For January 2012, Clay County didn’t see the same positive improvements as Jacksonville did, but still more positive than in January 2011 as far as inventory levels. I was showing a house in Clay County the other day, and it was bought in April of 2011 for 198k and is now on the market, under contract, with a list price of 214k. Until it’s sold, we won’t know the exact amount it was sold for, but let’s just assume it’s at 214k. This home is NOT a short sale or distressed, because the owners paid cash. (Of course we don’t know what is going on in their life to sell it so quick) Just think, in our current market, they will end up making 16k. We haven’t seen that happen as often in the past 4 or 5 years. It will be nice to get back to a normal market, where shorts sales and foreclosures are not so prevalent.
And now for a Blast in the Past…………..
