Pelican Bay Naples Florida Update

Hello Naples Florida Fans!

Here's a quick update about Pelican Bay!

According to MLS the inventory in Pelican Bay is LEVEL! Whoo Hoo! This means there's (almost exactly) 12 months of inventory available on the market. While this is good news this report might be a little unfair since I fully suspect the inventory to increase considerably during the next few months in preparation for season but the inventory across the board in Pelican Bay is level now which is something I haven't been able to claim in quite some time.

Actual Pelican Bay real estate statistics are as follows:
309 Active Pelican Bay listings
303 Closed during the past 12 months
13 Pending

Last year 212 Pelican Bay properties had closed by this date.
This year 249 Pelican Bay homes and condos have closed.
That's a 15% increase in sales...AWESOME!

Let's do a breakdown on Pelican Bay product:

Pelican Bay Low Rise Condos
:
76 Active
103 Closed during the past 12 months
5 Pending
Pelican Bay low rise condos are under-supplied! There's not even a 9 month supply of Pelican Bay low rise condos available.

If you are a buyer, you are not alone. It is wise to purchase with a professional negotiator to assist you. The average list to sales price ratio is currently 92%. Expect that to tighten if inventories continue to shrink and expect prices to rise. I can assist you with this :).

If you are a seller, CONGRATULATIONS! You stuck it out and it may pay off for you. This is not a time to be greedy though as smart pricing is still the key! Make sure you list your property with a Fabulous Realtor who can assist you with details that can put more money in your pocket and take less time. Call me for details.

Pelican Bay Mid Rise Condos
:
28 Active
19 Closed during the past 12 months
4 Pending
Pelican Bay mid rise condos are over-supplied! there's still almost 18 months of Pelican Bay mid rise condos on the market.

If you are a buyer, you still have some good talking points when negotiating. If you don't know what those are, that's why you hire someone awesome, like me. :)

If you are a seller, and you can hang tight, I would. If you want to sell anyway, price is going to be key and condition. If you are best priced and best looking, you can still get it done. If you are even better priced and worst looking you can still get it done but you want to hire someone who knows how to put the buyer for your unit on paper! Call me!

Pelican Bay High Rise Condos:
155 Active
116 Closed during the past 12 months
9 Pending
Pelican Bay high rise condos are still over supplied! (16 months of inventory) This is down substantially compared to past analysis.

If you are a buyer, you still have some good talking points when negotiating and if you will consider doing some redecorating that could work out in your favor...if you are an entity that likes to do this for extra income...there are opportunities for you. Give me a shout and we'll discuss best options.

If you are a seller, price is still key and condition helps ALOT too! Make sure you do the things possible to make your unit stand out and make sure your priced accordingly and you should be able to get the job done. I can help if you choose to go that direction!

Pelican Bay Villas:
24 Active
35 Sold during the past 12 months
4 Pending
Pelican Bay villas are still under-supplied as they have been for some time. With barely 8 months of inventory, pickings are slim.

If you are a buyer, the past 12 month historical statistics show the average list price to sales price is 89% I would expect this number to increase and prices to increase as well...If you want a better shot at getting a great deal, call me.

If you are a seller, CONGRATULATIONS. Your competition is few but you will still want your Pelican Bay villa to look great and be priced well for the highest return. Call me for details!

Pelican Bay Homes:
24 Active
30 Sold during the past 12 months
2 Pending
Pelican Bay homes are under-supplied! There's less than a 10 month supply of inventory here.

If you are a buyer, most of the Pelican Bay homes currently available need remodeling. There are a few that have already been remodeled selling for a premium right now. There are still some negotiating points that can help you get a good price even with the low inventory. Call me for help.

If you are a seller, it may be advantageous for you to do some remodeling before putting your home on the market but BEWARE if you short cut your remodel with poor material choices or unprofessional work, it could hurt your more than help you. If you have the ability to do some tasteful updating you might get a premium for your effort. Call me for details!

That's Pelican Bay Naples Florida in a nutshell! Hope you enjoyed the Pelican Bay update and if you have any questions or want more help, just give me a shout!

Best Regards,

Shannon Lefevre, PA
