July 11, 2023

When prospective buyers are looking for a house, they’re not just buying four walls and a door. They’re looking for a home they can grow in, supported by a vibrant community. MasterCraft Builder Group specializes in just that – crafting homes and building communities. They are a semi-custom home builder and community developer specializing in the Northeast Florida market.

 

MasterCraft designs and creates thoughtful spaces that are tailored to its residents. They offer builds in three unique communities: Silverleaf, Maderia and Trailmark. These communities are amenity-rich, appealing to diverse crowds and designed with a deep appreciation for nature. Open land, conservation spaces and recreational access are all de rigueur in communities featuring MasterCraft homes.

 

One thing our Realtors and buyers love about MasterCraft homes is their Higher Standards. Their commitment to providing top-notch builds is evident throughout the home-buying process. Their fine craftsmanship shows in quality materials, better building techniques and a promise not to cut corners. It also means that buyers have choices when it comes to building their dream home. Homeowners have the flexibility to personalize design and finishes, giving each home its own unique personality. Unequaled customer service is the peak of MasterCraft’s Higher Standards. Buyers enjoy concierge service from contract to closing.

 

MasterCraft Builder Group knows the local community – not only do their staff live and work in Northeast Florida. They are deeply entrenched in the community, providing financial and logistical support to charitable organizations annually. Davidson Realty and MasterCraft have formed a strong bond through their philanthropic work.

“The army of Israel looked at Goliath through the eyes of man and said he’s too big to beat.  David looked at him through the eyes of God and said he’s too big to miss.” Wally Carter

 

It is all about our perspective.

 

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) market review for May shows the median sales price of $354,800 is up 4.4% over April and down 1.4% from May 2022. The predictions of large price decreases in our area haven’t occurred.

 

The active inventory of 5,804 properties is up 4.7% from April. This number includes many new construction homes that are not completed. The months supply of inventory of 2.1 months is down slightly from 2.2 months in April. A balanced market is 5 to 6 months of available inventory.

Congratulations to all our TOP Producers in May!

June 19, 2023

 | 

May the month known to represent love and success proved to be true here at Davidson Realty.  Lots of both going around as we celebrate and acknowledge our TOPS this month!  It is always insightful to hear from our best so this month we asked them for their advice that could help future home sellers.  We asked them for anyone thinking of selling their home what are their TOP 3 recommendations for sellers to consider or do before they hit the market. Please read on as they share their helpful tips.

 

 

 

Our Top Producer is Mirtha Barzaga with over $2.1 million in closings for the month.

 

 

 

 

 

Mirtha – When I meet with a prospective seller I go through their home and give them a detailed list of my top recommendations.

  • Usually this includes giving them a punch list of things I notice that should be repaired and give them vendors they could use in case they need them.
  • Since curb appeal is so important in attracting prospective buyers, I also recommend they pressure wash the house and driveway, as the home should look as fresh as possible.  In continuing with the outside landscaping is a must! I recommend revamping beds, proper trimming, and mulch if necessary.
  • Another key tip I strongly suggest to sellers is to Declutter.   Less is more!  You want buyers walking in and being able to appreciate the space and picture themselves in the house. Pack away everything you can, after all you are moving.  Whatever you are still using in showers or kitchen, keep in a plastic basket that can be put away when the showings are taking place.

 

 

 

Our Top Lister and Top Overall Sales for May is Reba Barkley with over $1.3 Million in pending sales.

  1. First impressions matter, and the exterior of the home can peak a Buyer’s interest in anticipation of what will be seen inside. A manicured lawn pruned and shaped shrubbery, seasonal plantings, welcome mat, and wreath on the door sets a positive tone before a Buyer enters the home.
  2. Less is more when selling a home. Buyers need to picture themselves living in the home, which means decluttering, depersonalizing, and minimizing furnishings and accessories. Eliminate any distractions that will interfere with the focus on the highlights of the home and what makes it stand out among other listings.                         
  3. A neutral color palette works with most furnishings, gives Buyers a clearer perception of how their items will fit in the home, and can eliminate a Buyer calculation of an out-of-pocket cost of repainting.

Is Professional Real Estate Photography Important?

June 13, 2023

 | 
Posted by in News

When creating a listing, Realtors have only one chance to make a first impression. Square footage and robust descriptions are key, but to give potential buyers a real sense of the property, photos are a must. But not all photos are created equal. Despite mobile phone cameras being at the fingertips of virtually everyone, they don’t possess the technology to capture a photo the same as a professional camera. In fact, studies have shown that listings with professional photography sold 50% faster and 39% closer to the original listing price than similar homes without professional photography.

 

“A phone camera just cannot create the nuance that a professional camera can,” explains Dan Colley, professional real estate photographer and co-owner of North Florida Real Estate Photography, LLC. “It doesn’t have enough of a wide-angle lens; therefore, it cuts rooms into small portions, and you lose a lot of the dynamic range of light.” Colley and his staff shoot with wide-angle lenses, to capture the maximum pictorial information in the room. His process differs from phone and even traditional photography in his methods. He takes multiple shots of each scene and then blends them into one photo. This helps create a full range of color and light, just as seen by the human eye.
