Amazing Beau Rivage Unit 8A!

I call it "Museum of Modern Art at The Beau Rivage"! And that's just the foyer to unit 8A. The "A" units at the Beau Rivage Condos are the largest units overlooking the river towards the downtown Jacksonville skyline.

Many many times before I've touted the Beau Rivage on St Johns Avenue in historic Avondale. This listing, 8A, is the building's pièce de résistance.

If you lived here, you'd enjoy some of the most amazing views of downtown Jacksonville and the St. Johns River in this fully renovated condo. Gorgeous light wood floors in entry gallery, living room, sitting area and kitchen.

Large open kitchen with high end contemporary cabinets, granite tops, stainless appliances & flat screen TV. Gorgeous master suite with huge walk-in closet & bath with high-end cabinets, granite, & fixtures -- and all with downtown views. The unit has all new windows and doors updated to recent hurricane requirements.

The Beau is a very well run & financially stable building in the heart of historic Avondale.

Check out this stylish jewel of a listing: Beau Rivage 8A, 2970 St Johns Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida 32205. And, as always, be sure to contact Josh Nugent for any real estate inquiries you may have.

Buying & Selling in 2010

There's an old saying "statistics don't lie." Of course, there's another saying which says, "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics." Nevertheless, I would like to use statistics to prove that real estate sales in Northeast Florida are up in 2010 if the property is priced right.

In Northeast Florida there were 1,613 closed sales in June 2010, a 17.7% increase over the 1,370 closed sales in June 2009. The median sales price was $143,090, down 10.6% from last June's median of $160,000. 705 of those sales were either foreclosures or short sales, a 47.8% increase over last years figure of 477.

In Ortega, Avondale, and Riverside, there were 29 closed sales in June, a 20.8% increase over last year. The median sales price of $170,625 is down 24.6% from last year's median sales price of $226,250.

So, good news for buyers. A hard reality check for some sellers. The only thing is, I do try to point out that most sellers are buying at the same time — and with interest rates at all-time lows, they can still come out well even in current market conditions.

New Low Price on Prime Riverfront

$1,050,000 is the new low price on my listing at 3869 Timuquana Road. This property is 1.25 acres of prime riverfont in a secluded section of Venetia just past Timuquana Country Club.

Modern architectural details combined with a generous patio / pool deck and front and back yards which go on forever offer the right buyer unlimited potential.

The home is a 1950's Florida modern designed by Miami architect Gordon Severud. It was featured in a Florida home and garden magazine in 1956. For those with an eye towards Jacksonville's midcentury architecture, 3869 Timuquana Road represents a terrific opportunity for a remodel. For any buyer, the large lot in a secluded, exclusive neighborhood with wide St Johns River views is hard to beat.
