New Construction Can Deliver Big Value for Northeast Florida Home Buyers

April 23, 2025 By Scott Sandberg Leave a Comment

Builder incentives can offer a safe haven from uncertainty around mortgage rates & pricing in general.

We live in interesting times. Especially if you’re in the market for a new home. On the upside, we’ve swung from a severe lack of inventory to a much more balanced market. But pricing has, for most part, remained high, as seller’s seek to get the most from their investments. And uncertainty around mortgage rates makes getting the home you want even more challenging.

Builders, however, have the financial wherewithal to provide some very attractive incentives to today’s home buyers. After all, builders want to get inventory off their balance sheets, so they may be willing to make some concessions that sellers of existing homes just can’t match.

Some of the incentives builders might offer include:

  • Deep reductions in pricing
  • Affordable mortgage rate buy downs
  • Flex cash to spend at the design center
  • Other options on a case by case basis

Let’s look a few northeast Florida builders and some of the incentives they’re currently offering.

David Weekley Homes

Now through April 30th, David Weekley is offering 7% off the base price of many of their homes, for savings of up to $40,000. Browse available homes for sale in some of these area communities:

Seven Pines
Granville at eTown
Crosswinds at Nocatee

Lennar Homes

Purchase a Lennar home by April 27, and you can receive a promotional FHA fixed rate as low as 4.25% (5.202% APR) and up to $15,000 toward closing costs. Browse available homes in some of these area communities:

Trailmark
Stillwater
Shearwater

Of course, other builders may be offering similar incentives. And, come May, there may be a new batch of valuable incentives being offered by area builders. So check back here to learn more about how builders can help you save in your home search, or drop us a line below:

From the Ocean to the River, and Everything In Between, NE Florida has Waterfront Property to Fit Your Lifestyle.

February 10, 2025 By Scott Sandberg Leave a Comment

Whether you’re into boating, swimming, fishing, surfing or just relaxing near the water, northeast Florida has options for you to discover.

Living on or near the water is a goal for a lot of people relocating to (or from within) Florida. But what that looks like can mean different things to different people. Some people want a beachfront home, or a condo overlooking the ocean. Others are happier on a river or lake. And there are some who may be looking for something even a little bit different from any of those options.

Fortunately, northeast Florida has a range of options designed to suit almost any lifestyle. Let’s take a look:

Oceanfront Property is Always a Draw

For some folks, only the ocean will do. And with a little more than 135 miles of coastline, Florida’s First Coast doesn’t disappoint. Here’s a sampling of oceanfront listings up and down the coast:

A River Runs Through It

One of the unique things about northeast Florida is access to the 310 mile long St. Johns River. Head north, and you’ll eventually reach the Atlantic Ocean. Go south, and you’ll reach the headwaters west of Vero Beach. So, if drifting along the river is more your thing, you’ll want to see a few of the currently available listings:

In Between is the Intracoastal

Not a river, per se, nor the ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway runs from Massachusetts past the southern tip of Florida. Here in northeast Florida, inland anglers love the brackish water, where fishing for redfish, flounder, sheepshead, drum and more are popular pastimes. Take a look at some properties along the Intracoastal Waterway.

And Now for Something Completely Different

If none of the aforementioned options are exactly what you’re looking for, consider Beachwalk in St. Johns, Florida. Anchored by the 14-acre, man-made Crystal Lagoon, Beachwalk offers residents resort-style living and amenities close to everything that Jacksonville and all of northeast Florida have to offer. From the well-maintained sugar sand beach, you can swim, kayak and paddle board, take a run down the water slide, or just head over to the swim-up bar for a drink. It’s truly a one of a kind experience in northeast Florida, and beyond. Take a look at some of the available properties:

The Difference a Year Makes in Del Webb Ponte Vedra

January 20, 2025 By Scott Sandberg Leave a Comment

A look at what’s changed from 2023 to 2024.

The housing market continues to evolve, in ways both expected and unexpected. The inventory squeeze is starting to loosen up a bit, and interest rates have inched slightly downward. Somewhat surprisingly, however, that has not led to a great influx of buyers.

In Del Webb Ponte Vedra, there are additional pressures on housing. For one, the buyer pool is limited to those aged 55 or older. And Del Webb Nocatee is right down the road, offering new construction homes and a broader, potentially more attractive list of amenities than are available in Del Webb Ponte Vedra.

So, what does that mean for actual home sales year over year? Let’s take a look:

  • 82 homes came on the market in Del Webb Ponte Vedra between Jan. 1, 2023 and Dec. 31, 2023
  • 106 homes came on the market during that same period in 2024, a nearly 29% increase

So, as expected, we did see an improvement in inventory. What we didn’t see was a major improvement in sales:

  • 84 homes closed in Del Webb Ponte Vedra between Jan. 1, 2023 and Dec. 31, 2023
  • During that same time period in 2024, just 81 homes closed, a little more than a 3% decrease

Granted, sales being just 3% off is not a bad statistic, but given how much more inventory is available, you’d think that closed sales would be a little higher.

Which brings us to another interesting statistic..days on market.

  • In 2023, the median days on market was 35
  • In 2024, that number climbed to 58, a nearly 66% increase

Lastly, we can look at absorption rate, which is the number of months it would take to sell through the available inventory at the current sales rate. This rate changes month by month, of course, but it’s somewhat illuminating to see a 2.8 month rate of absorption in Dec. of 2023 compared to 8.4 months in Dec. of 2024.

In short, the pendulum has swung much more forcefully toward a buyer’s market in 2024, and that trend looks like to continue for the foreseeable future.
