I am Gail DeMarco, your dedicated Over-55 REALTOR® in St. Johns County, and I have toured this community with buyers from across the country. Let me tell you this one is different. This one has that feeling. Read on to find out why Del Webb at The Landings might just be your final destination.
A Storied Legacy Lands in Saint Johns County
Del Webb is not just a builder it is a legacy. Founded in 1960 by Arthur Minshall and named after Del E. Webb, the company pioneered the concept of age-restricted active adult living in the United States with the original Sun City community in Arizona. Del Webb did not just build homes it invented an entirely new way to live in retirement, one that centered on community, activity, friendship, and purpose.
More than six decades later, Del Webb, now a flagship brand under PulteGroup — one of the nation's largest homebuilders continues to raise the bar for 55+ communities. And in 2024, PulteGroup made a bold move: it acquired 963 acres in northern St. Johns County to create The Landings at Saint Johns, a master-planned community that would become home to both The Landings by Pulte Homes and the crown jewel Del Webb Saint Johns.
Ground broke in the summer of 2024 south of Greenbriar Road and west of Longleaf Pine Parkway, and sales launched in 2025. The response from buyers? Exactly what you would expect when Del Webb enters one of the fastest-growing counties in the entire country.
"St. Johns County is the most sought-after destination for relocating retirees from the Northeast and Midwest and Del Webb at The Landings is the community they have been waiting for." Gail DeMarco, Over-55 REALTOR® 904-640-8000
✈️ Why "The Landings"? This Community Has Aviation in Its DNA
From the moment you turn into the community, you notice it. The street names are not ordinary they are intentional. Contrail Court. Skipping Stone Court. These names are a nod to the golden age of aviation, evoking freedom, lift-off, and the thrill of a destination reached.
The community name itself The Landings is a love letter to everyone who has spent decades in the climb and is now ready to touch down somewhere truly spectacular. You have worked hard, raised families, built careers, navigated turbulence. Now it is time to land somewhere that actually deserves you.
This aviation theme runs through the spirit of the entire development: a sense of adventure, of arrival, of beginning something magnificent. And when you see the amenity center for the first time, the metaphor becomes very literal because it looks like it belongs on a cruise ship, not a subdivision. More on that in a moment.

This is not your grandmother's recreation room. This is resort living, full stop.

The HOA Fee That Actually Makes Sense
HOA fees get a bad reputation but not all HOA fees are created equal. When you look at what is included at Del Webb at The Landings, the math becomes very clear very fast.
✅
High-Speed Internet Included
🚤
RV & Boat Parking Available (fee)
🎉
Full Resort Amenity Access
At $298 per month, residents receive access to all community amenities plus high-speed internet service included in the HOA. When you factor in what you would pay separately for internet, club memberships, gym access, and recreational facilities in a typical retirement scenario, this number is a genuine bargain for the lifestyle on offer.
And for those with RVs, boats, or watercraft additional parking is available within the community for a separate fee, giving you the security and convenience of keeping your adventure equipment close to home.

Expert Tips and Strategies for a Successful Sale: This ultimate guide will walk you through everything you need to know to sell your house.
Selling your house can be exciting and challenging, especially in a competitive market like St. Johns County. With its beautiful landscapes, high-quality schools, and family-friendly atmosphere, St. Johns County is a desirable location for many buyers. To ensure a smooth and successful selling process, it's crucial to understand the key steps and strategies involved. This ultimate guide will walk you through everything you need to know to sell your house in St. Johns County effectively.
Understanding the St. Johns County Real Estate Market
Before you put your house on the market, it's essential to understand the current real estate landscape in St. Johns County. The local market trends, average home prices, and buyer demographics can significantly impact your selling strategy.
Market Trends
St. Johns County is known for its desirable homes, spacious properties, and serene environment. The market tends to attract families, retirees, and professionals looking for a high quality of life. Recently, there's been a steady demand for homes in this area, which can work to your advantage as a seller.
Average Home Prices
The average home price in St. Johns County is higher than the national average, reflecting the area's desirability. However, prices can vary based on factors such as location, property size, and amenities. Understanding the pricing dynamics will help you set a competitive price for your home.
Buyer Demographics
Knowing who your potential buyers are can help tailor your marketing efforts. In St. Johns County, buyers often look for properties with modern amenities, proximity to good schools, and easy access to recreational activities. Highlighting these features can make your home more appealing to the right audience.
Preparing Your Home for Sale
First impressions matter, and preparing your home for sale is a critical step in attracting potential buyers. Here are some key aspects to focus on:
Curb Appeal
Your home's exterior is the first thing buyers will see, so make it count. Simple improvements like landscaping, fresh paint, and clean walkways can significantly enhance your home's curb appeal.
Declutter and Depersonalize
Buyers need to envision themselves living in your home. Declutter each room to create a sense of space and remove personal items like family photos and memorabilia. This helps buyers imagine the home as their own.
Repairs and Upgrades
Address any necessary repairs before listing your home. Consider minor upgrades that can add value, such as modernizing fixtures, updating kitchen appliances, or refreshing bathroom tiles. These small investments can yield significant returns.
Staging
Staging your home can make a substantial difference in how quickly it sells and at what price. Professional staging involves arranging furniture and decor to highlight your home's best features and create an inviting atmosphere.
Pricing Your Home
Setting the right price is crucial for attracting buyers and maximizing your return. Overpricing can deter potential buyers, while underpricing can lead to a quick sale but at a loss. Here are some tips for pricing your home effectively:
Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)
A CMA involves comparing your home to similar properties that have recently sold in the area. This analysis provides a realistic price range based on current market conditions.
Professional Appraisal
Consider hiring a professional appraiser to get an objective valuation of your home. This can give you a solid benchmark for setting your asking price.
Market Conditions
Stay informed about local market conditions. In a seller's market, you might have more flexibility to price higher, while in a buyer's market, you may need to be more competitive with your pricing.
Marketing Your Home
Effective marketing is essential to reach a broad audience and attract potential buyers. Here are some strategies to consider:
High-Quality Photos and Videos
Professional photos and videos are a must. They showcase your home in the best light and attract more interest online. Consider including a virtual tour to give buyers a comprehensive view of your property.
Online Listings
List your home on popular real estate websites and social media platforms. Detailed descriptions, high-quality images, and accurate information are crucial to make your listing stand out.
Open Houses and Showings
Hosting open houses and private showings allows potential buyers to experience your home in person. Make sure your home is clean, well-lit, and inviting during these events.
Print Marketing
Traditional print marketing, such as brochures, flyers, and newspaper ads, can still be effective, especially in targeting local buyers.
Negotiating Offers
When you receive offers, it's important to evaluate them carefully and negotiate effectively. Here are some tips for successful negotiation:
Evaluate Offers
Consider all aspects of an offer, including the price, contingencies, and closing timeline. A higher offer may not always be the best if it comes with unfavorable terms.
Counteroffers
Don't be afraid to make counteroffers. Negotiation is a normal part of the selling process. Aim to reach a mutually beneficial agreement that meets your goals.
Professional Guidance
Working with an experienced real estate agent can be invaluable during negotiations. They can provide expert advice and handle the communication with buyers on your behalf.
Closing the Sale
Once you've accepted an offer, there are several steps to complete before closing the sale:
Home Inspection and Appraisal
The buyer will likely request a home inspection and appraisal. Be prepared to address any issues that arise and negotiate repairs if necessary.
Finalizing Paperwork
Work with your agent and a real estate attorney to ensure all the necessary paperwork is completed accurately and on time. This includes the purchase agreement, disclosure forms, and any other legal documents.
Closing Costs
Be aware of the closing costs involved, which may include agent commissions, transfer taxes, and attorney fees. These costs can vary, so it's important to budget accordingly.
Transfer of Ownership
On the closing day, you'll sign the final documents, transfer ownership of the property, and receive the proceeds from the sale. Congratulations, you've successfully sold your home!
