Eagle Harbor Market Report | February 2012

Inventory of Eagle Harbor homes for sale continues to be down from the past few years, and sales were down 50% in 2012 over 2011. Here is a breakdown of the Sold activity for February 2012. February is historically still one of the slower months of the year for closed sales.

Actives (as of March 11) 75
4 Foreclosures
14 Short Sales

Sold 2
1 Foreclosure
1 Short Sale

The two sales were - $250,000 for a 2500 sq. ft. short sale in Waterford Landing, one of the first custom home communities in Eagle Harbor, near the Swim Park. This house sold for 78% of original List Price, which was $319,000.

The other sale was for $194,900 for a 2,314 sq. ft. home in Eagle Watch. This home was a Foreclosure and sold for 98% of original list price, which was $198,900.

Inventory in Eagle Harbor is down from levels of 84 in March 2010 and 99 in August 2010.

If you subtract the houses that are "Active Contingent" then there are only 70 Active Listings. This decline in Listings, combined with increased Buyer demand, could signal rising prices in Eagle Harbor this Spring.

Are we experiencing a Real Estate Recovery? The determining factor in this will be the number of distressed properties competing with regular sales.

2600 Woodgrove Rd | Under Contract | Eagle Harbor Fleming Island FL 32003

2600 Woodgrove Rd, a magnificent Eagle Harbor custom pool home for sale with upgrades galore is under contract for a second time, and we are very happy for the Buyers and their real estate agent. This property was so much in demand that it had multiple offers back in December when it went under contract the first time, and then back up offers waiting when the first contract fell through due to financing.

This luxurious home has a Game Room off the Family Room, a very large Summer Kitchen and Outdoor Fireplace just off the Game Room. The Pool and Spa are screen enclosed with a Lanai wrapping around the back of the house. Inside, there is a Study/Living Room with French Doors, Formal Dining Room, Kitchen with Granite Counters and Stainless Appliances, Master Bath with Granite Counters, Spa Shower and Upgraded Tile Work. The Family Room overlooks the Pool Area, and there are hardwood wide plank floors in the entire house except Bedrooms. An upstairs Bedroom Suite overlooks the lovely Preserve Lot yard complete with Gazebo.

We just wish we had more homes like 2600 Woodgrove Rd in Eagle Harbor, because we had more Buyers than houses. If you are thinking of selling your Eagle Harbor home, then call us at 904-673-2308 or email sharon@teamalters.com.

Eagle Harbor Hail Damage

If you live in Eagle Harbor, you probably have noticed roofing trucks at various houses and received flyers in your mail box alerting you to the fact that there was a hail storm last summer and your roof may have damage. You have also probably seen some roofs being replaced.

Here is a photo of a roofer on our roof last week examining all sides to assess whether or not we had hail damage.

If you have someone look at your roof, be sure that it is a company that you know and respect. Get references and get a second opinion. The first person who looked at our roof said we didn't have any damage. The guy who looked at it last week said we had damage on all four sides. The first person we didn't know. The guy last week we have done business with and they have an excellent reputation.

Do your homework, and if you do get a new roof because of hail damage in Eagle Harbor last summer, you have to get ARB approval if you change anything from the original roof.
