The economy has hit downtown Jacksonville, Florida's luxury highrise condominium, The Plaza, hard. The Plaza, at Berkman Plaza and Marina sold 2 bedroom condos on the St John's river with gorgeous river views for over 400,000 2 years ago. Today you can find one for 175,000. The building is like a resort with every amentity you can imagine. There is a 24 hour concierge, a full gym with sauna, steam bath, and whirlpool, a business center, a library, a heated pool, a putting green, tennis courts, squash courts, concierge lounge, guest suite, a coffee bar, and a marina. It is like living in a virtual resort. It is definitley the time to buy - a great opportunity to be able to own riverfront property.


Ms. or Mr.Buyer, in this market, you know it can take 45 to 60 days to close on a home. So let's work backwards from the November 30 deadline for the $8000 tax credit. You’ll want to have an accepted offer no later than mid-October. That leaves us only a handful of weekends to get you preapproved by a mortgage lender and find the right first home for you. Let's get started today!!! Call me!!!!
If you are, or if you know someone who might be a first time home buyer - now is the the time buy. Please contact me and let's find the house for you.
In todays market, we all know that price and condition sells houses. I was interested in an article I read on which rehabs recouped the most money. I was surprised. In the south Atlantic states - 86.6% of costs were recouped at the sale with the addition of a deck - surprise - surprise - i was expecting it to be the kitchen!! Of course the kitchen was not far behind but it was still behind replacement of siding. I thought this was very informative so I put a button on my website for everyone to click which will take you to all the results. Just go to JacksonvilleHomeConnection.com and look for the link along the left side of the home page.
Did you know that nationally 1 in 54 housing units filed for foreclosure? In Nevada that number changes to 1 in 14 and here in Florida it changes to 1 in 22. As I look down a street in a neighborhood, with these numbers in mind, one of the homes is probably in distress. This market is shifting and we are being forced to shift with it.
Make JacksonvilleHomeConnection.com a favorite and then with one click will have Jacksonville links at your fingertips. Whether you want to see where to dine, where the closest marina is, what movie is playing, where to sign you child up for soccer - you name it and the link is there - if you know a link you would like to see there - let me know.
