It’s one of the 45 subdivisions that make up Julington Creek Plantation, but there are many qualities that distinguish River Oaks Plantation from the average suburban subdivision.  River Oaks Plantation family-oriented amenity center, community river dock that’s canoe and kayak accessible, and its plethora of water front homes are some of its draws. Residents also have access to Julington Creek Plantation amenities such as the aquatic center, playgrounds, tennis courts, volleyball courts, basketball courts and an 18 hole golf course. A public library is also located within Julington Creek. Read more

House Hunting by Text Message

Texting Program resizeWe love when technology really solves a problem, makes lives easier and does a job better. So three cheers for technology improving the age-old Home For Sale sign! No more soggy info sheets, missing info sheets or outdated pricing. In fact, no more paper. We replaced the traditional info tube with new text messaging signs. Now house hunters can send a quick text to get the most up-to-date info on a Davidson Realty property sent right to their phone, including photos and video tours, 24/7. You can also conveniently communicate with a Realtor to learn more about a home for sale. Another advantage: the info stays with you on your phone so you can refer to it later or share with family and friends.

Look for the new Davidson Realty signs in neighborhoods throughout the World Golf Village area, Ponte Vedra and Julington Creek and stay comfortably in your car while you text for all the details on that perfect home.

Meet our Top St. Augustine Realtors in January!

February 3, 2012

Posted by in Uncategorized

January did not bring the sales and closings numbers we were hoping for, but there was still a lot of great activity in Northeast Florida – particularly when it comes to new home construction! Our St. Augustine Realtors alone sold five homesites and six new construction homes in the month of January. It’s great to know new construction is happening again and there are new neighbors on the way!

jenniferThe Top Lister of the month is Jennifer Todd with $385,000 in listings sold. Jennifer’s specialty is new home construction and evaluating vacant land, but selling five lots in the month of January is impressive even for her!  All five of the homesites are in The Estates in the King & Bear – two were sold to a builder and three to individual buyers. Congratulations Jennifer!

suzyThe Top Sales Agent is Suzy Evans with over $350,000 in buyer sales. Suzy sold two new homes in January – one in World Golf Village’s premiere active adult community, The Cascades, and the other for KB Homes in Samara Lakes. You might remember Suzy from our last top’s blog on year-end awards. Suzy was our Top Sales Agent and Top Producer for all of 2011!

Jock OchiltreeOur Top Producer for January is Jock Ochiltree with close to $700,000 in closings. Jock also sold a homesite in Waterbury in World Golf Village’s King & Bear and had a total of four closings in January! Jock is our resident golf expert and would be happy to share his expertise on Jacksonville golf course communities with you.

A Look Back at 2011 Real Estate Trends!

January 30, 2012

“Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.” Chinese Proverb

I thought I would start 2012 by sharing my favorite quote and an optimistic attitude that we will continue to see stabilization and improvement in the real estate market. The main reason I predict continued improvement is the tightening of inventory.

The numbers are drastic enough to tell the story. At the end of 2010 there were 14,510 active properties for sale compared to 9,902 properties available at the end of 2011. That is a 32% decline in inventory. The “months supply of inventory” dropped from 10.6 months supply at the end of 2010 to 6.7 months supply at the end of 2011. A 5 to 6 months supply indicates a balanced market. The inventory declined the most (45%) in the under $150,000 price range but declined by 41% in the $500,000 to $999,999 price range.

A more practical example of the decline in inventory is how often my agents tell me stories about a customer liking a home and calling back a few days later to move forward with a purchase only to find out the home is under contract. Read more
