Update on Market Trends for October 2009

Sherry DavidsonwebAfter reviewing the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors October Market Stats, I continue to see real estate in Jacksonville, FL stabilizing.

The pending sales in October are up 79% over last year, but that is misleading unless you put into context what the market was like last October. If you remember, the country was experiencing a financial market meltdown. The pending sales are good and improving every month. August pending sales were 1, 479, September was 1,535 and October was 1,729. That is a terrific trend.

The prices of homes in Northeast Florida seem to be stabilizing. The median sales price for August, September, and October were $149,900, $145,000, and $146,000. The average prices for the same months were $179,411, $175,108 and $179,205. The year to date average sales price is down about 20% from last year. Read more

Home Buyer Tax Credit Extended!

Sherry DavidsonDavidson Realty has been working with many first-time buyers looking for homes in St. Augustine that have been unable to close by November 30, 2009, which would prevent them from qualifying for the awesome tax credit of $8,000. This was a huge problem for families taking advantage of the great pricing on short sales in St. Augustine. The lenders are getting better, but the short sale process can still be very lengthy.

But now there is good news for all of these buyers that are unable to close by November 30th. The tax credit for first time homebuyers has been extended so that you as long as you sign a contract to buy a home before April 30, 2010 and close on your home by June 30, 2010, you are eligible for the $8,000 credit.

Beverly Morse“I would recommend you to all sellers and purchasers…”

Those are words that every Realtor dreams to hear and it isn’t the first time that Davidson Realty agent, Beverly Morse, has heard them. That quote comes directly from a letter written by one of Beverly’s clients after she sold their house in two weeks.

Beverly’s fascination with beautiful homes and decorating drew her into real estate. She also believes her past career led her to where she is today. She says she has been in service related jobs her entire career, so it seemed natural to combine working with people and helping them find the ideal house for their family.  Read more
