Lots to do LOL. Sure if you don’t mind driving 40 minutes south. Port Saint Lucie is a dump. Need a new doctor? Be prepared for a 6 month wait. Need a specialist? A year’s wait. Want to go to a decent restaurant? You’re driving at least 40 minutes. And for the privilege of living in PSL you’ll pay the highest property taxes in the state. And don’t forget the CDD fees. But yes the golf course is above average.

Be sure to check out the HOA and CDD fees. Also be aware that property taxes are among the highest in the state.

I've been here 15 years y'all want to know about PSL ask me...

If only realtors had the intelligence and work ethic to be a builder.

I hear you. Some people just don't want to be told what to do with their property and don't care what their neighbors do with their property... Or have to deal with an HOA that is being totally unreasonable. The new legislation helps out but not enough. I have a video coming up on non HOA new construction soon.

No HOA for any reason or any price

We live in the best city in Florida 🙌🏽

Any updates as of late July 2024?

These models are nice, pretty etc but have you looked at the water intrusion in the garages and water laying around the outside of house? Even without the rain I see issues. One builder has lots of plug ins in a model-thats a huge hint

Excellent information, thank you!

tell me about it, my wife and I went with Port Saint Lucie Properties and if you are familiar you know they didn't pay their contractors and vendors and some people had liens on their unfinished houses, we dodged that bullet but they are no longer here so we have no warranty.

Are there any good non greedy builders left?

Wish they would stop cutting all the trees in Port Saint Lucie

Well presented. Good vid. +1

The more growth the better PSL gets away from the maga, white supremacy, trump lunatics.

Man I'm so glad I don't live in Florida...so many less issues when you live/build in New Mexico.

A water treatment system is not a bad idea. Up and down the Treasure Coast, water quality could definitely be improved.

Metal roofs are needed, raise the house off the ground, draining a swamp and building on fill isn't a good idea, the water supply is undrinkable by humans . The water test is to put the water in a ball jar and leave it covered for two weeks, open the jar and you'll get an idea of what your drinking and bathing in.

Im a port st lucie resident for 3 years and I'll say you covered this video very thoroughly. Great data points. Good job

Good stuff

Did I HEAR HOA, NO THANKS.

I get whenever stuff is in your face all of the time, no matter what it is, you can get sick of it. Live and let live...

I only want to live around w people. Sick of multiculturalism

I'm so happy for living here. Definitely my investment is going sky rocket 🚀 😊👍❤️💯🌴🌄

Hi. And which community is Kolter developing way out west?

Good video

We are doing research on the new Mattamy communities. Newfield, in Martin County, is in design and months away from the models going up. "Forest" is coming to West Palm. There aren't a lot of details yet except we expect the homes to cost 85,000 to 120,000 dollars more than similar houses in Port St Lucie. We have some upcoming meetings on the Mattamy offerings. I will keep you posted.

Good questions... Mattamy did do pools, then they stopped, then they started again but just in certain communities. Now, they contract with some of the local pool companies. I don't believe they have their own pool construction division. Most of the builders contract pools with local companies. I have mixed thoughts pools through builders. Some people want the pool done with the house and to be done with it before they move in. But, if you finance the pool in with the house, you are paying up to 30 years of interest on the pool. That 60,000 dollar pool might be 75,000 or more by the time it is paid off. I believe it is better to do a pool after market. You would possibly be using the same contractor as the builder. You can build when you are ready and pay it off separately in much less than 30 years, saving you a lot of money. Plus, you can design what you want and can afford, not just what the builder is willing to design and offer.

Thoughts on pools and when to do those? Does mattamy install them? Also any possible info on the new mattamy community coming to palm beach?

Why post if you can’t say lol. The hustle 😂😂

Sophia, I will let you know all I know. There are some tax and CDD stuff you should know. I will email and/or call early next week.

I thought that you recently bought a Mattamy built home. I’m really interested in Cadence but won’t be moving for a couple of years from now.

Thanks... It is good to see PSL getting the amenities to meet its population. It is a great place to live and is getting better. They just need to control growth and taxes. 😊

Great video; very informative

Thanks, sorry that was misleading. Going to do a follow up and correct that soon.

Sorry but you got a lot of misinformation in this video. Those empty lots next to those huge houses, Kolter does not build over there. Kolter only builds in the smaller lots located to the left of the entrance. The home you stated was built by Kolter is made by a custom home builder. The lots to the right of the community and on the island can be purchased if available and you have to build with a custom builder.

Hey Michael. I wish there was an easy answer. The cost of a pool would depend on the size of the pool, if it is heated, if it has a spa, what kind of decking surrounds the pool, and more... Many people, if not most, get an after market pool. I have seen clients get a pool for 70,000 all the way to 140,000. The ballpark cost would be 80,000 to 100,000. The cost of a pool shot up after Covid. Sometimes the higher end builders will discount a pool as an upgrade when sales are slow. I hope that helps. If you want more detail, give me a call.

What would be the price of a pool and screen

Did they break ground yet?

FYI, That’s not the Caroline model.

All I can say is check the latest stats from third party organizations.

Hey, it all depends on how fast they sell. I imagine that Community will be sold out within 7 to 10 months. Keep checking in with me and the picture will become clearer. For the money and fees, that neighborhood is a good deal. Stephen.

When will buiding be finished? Seems to be a nice community!

This was great! Thank you!!

How much for Paige and Julia

I'm Stephen's wife and he' so right! There are a lot of different kinds of rides. And it's so safe!

I'm a snowbird that lives in the area 6 months out of the year and love the biking diversity especially the miles and miles of gravel. Give Steve a call he will find you a great place to live.

We love it here!!
