Cost to own

True monthly cost

What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.

Principal & interest20% down · 7.24% · 30yr$2,721
Property taxesest. at asking price, Nassau County$689
HOAbilled monthly$115
Estimated total, before insurance$3,524/mo
Seller’s 2025 tax billper the MLS — includes any CDD / assessments$6,251/yr · $521/mo
  • • Homeowners insurance is on top — in Florida it varies widely with roof age and wind/flood zone (see the Reality Check below). Budget it before you offer.
  • • In CDD communities (Nocatee, eTown, Seven Pines…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill, and the amount varies home to home — a prior owner may have prepaid the bond — so we confirm this home’s exact line rather than trust a community average.
  • • Taxes are estimated at YOUR purchase price — Florida assessments reset on sale, so the seller’s current bill is usually lower than yours will be (that applies to the reference bill above too).

Storms & insurance

Florida Reality Check

The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.

Zone X — minimal flood hazard

Flood insurance is typically not required by lenders (always optional).

Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.

Hurricane evacuation zone C

Zone C evacuates after zones A, B in an approaching storm.

Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 2023)

Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.

Sewer (public record) · Public water (record)

County records show this parcel on central sewer — no septic system to inspect or maintain.

Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).

Solar potential: ~1,703 usable sun-hours per year

A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.

Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.

Ask about this home

As of August 2026, this Reality Check is informational only — it draws on FEMA/FDEM hazard layers, Florida DOH water records, and the listing’s own fields at this property’s coordinates. None of it is a determination, survey, or inspection, and public records can lag or conflict with on-site conditions. Independently verify anything you’ll rely on: the flood zone at msc.fema.gov and floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone (and confirm flood-insurance cost with your lender and a licensed insurance agent), and the sewer/septic, roof, and utilities with a professional inspection.

Around this address

Nearby, from public data

The closest public beach, park, water access, league fields and grocery store from this home's location.

Not from the MLS. Places from FWC, FDEP, the water districts, the counties and the cities; stores from state food permits and each chain’s store list. Distances are straight-line from this home unless a drive time is shown. Fees, hours and access change, so check the agency’s page before you go.

Sun & Light

Southeast-facing backyard — winter sunrises, bright mornings

The listing reports the home facing northwest, which puts the backyard on the southeast side. Today at this address: sunrise 7:38 AM, sunset 6:41 PM.

  • The rear takes strong morning-to-midday sun and eases off by late afternoon; in winter the sun rises almost straight into this exposure.
  • A comfortable compromise lot: real sun without the western afternoon heat.

Orientation per the MLS listing; sun paths are seasonal geometry for Northeast Florida, not a shade study — trees, screening, and neighboring structures change the picture on any specific lot.

Cost to own

Taxes & assessment

2025 property taxes (current owner): $6,251/yr

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$8,300/yr

Florida’s Save Our Homes cap limits how fast the current owner’s assessment can rise — and it resets when a home sells, so a buyer’s tax bill is typically based on the purchase price, not the seller’s bill above. Estimate uses the median effective rate across 435 current Nassau listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
