Residential and Commercial Real Estate Brokerage Jameson Real Estate Celebrates 5th Anniversary with 400 Percent Growth in Sales Volume Since 2008

Monday, December 2nd, 2013


CHICAGO, Illinois (PRWEB) November 06, 2013

Leading residential and commercial real estate brokerage firm Jameson Real Estate, comprised of Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty and Jameson Commercial, announced today that the firms sales volume has grown by 400 percent since 2008. The firm is also on pace to have a record-setting 2013, topping its $ 1 billion in sales volume in 2012.

When Charley and Harry Huzenis invited Mike Sato and me to join the Jameson team five years ago, we were honored for the opportunity to build upon the firms 25-year-old reputation of integrity, innovation and results, said Chris Feurer, chief executive officer at Jameson. For this partnership to result in such exponential growth, despite enduring our generations worst recession, is testament to the tenacity of our leadership, our agents and our staff.

Over the past several months, Jameson has continued to hire top-performing residential and commercial agents, increased marketing staff and grown its technology and infrastructure platforms.

Jamesons sales volume for 2013 is expected to exceed $ 1.3 billion, said Mike Sato, president at Jameson. With 75 percent of our business in residential and 25 percent in commercial brokerage, our firm has a unique position in the Chicago market. We understand whats required to meet this current level of market growth and Jamesons increasing market share, but we dont want to just meet it, we want to exceed it. But if you dont give your agents the necessary tools, its unsustainable.

In October, the residential and commercial real estate brokerage launched a new marketing program to deliver tailored information to consumers based upon demographics, sophistication and neighborhood, through a variety of customizable digital and offline communication vehicles. Because our agents live in the neighborhoods they serve, they truly know their clients lifestyles, needs and goals. An off-the-shelf approach contradicts the Jameson philosophy which recognizes each client, and every transaction, as unique, said Feurer.

The messaging carried throughout the communications program is Expect the Exceptional, illustrating Jamesons exceptional qualities, service and brand. Our clients have come to expect the exceptional, because thats exactly what we deliver. This mantra applies to every aspect of our firm, in the way we communicate, service and sell, said Feurer.

For the more tech-savvy client, weve launched a social media program that delivers timely information to keep clients up-to-date on things that matter to them. In addition to dedicating staff to support this program, were also leveraging the best technology, allowing our agents to select what, when and how they share that information with just one click, said Feurer.

In addition to social media, agents can choose from print and online advertising, branded client gifts and direct mail campaigns. Feurer added, The entire program is customizable, scalable and measurable. And as our clients continually evolve, so will our approach.

Jameson has also enhanced its inbound messaging by establishing a flexible website platform along with robust language and currency translation. Feurer said, Through our Sothebys partnership, were able to deliver our localized expertise on a global scale. Were reaching clients in almost 50 countries, so our searchable database needs to offer that access from anywhere in the world. And because more than 50 percent of visitors view our site in a language other than English, its critical that our website truly communicates with each visitor.

Sato said, This is not a simple website redesign. Weve established a forward-looking plan to ensure that we always have the most current technologies in place. He added, That includes making our agents websites truly customizable, empowering them to tailor the content, not just the contact information.

Jameson Sothebys International Realty currently has more than 250 agents with expertise in Chicago and the North Shore. With nearly 50 agents focusing exclusively in Chicago, Jameson Commercial holds a strong presence in the downtown and Lincoln Park markets. Both the residential and commercial real estate brokerage arms are headquartered in Chicago.

Feurer added, The reason Jameson has been able to not just survive, but actually thrive, over the past several years, is that our team focused on our collective strengths and continued to nurture client relationships even when there was little activity in the market. This commitment and professionalism truly sets us apart from other firms, and is the reason why were looking toward an exciting future serving our clients.

Miami Home Sales Increased 21.2% in Q3 of 2013 Increased Demand for Homes and Condos while Median Prices Soared by Double Digits

Friday, November 29th, 2013


Miami, FL (PRWEB) November 06, 2013

Following record breaking sales activity for nearly three years, the Miami real estate market saw unprecedented growth in the third quarter of 2013 as demand for local real estate and limited supply continue to fuel double-digit growth in prices, according to the 30,000-member MIAMI Association of REALTORS and the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) systems.

Sales, Listings of Homes and Condos Grew

There were 8,027 homes and condos sold in Miami-Dade County during the third quarter of 2013. This represented a significant 21.2% and 8.7% increase in the sales of homes and condos, respectively, compared with the same period in 2012.

The growth in home sales was driven by a remarkable 89.5% increase in home sales $ 250,000 to $ 299,999 and a 67.7% growth in sales $ 600,000 to $ 999,999 when compared to the same time in 2012. Meanwhile, condo sales were driven by the 50.8% growth in condo sales $ 250,000 to $ 299,999 and a similar surge of 46.9% in condos $ 400,000 – $ 599,999 relative to the third quarter of last year.

The surge in sales of Miami homes and condos is driven by a robust demand for real estate from international buyers from worldwide markets and large numbers of U. S. buyers from other states, said 2013 Chairman of the Board of the MIAMI Association of REALTORS Natascha Tello. The third quarter statistics reflect a significant strengthening of our local real estate market with more homes being sold faster than last year.

Nationally, total existing-home sales, including single-family and condos, rose 5.9 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.36 million in the third quarter from 5.06 million in the second quarter, and were 13 percent above the 4.74 million pace during the third quarter of 2012, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Statewide closed sales of existing single-family homes totaled 60,661 in the third quarter, up 17.3 percent compared to the year-ago figure, according to the latest housing data release by Florida Realtors. Closed sales of condominiums totaled 27,200, up 11.3 percent compared to 2012.

The Miami Associations initiatives to increase inventory and focus on assisting members to get more listings has made progress along with some additional distressed properties coming on the market. Home and condo listings also grew by double digits in the third quarter. There were 5,937 new single-family home listings during Q3, a growth of 15.3% relative to the same period last year. Meanwhile, new condo listings were stronger with an increase of 20.5% from 6,872 in Q3 2012 to 8,282 this year.

Median and Average Sales Prices Continue to Rise

In the third quarter, the median sales price for homes in Miami-Dade County was $ 230,000, an increase of 21.3% compared to last year and 12% relative to the previous quarter. The median sales price for condos rose 26.6% to $ 183,600 in the third quarter compared to the second quarter of 2013. Third quarter price increases mark seven (7) quarters of increases for both single-family homes and condominiums.

In addition, compared to last year, the average sales prices for single-family homes and condominiums increased 8.1% to $ 381,517 and 19.3% to $ 329,418, respectively.

Despite more new listings coming on the market, supply remains tight, particularly for properties in lower price points, for current level of demand for Miami properties, said 2013 MIAMI Association of REALTORS Residential President Fernando I. Martinez. Robust sales will continue to drive price appreciation in the Miami market.

Nationally, the median sales price of existing single-family homes was $ 207,300 in the third quarter, up 12.5 percent from the third quarter of 2012. The national median sales price for condominiums was $ 205,400, a 15.1 percent increase over the previous year.

The statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes in the third quarter was $ 175,000, up 18.6 percent from the same quarter a year ago. The median sales price for condominiums in Florida was up 23.8 percent compared to the same quarter last year at $ 130,000.

Percentage of Cash Sales Declines

In the third quarter, 59.3 percent of closed sales were all cash compared to 63.3 percent a year ago. All cash sales were 45 percent of single-family home closings and 71 percent of all condominium sales. Since nearly 90 percent of foreign buyers pay cash, this reflects Miamis position as a top market for foreign buyers. Miami has a significant percentage of international buyers, generating many more cash transactions than the national average.

Home Inventory Moving Rapidly Despite More New Listings

Homes were sold much faster during the third quarter of 2013 compared to the previous year. The median duration of a home listing during the last quarter was 37 days compared to 43 days during the same period last year, a significant decrease of 14%. Meanwhile, condo listing durations were comparable to 2012 figures at a median of 46 days compared to 43 last year.

Total third quarter active listings in Miami-Dade County totaled 14,273, representing an increase of 14.2 percent. At the current sales pace, this reflects 4.9 months of inventory for single-family homes and 6.3 for condominiums. Months supply of inventory declined 12.5 percent for single-family homes and increased 11 percent for condominiums compared to the third quarter of 2012.
