Six years ago, Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson aspired to organize a clay shoot to raise money for local, worthy organizations. “As we began planning, I knew I needed sponsors. My first call was to Chris Wood, co-owner of Riverside Homes,” shares Davidson. “Chris immediately agreed to the largest sponsorship and Riverside Homes has continued that same support every year.”

 

“We are so proud to sponsor Davidson Cares Clay Day. When we find an organization with such a heart for children, we are honored to be able to lend support,” shares Matt Roberts, co-owner of Riverside Homes.   

 

The Davidson Realty and Riverside Homes teams have a longstanding relationship built on mutual respect. The frequent collaboration and partnership spans from business to philanthropy and is bonded by a common desire to serve the Northeast Florida community. In fact, Erik Wilson of Riverside Homes is a member of the Davidson Cares Board and brings his insight and extremely caring spirit to the board of directors. 

 

Our Davidson Realty team loves to work with Riverside Homes. “It is such a pleasure to help customers purchase from a builder we know will deliver an outstanding home. Working with a local builder that is involved in the community and treats everyone with respect gives our agents and customers peace of mind,” continues Davidson. 

 

Riverside Homes is a locally-owned and award-winning home builder in Jacksonville, Florida with over 15 years of new home building experience including the 2019 Southern Living Idea House in Amelia Island, FL. Riverside Homes builds in amazing neighborhoods and provides designs that fit the way today’s families live. Every component of a Riverside Home is carefully crafted to ensure quality and value. Riverside Homes is currently building in St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach, St. Johns, Yulee, and Fleming Island.

 

“Riverside Homes is an extremely generous organization supporting the Northeast Florida Homebuilders Association (NEFBA), Builders Cares, and ReThreaded,” continues Davidson. “I know they support many other great charities and events in our community.  Matt Roberts and Chris Wood are always seeking opportunities to spread their philanthropic hearts.” 

 

Over the past six years, Davidson Cares Clay Day has raised more than $345,000 to support charities in need because of generous sponsors like Riverside Homes. To learn more about Riverside Homes visit their website at www.myriversidehome.com or call 904-530-4720.

NORTHEAST FLORIDA BUILDERS ARE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND FOR NEW HOMES. HERE’S HOW SOME BUILDERS ARE MANAGING THE PROCESS.

June 23, 2021

Persistence and patience are the name of the game in the current real estate market as every corner of the industry has been rattled by uncertainty as a side effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

 

“The Northeast Florida real estate market is as hot as many in our industry have ever seen,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. “There are not enough homes on the market to satisfy buyer demand. Resale homes coming available are getting multiple offers usually within hours to a day and offers are mostly above list price. In May of this year, more than 41% of homes closed were over asking price,” Sherry continues. Even the new construction housing market has experienced challenges that are requiring home seekers to adapt. We’ve connected with some of the talented home builders in Northeast Florida to get an update on their current conditions. 

 

Riverside Homes

“Riverside Homes continues to see very strong demand and we have made a few changes to our process to ensure the very best quality homes and provide the great building experience the people expect from Riverside Homes. We limit the amount of sales in each of our communities so we can keep a smooth process for permitting and building our homes. We closely monitor increasing supply costs each month doing our best to offer the most competitive home pricing,” shares Riverside Homes Sales Manager, Jacki Matthews. Despite the building supply shortages plaguing builders across the country, Riverside Homes promises to maintain the integrity and quality of their homes. 

 

Ashley Homes

Ashley Homes experienced a surge in sales and are currently sold out in Silverleaf, and have been since February 2021. “During the pandemic, we had no limits on sales and sold everything that we had available. Ashley Homes includes escalation clauses in many of our contracts, as do other builders, to protect us and our buyers from unforeseen lumber and material increases. Our buyer may pay a modest increase just to cover the rising material costs, but Ashley Homes has no profit added, shares Ashley Homes’ very own Greg Souris. Ashley Homes is navigating the home building process with their buyers, many who have seen more than $40,000-$50,000 increase in their home value before their home construction even started. 

 

Providence Homes

“In E-Town we are not limiting pre-sales or inventory homes, however, some of our policies have changed on when we can release inventory homes for sales. In Nocatee, we are limiting the pace of sales so we can manage the construction process,” shares Brenda Harris, Sales Associate at Providence Homes. Build time is approximately eight months, but Providence Homes is asking for flexibility and understanding from customers as material shortages could cause delays. 

 

MasterCraft Builder Group

Brad Shee, MasterCraft Builder Group President, shared, “The shortage of materials began in March 2021 as suppliers burned through inventory. Based on the lumber futures chart, lumber prices should start dropping. Because of the shortages, MasterCraft Builder Group is limiting sales each month in TrailMark and Rivertown.” The demand for homes in Northeast Florida is unprecedented, but it’s no surprise as the attraction to the First Coast is clear from the ocean to the river to the affordable cost of living. 

 

With more than 30 years of experience, Davidson Realty has cultivated strong relationships with some of the area’s leading home builders in Northeast Florida. Davidson Realty Agents know the new constructions market in Northeast Florida and can help you find the perfect lot and design to fit your needs. “Our agents are constantly talking to builder site agents to stay current on which builders have inventory and how they are managing the sales process. This constant communication allows our agents to know if a sale falls through, what is available, and the timing and process of the homesites that will be released so our clients can take advantage,” shares Sherry Davidson. 

 

The real estate experts at Davidson Realty will be by your side throughout the construction process to ensure your expectations and vision comes to life! For more information on new construction homes in Northeast Florida, call Davidson Realty at (904) 940-5000.

If you drive around St. Johns County, you will see new businesses and developments popping up on every corner. And this growth has no plans of slowing down. St. Johns County is not going to stop growing any time soon. An upcoming jewel in the highly coveted area: SilverLeaf. SilverLeaf is a master-planned community that is family-friendly and features resort-style amenities with no CDD fees. “Our customers are drawn to SilverLeaf because of the location and convenience it provides as you can easily get to any destination from SilverLeaf. The community in St. Johns County is thriving and a wonderful place to call home,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. SilverLeaf is zoned for 10,700 dwelling units, 2,650,000 square feet of mixed-use commercial space, and more than 3,500 acres of beautiful conservation land. Once complete, SilverLeaf will be one of the largest community development in Northeast Florida.

 

SilverLeaf will be home to several neighborhoods with homes for families and individuals with a size, price point, and style for everyone.

In 2016, Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson decided to put together a clay shoot fundraiser to support worthy causes. “I had no idea if anyone would want to be a sponsor,” Sherry said. “My first call was to Chris Wood (co-owner of Riverside Homes). He supported us with the largest sponsorship and has continued to generously do so every year since!”

 

The relationship between Davidson Realty and Riverside Homes is longstanding and built on a foundation of mutual respect. Davidson Realty and Riverside Homes often collaborate on projects and have enjoyed developing a strong relationship.

 

From lunch and learn opportunities to wine and appetizer events, Riverside Homes regularly invites Davidson Realty agents to their model homes throughout Northeast Florida to share information about new developments and floor plan designs. Riverside Homes is always a gracious host that, simply, does things right!

Riverside Homes is a locally-owned and award-winning home builder in Jacksonville, Florida with over 15 years of new home building experience including the 2019 Southern Living Idea House in Amelia Island, FL.

Riverside Homes is currently building in St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach, St. Johns, Yulee, and Fleming Island.

 

“Riverside Homes is special. Chris Wood and Matt Roberts (owners of Riverside Homes) are genuine, caring, and filled with integrity. They are amazing people to do business with. What truly amazes me about this team is the respect and relationships they have with other builders who are their competitors,” Sherry continues.
