I am asked quite often from homesellers when the real estate market will return to "normal". First of all, there is no such thing as a normal real estate market. For those of us wishing for the frenzied market of a few years back, get over it. It's not here, nor will we likely see it in the future. But that's not to say you shouldn't get your home on the market now. The majority of real estate transactions occur due to an event in one's life such as a change in employment, birth of a child, death of a spouse, injury, illness, etc. As long as these life events occur, real estate will continue to be transacted. So yes, the market may have changed, but it's not dead. Forget about what you read or hear in the news. Jacksonville Realtors are still selling quite a number of homes...you just don't read about it in the papers. So go ahead, take the next steps and get your home ready for sale now.
