Strong Start to 2010 for Northeast Florida Real Estate
The real estate market has been less than stellar in the past couple of years, but a fresh start in 2010 appears to be reflecting a turn around. Recent trends are showing improvement in the market, and The Neighborhoods of World Golf Village is showing further support of change by starting the year with new construction. Predicting a better 2010 for northern St. Johns County real estate, the first quarter brings many new homes to World Golf Village, including new custom homes in The Crest, a new spec home by Providence Homes in GroveWood, four new multi-unit buildings in Laterra Links and new construction in Cascades, an active adult retirement community.
- The Crest has two St. Augustine custom homes under construction. It is one of the exclusive neighborhoods of The Estates and prices start at $600,000. Homesites are generously sized, shaded with ancient oaks and pines and ideally situated near the King & Bear Clubhouse and the Swim & Tennis Center.
- Expected to be complete in February 2010 is the new spec home from Providence Homes in GroveWood at The Neighborhoods of World Golf Village. The 2,559-square-foot home will have 4 bedrooms and three baths and is priced in the mid-$300,000′s. GroveWood is a family oriented community.
- Laterra Links is breaking ground on new multi-unit buildings, each with 4 upscale coach homes of 2,100 to 2,700 square feet.
- The Cascades, the active adult retirement community at World Golf Village, is under the new ownership of Dockstreet Communities and predicting growth in 2010. The ground breaking of six new models are in walking distance of Cascade’s clubhouse and amenities.
The Neighborhoods of World Golf Village is reflecting the real estate market recovery. Upward trends are encouraging price stability and great values available are helping to increase transactions. Also playing a part in the market recovery is the availability of low interest rates and, in some cases, the Federal homeowners incentives.

It is so nice to see construction activity again. There are great deals on lots in many communities right now and the cost of construction is lower than it has been in years. It is a great time to pick a lot and build the custom house of your dreams.
