Golf Communities Resales & Active Listings in Naples FL
Inventory levels continue to fall across all 11 Golf communities that we monitor because sales continue to outpace the number of new listings. What happens in one community really affects all the communities, like the global economy. For instance, if there are a few “extra sales” say at ABC golf course that allows prices to go up a little bit. If they raise more than a little, then what happens next is sales switch off to some of the other communities. Like the water table, things even out after a while.
Naples FL Trivia
Trivial pursuit “Where Am I Now? has proven to be a challenge for me to find new golf courses that my target audience would be familiar with. Last week’s golf course was Pelican Sound, 3 x9 hole courses on the river with Beach access.
For this week, if you get to this page, this is a no brainer. WHICH OF THESE COMMUNITIES HAD THE MOST CLOSINGS? First correct answer will receive a $50 gift certificate.

VANDERBILT COUNTRY CLUB RENOVATION UPDATE: Here’s a sneak peek at the progress with the outside bar and expansion of the pool deck at Vanderbilt Country Club: CLICK HERE
Bundled Golf Naples FL / Private Golf Naples FL Real Estate Reports
There is some very good news in the table you see below. Sales exceeded new listings by a wide margin. As usual, you have to look behind the numbers. I did. Here is what is very interesting
1. There were 5 listings added at Heritage Bay by Lennar Homes for unsold, and as yet un-built homes. That gives the sales figures the widest gap over new listings we have seen in years!
2. The bulk of the inventory in the “Bundled Gold” category is comprised of condos with covered parking. About 55% of the inventory fits this category
