INSIGHTS

Inventory is down 3 units from last week, also, the new sales exceeded new listings. This is only the second time in 2011 this has happened. Keep your fingers crossed!

I had a productive meeting with a member of the LRP (Vanderbilt Country Club) this past week, and I will post my impressions here tonight. Look forward to a good exchange of ideas.

Bundled Golf Naples FL Weekly Real Estate Report

OVERVIEW:

A detached villa with pool sold and closed for $415,000.00 at Vanderbilt Country Club, while establishing a “good price point” it was the only sale for the week. Rentals (seasonal) have been very strong for Winter 2012. I have nothing available over 1800 square feet, whether Coach, Carriage, Villa, or Estate Homes. If you know of any units please let me know!

GOOD NEWS:

I had 3 walk-throughs lined up at Heritage Bay this morning in building #22. The significance for all of us is that building #23 is the last building they will build, scheduled to close in November 2011.

LAST WEEK’S VANDERBILT COUNTRY CLUB BOARD MEETING:

There were 6 resident REALTORS present, and the discussions were wide open, frank, and free ranging. For those wanting an update on LRP please check the VCC web site. If you have any questions, feel free to post them below or you can e mail me for more information.

I have all the details for each of these properties and can send them out if you need specifics – call me (239/850-1366) or email me. Have a great week, Labor Day is coming up, so things could start to pop.

They are arranged alphabetically, so just scroll down the PDF document till you find your Community of interest. Then, if you want to see what changed since last week, open the changes report for that Golf Course.

3.      LAST ORDER OF BUSINESS. TREVISO BAY The response to the special offer I extended to our readers regarding the Laces of Love/St. Paul’s Orthodox Church (across from Heritage Bay) has been fantastic, and I was told by our hosts, Lennar Homes of Florida to limit the offer to 2 more foursomes (8 players) Here is the deal:  Register for the Golf Outing, lunch prizes, 18 hole scramble, and Prime Rib Dinner ($125.00) and get an introductory round at the grand opening of the TPC TREVISO BAY (cart fees only) That is why I only have the very few limited openings remaining. First come first serve, no favorites here with the “Bear”.

Finally! Full Bundled Golf Naples FL Weekly Real Estate Reports

New easier to use format.

Example #1… If your interest is Heritage Bay, and you just want a quick fix on any movement in the last week, just open the Heritage Bay file. It will show you what changed in the last 7 days.

Example #2…If you look at the spread sheet below,  let’s say Vanderbilt Country Club which shows 2 new listings and 1 sale. Just a quick look at the Vanderbilt document will show you what these were.

While the overall economy seems to be under distress, I feel that things will get a little better for the sellers as Lennar Homes proceeds to build out of Heritage bay. Expected turnover late 2011 to First quarter 2012. That window will close as they proceed to launch Treviso Bay, converting it from a TCP course to Bundled Golf. Don’t forget that they purchased the original note from the Bank at 10 cents on the dollar!!!  I have always had the benefit of complementary golf with this developer.

Anybody signing up for the Laces of Love/St. Pauls Church Charity Golf outing October 29th, 2011 will also get a round of golf at Treviso Bay when it reopens. For more information on this worthwhile affair, please contact my sister via email Elaine Thomas $125.00 includes golf, lunch, prizes, raffles, Prime Rib Buffet Dinner  (Heritage Bay) +++ 1 Round at Treviso Bay (not including cart fee of $20.00)

Back In The Saddle! Bundled Golf Naples FL Weekly Real Estate Reports

I am about 60% of the way through rehab regarding the hip replacement, and I have just been notified by the makers of Wyldfyre Real Estate software that they have finally fixed the problem that has kept me from sending these regular reports out. I managed to keep these reports going consecutively for about 314 weeks, except for the hip replacement of October 2010. Thank you for everyone’s patience, and I really appreciated that these reports were missed.

WAS IT THE REPORTS or WAS IT THE $50 DINNER CERTIFICATES?

Bundled Golf Naples FL May 31st Weekly Real Estate Report & New Trivia Question

New listings and new sales were just about balanced for the week, and if we can see a 6 to 8 week period of this kind of equilibrium, it would auger well for pricing. A little good news, at least for this week!

We finally had a winner in the trivial pursuit category, and I am pleased that it was actually someone who I know, and even better, someone who I really like.

Winston Churchill said this is the beginning of the end of the disastrous home market, or the end of the beginning of the crash. Whichever, we are getting closer. Notice in the charts below.

• The number of price reductions is down to its lowest level
• New listings exceeded sales by 4 units

There were only 4 closings reported for the week just ended. The lowest was $99,900.00 at Glen Eagle CC. This was a non-golf unit.

The winner of last week’s trivia question is Mr. and Mrs. O’Connor residents of Naples Lakes Country Club. They will receive $50.00 McCormick & Schmick dinner coupon. This week’s trivia question below table.

Bundled Golf Naples FL Real Estate Update

I have only missed preparing this report one time in 4 years that was the week of my hip replacement surgery. The list of subscribers keeps growing, and my business is prospering. A very special thank you for all the referrals! I could not imagine what it’s like to not have that steady source of introductions.

We are approaching a shift in the sands. Some communities are experiencing a surge in activities, and a proportional reduction in inventory levels. The 2004 boost in pricing started south at Cedar Hammock, and Naples Heritage. Pelican Bay seems to be ahead of the curve, with selection is becoming very limited.  Naples Heritage, Cedar Hammock, and Heritage Bay all have very limited inventory. Other communities are lagging in sales, such as Forest Glen, Cypress Woods and Vanderbilt Country Club. REMEMBER A RISING TIDE RAISES ALL BOATS.
