I am so happy to introduce you to an exciting new community in Northern St. Johns County called Silverleaf. The location is ideal with easy access to I-95 and State Road 9B.

 

Silverleaf is situated on over 8,500 acres with over 3,500 acres of natural preserves. There will be single-family homes by Riverside Homes, Ashley Homes and Mastercraft Builder Group. Dream Finders Homes will be building single-family homes and townhomes.

 

I got to explore the community with Matt Roberts and Chris Wood of Riverside Homes. The entrance in the video is off of County Road 210 and is now open so you can come in and see the model homes being constructed in Silverleaf Village. The entrance off of State Road 16 is supposed to open late spring or early summer.

 

 

If you have an interest in being one of the first to live in Silverleaf, please contact a Davidson Realty agent for information.

New construction or existing home: 3 not-so-obvious questions

When you move to the First Coast, you have some decisions to make. Will you move to the city, suburbs or beach? Will you choose Jacksonville, St. Augustine or another nearby town? And of course, will you look for an existing home or new construction?

 

Each of these decisions comes down to personal preference, plain and simple. It’s often said newly constructed homes cost more now but may be less costly than older homes in the long term. Beyond the numbers, there are other fairly obvious differences—aesthetics, access to amenities and good schools, appliance warranties, neighborhood, and so on.

 

Here are three important but not-so-obvious questions that may help you decide:

 

Do you want more house or more yard?

While there are certainly exceptions, many existing homes tend to be on larger lots and boast less square footage inside. The average home built in 1990 barely broke 2,000 sq. ft. while homes built today average nearly 2,700 sq. ft.

Important things to consider when buying a waterfront home

Whether you are thinking of river or ocean front property, I can help you find the right home! There are several reasons to live on the water—waking up each morning to the waves crashing or ripple of the river, enjoying a beautiful sunset over dinner on your own deck, or having water recreational activities steps outside your door.

 

But there is so much more to waterfront living than relaxation and beauty. There are health benefits, too. According to the Lung Institute, areas closer to salt water offer better air quality for your lungs (learn more here). Living on the water also contributes to better sleeping habits and active lifestyle. Your home can be the vacation from your everyday stressors!

 

When choosing a waterfront home, be sure to check out the property thoroughly. Think about how you would like to use the property. What do you care about most? What are your priorities when it comes to waterfront living?  What water activities do you enjoy and what lifestyle needs do you have?

Always Bring a Realtor with You to Purchase a New Construction Home

Have you ever been to a model home? It’s one of my favorite parts of the Real Estate business. I LOVE seeing new floorplans, the incredible upgrades and features, and most of all- the decorating!

 

Everything is new- and- fresh- and- shiny and with all of the visual stimulation, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment and want to sign a contract right then and there. But don’t let the awe of a stunning model home distract you from getting the best deal possible- which would be with your Realtor present.

 

HERE’S THE THING ABOUT NEW CONSTRUCTION: THE SITE AGENT- WHILE SUPER FRIENDLY AND ACCOMMODATING- WORKS FOR THE BUILDER.

We are pleased to announce Davidson’s partnership with Habitat for Humanity of St. Augustine / St. Johns County on the housing nonprofit’s newest West St. Augustine neighborhood called Canopy Oaks.

 

The neighborhood is being developed on the former Dancy Tract off of Broach Street, between Volusia Street and St. Johns Street in the West Augustine Economic Development and Community Redevelopment Area, a few blocks north of W. King Street.

 

Davidson signed on in February 2015 to provide site planning, site design and project programming on a pro-bono basis. We worked in close concert to represent the project before the County Commission and the County’s Development Review Committee. Our development team incorporated the civil engineering efforts of Matthews Design and together, secured the necessary preliminary zoning and site plan approvals.
