Carlton Place at Pelican Bay Update

Carlton Place at Pelican Bay has experienced a fabulous year...Here are the Carlton Place at Pelican Bay real estate statistics:

CONGRATULATIONS Carlton Place for selling out of all available product!

If you're considering a Carlton Place at Pelican Bay purchase:  Give me a shout and let me see if I know somebody who would consider selling at this time or you might consider an alternative Pelican Bay community like Cocobay at Pelican Bay.

If you're considering selling your Carlton Place at Pelican Bay home:  Give me a shout.  Average sales price per square foot in Carlton place is 401/square foot but depending on what you have to offer, yours might be worth a whole lot more.  Call me for all the reasons why and let's get started today!

The real story at Carlton Place at Pelican Bay is about the market time.  The average market time for the units that sold during the past 12 months in Carlton Place at Pelican Bay is 364.5 days....a YEAR on the market does not usually signify a hot market don't you agree?  It's as if they all sat and then they all sold.  BUT as you can see from the results....it could be proof that what my colleagues and I have been chirping about as far as inventory disappearing is true.  I believe I showed each of the units that sold last year at least once or twice and all were special in their own way.  In fact, I nearly sold one of the units to a couple who ended up purchasing in Pinecrest at Pelican Bay instead.  During that process one of the past owners at Carlton Place even had the courage to present an offer to my buyer because of the positive feedback he had received.  It's a technique that could be considered "aggressive" or "out of the box" but it is a super way to encourage a positive engagement with a potential buyer.  Had the home fit the needs of my client it probably would've worked out for them.  Ultimately my client decided he needed to take a stab at a Pelican Bay single family home instead of a Pelican Bay villa which brings to another conversation I recently had with a potential new customer I've been talking to lately. 

Her question she asked recently was whether or not Pelican Bay mid-rise condos were in high-demand and if I show them on a regular basis.  I personally don't show a great deal of Pelican Bay mid-rise condos because not too many of the buyers I've worked with ask for them specifically compared to other types of Pelican Bay properties.  Sometimes buyers aren't 100% sure what they want and have a hard time envisioning what they'll be doing with their time here and who they'll be doing it with.  While some of my clients know they'll be entertaining friends and family a great deal...others are still very much unsure about the details that concern what type of living arrangements will best fit their needs. That's why it's common to show one client a good cross section of several different types of properties so they can get in and, "see, touch and feel" their way into an idea of what they think will work for them.  I can uncover much about their uncertainty through a series of questions I ask but sometimes it actually takes getting inside to actually, "get it".  I remember once talking with a couple who were considering putting their Pelican Bay condo on the market after owning it for a relatively short period of time...if memory serves under 2 years.  She had made a comment about how she had wished her Realtor had been a little more insightful about her needs and how maybe she had made a mistake with going with somebody who may have just been after a deal instead of taking the extra time to make sure they would be happy for their duration in Naples

Many people trade up and down several times within Pelican Bay as their needs and/or wants change not necessarily because they had a crummy real estate agent.  Of course this happens more frequently in an appreciating market than it does in a flat or depreciating market for sure.  You'll find when we work together,  I will actually try to get inside your head and figure out what you want even if you don't even know yet.  I'm pretty good at that and that's just part of the reason why I give GREAT RESULTS!

I hope you enjoyed my Carlton Place at Pelican Bay update.  For more information regarding Pelican Bay or any Naples area, contact me direct!
