Bundled Golf Naples FL Seasonal Rentals

Bundled Golf Naples FL & Season Rentals

They go together like Bacon & Eggs. Here is the way the cycle works. A younger family can get to take 30 days off in Naples for a golfing vacation in a Bundled Golf Naples FL Community. They enjoy it, (WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE?) and so they repeat the experience the following year. Year 3 rolls around and they decide to try a 60 day lease.

Then the bug bites and they figure if they owned a place of their own, they could do a December through Christmas & New Years maybe even stay through the end of January, and rent their unit out for February and March. Easy to justify and that covers 75% of the occupancy costs.

You wonder – How do we control, inspect, and do the paperwork? EASY, get the Bear to help out.

For your information attached is a list of Recommended Inventory you need to provide your renters.

Bundled Golf Naples FL Weekly Real Estate Report

The increase in showings over the last two weeks has resulted in a net sales number of 14, which is the highest in quite a stretch. This only counts those transactions that have a contract and where the status has been changed from Active to Pending. I have 2 sales where the status has not been updated by the listing office. However we had significant number of new listings so the net Actives have gone up from 359 last week to 365 this week. So what is going on?

I have not figured this out yet, but have some good ideas. In the meantime, rental demand has been super strong for the 2012 Winter season. HERITAGE BAY has less than 5 condos left to sell, which should bode positive news for the rest of the Bundled Golf Market in Naples FL.
