Bundled Golf in Naples FL- Babcock Pistol and Rifle Range

by , under Uncategorized

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 Sales Report and Commentary by Ron Barakett

by , under Uncategorized
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.

Bundled Golf for the Week, Plus Other Newsworthy Items

by , under Uncategorized

Last week was the first missed report in 3 years, thanks to a Canadian flu bug. I was away for a week, and came across some food for thought.

There is more to using the English language than just words it is the underlying culture. DO NOT PRESS #1 for English. Canada has chosen to be a mosaic; the USA has always been a Melting Pot. There is a direct parallel to the immigration debate in Arizona. Read on Quebec separatists.

Inventory seems to be building again in Forest Glen and Naples Lakes, which will put additional pressure downwards on pricing. The rest of the communities have stayed right at par, the basic units 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condominiums right at $150,000, with premiums for dens, ends, and upper floors.

Sunday’s Naples FL Daily News

by , under Uncategorized

Sunday’s Naples Daily News offered some sage advice. Don’t shop for a home on price alone, instead judge properties on what suits your needs, and then determine a fair purchase price through a vigorous analysis of recent sales. (Example, this report) Even though the market has changed and continues to change, these fundamentals will always apply. This report is intended to give you that basic knowledge.

Total units in each of these communities are approximately 800 condos, carriage homes, homes with pools (villas, twin villas etc) and estate homes. A quick glance is very revealing; Forest Glen and Naples Lakes each have about twice the inventory as do the others. A prospective buyer or seller needs to answer the question, why?  These 2 are feeling downward price pressure and buyers and sellers should formulate different strategies.

Happy Memorial Day!

by , under Uncategorized

While it’s the official start of summer, it’s also a day to remember and honor our military. Please take the time to watch this short and amazing  video.  Thank Your Military.

It’s great to see how ordinary citizens came up with a simple way to salute the sacrifice our military makes.

Meanwhile, enjoy the barbecue!

Cedar Hammock, Forest Glen, Heritage Bay, Naples Heritage, Naples Lakes, Vanderbilt Country Club WINNERS AND LOSERS

by , under Uncategorized

Inventory levels have crept upwards slightly. Forest Glen has continued to add units, hitting the 60 level for the first time in months. Looking between the “ropes” however, we see that Vanderbilt Country Club has reduced to 31 units, 18 of these are Condos (covered parking). The condo category is still undersold.

Heritage Bay is still the 400 pound gorilla in the room. Heritage Bay has more short sales appearing every week, and they are being snapped up at the $140K level. I believe that the physical proximity to Vanderbilt Country Club added to the inventory levels there. Prices have been ticking up at Cedar Hammock and Naples Heritage, with the bellwether 2 bedroom/2 bathroom units fetching $170,000. Amazing, because those units are smaller in square footage than the same units at Vanderbilt County Club.
