I would like to congratulate everyone on our team for working together to safely help our customers with their real estate needs in new innovative ways. April was an interesting month to say the least.

 

The Top Producer for April with the most closings is Lynn Whitley. Lynn helped two families sell their home and one family purchase a new home all while dealing with all the safety procedures of a pandemic. Lynn is an experienced professional that found ways to get everything handled.

 

 

 

 

The Top Sales Agent is Ron Savarese who helped his buyers work through contracts with two local builders. Ron knows the entire first coast market and sold one home in St. Augustine and one in the northern part of Jacksonville.

Keep your home safe by reinforcing these home entry points

April 28, 2020

 | 

Thanks to video doorbell systems, we are now paying more attention to home security. We’ve all seen the videos online of would-be burglars and scammers caught by high-tech front porch security systems.

 

The only problem? These camera systems don’t actually prevent criminals from accessing your home. Even in gated neighborhoods and master-planned communities throughout Jacksonville and St. Augustine, home break-ins can and do happen—anywhere.

 

 

In addition to installing a home security system to alert the authorities of suspicious activity, it is important to deter criminals from even gaining access in the first place.

 

Here are a few ways you can increase protection at your home’s main entry points.

 

Garage door

The garage door is one of the most vulnerable entry points in a home! An amateur burglar can easily open it by drilling a hole in the door (or breaking a glass window, if applicable) and using a long hook tool to pull the emergency release wire. Once the wire has been pulled, the door disengages and can be opened manually in just seconds. This goes for heavy-duty garage doors as well; the spring system works to counter the door’s weight.

March 2020 Northeast Florida Market Stats: How is COVID-19 Impacting our Market.

I want to share the latest market stats from the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors and the thoughts of other Realtors and Builders on how the COVID-19 Pandemic is impacting our market.

 

The March 2020 market stats are surprisingly still positive because so many of the listings and sales were already in the works when we began seeing impacts from the virus in mid-March. There were 3,976 new listings compared to 3,963 last March for a 0.3% increase.

 

There were 2,832 pending sales down 5.9% from 3,010 last March as we began to see less buyers out in the last half of the month. There were 2,672 closed sales which is an increase of 2.1% over 2,617 last March. It seems most people under contract were able to close in March. We only lost a couple of transactions that were to close at the end of March.

 

We haven’t seen any impact on prices from the Pandemic yet. The median sales price of $243,635 was up 5.9% over last March and the average sales price of $287,210 was up 6.7%.
