carol zingone: Costa Verano Fountain Suds! - 09/07/10 07:45 AM
If you follow my daily blogs (now daily, I should say!), you may be aware my new habit is to ride home from the gym in the morning and take pictures of the sunrise.
Yesterday, someone had put some sort of foaming agent/soap in the fountain outside Costa Verano, a condominium in Jacksonville Beach. There were HUGE soapy clouds floating through the air, and I could not resist snapping a few photos. One of the viewers worked maintenance for Costa Verano, and said whatever was used was not a typical soap, as it did not disintegrate upon touch.
The fountain...

carol zingone: Texting Your Buyers? - 09/05/10 08:14 AM
I have a prior buyer back in the picture; he had some credit issues to take care of, and he and his dad were all excited about an REO property. They had previously had an offer in on this house, when it was a short sale, and we just could not get to closing.
His credit fresh and squeaky clean (yay!), they wanted to go back to this house which was now an REO. It would have to be a rehab 203K loan, but was well priced. So, they were disappointed when I told them it was under contract.
I emailed them … (3 comments)

2009

However, Neptune Beach is the smallest of the beach communities, and therefore, has a smaller supply of entry level/first time buyer homes.
Year over year, … (0 comments)

carol zingone: "Motivation Letter" for Lender....Have You Heard Of This? - 09/01/10 08:27 AM
Great news! I had a closing that actually closed yesterday! We were scheduled for 4pm 8/31/10..
At 10:30am, my most awesome in-house lender called me with a request; what follows is a rough transcript:
Travis: The lender needs a motivation lender for your buyer, can you get her to write one?
Carol: Sure, but can you tell me first what this is, and why NOW?
Travis: They need a letter outlining why she wants to buy the house that you have a contract on, and the letter also needs to address what they intend to do with their current property.
Carol: Ok, … (5 comments)

carol zingone: Foreclosures Sold Year To Date, Jacksonville, FL 2010 - 08/26/10 09:43 AM
Out of curiosity, I just ran a list of foreclosed properties sold this year in Jacksonville, Florida.
As most of you are aware, Florida is one of the hardest hit states in terms of distressed housing inventory.
This year, a total of 1,142 bank owned properties have sold.
The lowest price, incredibly, appears to be ZERO dollars, which is, as we all know, impossible. This particular property was sold in a bulk sale, so the exact sales price is unknown (according to the listing agent).
The highest price was $780,000 for a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom Ponte Vedra Beach property.

carol zingone: Jacksonville, FL Market Statistics July 2010 - 08/07/10 08:58 AM
2009 2010 Change
New Listings 2682 2594 -3% Sold Listings 1299 1115 -14% Months of Inventory 10.19 12.06 18% Total Inventory 13,233 13,446 1% Average Sales Price 190,357 176,065 -8% Under Contract 1305 1453 11% Sold Days on Market 117 120 3% List Price to Sale Price Differential 94.7 95.1 0%
Pending sales are still showing an increase in July, albeit a smaller increase than in other months.
Closed sales were down 14%, marking July as the first month this year with a decline in close sales.
This is also the first month we've seen an INCREASE in inventory this year, which is not a positive sign for absorption of excess inventory.

carol zingone: Helpful Recycling Information - 08/02/10 06:07 AM
I have always been raised to recycle - my mother recycled 30+ years ago in New Jersey, when we had to drive the magazines/newspapers, aluminum, and glass to the recycling center one town over. We actually rinsed the aluminum foil before recycling it!
Since I have recycling in my genes, so to speak, I was very surprised to learn recently that putting your recycling out the night before, while convenient, it's not good for the newspaper or other paper products in your recycling bin. Why? It actually ruins the paper products and makes them completely unsuitable for the recycling process.

carol zingone: What Do To During Hurricane Warning - 08/01/10 11:44 AM
Just a few items to keep in mind:
Clear yards of loose objects, bicycles, lawn furniture, garbage cans,etc. Secure boats. Remember that most draw/swing bridges will be closed to boat traffic after the evacuation order is issued. Protect windows, take down awnings, and otherwise secure home. Gather materials needed to take to a shelter or supplies needed if you stay in your home. Prepare to evacuate if it should become necessary. Fill cars with gasoline and check the battery, water, and oil. Check flashlight and radio batteries. Stay tuned to local radio and television stations for official weather and emergency … (0 comments)

carol zingone: So, The House Next Door Is A Foreclosure....Or, On It's Way... - 07/09/10 08:43 AM
Many people now have a neighboring house ths is what we in the industry consider "distressed", meaning it's a short sale, on it's way to foreclosure, or a foreclosure. This means, in all likelihood that the yard is no being maintained, and it looks awful.
Additionally, the unmaintained yard is an invitation for all sorts of other issues, including: weeds, vermin, squatters - the list goes on and on.
What can you do? Here are some options to consider, so you can at least take some action towards a resolution:
