In the First Coast area — that’s Duval, St. Johns, Nassau and Clay counties — there were 191 homes on the market for at least $1 million in a listing just before this newspaper’s deadline. Of those 191, 70 are on the market for over $2 million.
A lot of commission dollars are waiting. And, if you really want to move up the Top Producers list, there are two homes currently listed over $6 million and both are in Ponte Vedra.
For $6.1 million you can get a tidy oceanfront bungalow with seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The 1951-built house has 4,715 square feet: approximately one-tenth the size of a football field (at 100 yards by 53 yards, a football field is 47,700 square feet).
Financially, the house isn’t exactly a steal. Assuming you plunk down 20 percent — $1.22 million — and get a 30-year fixed rate of 6.03 percent, the monthly mortgage payment will run you $29,352.
But, the perks are great. With 300 feet of oceanfront, you can watch the sun rise every morning knowing the nearest neighbor is almost a quarter-mile away.
The house is listed with Stockton Realty Group.
