BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESERVICES FLORIDA NETWORK REALTY WELCOMES LISA MITCHELL

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty is pleased to welcome Lisa Mitchell to the St. Augustine office with locations in St. Augustine Beach and Murabella at World Golf Village.

Lisa has lived and worked for over twenty-five years in St. Augustine and is the Owner and Operator of RV Escapes LLC. Lisa’s business and entrepreneurial career began when she was fifteen and asked her father if she could work for him, as a Partner, at his boat dealership in St. Augustine. Lisa states, “Although I was not made Partner during that meeting, my dad told me it wasn’t off the table in the future if I could prove myself – so the next day I started making phone calls to other dealerships around Florida and I didn’t stop until I had a meeting with one of them to sit down with their wholesale manager. Sure enough, I landed an agreement to have the first option to buy their trade-ins! This was a big deal for my dad’s company, and within two years I was made the Executive Buyer for the dealership!”

After working at her family’s boat dealership for several years, Lisa moved to South Florida due to it being the boat capital of Florida, where she would attend auctions and boat shows – but in the end, Lisa made the move back to her true home, St. Augustine. From there, Lisa took over the trade-in sales of the boat dealership and began working more with the multitude of RVs and Travel Trailers the business took in, eventually opening her own business of RV Escapes LLC. This move from boats to RV’s helped make it click for Lisa that her passion for selling is best realized in selling real estate.

Now, as a Realtor with Florida Network Realty, Lisa’s new career allows her to take her experiences in business and passion for helping others to a new level. Lisa’s focus as a Realtor is to provide the highest quality of service to her clients while bringing a high degree of experience, knowledge and negotiation skills into each of her transactions.

“Lisa is a great addition to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty. She has a high level of commitment to helping buyers and sellers achieve their goals, and with her experience in sales and negotiation, and as an entrepreneur, we know she will shine. We are so excited to have Lisa on the team,” shares Tracy Glochau, Broker/Manager of the St. Augustine and Murabella at World Golf Village offices.

Predictions for the 2020 Residential Real Estate Market in Northeast Florida

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty says 2020 promises to be strong

 

Predicting residential real estate markets can be tricky. What appears to be a clear path today may not be quite as evident as the year progresses.

Numerous factors can affect the market over any time period, including interest rates, stock market performance, politics and world events. Industry insiders do their best to anticipate how housing markets will perform based on economic indicators and demographics.

“Given Northeast Florida’s strong economic growth and overall desirability, 2020 will be another stellar year for residential real estate,” said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty President and CEO Christy Budnick. “With attractive interest rates and a robust local economy, I am optimistic that our local market demand will remain strong.”

 

 

Consumer confidence

The foundation for a strong housing market is driven by positive consumer confidence levels. There is a high level of consumer confidence among Floridians, according to a December 2019 survey conducted by the University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research. Researchers say the outlook is positive heading into 2020, thanks in part to a strong labor market.

Election jitters

Most industries are impacted during a presidential election in some capacity, including residential real estate. Regardless of party affiliation, presidential elections can (and often do) impact market temperature across the country. The uncertainty of what’s to come, no matter who assumes office, is enough to lead to a bit of a slowdown in September and October, but it will be short lived with an increase in sales before year’s end.

Inventory challenges

The supply of homes for sale in Northeast Florida will remain low and continue to affect buyers looking for low- to mid-priced homes. The low inventory of homes for sale has led to higher prices, contributing to a seller’s market in most price points.

New construction

            New home construction will continue to be strong in Northeast Florida. With high demand, there is no reason to expect a slowdown in the near future. There are several large communities (such as Nocatee) that have room for continued growth and others, such as Seaside Vista in South Ponte Vedra, that are just getting started.

Price appreciation

Jacksonville is projected to see single-family homes increase in value in 2020. Price appreciation will remain healthy at a moderate 3 to 5 percent.

Even in the unlikely event of a recession, the housing market should remain strong. Many investors turn to real estate during a recession to avoid stock market volatility.

Home Sales

            The number and pace of home sales will remain brisk, particularly for low- to mid-priced homes.
