Gary Farnsworth's Real Estate Update - Summer Beach & Amelia Island Plantation Real Estate

Amelia Island Plantation Home Sales

Currently four Amelia Island Plantation homes on the south part of Amelia Island are under contract through the Amelia Island Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Two of the sales are Watson Realty transactions including my newest AIP home listing. The average listing prices are over $1.1 million.

In 2011 the average Amelia Island Plantation MLS home sale price was over $825,000 and only one sale was under $500,000. There is a reason more Amelia Island Plantation homes are listed in the widespread Amelia Island MLS instead of the "exclusive" method mainly targeting hotel guests.

Amelia Island Plantation Condos

As the Amelia Island condo market stabilizes, especially at Amelia Island Plantation, the most popular AIP MLS condo sales in 2011 have been at Beachside and Dunes Club. A total of six have sold. Sale prices at Beachside have ranged from $850,000 to $1,175,000 and at Dunes Club from $1,120,000 to $1,765,000. The highest sale prices have both been top floor units.

Beachside condos have been considered a good value because of their size compared to other Amelia Island condos, their age and proximity to the Amelia Island Club. Currently only a first floor Beachside condo is listed for sale and priced at $845,000. See details here.

Amelia Island ~ Aerial Tour

 

If you have not been to Amelia Island this aerial flyover tour does a good job of showing the whole island including the southern tip, oceanfront condos in Amelia Island Plantation and Summer Beach and the homes along Fletcher Avenue, as well as Fort Clinch. The ten minute video of our 13.5 mile long barrier island is well worth the look.
