GOOD NEWS IN THE JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA REAL ESTATE MARKET HIGHLIGHT #4
According to Forbes.com 2008:
Job Growth Is Anticipated in the Jacksonville Area for 2008!
Coming in at #26 in the Forbes 100 Best Cities for Jobs in 2008 is Jacksonville, Florida. Jacksonville actually ranked number 19 among the 100 markets in private sector job growth. The Greater Jacksonville Metro Area had 561,700 private-sector jobs and an unemployment rate of 3.8% in June of 2007 (Jacksonville Business Journal, Sept. 2007).
Furthermore, Mark Basch (UNF Economic Indicator Project, 01/17/2007), said that "Area inflation...less than rest of nation... Inflation jumped higher in the Jacksonville area in 2007, but it was still better than the rest of the country."
Susan and I are intent on providing the POSITIVE side of area news in an effort to counter much of the negative spin that many in the mainstream media seem to thrive on. We understand the concept that 'bad news' sells but we just refuse to ride that wave, if you will!
If you prefer the company of people with more of a "can do" attitude and approach to life and are looking to buy or sell real estate, give us a call for a free, no obligation, consultation. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!
Don't let the mainstream media get you down. We're not!

Tim,
Every time I read your posts about JAX, it makes me want to jump in the car and check it out! Sounds like you are on the verge of an economic boom!
Come on down, Richard... we are very excited about what is going on in our area and truly believe it is poised very favorably on the real estate front. We are just so sick and tired of all the doom and gloom talk coming from the media and want to do our part to counter it!
My guess is that the real estate outlook for most cities (especially in the sunbelt) is MUCH BETTER than the media is portraying it to be. During the 'boom years' the media kept telling everyone that armageddon was coming... self-fullfilling prophecies???? Well, darn-it, the market definitely needed 'adjusting' but that adjustment doesn't mean the sky is falling... it is merely the nature of the free market system.
From where I am sitting, THE SKY IS STILL BRIGHT, BLUE AND BEAUTIFUL! She ain't falling on my world! LOL
