Jacksonville Fl Real Estate Market Report August 2017From the last real estate market report for Jacksonville, we really don't see many changes. It is note worthy to see the original list price to sales price is 10% less now in Aug 2017, than in August 2016.What that means is on average, the sellers in Jax took 15.85% less than what they had originally listed the home for. Now, there's a way to make that look better, and I'm sure some agents will do it to artificially inflate their numbers. There's a Original List price to sold price and a list price to sold price. The original is meaning the price at the time the agent lists it and calculated for what the house has sold for. The other way of calculating it, is to take the list price of when the house sold, and calculate the sold price ... 10/02/2017

Jacksonville Short Sale Realtor What is a real estate short sale? A quick sale in real estate, also commonly called a short sale, happens when a lender is willing to accept a lower payoff on a loan than what is currently owed due to the borrowers inability to continue making payments.

While lenders seem to be easier to work with lately regarding qualifications, there are usually three borrower qualifications that most lenders require for a Jacksonville short sale. Negative Equity - The proceeds from the sale of the property, after all closing costs are paid, are less than the amount currently owed on the property, Financial Insolvency - Financial insolvency means that the borrower has no other assets that could cover the deficiency (the di... 04/17/2017

 Sunday, December 4, 2016 Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man   Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man  Who remembers the Rock Band Lynyrd Skynyrd? Robert Vegas Bob Swetz grew up with bands back in the 1970's like Lynyrd Skynyrd along with many other rock bands. I remember watching the Lynyrd Skynyrd when they were just a warm up band for the heavy hitters like the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, etc.  The Lynyrd Skynyrd band would outplay and out perform the top bands when they were a warm up band and Vegas Bob had the privilege of viewing Lynyrd Skynyrd 5 different times in concert over the years' After a tragic plane crash killed some of the band members it really crushed the band for many years.
