For the Maletta family, love and family came full circle right here in St. Augustine. It was here that more than 20 years ago, Tom and Michelle Maletta spent their honeymoon. And, after a couple major moves as well as extensive world travels, it is here where they returned in 2002 to lay roots and raise a family. They discovered their new home in Clubview Estates nestled near the first tee of the King & Bear golf course.
Today, Michele is a busy mother of three who was recently named to the Board of Davidson Cares. We caught up with Michele to ask her about her new appointment and her experiences.
If you’re a World Golf Village resident then you’ve definitely seen the increase in new home construction in the past six months. If you’re like me, then you’re very curious to see the inside of those beautiful homes and what new trends are happening in the builder world.

The cooler days of fall are just around the corner. Fall brings a new growing season and revitalized interest in getting back into the garden. It is time to plan the garden projects you would like to accomplish during fall and winter. Are there overgrown shrubs that are obstructing the view of your home, or would you like to have more color to enhance the curb appeal? Would your garden beds look neater and better defined by installing edging?
The singer/songwriter, Joe South, famously recorded the song, Walk a Mile in My Shoes. The commonly used refrain about “walking a mile in my shoes” refers to being non-judgmental of others. Humorously, it is often extended to “before you criticize someone, walk a mile in his shoes – then when you do criticize that person, you’ll be a mile away and have his shoes”. Some say that research shows the sentiment is rooted in old, Cherokee Indian, native-American wisdom. It remains wonderful advice – “don’t judge a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes”.
The signs of an improving real estate market continue in our northeast Florida golf community. Strong increases in pending home sales, decreases in inventory and higher median prices are welcome signs. The improvements in real estate sales activity dovetails with an increase in new home construction by major national homebuilders. Says Sherry Davidson, President of Davidson Realty, “Pending sales are very encouraging. We wrote over 2,100 contracts in May which was a 36 percent gain over last May. Meanwhile inventory is down year-to-date over 30 percent.”
