naples mls search: Rich Migration Slide to Naples FL - 06/15/10 11:39 AM
Yahoo featured an article on their front page 6/15/2010 citing a Forbes study on where the Wealthiest people in the country are moving - and atop the list, Collier County Florida, specifically Naples. The interesting statistic is slightly more people left than arrived, however, of those who arrived averaged the highest arriving average income per capita.
The information was pulled from IRS data, and the biggest reasons for moving have been Low taxes, warm sunshine and deep discounts on real estate.
Naples real estate certainly provides all three of those important factors to a homebuyer, especially a wealthy one.

naples mls search: Naples Single Family Bargain in Saturnia Lakes - 12/02/09 09:03 PM
Every now and then, a deal comes along that buyers must pay attention to. In the Naples real estate market, most buyers seek vacation and resort style amenities. Only recently have we seen a shift in preferences with more and more buyers seeking more Naples homes for sale, and not the typical Carriage homes. Instead, buyers like the newer communities that have recently tailored to most home buyers wants - guard gate, pool, clubhouse, fitness, tennis, activities, landscaping, safety and neighborhood feel.

naples mls search: Naples REOs Continue Trend - 11/30/09 11:26 PM
In the Naples real estate market, Naples Reo Bank Owned properties, or Naples foreclosures (properties that have already been foreclosed on) continue to demand offers in line with list price. Banks are aggressively pricing their listings to generate interest, and it is paying off. Although the final price is on average less than comps sell for on the resale market, they are moving.

Naples real estate is booming, in large part, due to the increase of Naples FL condo sales, especially the amount of distressed properties and, Naples foreclosures.

The client is inquiring about the solvency (or insolvency) of the community.

I hope they hate snow - Come on Down to Sunny Naples Florida, where it NEVER... I mean...
Naples real estate sales are up, and overall, Naples FL home sales will be different this year. Last night, Naples held its annual tree lighting ceremony during their festival of lights. Everyone gathers in downtown Naples on 5th Ave and the Mayor comes out and does his thing and they light the tree like every other small town in America. Cool, right? Yes. But not nearly as neat as the fake snow generated by a bubbly soap that gives you the feeling it … (0 comments)

The prices have come down so much, I don't want to pay taxes based on the overly inflated prices from before the bust, what will MY taxes be?

I advise my clients that typically, on Naples fl homes for sale, taxes are assessed for Collier County at 1.25% of purchase price.

naples mls search: How can an Illinois baseball team help Naples Florida real estate? - 10/27/09 11:51 AM
Maybe the Chicago Cubs are interested in Naples Florida. Maybe they are simply trying to get a better deal in Mesa Arizona. Regardless of their motivation, it is a rumor worth exploring. If the Chicago Cubs left Arizona to move their Spring Training operations to Naples Florida, the city and surrounding areas would experience tremendous benefits. The club brings almost $50M a year to its current local economy in AZ. Since Naples has many amenities to offer, is already suited to handle tourism with a huge rental market and white sandy beaches, the club could bring even more than $50M to … (0 comments)

naples mls search: I will not massage my Naples FL real estate market numbers - 10/21/09 05:28 PM
I am not massaging the Naples Real Estate market numbers like my colleagues would like me to. I have read countless articles and saw local southwest Florida news channels report on the numbers. It all sounds great, but my clients are not idiots. They are skeptics, they are smart and they are educated. They look at me askance when I cite a statistic. They usually have a "...yeah but, ..." comment that follows my sales statistics. Some say, "Wow, that's interesting." but I know that they are processing it inside their head, seeing through my statistic. They know the difference between … (2 comments)

Since I find more buyers property than any other agent acting as a buyers agent selling Naples real estate, and a good amount of these transactions have been REO bank owned Naples homes for sale, I am often asked, "How much should I offer the bank?"
