Barely one year old, this gorgeous villa is close to everything that Nocatee has to offer, including Splash and Spray parks, sports courts, shopping/dining at Town Center and even Baptist Health Place and YMCA.
When you think of a condominium, you likely think of an apartment-style building, with multiple units on each floor. You might have neighbors above you, and below you, and parking can be anything from a communal garage to unassigned, uncovered parking spaces.
That type of condo is available at Tidewater. But 105 Spring Tide Way, and others, are different. While still a part of the Tidewater condominium association, 105 Spring Tide Way offers several advantages to the apartment-style condo building:
The Tidewater community itself also offers a number of advantages for homebuyers, including:
Whether you’re looking for a “lock and leave” style 2nd home, or a low-maintenance primary residence, 105 Spring Tide Way could be just what you’re looking for. For more information, or to schedule a tour, drop us a line using the form below…

Housing market stats in November look pretty solid, with a little bit of a slowdown in pending/solds, which can likely be attributed to seasonality (compare to numbers from July of this year). But, I’d like to break down these November numbers a little bit further:
With that in mind, I imagine by the end of this month, we’ll see quite a few more new construction sales, whether under contract or fully closed, based on some of the year-end builder incentives we’ve talked about here, here and here. And, there’s still time to take advantage of those incentives, whether in the form or a rate buy down, closing costs or design center options.
If you’d like to learn more about how the housing market is faring in your neighborhood, or you’d like to learn more about year-end incentives that may be available, drop us a line:

Additional training and coursework builds on nearly 20 years of experience helping adults over 50 buy and sell homes in northeast Florida.
Kim Sandberg has listed and/or sold close to 100 properties in active adult/55-plus communities throughout northeast Florida. She understands what the market has to offer in and around Jacksonville. And she’s learned quite a bit about the things that tend to be most important to buyers and sellers in active adult communities. But she wanted to expand her knowledge and skill set even more to better serve those home buyers and sellers who are 50 years old or more. So she completed the necessary coursework to become a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®).
The SRES® designation complements Kim’s on-the-job experience, allowing her to delve deeper into important issues that impact older adults, including:
If you, a parent, or someone you know is looking at their options when it comes to housing for older adults, consider some of these options in northeast Florida:

We’ve been writing about eTown for awhile now. So, as the community nears completion, we thought it was time for a little update, and a look at what some of the builders in the community have on offer as of now.
eTown’s “main street” is now home to a variety of restaurants and retailers, including Publix, Mr. Chuy, Papa Johns, Great Clips, Gate Gas and more. A brand new fire station has also opened, and The Hub, eTown’s welcome center, will soon be converted to other uses.
Newton is a gated townhome community with an its own pool & pavilion. Toll Brothers is the builder, offering 3 floor plans starting in the low $500,000s. Buyers of any of their quick move-in homes may also qualify for a rate buy down to 5.99%.
Also built by Toll Brothers, Edison East is a gated community of single-family homes and villa-style townhomes. Villas start in the low $500,000s, and single-family homes start in the high $600,000s. The rate buy down incentive also applies to quick move-in homes in Edison East.
We won’t rehash everything about Granville here, but we will point you to our post about valuable buyer incentives from David Weekley at eTown.

Being a first-time home buyer can be challenging no matter what the circumstances. But in today’s market–rising interest rates, tight inventory & uncertainty about the economy–finding a home you like and that you can afford can be a challenge. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to make the process a little easier.
Take Advantage of Year-End Builder Incentives
Here in northeast Florida, we’re fortunate to have quite bit of new construction. And as the 4th quarter rolls around, builders are looking to close out the fiscal year on a high note, which can mean some solid incentives for you.
Just a few of the options that may be available:
$10-$25k in Flex Cash – Use towards closing costs, home/design center upgrades, lot premium, etc.
Rate Buy Downs – With interest rates above 7%, some builders are offering rate buy down programs that allow you to secure a lower rate. The programs can be one-time buy downs, or a 2/1 program with means the rate may fluctuate with time. Make sure you understand the program before committing.
You might also look at a town home to start. Some communities to look at:
Other things to consider:
Assumable Loans – If you’re looking at an existing home, find out if the seller has an assumable loan at a more favorable rate. These are most commonly FHA or VA loans, and if you can make it work, assuming an FHA or VA loan at a lower rate can save you quite a bit in the long run.
Build Your Credit Score – The better your credit score, the better mortgage rate you’ll typically get. So it makes sense to do what you can to increase your score. Take a look at what credit reporting agency Experian says about building your score. And here’s a tip from a financial planner to help you reach your goal.
