Naples Florida Open Houses

There may not be another real estate market that embraces open houses like Naples does.  During season, the plethora of emails I receive from agents advertising their open houses and agents looking for open houses to host are out of this world and season is right around the corner!

Naples Open Houses
Because Naples is largely a second, third or fifth home community, alot of people use open houses to get to know our Naples neighborhoods better.  Potential Naples buyers check them out to research pricing, choose a Realtor to buy or sell and even choose a property....sometimes.

The attitude in many other markets is that open houses are a waste of time.  Here, they are a very lucrative business and while some open house hosts sit around in front of the TV, others really know how to work a crowd. 

Naples open house high traffic areas include some Naples golf course communities like Pelican Bay, Pelican Marsh, Mediterra, Audubon, Grey Oaks and now with exciting, new product on the ground, Quail West. The highest open house traffic areas though are those locations lining the beach, Port Royal, Coquina Sands, Moorings, Park Shore, Pelican Bay and even Vanderbilt Beach.

If you're thinking about listing your Naples property and you're in one of the key Naples neighborhoods where open house traffic is ample, you'll want to list with an agent who knows how to hold a successful open house.

If you're in town trying to figure out which location is the best place to park your sandals, maybe you should check out some Naples open houses! Afterall, it's free and while there are many days perfect weather should be spent on a Naples golf course or on one of Naples's pristine beaches there will be some days better spent Naples property shopping!

There are over 80 homes and condos open today in the Naples Florida area.  Check them out here: Naples Open Houses
