This weekend kicks off the Holiday Home Tours season in Jacksonville's historic districts. This Saturday and Sunday will be the 21st Holiday Tour of Homes in San Marco. With up to 9 stops and a luminaria, it is always a lot of fun. If you go on Sunday, I will be at one of the houses on River Road. More information can be found here
The Springfield Christmas Home Tour is the next weekend, December 9th and 10th. On the 10th, there will also be a neighborhood Springfield luminaria. You can find more information here
If you are a runner, a fun 5K is the Holiday Magic and Festival of Lights Run on December 10th. It is an evening run and the route is lit up by luminarias - a different and fun way to do a 5K.
This year marks the 28th anniversary of Riverside Avondale’s beloved Luminaria celebration. The traditional lighting of the lanterns at sundown will occur Sunday, December 18th. The ever-popular Luminaria Bike Ride will leave from City Cycle on Park Street at 6 pm near European Street. More information can be found here
Whatever your fancy, there's lots to do to kick off the holidays

April 2009 Intown Market Update
Springfield
Springfield had 2 closings in April. One was a renovation that sold for $74/sq ft and the other house is a beautiful new construciton that sold for $97/sq ft. Although this is a decrease in sales from March, it's good that things are selling that aren't in need of renovation. 15 new listings came on the market, most are homes in need of rehab. There is a total of 84 properties for sale now. This is a pretty much the same as last month - a good sign. Of the 84, 22% are distressed, a slight decrease from last month - also a good sign. 17 properties are pending in Springifeld. The most expensive property in pending is a new construction home listed at $289K.
Riverside
Riverside had 8 properties close in April. They ranged in price from $19,900 - $740,000 or $13/sf -$271/sf, with the average at $116/sf. Zero closed in January, 4 closed in February and 3 closed in March - to give a comparison. 16 new properties went on the market, making a total of 88 properties on the market. Riverside has been pretty consistent in the amount of inventory and now that sales are picking up this market will start to feel a recovery in 2009. 17% of the inventory are distressed properties, a 4% increase from March. 3 properties are pending in Riverside now, the most expensive of which is a home listed for $95,000
Avondale
Avondale had 13 properties sell in April, a 54% increase from March. The prices range from $94,500-$592,250 or $101/sf-$266/sf, with the average at $142/sf. 32 new properties came on the market, for a total of 167 properties for sale, this is a slight increase in inventory from March. The increase in sales will help Avondale if Avondale can decrease its inventory - that is the biggest hurdle Avondale has in recovery. In addition, 10% of the inventory for sale is distressed, a 9% decline from March 2009. There are 12 properties in pending, the most expensive of which is listed at $269,900.
San Marco
San Marco had 5 closings in April. Prices range from $84,900 - $475,000 or $51/sf-$218/sf with the average being $117/sf. 25 new properties went on the market, making a total of 195 properties for sale. This is a decrease in new properties, a good indication that inventory is going to level in San Marco. So keep an eye on that in the coming months. Only 6% of its present inventory are distressed properties. That is the same as March. 8 properties are pending, the most expensive of which is listed at $939,900.
Downtown
1 condominium sold in April for $118K or $153/sf It was a bank owned property. 20 new properties went on the market making the total 55. This is not good if Downtown doesn't begin to see an increase in sales. 79 properties are pending, most at the Berkman II.
Murray Hill/Lakeshore
15 properties closed in April. The prices ranged from $19,000-$128,000 or $17/sf-$125/sf, with the average being $55/sf. 48 new properties came on the market, for a total of 207 properties for sale, this is an 8% decrease in invenotry from March. 56 of them are distressed properties. 29 are in pending, the most expensive of which is listed at $229,900.

Churchwell Lofts
When I say "Churchwell Lofts," it seems people either have no idea what I am talking about or they wonder "what happened to that project?" The project has been moving forward, however the marketing has missed its mark. Of course, it didn't help that the exterior of the building was a construction zone for what seemed to be forever. If you visted the Partisan the Sea poster show, then you saw the commercial space below that is still being worked on Recently, prices have dropped making these one of the best buys intown, which is why I decided to make a post about it. No one knows about this COOL, AFFORDABLE building!
Located just off the river on Bay Street in downtown, this fabulous 21-unit historic building has everything any urbanite would love. Historic architrectural character and modern amenities include: 15' ceilings, original hardwood floors, exposed beams, tin ceilings, brick walls, and state-of-the-art kitchens and baths. There is also a rooftop terrace with a summer kitchen and grill.
There aren't many true loft spaces in Jacksonville - yet. And it seems that affordability is what is driving the lofts projects that are selling. With the price drops that Churchwell is now offering, I anticipate seeing these properties selling much quicker. Prices now range from $150,000-$498,000.
