The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) market review continues to show the median sales price of $360,000 consistent with last month. It was 8.2% higher than last year.

 

There were 2,442 closed sales, which is up 23.5% from last month and down 15.8% from last year. These numbers are affected by the volatile mortgage rates. The average rate on a 30-year mortgage had remained below 7% since early December and began rising in February. According to Freddie Mac, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage rose to 7.1% from 6.88% last week, the highest level since late November. Properties that went under contract in late December, January or early February closed in March.

Top 6 Outdoor Activities in St. Johns

Posted by in News

Overwhelmed by the beauty that Northeast Florida has to offer? We’ve made you a list of what we believe to be some of the best ways to experience the outdoors, with options spanning across St. Johns County:

 

Kayak

First up, kayaking! This activity is family-friendly and great for all skill levels. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro, taking a guided kayaking tour through the waterways of St. Augustine can be a blast. Immerse yourself in the history of downtown while paddling along the bayfront, or float through a freshwater creek surrounded by Florida’s wildlife. Think you’re ready to embark on your own adventure? Rent a kayak for the day, and explore the area on your time! Checkout Kayaking St. Augustine for more information on boat guided tours and kayak rentals.

 

Paddle Boarding

On that same wavelength: Paddleboard through Anastasia State Park! While some consider paddleboarding to be slightly more difficult than other water-based activities, it is still absolutely beginner friendly. In fact, Anastasia Watersports shares that, “No experience is necessary to enjoy this fun and popular activity.” So, what are you waiting for? Glide through breathtaking scenery of Salt Run and maybe even pass a Floridian critter or two like dolphins and osprey, all while improving your balance, of course! Take a look at the Anastasia Watersports website to explore your different paddle boarding options.
