Finding Your Dream Home Amidst The Ruins

As I am sure many of you have heard the  phrase " a diamond in the rough".  Many areas throughout the US still have thousands of homes of all shapes, sizes and values that could be your next diamond.

As a Broker working on many parts of Duval County/Jacksonville FL and the beaches, I continue to be amazed at just how many homes have been left to deteriorate, are in need of repair, or may be newer homes that were abandoned and therefore neglected.   These home range in value from the 25k to over 500k. (estimate).

As I mentioned before, Jacksonville is the largest land area/county in the US.  With most of these homes being located between the Atlantic Ocean and the St Johns River, the diversity and beauty that many of these locations can offer the right fit for most buyers seeking homes in North Florida.

If you are ready to roll up your sleeves and build that sweat equity that many of us in the industry know is key to wealth building, Jacksonville is a treasure trove for doing so. 

I invite you to do your home work, contact me via email or my mobile.  Please visit my web site 

Let us work with you to find you next home that offers great value, instant equity and a place to call home.  If you are willing to invest the time and effort, you will no doubt build your investment in Jacksonville's distressed property market.

The Mass Migration to Florida

Now that Florida has become the third most populous state in the country,  we should begin to define the insight and decision making that is driving this migration to the sunshine state.

Historically, Florida was known as a destination for retirees and those who were seeking warm weather and cheap living.

For the most part, the state has evolved in all areas.  It now employs countless educated employees who work for regional companies that include many of the fortune 1000.  It has a fantastic healthcare system, including world renowned Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville Florida. 

A vast number of rich buyers(international) have flooded the South Florida market and are now seeking investment and homeownership in all parts of the state. 

Florida has no state income tax and many of the wealthy including the likes of Tony Robins (once a California native)  now call Farida home. 

The climate is great by any standards.  The cost of living (with the exception of South Florida) is very reasonable.

Universities in Florida are nationally ranked...University of Florida, Florida Sate University.  Other smaller and private universities are sought out for specialized degrees.

Finally, Jacksonville Florida was voted one of the best cites for entrepreneurs to start a small business.  The city strongly promotes small business growth and development.

If you are thinking of relocating, by all means do your homework.  I think you will finds that any part of Florida will have a place that you can easily and happily call home

The design of the Shipyards by Shahid Khan

"...The Shipyards is a monumental, once in a lifetime opportunity to connect the city’s anchor buildings in a way that will forever change the trajectory of Jacksonville.

The design of the Shipyards project will create a compelling framework for development along the riverfront of our city – uniting, engaging and activating the district – and is a critical building block that will give this city an asset that is uniquely and distinctly ours...."

A new real estate project development for Jacksonville, Florida

Low Interest Rates, and What?

As with the situation in much of Florida and other key areas in the US, inventory continues to remain low, which appears to be driving prices up.  In the case of Florida, the five larger cites: Jacksonville , Orlando, Tampa, Ft Lauderdale and Miami have enjoyed moderate to higher than expected appreciation(for sellers) for a variety of reasons/economic data.

Focusing on much of Northeast Florida, the area which includes Duval and St Johns county has experienced dramatic new growth with some areas in St Johns county (just south of Jacksonville), experiencing some of the highest growth rates in the country for residential relocation.

Low interest rates continue to drive both purchases and refinancing.  All good news for buyers and home owners alike who are seeking to maximize value vs. debt ratios.

All indications point towards a healthy and strong year for both residential and commercial real estate values, purchases and investment in Florida and Northeast Florida in particular.
