For anyone looking for a refreshing break from the Paneras and Starbucks of the world, we have got the place for you. The Ugly Cupcake Muffinry, located at 115 5th Avenue South in Jacksonville Beach, is the perfect antidote to those chain cafes, but with all the perks like an extensive menu and delicious eats.

Visiting the Muffinry on a rainy Monday morning, my day instantly became brighter when I walked into the beautiful, historic beach house and smelled the fresh baked muffins.

 

I ordered The Original, which included a fried egg, Canadian bacon, cheddar jack cheese, tomato and onion inside a beautifully ugly “bruffin.” The resident muffin queen Colleen described bruffins as a “cross between an English muffin and a muffin top.” Yes, it was kind of ugly, but absolutely delectable.

Q&A with Sherry: Buying strategies for a seller’s market

Like much of the country, Northeast Florida’s home inventory has remained low and prices continue to inch upward. So, what does that mean for our real estate market? It means we are in the midst of a seller’s market, one that tends to be more competitive for buyers on the hunt for a new home.

However, there are a number of ways buyers can position themselves for a successful home search. I recently caught up with Davidson Realty President Sherry Davidson who provided some insights on our current market and how buyers can best prepare for buying in a seller’s market.

Northeast Florida inventory is down almost 12% and months’ supply is down 15+%. What do you see driving this trend?  We are seeing strong buyer demand. There are nearly 1,000 people a day moving to Florida. The economy is good and people are more confident. Also, millennials are the largest percentage of purchasers now as they begin to buy homes and start their families.

How do you think this trend will play out as we enter summer months? New construction is increasing but buyer demand is strongest in the spring and summer. I think we will continue seeing multiple offers and increasing prices.

“One thing I can say about George… he may not be able to keep a job, but he’s not boring.” Barbara Bush

Barbara Bush was a great lady who had a great perspective on life and I will miss her.

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats for March 2018 continue to show strong buyer demand and the inventory of available homes remains tight with a 3.3 months supply. A balanced market is 5 to 6 months of supply.

This continues to cause the significant rise in prices. The median sales price is $224,118 which is up 15% over last March and 14% year to date. The average sales price of $269,415 is up 11% over last March and 12% year to date.

The builders are trying to meet the demand. The Northeast Florida Builders Association reports 1,519 building permits issued in the four county MSA in January and February 2018 compared to 1,289 for the same period last year reflecting a 17.8% increase.
