Home prices vary by size, views and access to community amenities

Houses in South New Port Richey were mostly built during the 1970s and consist of a fairly even mix of townhouses and ranch-style homes. Many homes sit on green lawns with lots shaded by swaying palm trees. Stucco exteriors are common, with a few Spanish revival homes mixed in with the classic Florida one-story design. Townhouse prices range from $109,000 to $189,000, and ranch-style home prices range from $135,000 to $595,000. Prices increase due to size, lakefront views and access to additional amenities. 55+ communities like Sunnybrook and Colony Cove Park offer some of these sought-after amenities, like clubhouses, heated pools, marina access and more. “We’re still in a seller’s market, but I have noticed things are sitting a bit longer, even though prices aren’t necessarily coming down,” Downs says. “People aren’t buying for $20,000 over the asking price anymore, but I’m finding that a lot of sellers are able to get closing costs covered.”
