naples real estate: Thinking About Auctioning Your Naples Luxury Home?
- 08/09/19 08:05 AM
Hello Naples Friends,
Now that we're seeing some softening in the Naples real estate market, I'm also seeing the return of gimmicky real estate practices, including auctioning as an alternative to traditional real estate sales practices.
In a recent post about Naples real estate auction results, I cover the history of the high-rise Trieste at Bay Colony condominium and the trials and tribulations that occurred during the selling process of this property.
I recap the entire history of Trieste at Bay Colony and give you some insight into what has happened since its inception.
I also talked about what I experienced during the advertised auction … (1 comments)

naples real estate: 1st Week of Pre-Season in Naples, Florida
- 10/09/17 03:54 AM
Good Morning Naples Enthusiasts!
Everybody wants to know how the Naples Real Estate market is going to perform this season. The copy-cat canned response has formulated. Here's how it goes:
"Naples endured a category 3 storm head-on. Much of our structure remained sound with landscaping being the biggest victim. We will get that cleaned up and then people will marvel at how well Naples performed in the wake of what could've been impactful destruction."
I don't think that is as telling as real statistics so let's get started.
Here are the stats:

- 08/25/14 11:29 PM
Hello Naples Friends! As many of you know, Port Royal Naples, Florida is kind of like the "Beverly Hills" of Southwest Florida. Most people love it, few can or want to afford it but it is considered the best location in all of Naples. Let's get started with the basic market trend statistics:

naples real estate: Naples Real Estate Update
- 12/17/13 01:26 AM
Season's Greetings Naples Friends,
I've found it challenging to post this pre-season due to all of the Naples real estate buying and selling traffic we're experiencing. I hope you'll forgive and find this post informative.
I projected this upcoming season was going to be a bit of slug-fest for Naples real estate buyers this year and so far I've been accurate.
I won't bore you with the same details as I've explained in the past several posts about how sellers are less accommodating and buyers are more aggressive and how hearts are breaking throughout Collier County due to multiple offers and somebody losing out but … (1 comments)

naples real estate: Sellers- The Top Isn't Always The Best.
- 10/07/13 03:37 AM
Hello Naples Friends,
There's been quite a shake-up when it comes to which Naples real estate agents are holding the listing lion's share of some of our favorite Naples neighborhoods and Naples lifestyle properties.
It's tough competition to obtain and maintain the lion's share of anything and top listing positions in Naples real estate are no stranger to volatility.
Chances are if you own a Naples luxury property, your business acumen is considerably higher than the typical homeowner's. Most of you are business owners or have made your career doing lots of tasks similar to many of the aspects to which real estate is … (0 comments)

naples real estate: Naples, FL Luxury Golf Insight
- 08/03/13 02:24 AM
It's funny how life introduces new experiences. Lately, there's been a great deal of chatter about golf, which seems weird to me, considering so many people who enjoy golf in Naples typically get out of here during this time of year and head back home...wherever that may be.
I compiled all that chatter into one big fat sign...it's time to learn how to play.
I was introduced to David McQuade, the Director of Golf at Collier's Reserve, quite some time ago by a great friend of mine. I'd heard he was a great instructor, and I knew he had a great personality, so … (2 comments)

naples real estate: Naples Real Estate Update 3/26/13
- 03/26/13 12:57 PM
If I had to use just one word to describe the 2013 Naples Florida real estate season, I might use the word, "heartbreak" or "challenging". 2013 marks the season where sellers recognized they were once again in the driver's seat and buyers had a difficult if not impossible time finding Naples properties suitable for their objective. Here's a compilation of some of my experiences this season and some points you'll want to know about if you are still considering selling or making a Naples real estate purchase.

naples real estate: Bay Colony Naples Florida Week In Review 1-5-13
- 01/06/13 09:37 PM
Happy New Year Naples Friends! The first week of the year is now officially behind us and the Naples real estate high season has officially begun. I'd say the Bay Colony Naples Florida market is not performing at what I would consider a shotgun start but here's what I can report.
There are two new listings that hit the market this week one can be found in Contessa at Bay Colony, the other in Toscana at Bay Colony. There are some really amazing units on the market right now at some pretty decent prices and then well...there are some … (0 comments)

naples real estate: Pelican Bay Market Update 11.28.12
- 12/28/12 11:52 AM
I performed an extensive analysis of Pelican Bay today to help a buyer better explain his price position on his offer. If you've been following my Naples real estate blog or had your ear to the ground here in Naples, you've heard two things repeatedly.
There's no inventory. We're expecting a very busy buying season. With sales steadily increasing, buyers are losing power in negotiations. It's been an interesting pre-season. For example, there were 1,604 sales in Naples, Florida, from October to December 28th last year. This year there were 1,923 (up 18%). That has put a new tone in the … (0 comments)

naples real estate: More Foreclosures Coming To Naples?
- 12/10/12 04:23 AM
The short answer to, "is there going to be more foreclosures in Naples"? Is yes. It's normal for there to be some level of distressed properties in our market. In fact, there are currently 159 foreclosures on the market which represents 2.9% of the overall market.
But if you are primarily interested in Naples luxury real estate, I wouldn't get too excited. There are only 2 properties listed over $1,000,000 that are being advertised as foreclosures. That represents .0003% of the total active Naples real estate inventory. One is in Grey Oaks the other is located in Naples Boat Club. … (0 comments)

Good Day Naples Friends, Tis the season! Naples real estate buying traffic is strong, activity is high and lots of exciting new Naples real estate happenings are occurring...
In fact, I just wrote a magnificent Naples real estate post about how the Naples seller behavior is changing only to realize for the sake of some of my deals on the table, I better not post due to the fact that I would not be writing in the best interest of my current clients. Many times when my posts slow it's because I'm very involved in deals I simply can't write about for the … (1 comments)

Good Day My Naples Friends! The election is over! The President is still the President and you can now get high legally in WA and CO...what a bizarre coincidence! The Naples real estate market shows signs of a fierce premature heat up but buyers might have a new edge in negotiations...

There were 627 sales in the Naples area last year with 48 of those sales listed at $1,000,000+. The highest-priced property sold was listed at $6,950,000.

naples real estate: Naples Buyers ~ Prepare To Duke It Out!
- 08/28/12 08:59 AM
My experience tells me Naples buyers will be encountering considerably more competing for offers this year compared to the last several but the rules on the contracts have changed...I want to hear your thoughts and opinions about it!
With Naples real estate inventories shrinking considerably, Naples buyers are going to find themselves amidst some serious competition this season especially on properties of magnificent appeal and Naples listings that are priced to sell.
...and just in time for the battle, there's an interesting change on our Naples listing contracts.
Here's the Naples Listing Contract Change:
Paragraph H (lines 48-50) of the NABOR Listing Contract now … (4 comments)

naples real estate: Naples Real Estate Now - 7/25/2012
- 07/25/12 07:04 AM
I was contacted yesterday by a correspondent who’s preparing to write a segment on the current Naples real estate market. When she calls I always try to give her accurate, cutting edge information only a few may have already realized. Here’s what I told her:
If last year’s big Naples real estate story was dwindling inventories, this year’s big story will probably be about the turn towards a seller’s market, smaller list price to sales price ratios and higher pricing.
Naples Real Estate Buyers: Get Strategic! Up until now, it’s been fairly easy to march into any Naples neighborhood and find some sort … (1 comments)
