The first legally sanctioned free Black settlement in America is 15 minutes from downtown St. Augustine. πŸ›οΈ

Fort Mose (est. 1738): enslaved people escaped the British Carolinas and risked everything to reach Spanish Florida, where freedom was granted at St. Augustine. The community at Mose became the first legally recognized free Black settlement on the continent. Today: free grounds (9-5 daily), the Flight to Freedom trail, a marsh boardwalk, birding, kayak launch; museum $2 (Thu-Mon); first-Saturday militia reenactments.

Maybe the most important 40 acres in Florida.

Seven houses sold for over $11 million in Ponte Vedra Beach this summer.
Every one of them on the same road.

That's the Ponte Vedra everybody knows about. Oceanfront on the Boulevard
runs north of $2,000 a foot. One of those sales hit $4,557.

Here's what nobody posts about.

Eighteen houses sold under $1.1 million here that same summer. Median was
$982,500 for 2,724 square feet. Thirty days on market. That's $360 a foot,
not $4,557.

One of them was $995,000 for 3,534 square feet, about two miles inland.

And the part out-of-state buyers never believe: no CDD on a single one of
those eighteen. HOA ran anywhere from nothing to $297 a month.

I hear "we love Ponte Vedra but it's out of our range" every week. Usually
it isn't true. People see the Boulevard, do the math on the wrong half of
town, and cross us off the list before they ever look.

There are two Ponte Vedra Beaches. Most people only ever hear about one.

Comment PRICE and I'll send you every pool home in Ponte Vedra under
$2 million. All 13 of them, live off the MLS.

Movers brought $4.54 BILLION more income into St. Johns County than leavers took out. πŸ’°

That's from an analysis of IRS tax-return data, 2019-2023 (Miami Association of Realtors). When families move, their reported income moves with them, and ours surged every single year, topping $1B in new net income in 2020 alone. It's the engine behind the new schools, sold-out communities, and record home sales.

If you've wondered why everything's growing at once, this is why.

Comment LOCAL and I'll send you my family guide to Ponte Vedra Beach.

People ask what's so great about living here. It's not just the golf. It's a beach with free parking, a boat ramp five minutes away, and Millie's giving the kids free ice cream every Wednesday.

Ryan and his wife Jordan bought their first home, got married, had a baby, and opened a business, all within a 12 month period.

What he wrote in his review wasn't about the house. It was that I called back right away and met them that same evening. When everything else in your life is moving that fast, you need one thing that isn't a headache.

Congrats to Ryan & Jordan.

$34M of new dunes are coming to 5.5 miles of Flagler's coast. 🌊

After Hurricanes Ian and Nicole (2022) tore up the shoreline, Flagler County built a five-phase rebuild plan. Phase 1 is done; commissioners just unanimously approved Phase 2: a $34M contract covering Painters Hill, Beverly Beach, and northern Flagler Beach. ~1.5 million cubic yards of sand, rebuilt dunes, native plantings. ~70% state-funded plus FEMA. Construction starts November, running 4-6 months.

A promise kept to that coastline.
