Waterfront properties in hot demand
After years of rocketing sales, the housing market is beginning to finally settle down into a more stable pattern but one kind of property which is persistently bucking this trend is waterfront properties which puts Jacksonville in an unbeatable position.
With approximately 1000 people relocating to Florida each day, many people end up gravitating north. The south sees its fair share of hurricanes so many people move north for calmer weather and a waterfront property which is cheaper than their previous home. This enables them to put some money away for a rainy day.
It doesn’t matter what kind of water the property sits next to. It can be something as large as an ocean or something as small as a pond. The property in question doesn’t even need to be physically right next to the body of water - it could be several blocks away with a view of the water. Nevertheless, a buyer will always be found because there is always a buyer out there looking for a property with a water-front or water-view. The fact that these kinds of properties are also in very limited supply also adds to their appeal - and their price-tag.
Some prime examples of Jacksonville waterfront properties include of course the St Johns River (and its tributaries), the Intracoastal Waterway and miles of oceanfront.
So if you are a water-fan looking for a waterfront property, Jacksonville is the place to look. If you’re a seller with a waterfront property, you should have no problem selling it.
