Home sales are down about 25% year over year, not as close to flat as they appeared in the January-June report. Days on market has declined, indicating sellers are pricing correctly. The lower end does not appear that much different year to year; and the upper end is flat year over year.
Ponte Vedra Beach has a varied housing supply, including townhomes and condos that make it affordable for many, along with the St. John’s County school districts, and a lower tax base.
Properly priced and properly presented properties are STILL selling – currently, the Jacksonville area has about 8.12 months of inventory (housing supply), right now and homes can and do sell in very few days on market. Ponte Vedra Beach has 17.38 months of inventory as I write this post, which is up significantly over the June numbers which showed 9.4 months of inventory.
If you are ready to list your home, call me for a comparable market analysis to see what price range you should list in, and to learn more about what sets myself and Prudential Network Realty apart from the competition. Our home sales in our Atlantic Beach office are up 26% comparing 2010 to 2009, so we know how to sell homes.

I hold the Certified Distressed Property Expert, and am one of a mere 18,000 who do so – I can help salvage their credit, and their financial future.
