                                       A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words! We have a major milestone in our lives! Our youngest son, John, graduated from Fleming Island High School this past week! We are so proud of him as he continues to college in the Fall. John really enjoyed his years at Fleming Island High School. Both his teachers and friends proved to be excellent influences on his life and pursuits of academic excellence. So now another chapter is opening in our lives, as all three of our children are in higher education. We need to sell more real estate! If you know someone who needs to buy or sell, support a worthy cause and help us get our kids through college :)

Eagle Harbor Market Report ~ May 2011 This is a snapshot of the market for May in Eagle Harbor. With 93 homes on the market and 12 homes sold in May, there is a 7.75 month supply of homes for sale in Eagle Harbor. When you spread that over the price range available, from the $130,000s to $999,000, the selection of homes in some price ranges is limited and could be less than 7 months. 6-7 months is considered a balanced market, so there is not really an over supply of homes for sale in Eagle Harbor. Home prices are still declining due to the downward pressure of distressed property sales, but sales were very good in May. This report covers single family homes only.
