February 16, 2026 By Scott Sandberg Leave a Comment

Take a look at how far $500k goes in Nocatee.

Once again with a nod to the New York Times’ “What You Get” column, we’re going to take a look at how far your housing dollars go here in northeast Florida. This time, though, we’ll go a little off script and limit our focus to one large community (Nocatee) and limit our price point to around $500,000.

New Florida Homeowner? File for Homestead Exemption Before March 1, 2026.

February 10, 2026 By Scott Sandberg Leave a Comment

File for Your Homestead Exemption Before March 1, 2026 & Save on Your Property Taxes!

If you bought a home in Florida in 2025, you likely qualify for a homestead exemption of up to $50,000. That means your property tax will be based on your home’s assessed value, minus the amount of your exemption (up to $50,000). That can mean big savings.

Of course, you must meet certain criteria set forth by the state of Florida, but most homeowners who can count their Florida home as their primary residence as of January 1, 2026 will qualify.

The Difference a Year Makes: Nocatee Housing Market Stats – January 2025 vs. January 2026

February 1, 2026 By Scott Sandberg Leave a Comment

A few key stats from January, 2025 vs. January, 2026 in Nocatee.

New Listings Were Up 36%
This January, Nocatee posted 113 new listings* versus just 86 last January.
*Coming soon listings cannot be shown

Number of Homes Closed was Flat
Last month, 40 homes closed in Nocatee versus 41 in January, 2025

A Few Other Key Stats

Median Sales Price Was Up 32% in January, 2026 versus January 2025

Days on Market Increased Nearly 16%

Unsold Listings (Withdrawn, Cancelled, Expired) Dropped 26%

A little something for everybody in these stats. Pricing remains strong, which is good news for buyers, while inventory is creeping up…that’s good news for sellers. And an increase in days on market may signal a return to a more balanced market. Have a neighborhood in northeast Florida you’d like to know more about? Let us know:
