River Ridge, New Port Richey, Florida. A great Golf community to live in
This subdivision is one of Michael Boyce's developments. His sons have joined the family business, becoming the 4th generation of Builders. Michael Boyce has been named Pasco County's Builder of the Year twice by the local Building Industry. As a Realtor® the River Ridge School District has been the most requested school that buyers have requested from me when they have children, as where they desire to live. Whether it is a place you wish to send your children is of course a very personal decision I can not answer for you.

Above you will see the wide price range within the River Ridge subdivision. Also based on the number of sold properties last year (shown later in this blog post) there is just over 8 months inventory on the market. The two surprises for me have to do with the wide spread in Listing price of Homes for Sale in River Ridge ($50k- $365k,) as well as the wide spread in List Price/Square Foot ($55/sqft - $201/sqft.)
Dissecting the numbers above for Homes for Sale in River Ridge in New Port Richey under contract show a tightening of the numbers that were much wider in the Actives. The listing prices only range from $65k - $200k, and the List Price per square foot range is only $56 - 119. However the Days on Market (DOM) is longer than the West Pasco County average by more than a month
I must say I am little disappointed with the number of homes sold In River Ridge in New Port Richey last year. The Active Listings and those under contract are current numbers as of tonight (the time of publishing) whereas the Sold properties are for all of last year. For such a sizable subdivision 74 homes sold is not that much. However this may say more about the subdivisions stability than the economic woes of most subdivision, as there is less inventory on the market than in the rest of the West Pasco market.
