Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Florida Network Realty BK 3030920

 

Here are the 2011 stats and 2010 for comparison -

 2011

 

  • 15 Homes Sold (August=18, so a decrease of 3)
  • Lowest price: $55,000 (August=$70,000)
  • Highest price: $595,000 (August=$1,150,000)
  • Shortest Days on Market: 1 (August=1)
  • Longest Days on Market: 379 (August=727)

2010

 

  • 18 homes sold (August=26)
  • Lowest price: $32,100 (August=$35,000)
  • Highest price: $545,000 (August=$1,500,000)
  • Shortest Days on Market: 2 (August=1)
  • Longest Days on Market: 208 (August=298)

 

Sales are down about 20% month over month, mirroring both Jacksonville & Neptune Beach.  Look at lowest price sold, and the increases year over year; combined with manageable inventory, this is an indicator of a recovering real estate market.

Atlantic Beach is the northernmost of our beaches communities here in the Jacksonville Beaches area, and many residents enjoy the pedestrian feel of the town, with Town Center’s restaurants and shops so close by.

You can read the August report here: August 2011.

Properly priced and properly presented properties are STILL selling – currently, the Jacksonville area has about 9 months of inventory (housing supply), right now and homes can and do sell in very few days on market.  Atlantic Beach has 7.53 months of inventory as I write this post.

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.

If you or someone you know is considering a short sale, please have them contact me for a no-obligation confidential interview about their current situation and how best for them to move forward. 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.

Carol - I love the sunset. It seems like comparison to last year same month was not favorable, and I'm not surprised. Until the employment environment changes, I don't expect housing to improve. Meaning we will be slow for at least another year. I don't see our president doing anything to help business.

Hi Carol, looks like 2011 is a better year in your area. Good information to provide the buyers and sellers. The info on the absorption rate will help the sellers understand the importance of pricing the house aggresively. Great post.
