Bundled Golf in Naples FL- Babcock Pistol and Rifle Range

Our golf courses are being groomed and readied for the beginning of another season, traffic appears to have increased at Costco (people starting to trickle back from summer trips?). Sales are steady at a very moderate rate, dictated by lower prices. Inventory is static, except at Naples Lakes, which seems to be creeping slowly upwards.

Of trivial interest. A number of my readers are trying to get a mid week outing to Babcock Ranch to use the pistol and rifle range, and have asked me to conduct a straw poll, the idea is to get a caravan together and make a day of it. Let me know if you might be interested.

Weekly Update, Bundled Golf Communities Naples FL

The reason I am tardy with this week’s report is a little boy called Andrew Terrebonne from New Orleans. My grandson is from the Nations energy rich Louisiana. He runs on Everready++ batteries. Alas he and the family have left, and I am catching up on some sleep, but also feel the big void created by departing family.

Real Estate has slowed up a bit during the summer. It is still a buyer’s market, however we are reaching a point of selective short inventory. Depending on what floor your lobby is on, we may have reached a bottomed. Condos at $150,000, incremental increases for size, density (Carriage vs. Condo, Coach vs. Carriage). Your lobby is where on the pricing curve you are. Selling a condo at $175,000 (base unit first floor) means you are under downward pressure. That being said, here is the summary for the week.
