Reading it honestly
Neither community “wins” — they price different products. The table shows what buyers actually paid, how fast homes moved, how much negotiation happened (sale-to-original-list), how much builder inventory competes with resales, and what the annual district assessment adds to carrying cost.

Community medians move month to month and mix product types; the Nocatee row aggregates its flagship record while individual villages vary widely (see the per-village CDD table). Julington Creek Plantation’s CDD figure is secondary-sourced pending district verification. Verify everything for a specific address before offering.
