The Waterfront Home Everyone Wants

by Jacksonville Real Estate Agent - Brad Officer on February 22, 2012

Waterfront real estate JacksonvilleThe Waterfront Home in Jacksonville Everyone Wants:

  1. Good Location:  Ponte Vedra, Atlantic Beach, San Marco, Mandarin, or Ortega. 
  2. Family Sized:  3000-4000 Square feet.
  3. House:  4 bedrooms, 3 baths newer home built within last 10 years OR a home that has been completely gutted and updated to today’s standards
  4. Pool with hot tub
  5. 3 car garage minimum, 4th bay would be a bonus
  6. Condition:  Near perfect or needs some TLC (nothing more than paint, carpet, new appliances, and some granite)
  7. Dock:  Deep water with a lift, and not in need of repair
  8. Price:  Under $500,000

NEWS FLASH:  Not happening.  You can find similar houses, sometimes within those areas of town for those prices, however they aren’t on the water

Are there “Deals” out there?  YES!  Absolutely.  But they usually don’t have the criteria that everyone wants.  The house may be in major disrepair, the location may not be one of the most desirable, the house may be original 1959 with not a paint brush since.  That’s usually what makes it a deal…..because it’s hard to sell at retail price.  A seller’s financial condition may mean you can pick up a home for a little less than market value, but half price?  No.  Home Owners with great houses who hit a financial problem and become forced to sell, will sell at a discount in order to move the property fast but don’t expect half price. 

Based on most of those criteria above, here is a list of homes currently for sale (updated daily):
