Was That A Purpe Pike That I Just Saw? - 03/26/07 08:35 PM
Now I haven't been blogging long at all, (just a matter of months) and I respect my peers who say that even though you have a real estate blog, it's all about content. They say write about interesting things that pertain to your town, your area and that will somehow tie it all in with real estate. Take lots of pictures and incorporate them in with your articles.

Port Royal…An Address Known The World Over - 03/20/07 01:57 PM
Port Royal in Naples, Florida is a community of just 600 estate sized homes situated on a maze of direct-access Gulf of Mexico canals directly south of Olde Naples and Aqualane Shores.
Port Royal has always fascinated me, both from a real estate standpoint, as well as from a community standpoint. When I first came to Naples some 15 years ago, you could have purchased two homes in Port Royal directly on the Gulf of Mexico for less than $1,000,000, and ironically, both homes, although older, were totally livable.

In Naples...We All Must Be Coffee Fanatics! - 03/16/07 04:23 PM
Maybe I show my age, but who would have ever thought that we would be paying $3.00 and more for a cup of coffee. Granted some of the offerings from Starbucks are far more than your normal cup of coffee, but still, what am I missing.
Everywhere you go in Naples, no matter which Starbucks you go to there are lines literally out the door. And the funny thing is that it almost doesn't matter what time of day either. Come to think of it, it's not just Starbucks, it's every coffee shop you go to, 7-Eleven or whoever. It just never ceases to … (4 comments)

Just Another Day In Paradise - 03/15/07 06:52 PM
People, especially other agents, are bemoaning the fact that the real estate market isn't what it was a year and a half ago. Well naturally...the Naples Real Estate Market, like other over-priced areas in the country, could not sustain itself and needed a correction. Continue

Are Naples Home Values Going Up In Smoke? - 03/08/07 07:24 PM
We have become so jaded when we look at the real estate market, that we hardly believe what we are seeing, specifically with regard to home sales.
In 2006,there were 4,500 home resales, which historically, is very consistent with annual trends. The problem is that we all tend to look at 2004 and 2005, the so-called investor-driven years, as benchmarks. We forget that these years the real estate market was not normal in any way, with its nearly vertical climb upward. Continue
