Bundled Golf Communities Weekly Update, Naples FL
No one got the answer on sprinkler heads. There are 14,000 not counting the ones on the golf course. As for the course that robbed us of the most balls, I am waiting for clarification from the owner of Golf Balls Galore on J & C Boulevard, where ( a plug for Larry, the owner) you have access to the finest selection of new and PRE LOVED golf balls in the area. www.GolfBallsGalore.com
I am waiting for a creative bolt of lightning to formulate the next trivia question, so on to business. Heritage Bay will be sold out in 24 months, and as of right now, there are no planned Bundled Golf Courses on the drawing boards. There is no entitled land that will come together at the right density…………..that means that we who own will have a scarce resource down the road.. Summer business has been very slow, and it is all about price at the moment.

State of the golf course communities: These 6 are all very healthy financially, especially when compared to the “private course”. The financial responsibility is shared among the 800 shareholders.
Trivia question. HOW many sprinkler heads does the average bundled golf course have (CLUE IT IS IN THE THOUSANDS). First response within 500 heads gets a round of golf at Heritage Bay (winter time!! for 4 players)

Weekly Sales Report and Commentary by Ron Barakett
Buying a house is still a very bad deal at the upper range of the neighborhood you might be considering, but it does make sense to buy at the relatively bottom end within the community where prices have already fallen into line with salaries and rents. Check whether you should rent or buy in your own area with this NY Times Calculator.
Annual Rent / (divided) by Price ) >than 6 times. Example 2 Bedroom 2 Bath condo at 150,000.00 X 6%=$9,000.00 That confirms that these are priced correctly. I thought that was very interesting.
