Jacksonville Homes Sold 2009 Year To Date

I wanted to share the 2008 January - April 2008 statistics with the same time period in 2009. This is for all of Jacksonville, not just one market area, so the data is a better indicator of overall market movement.

2008

  • January 10
  • February 7
  • March 12
  • April 7
  • TOTAL 36

2009

  • January 13
  • February 13
  • March 14
  • April 11
  • TOTAL 51

This represents a 42% increase in sales comparing January-April 2008 to January-April 2009 - which is incredible. If you are in the market to sell your house, please consider how you will need to stage, present and price your home to make it stand out against the competition. I can provide you with a market analysis to help guide you.

If you are ready to buy, please contact me so we can get the pre-approval process started.
