Time for another property values post…as always, I’m taking my cue from The New York Times Property Values section, but taking a closer look at what homebuyer’s can get in the Jacksonville/Northeast Florida area.
I have to admit, I really like both the Key West property in this week’s NY Times piece, as well as the Beacon Street condo in Boston. But as much as I like both of those areas, I’m pretty impressed with the properties you can find in and around Jacksonville for the same price. Let’s take a look…
