- 07/20/10 08:15 AM
This Month in Real Estate - July 2010 June fared as a pretty good month for Fleming Island in 2010 as far as home sales go. We came out ahead of 2009 by nearly 10% reaching a total sales volume of $10.8M compared to just $9.7M in 2009. While home sales were up, it is largely in fact due to the great deals that are currently out there. The average sales price in June 2010 was a mere $245,000 down almost 10% from $267,000 last year at this time. Although these price decrease may not be encouraging; it is far … (1 comments)

- 02/01/10 07:49 AM
Buying a home is an exciting and adventurous process filled with many ups, downs, and uncertainties. When you are making what will most likely be the biggest purchase of your life, you want the process to be as smooth and pain free as possible. The number one way I recommend to go about doing this is to avoid looking at, and putting offers in on short sales.

orange park real estate: Real Estate Mythbuster: There's no such thing as the perfect house!
- 07/21/09 08:26 AM
There is a difference between finding the "perfect" house and finding the RIGHT house. No home, anywhere, no matter what the price, is going to have every feature and detail or be in the perfect location. Even someone that builds a custom home will find things they might have done differently, once it's finished. Finding the right house is a lot easier than you might think! It starts with a serious analysis of your needs, lifestyle, hobbies, family, and finances. There is a lot more to a house than three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fenced backyard. As a buyer's … (0 comments)

orange park real estate: Pricing Your Home Correctly Does Matter!!
- 04/23/07 08:26 AM
Pricing a home correctly is crucial in all markets, especially in a down turn market like now. Many agents will tell you, "days on the market in my area is almost 6 months". Very true, but how long is the days on the market for SOLD properties? In most markets it is still between 45-60 days. So the truth still holds strong, properly priced homes that are well maintained/staged will still sell in a reasonable amount of time. This can be great news for you as a seller....you can realistically sell in less than 60 days!
The power of pricing is amazing. Now, this … (0 comments)

Questions to Ask Your Realtor about Buying a House1. Are you a full-time professional Realtor®?
