Tomorrow is the big race day here in Jacksonville & the beaches - it's the annual 26.2 with Donna End Breast Cancer half and full marathons!
There will be road closures, and detours, and everyone is prepared; watching the preparations is interesting: there are cars from the auto sponser dotting one main course, J. Turner Butler (which us locals call JTB), and portable faciliites set up.
The race starts at 6:30am and everyone should be in from the course by 2pm. Here's the link to the race route, so you can plan appropriately.
Congrats to all the runners, and dress warm; we are going to have cold temps in the AM!

Once again, great news that we are not hearing from the local media! Home sales are up year over year and month over month (impressively, I add!); prices are up (modestly, but still up and days on market are down.
The great thing about Jacksonville Beach, however, when compared to Atlantic & Neptune Beach is that we are the largest of the beaches communities, with more public parking than our northern neighbors.
Properly priced and properly presented properties are STILL selling – currently, the Jacksonville area has about 7.75 months of inventory (single family homes only)right now and homes can and do sell in very few days on market. Jacksonville Beach is currently at 5.19 months of homes for sale.
If you are ready to list your condo, call me for a comparable market analysis to see what price range you should list in, and to learn more about what sets myself and Prudential Network Realty apart from the competition. Our sales in our Atlantic Beach office are up 16% this year so far, so we know how to sell condos.
If you or someone you know is considering a short sale, please have them contact me for a no-obligation confidential interview about their current situation and how best for them to move forward. I hold the Certified Distressed Property Expert, and am one of a mere 18,000 who do so – I can help salvage their credit, and their financial future.

Sales are flat month over month, as well as year over year. Pricing looks like a ping pong ball, mainly due to Neptune Beach being the smallest of the beaches communities, and having greater pricing stability. Days on market reflects slight improvement at the lower price point. And, being the smallest community, there is obviously less oceanfront inventory.
Properly priced and properly presented properties are STILL selling – currently, the Jacksonville area has 7.75 months of inventory (single family housing supply), which is not the highest figure of the year. Neptune Beach has 6.57 (down from 24.5 in October 2011) months of inventory as I write this post. This is really due to the decrease in sales, and most likely nothing more than that (as in, don’t worry).
If you are ready to list your home, call me for a comparable market analysis to see what price range you should list in, and to learn more about what sets myself and Prudential Network Realty apart from the competition. Our home sales in our Atlantic Beach office are up 26% comparing 2010 to 2009, so we know how to sell homes.

Sales are up impressively, consistent with Jacksonville Beach. Pricing does not show much positive variation, but Atlantic Beach has quite a bit of difference between home locations, and the lower price points are most likely in less desirable areas. Days on market is fairly flat; I’m impressed with the decrease in the longest days on market.
Atlantic Beach is the northernmost of our beaches communities here in the Jacksonville Beaches area, and many residents enjoy the pedestrian feel of the town, with Town Center’s restaurants and shops so close by.

I am in a hotel room in Cary, NC (more on that in a future post) watching CNN this morning, and they are at the Beach Hut Cafe in Jacksonville Beach, FL! This fabulous place is close to where I live, and is a great locals kind of place....
The primary debate was at UNF last night, and I'm sure the whole town is just buzzing with excitement - hope everyone got a chance to watch, but of course, you can certainly google it at your leisure!
