The time to buy is now!!! The residential single family real estate market in Northeast Florida is beginning to flatten out at its bottom and various indicators are pointing to a slow rebound this year with more impetus occurring next year, 2009. Nationally, as well as locally, there is a huge amount of housing inventory. The marketing time for homes is well over 100 days and is closer to 6 or 9 months in many cases. Sellers have been stubbornly holding on to their originally listed prices but eventually they realize they will have to reduce their expectations to see a home sale.
Buyers new to the Northeast Florida Real Estate market will discover the market is fairly diversified. Some will want to find a home or investment in some of the historic areas, like Avondale, San Marco, Riverside, and Springfield. Both single family and multi-family properties are in high demand, either for renovation or trade-up purposes. The St.Johns River, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Ocean provide numerous opportunities for waterfront living, at a premium price, of course.
You will find many golf course communities and more being built. This is understandable as the climate allows for year-round golf and many consider Northeast Florida as a "mecca" for the sport. The "World Golf Village" developers are continuing to develop and market single family and condominium real estate, developing the land all around the tourist attraction. The flip side of the coin, however, is that many golf courses are being bought up and developed into residential homes or Mixed PUD's.
Some well known golf course communities include the Champions Club at Julington Creek, Eagle Harbor Golf Club, Hidden Hills Country Club, Magnolia Point Golf and Country Club, Golf Club at South Hampton, Golf Club at North Hampton, Cimarron, Orange Park Country Club, Jacksonville Golf and Country Club, Glen Kernan Golf and Country Club, World Golf Village with its Slammer & Squire and its King & Bear courses. Also there is Deer Creek Golf and CC, Deerwood Country Club, Marsh Landing Country Club, Queens Harbor Yacht and Country Club. Resort Golf Courses include five on Amelia Island and five in Ponte Vedra including the TPC Sawgrass courses. A new golf course and community, known as Eagle Landing, is being developed and sold currently in Oakleaf Plantation.

Northeast Florida is a large area with the focal point being Jacksonville. Interstate bypass I-295 is a corridor for traveling all around the Jacksonville perimeter. I-95 runs north to south through the heart of the city and I-10 runs west - east through the same heart, intersecting with I-95. Thus, no matter where you work and live you are able to drive on main highways and connectors. Additionally, Jacksonville has been in a period of road improvements and construction to help to move the many newly arrived residents through the city fares as the population increases.
