Welcome to Our Four New Agents

May 10, 2011

 | 

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve added four new Agents to our growing team of real estate pros.  A warm Davidson Realty WELCOME to Anna Decker, Kodi Merrell, Amber Overstreet and Maxine Levy!

Anna Decker_DSC_1820When Anna Decker‘s son enrolled in college recently, she took the opportunity to embark on a new career in real estate.  Anna brings top-notch customer service experience with her, gleaned from many years as a travel professional and a small business owner.  Community-minded Decker helps with fundraising and events for St. Augustine’s St. Francis House.  She enjoys sailing, skydiving (we love her adventurous spirit!) and gourmet cooking.Kodi Merrell

We suspect that our World Golf Village location attracted Kodi Merrell to our team, but that’s fine with us.  Florida-native Kodi Merrell is an accomplished golfer who competed on the Flagler College Men’s Golf Team.  He joined Davidson Realty after graduating from Flagler and we love that he brings the dedication and focus he learned on the golf course to his work as an Agent.  Kodi does volunteer work with The First Tee of St. John’s County.

Amber OverstreetAmber Overstreet came to Jacksonville from Roanoke, Virginia where she was born and raised and we love that she reminds us all the time how lucky we are to live here.  Amber has embraced the Florida lifestyle, even taking up surfing.  Amber is a graduate of James Madison University.  She came to Davidson Realty from Merrill Lynch where she obtained her Series 7 license. She’s devoted to Max, her German Shephard/Lab rescue dog, and also enjoys drawing and playing sports.maxine

Maxine Levy is an experienced pro who provides her real estate clients with sharp financial advice.  Prior to embarking on a real estate career with Davidson Realty, Maxine spent 27 years in the financial industry in Jamaica. She managed the Retail Lending Unit for a major banking institution where she drove strong results year-after-year ensuring the branch was always in the top 10 performers out of 41 branches. Maxine dove right into the Davidson family, participating full-heartedly in charitable events and company outings!

We’re looking to add more self-starters to our Davidson Realty team.  Give us a call (904.940.5000), send us an email (pdavidson@davidsonrealtyinc.com) or stop by our office to learn more about a career in real estate.

Jacksonville FL Real Estate Trends – March 2011

“It’s not so important who starts the game but who finishes it. ”  John Wooden

This is one of my favorite quotes from the great coach John Wooden. It seems appropriate now because this economy has taken down a lot of good businesses. Many people still in the real estate business have commented to me that there is no way they would give up now after all they have been through. This spirit and determination is what makes this nation and this industry great.

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market statistics for March continue to show good activity and lower prices. Pending sales of 1,909 homes for March, 2011 were up 3.9% over March, 2010; however, the current trend is more dramatic. The last 6 months of pending sales average 1,278 per month compared to 1,909 in March 2011. We have experienced this dramatic increase in our office and our April numbers may be close to March.

The closed sales for March, 2011 are down from March, 2010 by 7.1% but that doesn’t tell an accurate story. The March, 2010 number of 1,548 was substantially higher than all the previous months in 2010 and 2009 due to the federal tax credits. The March, 2011 number of closed sales of 1,438 was a higher number of closings than every month since June, 2010 except for 1 month. Overall we are showing an improvement in closings. I believe this is primarily a result of more confident buyers.

The average and median price declines continue and are directly tied to the continued increase, on a month-to-month bases, of lender-mediated sales. Traditional sales are down as a percentage on a month-to-month comparison and will remain that way in the future until we work our way out of the high volume of distressed property currently available. The good news is the median sales price of traditional sales was up 8.7% over March, 2010 while the median sales price of lender–mediated sales was down 13.2%. Total median sales price is down 10.9% compared to March, 2010 with a slight upward trend over February. In March, 57.4% of all closings were lender-mediated. Read more
