Pick(s) of the Week – Best Bungalow Buys!
3316 Knight Street
The first Tuesday of every month, realtors in Jacksonville’s neighborhoods of Avondale, Ortega and Riverside go look at LOTS of open houses — it’s called Neighborhood Caravan. I set out to pick a “favorite” from the caravan and write a blog about it, but after reviewing the list, I decided to write about two houses that have been on the market for a long time instead. Why? Because I think they are great deals!
The first house is at 3316 Knight Street. I suppose the reason it hasn’t sold is that it’s only got two bedrooms. But…it’s been nicely renovated with new roof, ac, appliances, kitchen, bathrooms and wood floors. It’s on a great low traffic street in Avondale, it’s got an open floorplan, two full bathrooms (which is a big plus in the Avondale bungalow market) and a very large backyard which would allow the addition of a third bedroom if one ever wanted to do that. It’s got 2br/2ba, 1568 SF and the lot is 60 x 120. Priced at $274,900, it’s at $175 per square foot. If you’re interested, please give me a call.
3914 Baltic Street
The second house is at 3914 Baltic Street in Ortega and I must say I’m surprised at why this house has not sold. I can’t say I’m a fan of the green interior paint colors the owner has selected but can this possibly be the reason people won’t buy it? It’s got a lot of space (1,900 sf), 3br’s and 2ba’s in the front part of the house and a large master suite with bath in the back part of the house. It’s got nice curb appeal and is in a great location. The lot is large at 100 x 125. Priced at only $278,900, it’s only $146 per square foot. Interested? Call me and we can go take a look.

Open House Attendance Way Up! January 31, 2010
We finished our month with a bang at our open house on Sunday afternoon in the Avondale neighborhood of Jacksonville, FL. Our listing at 1837 Ingleside Avenue was open from 2-4 pm and was VERY well attended.
Lots of people are out there looking to buy. Some do have a house to sell but we had several people come who are renting and are ready to buy. Maybe that’s what will make this market “turn”. Perhaps there’s a group of people out there who’ve been sitting on the sidelines, counting their money and are now ready to pounce one of the many good deals out there.
We’ve also received an offer on our listing on Richmond Street (also in Avondale) and we’ve had tons of showings at our condo listings at the prestigious Villa Riva.
One thing’s for sure — activity is WAY up. Will the deals follow? Follow me and you’ll be the first to know.
