As of August 30, 2011, Ocean’s Edge had sold and closed 24 new beach condos, the highest number of new condos sold in any single condominium community in a four county area.  This makes Ocean’s Edge the highest performing new condominium project in the region for which data is collected.  Competing with both local builders and national brands, this number represents a major accomplishment for Denver-based Condo Capital Solutions (CCS), the community’s owner.

CCS acquired the unsold condominiums in Ocean’s Edge in the fall of 2009, obtained financing approval for the whole community and sales took off.  Commanding more than a 35% market share, the new data reinforces Ocean’s Edge position as an example of how to position a condo community for recovery in a difficult real estate market. 

With an unparalleled location east of Florida A1A, steps to the Atlantic Ocean, Ocean’s Edge is priced right from $161,000 to $259,000 and is the only condo community at the beach with financing approval for both FHA and conventional mortgages.  Purchasers in the seaside community may finance their purchase whether it will be a primary residence or a second home.  Additionally, property values have stabilized at the community and owners do not have to worry about declining appraisals.

Ocean’s Edge is offering one, two and three bedroom condominium residences complete with gourmet kitchens, upscale finishes, unparalleled on-site amenities, a great selection of shops, restaurants, cafes and entertainment venues all within walking distance.  Best of all, the beautiful beaches of south Jacksonville Beach are literally steps away so that early morning or after dinner strolls along with seashore are always there to enjoy.

Prices have remained constant since Ocean’s Edge opened for condominium sales in September, 2009. As a result, property values for the seaside condominiums have stabilized and appraisals have been coming in above asking price which is unheard of in the current market. One bedroom condos sell for $161,000 to $171,000. Two bedroom condos sell for $216,000 to $226,000 and three bedroom condos sell for $249000 to$259,000. The price range depends on view from the unit and proximity to the beach walkover to the Atlantic Ocean. As a result of stable property values at Ocean’s Edge, all appraisals tend to come in at the upper end of the price range.

Stable property values and high appraisals mean peace of mind

Mortgage interest rates reached an all-time low of below 4% in late September/early October. As of mid-October, this downward trend has stopped and, although still historically low, interest rates are now 4.15% to 4.25% for a 30 year fixed rate FHA or conventional mortgage. Ocean’s Edge has the distinction of being approved for both FHA and Fannie Mae-backed conventional mortgages. There are very few Florida condominiums with financing approval. As a result, most condominium purchases must be in cash. Not so at Ocean’s Edge. Purchasers may select from a wide array of low down payment fixed rate mortgages or they may choose an adjustable rate mortgage. The best news is that they have a choice.

With Ocean’s Edge more than 70% sold out, some locations and floor plans have limited availability. Some floor plans are down to one or two left for sale on the first and third floors. To the savvy investor, this means that it is definitely time to make your move before you miss out. There is only one first floor Cayman available and only two, second floor Aruba plans left for sale.

Interest rates are starting to trend up after reaching historic lows

If you believe that timing is a key component of making any financial decision, now is definitely the right time to buy your brand new Florida beach condo in Jacksonville Beach. When you add it all up – low, stable prices, high appraisals, low but upward trending interest rates, limited availability of some locations and floor plans and a community approaching sell out – there has never been a better time to buy!

Buyers have been drawn to the community’s unparalleled location east of Florida A1A and steps from the Atlantic Ocean as well as lush tropical surroundings, first-rate amenities and pricing that is within reach. Ocean’s Edge offers one, two and three bedroom residences ranging in price from $161,000 to $259,000. Since the community opened for sales in 2009, pricing has remained stable and appraisals have been coming in above asking price, which is unheard of in the current market.

Financing available at Ocean’s Edge

There are very few Florida condominiums with financing approval and Ocean’s Edge has the distinction of being approved for both FHA and Fannie Mae conventional mortgages, making it possible for buyers to obtain low down payment, fixed rate mortgages at competitive rates. With these financing approvals, Ocean’s Edge is able to offer mortgage financing to primary and second home purchasers as well as investors.

For all these reasons, Ocean’s Edge has enjoyed tremendous success. According to year to date MLS data for condominiums priced between $160,000 and $300,000 in Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Ponte Vedra Beach, sales at Ocean’s Edge represent more than 40 percent of all the condominiums sold.
