Today a few new acronyms in Jacksonville and Northeast Florida Real Estate lingo describe a recent development in the Northeast Florida Real Estate Market. Real estate professionals in the area first recognized this phenomenon a few years ago.

The first acronym is the "Half Back Phenomenon".  Realtors and other real estate professionals have identified a trend that started a few years ago. This trend affected the Florida, Georgia, Virginia, North and South Carolina real estate market. They recognized that owners of condominiums were moving north from the south and central Florida communities. Owners were moving closer to where they previously lived and worked, about half-way back to their original homestead prior to their retirement.

This has affected the condominium market more than any other type of real estate sold in the Jacksonville as well as the  Northeast  Florida corridor. Retirees and those looking for vacation property have found the Northeast Florida and Jacksonville Fl market very alluring. Recent interviews with individuals who transplanted to Northeast Florida area explained why they moved from central Florida to the greater Jacksonville Florida area. Many left southern and central Florida but wanted to stay in Florida. They explained that the availability of affordable housing and low real estate taxes lured them to the Jacksonville Fl real estate market as well as the other communities in Northeast Fl.

Half-Back homebuyers can find a home that fulfills every item on their wish list because of the variety of Condominium communities available in Northeast Florida. Riverfront, oceanfront, downtown, or suburban communities exist. Your Northeast Fl / Jacksonville Fl real estate agent will find that new home you have been searching for somewhere in the Northeast Florida real estate market.

Luxury condominiums as well as more affordable residences offer a variety of amenities that attract homebuyers. Jacksonville's Arlington/Ft Caroline area is home to Kernan Forest, Hammock Grove, Lantern Square and Merrill Pines offer Gated communities. The activities available for residents include resort style pools and playgrounds.

In vibrant Downtown Jacksonville luxury riverfront condominiums are The Berkman Plaza, San Marco Place, and The Peninsula. These high rise luxury riverfront complexes located on the north bank of the St Johns River offer amenities and year-round activities. The stellar Shipyard located on 800 Bay Street East has recently joined these communities. Residents of these communities enjoy swimming, sailing, fitness centers, organized group activities, business centers, and 24-hour concierge service. Many of the complexes are gated and provide underground garages for secure and convenient parking.

Desire a suburban setting, consider the condos in Southside. Grand Reserve, Il Vilagio, Acquilus Waterfront, Timberlin Parc, 5200 Club, 6000 ON THE RIVER, Esplanada at Town Center, and The Overlook are just a few that offer homes in a wide range of prices with many different amenities.

Those interested in the intercoastal waterways can look for property in just about any of the greater Jacksonville Florida communities.
