I love to look at homes and see what they sell for. It's a helfpul practice, as the market is moving very quickly right now in the coastal areas of Jacksonville, which include: Mayport, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra Beach, immediately to the south of Jacksonville Beach.    This home was purchased as a foreclosure in June 2014. It was (and still is) a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom pool home with just over 1,500 SF.   There was extensive interior and exterior upgrades. Per the Multiple Listing Service, the listing agent describes the renovation as follows : **BEAUTIFUL NEWLY RENOVATED BEACH POOL HOME** Come and see the wonderful finishes used in this COMPLETE RENOVATION. The new kitchen has custom Marble counters, espresso solid wood cabinets custom lighting, w...

I've always enjoyed "checking" myself and the market.   You know, you see something for sale, and you think (either internally or externally) "No way!"   I toured this foreclosure property in Jacksonville Beach twice over the past weekend at the request of two buyers who were interested.   This particular price does not appear at the beach often at all, much less for a single family house: it's listed for $150K.    This is a 3 bedroom,  1 bathroom home with about 1800 SF. Originally built in 1954, a large portion of the space is in an addition that looks a bit unususal: it has a bulit in planter on two walls in what seems to be a large addition that may not have been properly permitted and constructed.   The MLS states this is under contract, and I had predicted it would generate multip...

Flip the channel on your television and you will see multiple shows on remodeling, everything from DIY projects to professional designers and even contractors.  Most people have seen several ideas that have sparked the urge to investigate remodeling for themselves. But Where To Begin….?   Have a look around your home and decide on one project that you want to do from start to finish.  If you are thinking in terms of resale value, then the bathrooms and kitchen are your best features for a remodel.  The return on resale is approximately double the cost of the remodel.   Talk to the local suppliers of materials (check this out) and start to think about whether this is a job you want to do on your own (if you really are handy) or if it would be best to deal with a professional.    Funding ...
