As of 8/28/08, there are 35 homes listed in Royal Pines neighborhood. I removed the rental homes and 3 homes for sale (1 home with an even house # on Marsh Drive and 2 on Eagle Trace Court) because they are not actually in Royal Pines, but are in attached neighborhoods. This will continue to become more difficult because now, St. James Place at the front of Point Road will be starting construction soon; however, looking at the pricing for St. James, it will be in line with Royal Pines and should not hurt our comparables. St. James appears to be similarly priced to Westminster, which was a nice addition to Royal Pines in the past years.
