Secret listing - 07/26/09 08:21 PM
One of the builders that I like to use has just received a home back due to financing. I think it's a good deal here in Jacksonville especially since the new Florida bond rate is 6%.

"Now for the secret one - It is a Marco, 3/2, with the beautiful B elevation, with a nice covered Front porch, in a cul-de-sac, and a very private, wooded, nature preserve behind it.  (no back yard neighbor).  No neighbor will be on one side of the home, either as it is also preser next to … (2 comments)

Protest those property taxes in Jacksonville, FL - 07/25/09 10:38 AM
 
We are coming up on that time of year again where it may be possible to lower your property taxes. In the month of August all Jacksonville, FL property owners will have the opportunity to appeal their property tax assessment.
 

 
Many Jacksonville homeowners have taken a hit with the loss of value in the market and it is just too tough for the Duval County property appraiser’s office to keep up with fluctuating values.

Where is the Jacksonville, FL Home Buyer money??????????? - 07/24/09 09:35 AM
We are now skimming the bottom of the barrell. Just about every down payment and closing cost assistance program in Jacksonville is out of money!
Jacksonville SHIP was the first to run out. That meant hundreds of Jacksonville, FL residents lost access to up to $14,999. Clay county SHIP was next followed by the nail in the coffin the H2H program.
