Keith PearceOver the summer, Sherry Davidson decided to host a series of speakers at Davidson Realty’s community room to share information from professionals in World Golf Village with St. Johns County residents. Just to make it more fun, she decided to serve wine and cheese during the events!

We had no idea what to expect at the first one in August when Stephanie Harriett spoke. To make us a bit more anxious, there were horrible thunderstorms that night. (If you have ever planned an event, you know the weather can drastically impact your attendance!) However, we had over 30 people attend and Stephanie provided all kinds of useful information about wills, trusts and estate planning. Read more

Homes in St AugustineAs the world of real estate is ever changing, so are the Davidson Companies.

First, there was Davidson Development – the master developers of World Golf Village. Then, Davidson Realty was created to sell real estate in Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Fl.  In 2006, Davidson Property Management was formed to manage the homes that needed to be rented and to take care of properties for investors and out-of-area owners. On October 1, Davidson Referral Network will be launched to answer the demand for an alternative for licensed real estate agents. This new realty company will provide an option for:

  1. Agents that want to keep their license active, but are not going to work in the field full time.
  2. Agents with an inactive license that would like to earn extra money by referring family and friends to a Davidson agent.

Regardless of which option you select, you will be able to work with us in one of two ways. Option one is you can be an agent who occasionally makes a Read more

Short Sales Defined“Short sale” is a term I have heard a lot lately. I knew it referred to when a home owner sold their house for less than what they owed on it – with the lender’s approval. But I wasn’t exactly sure how it worked. So, when I was having coffee with Mirtha Barzaga – a Realtor at Davidson Realty, who is a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) and sells real estate and foreclosures in Jacksonville – I asked her about it.

She told me a story about a recent transaction she had done with her teammates, Juana Hausted and Pauline Cake, to show me how it works with the help of a professional. A Navy officer couple came to her when they were transferred from Florida to Virginia. They had bought a house they loved in World Golf Village three years ago, but the housing allowance wasn’t enough to keep it after their move. Mirtha explained they tried to modify their loan Read more

How is the Real Estate Market?

Sherry_DavidsonHow is the real estate market? I hear this question a lot. My answer lately has been that activity is up dramatically, but prices are not. Here are three trends that I like to watch.

1. Inventory levels
The number of active listings in the Northeast Florida Multiple Listing Service continues to decline. There are 14,945 properties for sale in August 2009 compared to 18,326 in August 2008. There are 18% less properties for sale. The months supply of inventory dropped from 17.1 months in August 2008 to 12.6 months in August 2009. Six months of inventory is when the market is most balanced.

2. Pending Sales
The pending sales in August 2009 are up 48% over August 2008. We have seen a large increase in the number of buyers looking for a home and the contracts that are being written.

3. Prices
The median sales price is down 17% from last year and 25% from two years Read more
