Very few days go by where I do not have a conversation with a friend or business contact who must sell their home quickly. The media has done a good job of alerting everyone to the fact that the housing market has taken a dive, which definitely slowed the sale of millions of homes across the country.

If the thought of when to place your home on the market is a concern, as you continue to read, you will find that a few things have changed since the first of the year, especially in the greater Jacksonville and Jacksonville Beaches areas.

According to a recent story in the Associated Press, the fallout in regard to foreclosures seems to be affecting Ohio, Nevada, Arizona, California and Florida with the highest increases in foreclosures in the first quarter of the year.

While it’s easy to miss the positive side of this news, the impact on home buyers is on the up-swing. However, in the City of Jacksonville and the Beaches areas, home sales are gaining ground as well. I’ve been fortunate enough to find a couple of niches that are moving somewhat faster, sales wise, than the market in general.

The circumstances that support this trend are most likely tied to rising foreign interest in the US real estate market, fueled by the current weakness in the dollar. When combined with the rising number of foreclosures and the attractiveness of the US dollar’s purchasing power in many countries, the timing is right for sales to warm up in this area.

My best advice for homeowners interested in selling is to spruce up and liven up interior and external areas of your home. Particularly in the Beaches areas where traffic is becoming noticeably higher.

My advice for buyers, including investors is to shop carefully. While real estate in interior areas of Jacksonville provide good dollar values, Jacksonville’s Beaches are beginning to sell at very attractive levels. With foreign interest warming, don’t hesitate too long before starting your search. There are many hidden values just waiting for an offer.

Please feel free to call me to get your questions answered.

President Barack Obama and his economic team are the lead story for news reports about the economy both locally and nationally. Regardless of who you listen to these days one thing is certain, the economy must move and move quickly in order for us to survive financially. Washington’s estimates for a forthcoming stimulus package range from several hundred billion to more than a trillion dollars.

If you are sitting on a home and concerned about selling, knowing when things will be starting to move would be a huge stress buster. I am in good company when it comes to being unable to time when the economy will begin ramping up again. Even the experts cannot predict whether it will be at the end of 2009 or the middle of 2010…or even later!

What I can say for certain is a move is definitely coming. I’ve lived and worked in the greater Jacksonville area for more than 20 years. My good fortune has been the benefit of having a network of friends and associates in the the communities of Jacksonville. This group includes business people as well as government contacts who keep me in the loop as changes begin to develop. This gives my clients a slight leading edge advantage, especially when a heating trend appears. Such is the case in the current real estate market.

Naturally, a more visible move in a positive direction is down the road from where we are today, however, I’ve gotten more calls from buyers in the last 30 days than I have in the past 6 months.

Timing is everything in this business. What this means is when the economy begins to make a move, you definitely don’t want to be the last one to find out.

Please feel free to call me for a complementary analysis of your home or business property. Knowledge is power and it pays to be prepared.

The Timing Is Perfect To Buy NE Florida Real Estate

As a Jacksonville Beach Realtor I keep an eye on what’s happening in the greater Jacksonville area. Being recognized as a Jacksonville Beach Best Realtor is nice, but I keep working harder to keep up with what’s happening in the marketplace.

For example, recently the market for any real estate near the beach, especially Jacksonville Beach oceanfront condos and Ponte Vedra real estate and other properties, have become an undervalued and overlooked commodity. Although there are signs that people are starting to buy, it’s clear the most needed item for most people is information.

People want to know what are the options and is this the best time to purchase a home. My answer is there is no better time to begin the search for a home. When speaking specifically about Jacksonville Beach, oceanfront and waterfront homes are a very solid value these days.

My fear is that hesitation will cost those who wait and try to “time” the market.  The best strategy is to make a decision and list what you want in a house and modify your list until it fits your lifestyle. At that point it’s time to go shopping.

An old saying, “A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words,” rings more true these days than ever before. Take a look at my most recent listings and judge for yourself. Please do not hesitate to call me with your questions.

My direct number is 904-910-0203. I look forward to speaking with you.
