Bundled Golf Naples FL + The Quarry Real Estate Reports & Trivia
Things were a bit quieter this past week, with a larger number of new inventories vs. new sales (23 vs. 18). The traffic counts at the airport are up, hotel bookings are up, and the rentals for next year are almost fully booked.
Trivia Question
The Trivia question for last week has not been settled. Google says that it is longer North South than it is East West. I am having someone (a pilot) plot it on a map, no curves going down to the keys. We may have to declare two winners. Will keep you posted.

I recently came across a wonderful plumber, Erind Cuka, licensed, insured, and bonded. He was a pleasure to work with, did everything on time, cleaned up as he went, and was fair in his pricing

I am very encouraged to see net sales outpace new listings, this week it was 17 to 14. Also, not showing on the report are 2 of my listings at Heritage Bay that went to contract over the weekend. I continue to see a very healthy prognosis for our market. I suspect that the same trends will begin to appear elsewhere in Naples and eventually Nationally. I was the first to advocate Sell fast and Buy slow. I am changing this to a cautious Buy Now, and Sell Slow!!

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.
For all your Bundled Golf Naples FL Rental needs – just Ask the Bear!

Bundled Golf Naples FL Weekly Real Estate Report & Trivia Feb 2012
It has been a pretty busy season so far. We are slowly eating into the inventory. This is a slow process, if you get 2 sales in a community and 1 new listing; the inventory has only reduced by one unit. However the general trend is that we are inching our way to a balanced market.
When using the detailed information at www.BearNaples.com, you can look up the Bundled Golf Naples FL Quarterly report, which reflects a 90-day moving picture of sales and closings for all 8 of the communities. For more details, click on the actual community, say Heritage Bay, and that will reflect only the changes in status, new listings, closings, or price reductions within Heritage Bay, or any one of the 8 communities. We will be adding Treviso Bay and Twin Eagles next week.
Also if you have friends or family wanting this information, have them send me an email, and I will add them to the subscription list.

Bundled Golf Naples FL Weekly Real Estate Report & Trivia 2/20/2012
This has been another good week for sales, for sellers, and for me. Sales have exceeded new listings for 2 out of the last 3 weeks. That is an excellent development. When a community gets below 5% (40 for 800) that will create stability, and below 3% (24 in your typical bundled community), will lead to higher prices.

Bundled Golf Naples FL Weekly Real Estate Report
Inventories rose from 369 to 384. My theory is that the increased sales pace firmed prices upwards in some Bundled Golf Communities, which led to a slight increase in willing sellers. The rate of sales below has not yet reflected the number of showings, which should generate additional sales in the coming weeks.

Bundled Golf Naples FL Weekly Real Estate Report
We are experiencing a tremendous surge in showing activity, some positive numbers (14 sales ) inventory reductions (-1.8% in my sample grouping of Bundled Golf here in Naples Florida 376 units). If this number drops to below 325, we should see some modest price increases. The “DOWN” elevator has to first stop before changing directions and going up. I feel that we are that point. If you have any friends that want their piece of Paradise (NAPLES FLORIDAS CROWN JEWEL), SEND THEM OVER TO ME. I will treat them very well and help them find what they want.
A message to Building 1, Unit 107 (she will know who she is) remember to pick up your envelope.

Bundled Golf Naples FL Weekly Real Estate Reports
The weather has been Chamber of Commerce ‘perfect’: Hotels are full of visitors. Seasonal Rentals are at full occupancy, so things are looking brighter than they have for the longest time. Net sales and new listings are in balance, as you will notice in the charts below. The number of distressed properties flooding the market has diminished appreciably, BUT I caution, not evenly. Some communities still have more than their fair share, and so inventory levels have not receded in these communities. The market did not go ”BOOM” across the board in 2004/2005, nor did it collapse evenly in 2006. This distinction is evident by product types. Condominiums with covered parking are being absorbed at a somewhat slower rate than those with garages (Coach Homes, Carriage Homes, and Verandas)
USING THE REPORTS:
My suggestion, look at the Quarterly report for the community you are interested in. Next week compare the “Changes” report to this report that will show you which properties have had a change in status/price/newly listed etc.
