Davidson Realty reports that residential real estate sales were at an all-time high in January at the World Golf Village.
According to company president Sherry Davidson, the total sales volume for the month was more than $7.8 million.
There are currently 204 homes under construction at World Golf Village and that number will soon increase. Last month, the community’s developer, Davidson Development Inc., announced that planning is underway on Heritage Landing at World Golf Village. Located west of the King & Bear golf course at the intersection of the William Bartram Scenic Highway (SR 13) and SR 16, this family-oriented community will feature 1,160 homesites with homes priced from the $140s to the low $300s.
About 60 percent of the homesites in Phase I of Heritage Landing have already been sold to area builders and Davidson Realty is receiving inquiries about the new community on a daily basis from other builders and prospective homeowners.
Davidson Realty also announced that the company is already taking backup reservations for its newest neighborhood, Lakewood. Only two of the neighborhood’s homesites are still available. Priced from the high $70s, the area is just beyond The Estates of World Golf Village.
