Why do I need to talk to a lender before I go looking for homes for sale in Fleming Island? That's a great question buyers ask, especially first time home buyers. Here are few reasons: By getting pre-approve before searching for a home in Fleming Island, you will know how much you can afford, what loan you're gonna do, how much you need for closing costs and down payment, plus how much your payments will be. Skipping the pre-approval part before searching for homes, can cause you to walk away with a broken heart. You find that perfect house at x amount of dollars, then go talk to a lender, only to find out you qualify for 50k less. It really takes the wind out of your sails. You will always be comparing the homes you look to your dream home and that could make you want to quit looking a...

I'm upside down in my Fleming Island Florida home, but want to move up to a bigger home, what can I do? This post is actually inspired by a friend of mine whose situation I'm about to describe minus anything that would give away their identity. She finds herself in the situation of wanting to sell her home, but at the current market, is upside down. They want a bigger house and is no longer happy with the location. They don't want to let the house foreclose or do a short sale. They would like to keep their credit in good standing. Anyone else find themselves in a similar situation? What I suggest below, some of you may or may not agree with and that's okay! Tell me your opinion, it could very well help someone else out, by giving us another angle to look at. This blog post is about comi...

Eagle Harbor Market Report November 2012 Below are the homes in Eagle Harbor that have sold in the month of November 2012.  The chart below the addresses, shows the active and sold homes in Eagle Harbor, along with months inventory, days on the market and sales price to original list price ratio. You always want to know sales price to ORIGINAL list price, not sales price to list price. The original list price means, the price the house was when that agency first listed it. In the case of sales price to list price, the list price represents the price the house was listed at, when the house went under contract. So see, how the two numbers are totally different and SP vs LP does NOT paint an accurate picture. Looking at the months inventory of 6.44, it’s showing that Eagle Harbor has went ...
