How Many Homes Are For Sale In Jacksonville, FL?
As of this very moment there are 6,039 houses, condos and townhomes listed for sale in the Northeast Florida MLS. Those numbers can be deceiving though; many of the houses are either in the process of being built to sell, or will be built upon request.

Hurricane season begins on June 1st and goes all the way through November. If you're new to Florida, that thought can be unsettling. My advice? Prepare, don't panic. Here's a checklist to help you.

Buying A Home? What Your Realtor® Can't Tell You And How To Find Out Anyway
Buying a home can be overwhelming and many Buyers look to their Realtor® to provide information not only about homes they are interested in but also about the community, residents, schools, etc. While a good Realtor will be able to direct you to reliable sources for that information, he may break the law if he answers some of the questions himself.
