Here are the January 2010 stats and 2009 for comparison - 2010 6 Homes Sold Lowest price: $89,900 Highest price: $315,000 Shortest Days on Market: 7 Longest Days on Market: 113 2009 1homes sold Lowest price: $2,000,000 Highest price: $2,000,000 Shortest Days on Market: 0 Longest Days on Market: 0   I know what you are thinking – there is no way only one house sold in January 2009! It’s true, only one house, although a hefty price tag, sold in January 2009. Here’s the good news from the Happy Realtor: sales of homes in terms of units is obviously up year to year. January is typically a slower month, however, I have to report my Atlantic Beach Prudential office beat our January goals for both listings and sales – so despite these numbers, activity IS UP across the board. If you are ready ...

Here are the December 2009 stats and 2008 for comparison - 2009 4 Homes Sold Lowest price: $199,000           Highest price: $420,000          Shortest Days on Market: 7 Longest Days on Market: 119   2008 4 homes sold Lowest price: $193,000 Highest price: $600,000 Shortest Days on Market: 70 Longest Days on Market: 260 It is odd that the exact number of homes were sold in December of both 2008 and 2009 - however, Neptune Beach is the smallest of the beach communities, and does not have the same swings both Atlantic & Jacksonville Beach have. The price on the low end is 3% higher in 2009 than in 2008, which is a great sign the market is stabilizing.  Plus the reduction in days on market is another solid indication buyers feel the market is at the bottom. The high sales price year to year...

As most of us are looking to stretch our dollars, I have noticed some changes in my own spending and buying habits that I found interesting enough to share: Big Lots has a TON of deals, on both seasonal and everyday items. For example, they have small reed diffusers for $2.50 right now, great stocking stuffers, or as small gift exchange item. PLUS, I found my conditioner for 1/3 of the traditional retail store price.   The Ivory body wash is significantly less per fluid ounce than all competition, and it's thicker, so you effectively use less.  I was pleasantly surprised, really.   Regifting is not a crime, if done correctly. I regifted a board game at an event last night, it had never been used.  I am regifting a martini shaker and pair of glasses (very Mad Men style) at an event Monda...

   Here are the October 2009 stats and 2008 for comparison - 2009 5 Homes Sold Lowest price: $195,601 Highest price: $838,948 Shortest Days on Market: 0 Longest Days on Market: 246 This is two more homes than sold in September for a 66% increase month to month.   2008 2 homes sold Lowest price: $345,000 Highest price: $850,000 Shortest Days on Market: 111 Longest Days on Market: 226 Neptune Beach is a very small market, hence, smaller numbers than the neighboring towns of Atlantic & Jacksonville Beach.  You can clearly see the year to year, and month to month increases - I just posted a link to a home this week, a duplex east of 3rd Street in Neptune Beach priced below $350K - so it would seem we have reached the pricing bottom in most areas.

  Here are the September 2009 stats and August 2008 for comparison - 2009 3 Homes Sold Lowest price: $175,000 Highest price: $585,000 Shortest Days on Market: 0 Longest Days on Market: 119   2008 5 homes sold Lowest price: $225,000 Highest price: $3,300,000 Shortest Days on Market: 24 Longest Days on Market: 274 Neptune Beach is a very small market, hence, smaller numbers than the neighboring towns of Atlantic & Jacksonville Beach.  There is still good news here, even though I would have preferred to see more home sold this year over last year. For example the days on market has decreased impressively year to year, which indicates buyers are finding value and purchasing new homes.

Beaches Area 2009 statistics   Here are the August 2009 stats and August 2008 for comparison - 2009 285 Homes Sold Lowest price: $44,900 Highest price: $3,200,000 Shortest Days on Market: 0 Longest Days on Market: 1,247   2008 228 homes sold Lowest price: $40,000 Highest price: $4,200,000 Shortest Days on Market: 0 Longest Days on Market: 717 The number of homes sold year to year is up, 24%, which is terrific news for anyone involved in real estate, whether is it buying or selling.

The overall days on market have decreased; the lowest price home sold was most likely a short sale or a foreclosure which is why it moved so fast. If you are not getting showings, you are not priced correctly.  It's that simple.

If you are like anyone today, you believe there are fabulous deals in real estate, and all you have to do is FIND them. Yes, Virginia, there are deals in real estate, especially if you have cash, and a terrific credit score. Let's look at the online auction in Jacksonville, since so many buyers believe auctions are where the REAL deals are. For the date of 6/9/09, there were a total of 40 auctions schedule on the online auction site: www.duval.realforeclose.com. Of these, 21 were canceled PRIOR to the auction, either by court order, the attorney, or the plaintiff.  So, over 50% of the available auction properties were canceled. That's a fairly high percentage, and as you can imagine, if you had your eyes on one particular home that was canceled, you'd be frustrated. When will that home ...
