Home sales are down about 8% year over year, very close to flat.  The lowest price home sold figures are up impressively year over year, similar to other beaches communities. I’m not concerned at all about the difference in the highest price home sold figures, as Ponte … (3 comments)

This is very consistent with what I have been posting on a monthly basis: the market is improving. Yes, sales are off about 10% year over year, but that is very negligible in our market at this time.  The lowest price sold home increased 44% (I have … (3 comments)

foreclosures: REO's & Home Inspections -VERY Important! - 05/03/11 11:41 AM
 
We have all had our individual challenges with what looks good to the eye, and what is actually not.
ALL properties, regardless of title status or seller, are worthy of a solid home inspection. There is a standard inspection phrase in our purchase & sale agreements here in Florida, and I imagine they exist in almost all purchase & sale agreements. My most recent experience helped my buyers avoid a major bullet.
What did we find?
 Non-standard workmanship on the front porch, the unfinished rear addition, and the attached hot water heater shed. Improper electrical throughout the entire home, requiring … (2 comments)

foreclosures: Pssst - Hey, Buyer, Want To See The "Secret" List of Homes??? - 03/12/11 11:07 AM
Hey, there, Mr/Mrs Buyer over there! Yeah, YOU!
Want to see my secret squirrel list of homes NOT on the MLS yet?  The ones that are move-in ready with 3-4 bedrooms, 2000 or more square fee for less than $100,000 and a block from the beach?  Yes, with granite, and travertine and stainless steel appliances? Yeah, just follow me around this dark corner, and I'll show it to you....
No, don't worry, you'll be just fine, I don't want to hurt you or anything, I just can't let ANYBODY else see this list!
I'm only showing it to you so you … (13 comments)

foreclosures: We BOUGHT This House 11/4/2010! How Can They Attempt to Foreclose on 3/4/11???? - 03/04/11 03:24 AM
True story, and I KNOW I'm not the only one with a stranger than fiction tale like this, as this is my second!
Investors purchased a Fannie Mae REO, and we closed on 11/4/10.  Everything about the transaction was "normal", meaning no title glitches, no delays.
They promptly started putting improvements into the property to prepare it to rent, and after about 2 months of work, they were ready to find a tenant, which they found in less than a week.
Tenant in place, everything is copacetic, until....this morning, when they call me to say some "property manager" went by to … (11 comments)

foreclosures: Why Sellers Should Understand Months of Inventory - 02/19/11 12:29 AM
 
We have all come across sellers who have, in their opinion, the best house on the block, more improvements than the neighbors, the unique floorplan that will help sell their house.
Some of these may be true, and some may have an impact on the listing price of the their home, but the truth is, part of it really comes down to supply and demand; the number of homes available and the buyers who want them.
There are many variables to supply and demand, but we'll look at Neptune Beach, a small oceanside community in Northeastern Florida as an example … (30 comments)

foreclosures: Showing Property at 8:30am On A Thursday?? - 02/17/11 02:28 PM
Yes, I was showing property this morning at 8:30am (ok, it was closer to 8:45am) due to foggy weather.  I'm thrilled to be showing houses to a qualified, motivated buyer on a weekday morning!
Why? I know my buyers are TRULY motivated when they are making time during the week (and this couple is in the restaurant industry), and they can look while the kids are at school and not a distraction.
We looked at 3 homes this morning, one REO, one re-sale (non-distressed), and one new construction, all within the buyer's price range and in their area with A rated … (4 comments)

foreclosures: What Does "Inventory" Really Mean? - 02/15/11 02:48 AM
We, as Realtors, sometimes fall into using jargon, lingo, verbiage, etc. that is relevant to us as professionals, but is not truly relevant to our customers, who are the consumers.
One of those words is "Inventory".
Inventory often refers to how much of a certain product a store has to sell, for example.  For Home Depot, their inventory of  a certain product, like glass tile backsplashes, needs to be at a certain level  for a number of reasons:
Customer demand drives how much inventory a store stocks.  Low customer demand (think lawnmowers in winter) means low to zero inventory. High … (4 comments)

foreclosures: Jacksonville Beaches Area, FL, Lender Mediated Sales Vs. Traditional Sales 2009/2010 Statistics - 02/12/11 03:22 AM
 
 

 
This data is provided by the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors, NEFAR.
 While there are obviously some negative price areas above (notably Jax Beach Southeast, Neptune Beach East, and Atlantic Beach East bearing the largest declines year over year), there is still some good news here to focus on.
Neptune Beach West saw a modest price increase 2009 to 2010 in traditional sales, and a modest decrease in lender mediated sales.  Neptune Beach is the smallest of the beaches communities, and has more single family housing than the other communities.
Similarly, Jax Beach Northwest (North of Beach … (0 comments)

My local board provides this info for us to use, and I have to say, when you look at it this way, it's pretty interesting.
