Jacksonville is Booming!!
 

It is easy to see why so many people are moving to the Jacksonville Metropolitan area each year. Jacksonville has one of the lowest overall costs of living in Florida and the U.S.
Affordable, high quality housing, ample recreational opportunities, proximity to the beach, and short commute times are just a few of the reasons why so many people choose to relocate to Jacksonville. 

At a time when companies all over the country are laying people off, many companies in Jacksonville are still growing and hiring. Our city has not seen the economic slow down that much of the nation has recently. Another interesting fact is that the average age in Jacksonville is just 35!! It's a very young, vivacious city that is on the grow. 

Jacksonville's cost of living index is below the national average, and our housing market is the fourth least expensive in the state. Between that and our year round moderate climate, Jacksonville's quality of life is FANTASTIC!

Real Estate Tips

Accepting An Offer >Offers and Counter Offers

Many of the offers real agents submit for prospective buyers aren't exactly what the sellers want. The price may be lower than they are asking or there might be terms included in the offer that will require negotiation. What happens after the offer is submitted?

The seller's real estate agent will present the offer to the sellers, along with the buyer's qualifications. If the sellers accept the offer, then a purchase agreement is written and signed by both parties. If the sellers counter the offer, the next action is initiated by the buyers when they make a response, either accepting the counter offer or countering it with yet another figure. If you want to buy a particular house, your chances of succeeding are greater if your initial offer is as close to the asking price as possible. You could save money by engaging in lengthy negotiations, but you run the risk of losing the home if a more attractive offer comes in from another buyer.
