Your Comprehensive St. Augustine Homeowners Resource Guide

May 9, 2018/in Homeowner Resources, St. Augustine/by aaron

Thinking of moving to the St. Augustine, Florida area? This southeastern coastal town is the nation’s oldest. When you move to St. Augustine you will experience a taste of history, cultures, and the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean. This area is well known for its tourist attractions, yet people do make St. Augustine their permanent residence. With a population of 14,280, St. Augustine has a small town feel to it that is inviting.

In order to make your move to a new town flow more smoothly, we’ve put together a real estate and homeowner resources guide.

Real estate market

Zillow predicts that home values should increase by 2.1 % in the upcoming year. That’s a few percentage points less than the increase from last year, which was at 4.5 %. The median value of a home in this area is $234,500, and the median price is sitting at $299,900 – $325,000.
