There are great deals of different price range levels throughout Jacksonville. The middle class and luxury inventory have both experienced lower price averages than normal. Throughout the fall, these numbers have stayed mostly steady. Even though the Jacksonville market isn’t thriving, the steady market is still home to many appealing properties.

Throughout the fall and into the winter, houses are spending less time on the market. Right now the average house is only on the market for about 180 days. Even though the number is a bit high, it should drop by the end of the year or early 2012. There’s excellent availability as far as inventory as well as great service from online resources.

One of the most important aspects is the fact that Jacksonville is a great city with some outstanding activities and areas to live. The area is home to excellent restaurants and nightlife, including places like the Landing. The fall and winter are great as sports events light up the town such as the Jaguars games and the yearly game between Florida and Georgia. There are also tons of opportunities to play golf and hit the beach.

For first time movers to the Jacksonville area, it could be the perfect time to invest in a new home. The excellent deals throughout the area continue to highlight why choosing to invest in a home would be smarter than looking at Jacksonville apartments right now. Whether you’re looking to rent out your property or simply want to be a home owner to increase space and value, Jacksonville is an excellent home destination.

As with most of the areas around Jacksonville, Florida we seem to include outlying areas from other counties are part of our own. Orange Park and Middleburg is a prime example as they are both part of Clay County but many of their residents work in the Jacksonville are and they are seen as sort of suburbs of Jacksonville by most residents. To that end we will be adding them to this blog soon.

In the mean time enjoy some of the pictures we have taken of those areas below:
