Naples FL Blog

W-O-W! It has been a busy last few days for me.  I had two sets of Buyers in town at the same time.  There are days I wish I had two copies of myself! Have you experienced this same thought before too?

The Sellers of 1400 Lambiance CIR #101 have reduced the price of their first floor end unit from $599,900.00 to $574,900.00.  With 2,025 square feet under air and a two car garage, this condo provides a great deal of space and a lovely lake view!

LAmbiance is located in the unique beach community of Pelican Bay in Naples, FL.  Wouldn't you love to have a home where you could walk to the beach?

Should you or any of your friends or family like to view this unit, just give me a call or e-mail me.

The 2009 Year To Date real estate statistics for Naples Florida show that the overall market experienced an increase in both pending sales and closed sales from the 2008 year to date statistics.  Out of 7,056 closed sales for the year 2009, a total of 5,051 of those closed sales were all under $300,000.00. 

The January 2010  Naples Florida real estate statistics also show an increase in both pending and closed sales.  Of the 3,406 closed sales in the 12 month period ending January 2010, 2,566 of those closed sales were under $300,000.00.  As of the end of January 2010, Naples has an inventory that could last 17.87 months.  The under $300,000.00 market has an inventory that could last only 10.53 months!  This market is rapidly approaching "normal" market inventory of 6 months.  Those buyers who have been waiting to purchase in the under $300,000.00 should start taking action.  Competition is tough in that price range. Conversely if you are looking to purchase over 2 million dollars, there is an inventory that could last 45.96 months!

It appears to this Realtor® that this season is not going to be stellar.  Even though the inventory of homes in the Naples area has decreased, it has mainly decreased in the under $300,000.00 range.  The upper price ranges may be facing a decrease in price.

While there has been an up tick in showing activity lately, Buyers still are not making buying decisions and continue to wait.  Until the economy improves and potential Naples buyers can get their homes sold up North, the upper price ranges may not move for a while.

It has been so cool in Naples that I actually was forced to wear my winter coat!

Note in this photo I am also wearing gloves. After living in Naples for the past 13 years, I have become a true Floridian. 

 Tomorrow night our weather is suppose to drop down into the 40's.  As I type this blog entry, I am wearing a jacket over my clothes AND socks. My heart goes out to all our Northern neighbors who were socked with snow storms.  When I put on my coat and gloves I was reminded of trying to open lock boxes in Chicago's freezing cold.  I never could get those boxes open unless I took off my gloves.  Brrrrrrrrr!  Where ever you may be, I hope that good weather is headed your way.
