Understanding the St. Augustine Real Estate Market

There isn’t one St. Augustine housing market.

A home in Palencia is different from a home near St. Augustine Beach. World Golf Village is different from Anastasia Island. Vilano Beach is different from St. Augustine South.

A property near Matanzas Inlet may present considerations that never come up with a newer home in the 32092 or 32095 ZIP codes.

That’s why local knowledge matters.

We regularly represent buyers and sellers throughout St. Augustine, St. Johns, Ponte Vedra and surrounding Northeast Florida communities across a wide range of price points.

Our experience includes:

  • Primary residences
  • Relocation
  • New construction
  • Investment properties
  • Condominiums
  • Waterfront and coastal properties
  • Luxury homes
  • First-time homebuyers

The right strategy depends on the property, the neighborhood and the client's objectives.

Buying Coastal Real Estate in St. Augustine

Living near the water is one of the great attractions of Northeast Florida. But coastal real estate also requires additional due diligence.

Buyers may need to consider:

  • Flood zones and elevation
  • Previous storm impacts
  • Flood and homeowners’ insurance availability and cost
  • Age and type of construction
  • Drainage
  • Proximity to the ocean, Intracoastal Waterway or other waterways
  • Property history
  • Wind mitigation and other insurance considerations

I’ve spent much of my life around St. Augustine’s waterways and coastal communities.

When we represent a buyer, our job isn’t simply to open the door and point out the kitchen.

We want our buyers asking the right questions before they own the property—not discovering the questions after closing.
