florida: Fay is on her Way? To Jacksonville??? Hello! Doesn't She Know That We Don't Do 'Canes Up Here? - 08/19/08 05:37 PM
Someone needs to tell hurricane Fay that she needs GPS.  We never (well, ALMOST never) get hurricanes here in Northeast Florida.  Local lore is that it is that cute little tummy tuck up there at the crown of the state just to our north that sends them up to either Georgia or the Carolinas.
I can remember living in Jacksonville during the late '70s when Hurricane David decided to march straight up the coast to give Jacksonville a good shake, rattle and roll.  My dad was a general contractor down in the Bahamas, so having experienced some serious hurricanes first hand, I … (23 comments)

florida: Celebrity Bounty Hunter Leonard Padilla Should Hire a Publicist - 08/19/08 12:06 AM
California "celebrity" bounty hunter Leonard Padilla is in Orlando apparently formulating a plan to bail Casey Anthony out of jail.  Anthony has been a guest of the Orlando judicial system for a month on charges of obstructing justice, making false statements and child neglect related to the disappearance of her three-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony. Caylee was two when she disappeared. 
If Anthony is released, reports state that associates of Padilla will live with her 24 hours a day, seven days a week, supposedly trying to get more information about Anthony's missing daughter.  Anthony is telling officials that she left Caylee with … (11 comments)

florida: The British are Coming, The British are Coming (and the Canadians, too!) - 08/10/08 08:41 AM
It comes as no surprise that the top states for foreign buyers are Florida, California, Arizona and Texas, but I was surprised recently when I reviewed a recent National Association of Realtors report that stated that Canadians are now the number one international buyer of American real estate, a position previously long held by Mexican buyers. 
Canadians currently account for nearly one quarter of all foreign buyers.  We all know how strong the Canadian dollar is compared to the America dollar, and clearly Canadian buyers are using a soft housing market to make their move and take advantage of some of … (3 comments)

florida: Letters to the Great Swami Seeking Answers on the Market, the Market Bottom, and the Real Estate Recovery - 08/09/08 01:03 PM

 
 
Dear Real Estate Swami:
A couple of months ago I read something in one of your posts about the Jacksonville, Florida, Real Estate market being in a possible recovery.  Are we in a recovery and if so, do you have any idea when home prices in Jacksonville will be at the bottom? 
Signed,
Waiting
 
Dear Waiting:
The post you are referring to was What's Really Happening in the Jacksonville Real Estate Market.  Didn't The Great Swami already state in a Fisher & Company, P.A. newsletter to clients and later blog that there were numerous local market indicators that pointed … (4 comments)

florida: Is the "New" FHA Loan the Buyer's (and Seller!) Best Friend? - 07/16/08 02:46 AM
If you have a home to sell or are looking to buy, an FHA loan could be the deal maker.
Now that the Jacksonville (Florida) real estate market is ramping back up, buyers are searching for the best value in a home and the best value in a mortgage.  But with all the chatter in the media about tightened credit and Freddie and Fannie problems, where's a buyer to turn?
The best deal for smart home buyers may be the once favored mortgage of first-time buyers, the FHA mortgage, but now even "move-up" buyers need to seriously consider today's FHA loan … (4 comments)

florida: What's Really Happening in the Jacksonville (Florida) Real Estate market - 07/15/08 07:10 AM
We sent this article out to all of our clients in May and since then we have had more than a handful of people call or email and tell us that we should post this.  It seems as though we aren't the only ones who recognize that there are plenty of good things to say about the market, and that we need to bang "the glass is half full" drum more loudly than those who are banging that it's empty. 
Cheer up, Jacksonville.  North Florida home buyers and sellers are in better shape than many are led to believe.  Take a closer look at the facts!
