As the summer sun takes its final bow, September steps onto the stage, bringing with it a prime chance to make your move! With the kids back in school, it's time to sharpen those pencils—and your home search skills. September is all about setting new goals, and what better goal than finding that perfect place to call home? Buyers, don’t fall behind! Sellers are making sure their homes are “A+” material, hoping to ace that sale before the season's over. It’s a time of cozy autumn strolls, open houses that feel like homecoming, and neighborhoods glowing with end-of-summer charm.
So whether you're looking for a downtown "home-room" or a suburban "playground," September offers a golden opportunity to make your real estate dreams a reality!

Market Overview by Willie Lane
|
|
August market stats are showing signs of the back-to-school doldrums. Pending and closed sales were down along with Median Sales Price for Duval County single family homes. Duval Beaches experienced an uptick in month-over-month Median Sales Price once again showing the desirability of our local beaches market in an otherwise overall dipping market. Mortgage starts have increased as we've seen mortgage rates hit a 19th month low which is a great sign for activity to come. We are in a Buyers market with a healthy amount of inventory but things may change slightly as the FED cuts rates and as more buyers become active in making offers. There are opportunities here for both Buyers and Sellers as we anticipate a busy Fall real estate market.

Mortgage Updates
The 30-Year Fixed-Rate Mortgage Lingers Just Under 6.5 Percent
|
|
Mortgage rates remained flat this week as markets await the release of the highly anticipated August jobs report. Even though rates have come down over the summer, home sales have been lackluster. On the refinance side however, homeowners who bought in recent years are taking advantage of declining mortgage rates in order to lower their monthly payments.

The Lane's are busier than ever it feels like!
Welsey and Elliott are in their new school and they absolutely love it. As parents it's bitter-sweet sending our kids off on their first day of the new school year. They are so adorable and watching them grow older before our eyes is tough but it also means back to school routines and a quieter household during the days HA!
Our princess Ellie turned 3 years old on September 1st! We celebrated her birthday doing some of the things she loves the most - jumping on trampolines. It was a unicorn themed party and she had the best time with her friends. Ellie is also doing ballet and tap dancing classes once a week and she is a STAR.
Wesley continues to be the best big brother to his siblings and a sweet boy for his teachers, calssmates and parents. He's currently doing karate once a week (Ninja training) and starts his first flag football season this week! He's super excited. We had a boys night at the JAGS/CHIEFS preason game with his best buddy Reef.
Our (not so) little Ethan man seems to grow more and more everyday. He turned 6 months old and is starting to crawl all around. The most smiley little man ever.
Marion is enjoying her last bit of materinity leave soaking in Tennis, lunches with me :) and relaxing in bed catching up on Netflix shows before life changes back to work mode.
I've been busier than ever with work over the last several months which has been great! We are welcoming new team members and have welcomed so many new awesome clients. I was able to escpae for our annual 3-day golf trip in late July. Always too much fun. Now time for the Nor'easter and hurriance swells for some much needed surf - when time permits ;)
