Pelican Bay Villa Update

2017-11-06T12:09:00.000-05:00

Hello Naples Friends!

Just spent some time in the Pelican Bay villa market. Whoo, it's going to be a tight one for Buyers this year but if you're in the market, there are some great choices. Two words, don't wait!

There are less than 5 months of inventory here so the market is tight and likely getting tighter.

Here are the Pelican Bay Villa markets that have NO inventory:

If you're looking for properties in the above Pelican Bay neighborhoods, contact me directly! I can put you on my instant notification program to alert you when new product hits the market giving you the best chance of getting that property!

If you're thinking about selling your Pelican Bay villa in one of the above communities, contact me today to find out how we can knock it out of the park for you!

Here are the Pelican Bay neighborhoods with limited inventory:

Even with limited inventories, there are still Pelican Bay villas that are priced well and look amazing! I wouldn't wait though, 3 Pelican Bay villas went under contract in 1 week. Activity like that is going to make it tough on other Pelican Bay villa buyers. We could see prices increase dramatically if this continues!

Here are the Pelican Bay villa communities where inventories are level:

Even where inventories are limited you can still find some pretty decent values and both fixer-upper and fabulously remodeled homes.

Here are the Pelican Bay villa communities currently over-supplied:

Here's the latest testimonial I received last night from my most recent Pelican Bay Buyer:

"5 star white glove service. Shannon is very knowledgeable regarding the housing market in general, and specifically the Naples area where we focused our house hunting search. We enjoyed spending time with Shannon and appreciated her invaluable input which ultimately led us to our dream retirement home in Pelican Bay. "

I've been living in Pelican Bay for 11 years. I know it, I sell it, I love it! Contact me today!

Naples Real Estate Update 6/29/17

2017-06-29T09:24:00.000-04:00

Buyers: If you're going to buy Naples real estate anytime within the next 8 months, the best time to strike is between now and September 15th when negotiations will tighten! Call me today to get started!
Buyers: There are pocket listings in areas like Bay Colony where people have chosen to take a break off the market during the summer but those properties are still secretly available. If you have an interest in a specific neighborhood, call me and I'll tell you about the properties you can't see on any website!
Buyers: Don't expect a great deal of inventory to hit the market between now and October 1st. There's still a large group of people who believe it's better to wait til pre-season than to try during the summer. Call me today so we can get a jump on negotiations which could save you substantially!
Buyers: No time to actually come and look? Do what my other buyers are doing this year. Call me, I'll go check out the property, call you with details, send photos, videos, Facetime walk through, set up inspections etc. You don't have to ruin summer plans to accomplish your Naples real estate objective!
Buyers: Want to buy something that doesn't exist right now? Call me, tell me what it is and let me see if I can find it for you!

Sellers: If you're thinking about selling, now is the best time to go on the market. It's likely some inventory (in cases many properties) will all enter the market around October and you will find yourself competing substantially more. Buyers are here buying, you might as well take advantage!
Sellers: If inventories creep up past last season's levels, there will be pressure to drop pricing to meet sales goals. Today is the best time to sell.
Sellers: Take care of maintenance issues before hitting the market! Buyers are more picky and will be asking for you to do more when inspections come back. Guard yourself against potential concerns by taking care of maintenance now so eyebrows won't raise! Here's a short list of things you can do to keep property condition concerns at bay:

Have your air conditioning systems maintained! Typically one of the biggest concerns for buyers. At a minimum clean your air filters.
Check for roof leaks! 21 inches of rain in June, now's the best time to see if there are problems.
Check walls and baseboards for mold. Using your LED light on your phone is one of the easiest ways to spot for mold. If you find you have a mold problem, that can cost $1,000's to mitigate! Do it before they buyer's inspection! Keep your air low enough to fight moisture!

Ok, gotta run! If you have questions or want to set an appointment to buy or sell Naples real estate, I'm here for you!

Mediterra Naples, Florida Market Update!

2017-06-19T12:06:00.000-04:00

Whoo Mediterra has seen some serious after season success this year! Here's the Mediterra Naples current status:

Mediterra Market Snap Shot:
Active: 80
Pending: 9
Closed Past Year: 55

The biggest talking point of all is the reduction in inventory. Just two months ago there was roughly 30 months of inventory while today the neighborhood sits at about 17 months. More properties sold this post season compared to last year but that was a large result of buyers putting their foot down in demand for better deals. Some negotiated way better than others but overall, the market performed a few bucks up a foot compared to last year's results so all that waiting around may not have done much for the buyer's bottom line and likely cost the seller more in holding costs to stand firm during season.

Mediterra Buyers: You should know you have a little more muscle compared to years past. Your best deals are likely going to come from older homes though so don't expect huge discounting off the new stuff. That's still selling at a pretty good rate.

Here are the Mediterra neighborhoods where you can find some great deals:

Belleza
Brendisi
Cabreo
Calabria
Lucarno
Medici
Monterosso
Villoresi

Here are the Mediterra neighborhoods where you can find some really amazing properties:

Cortile
Il Corsini
Ravello
Serata

Mediterra Sellers: Competing with new construction can be difficult especially if your home is showing signs of aging. I don't think this is the year where it's wise to take your property off the market and wait til October though because several Mediterra neighborhoods don't have much to choose from and buyers looking during the summer are considerably more serious about buying opposed to those looking during season. If you couple motivation to purchase with less inventory, that can be the ingredients you need to sell. Call me for more details regarding a more detailed selling strategy to help you accomplish the goal of selling your Mediterra property!

If you want to know what the market is doing in each of the Mediterra neighborhoods, check out my full Mediterra real estate update!

Bay Colony Naples, Florida Update 5.1.17

2017-05-21T09:28:00.000-04:00

Hello Naples Fans!

If you've been waiting for a better time to snatch up an incredible Bay Colony Naples, Florida property, you're in luck! Unseasonably warm weather kept more people away from the negotiating tables in Naples this year which means nice discounts for Bay Colony buyers who are interested in purchasing during the off season! There's also some excellent reasons why this post season time might be the best time to buy! You're going to want to read my latest Bay Colony update to find out why!

2016-09-18T12:49:00.001-04:00

During the last Naples, Florida real estate peak it took $535,000 to break into Pelican Bay. Today a Pelican Bay condo just closed for $286,900 which is simply a REMARKABLE deal.

The unfortunate side for the next buyer is prices from there are substantially higher. The lowest priced Pelican Bay condo is now in the mid $300's and there's only 1 of those. The next three are listed at $425,000. While the odds of getting a deal like the last guy is highly unlikely, the odds of getting an outstanding deal compared to the one after you is significantly high. Don't waste anytime or you'll miss that one too!

There are currently 11 Pelican Bay condos under $535,000. Call me today if you are looking for a great place to park some money.

Since I'm talking about Pelican Bay deals, If you can get a Pelican Bay home under $1,000,000 you're doing pretty good. During the peak you couldn't buy one for less than $1,350,000. Today there's one on the market for barely over $1,000,000.

Pelican Bay Single Family Home Update

2016-09-13T07:38:00.000-04:00

Hello Naples Friends,

It's time for the Pelican Bay high rise report! Here I'll tell you:

How the Pelican Bay high rise market has performed
What's going on now with the market
What buildings are winning, losing and standing still

The past 365 day performance of Pelican Bay high rise product:
A whopping 162 high rise condos in Pelican Bay sold during the past 12 months. With only 4.44 months on the market, that puts this segement in a pretty good undersupply. Prices are still going up but not at the rapid pace they have been. In fact, there have been 17 price reductions with the units currently on the market but there's also been 4 price increases as well.
The market is slowing down at a pretty fast pace though. Market time is up 87%! That means Seller's, it's time to look at your traffic and decided if you're priced where you need to be and if you're planning on hitting the market for the 2016-2017 selling season, you'll want to price it right this year and have a great strategy to attract buyers. We have one already in place so you might as well call us since you heard it here first!
Even though list price to sales price ratio is 94% (That's pretty strong for Naples) and even though our inventories are low, I expect our inventories to increase as it always does starting around October. This is excellent news for Buyers because they should start seeing some relief in prices and have more options to choose from. You'll want to work with a proven professional and a Pelican Bay resident like myself to help you navigate your way through a successful sale. Call us, we'll help you hit your objective!
