A little farther out

By
Real Estate Agent with Exit Real Estate Gallery Jacksonville Beach, FL SL 463072

Agents please keep an open mind when it comes to showing property out of your neighborhood. Mostly we just do the same things in the same areas and with pretty much the same results. In this market it behoves us to think outside the boxes we have previously designed.

My new home community is slightly rural to the "hot" spots in Jacksonville, FL. The up side is that because the land was more reasonable, the savings was passed along to the buyer. Where else in Jacksonville can you build a 3901 SF 6/4.5-3 car gar. for $207,900?

My prices start in the high $130's soon and that is a great little starter home of 1435 SF 3/2-2 car. These homes sit on at least half acre lot, to boot. Maybe the children of your established older buyers would like a really nice concrete block home but usually can not qualify for the luxury of their parents.

The only trade off here is that it is a bit farther from others.Callahan, FL is in beautiful Nassau County, convenient to one of the newest outdoor Malls called River City Marketplace, convenient to I95 and convenient to the airport, JAX.

Please keep the easily observable better value in mind when you talk with home buyers who may need a different solution. We also do USDA financing due to the location. I hear "The Pig" is a GREAT place to claim your favorite Bar-B-Que dinner, too.

Wow that sounds great, I love rural property.  How much does a lot usually go for in that subdivision?  Does it have wells and septics?  Or some type of community system?  Good luck with the sales.

We don't sell home sites alone but the homes here start @ $142,900 until I get my new plan the "Avella" and it will start in the $130"s (1435-SF) Yes, it has well and septic. Thanks for the well wishes. This place is really nice and once I really get the word out, it will surely sell very well. I just got here a month ago or so and have one sale so far.  It will take some work but what doesn't.

Billings Montana sounds about as rural as it gets. Lots of land, not much population. I wish you great luck, too.  Looks like you have done your work with all of your designations. All of which are difficult to get through. Thanks for your comments.

A very timely reminder to all agents, no matter where they live, to look a "little beyond".
