Bay Colony Shores Update

Hello Naples Friends!
While I was remastering the Bay Colony Shores pages of my Naples real estate website, I thought it would be a great time to give you an update.

Currently there are 4 Bay Colony Shores homes for sale and whether they’re sitting on a fabulous lot and a half, have had craftsmanship completed by experts from far away places or  recently and fabulously remastered…there’s something special about each one.
Bay Colony Shores has had two closings during the past 12 months and technically there’s two years of inventory on the market but I wouldn’t let the numbers fool you into thinking you can get some terrific half price deal (just yet).  There’s quite a few extras going on in every one of the current listings so if you’re not accustomed to looking at details you may be disappointed when you begin to consider your negotiations.  As an example let’s consider the age of Bay Colony Shores in general. The large majority of the Bay Colony Shores homes were built in the 90′s and unless they’ve been redone like one on our currently for sale list, then there’s a strong possibility they’re ready for some updating.  I must admit there’s another home in Bay Colony Shores currently for sale that requires very little if any improvements because it was done so well that it will probably attract a large base of people who wouldn’t feel like much was required…hence the price.  So if you keep in mind the level of effort the large majority of the world would require to make it comfortable for them when making your offer then that “should” assist you with your pricing strategy.  I’m going to caution you for a moment here.  Every once in awhile I get a customer who tastes may be extremely particular and may try to use their satisfaction requirements as a cause for discount…it’s a widely unsuccessful approach here in Naples.  That’s why it’s wise to have a Smart Girl like me help you with your negotiation strategy.  There’s probably a better and more successful strategy to use that will help you acquire what you want.
I recently updated the pages of my Naples real estate website concerning Bay Colony Shores in Bay Colony.  From there you’ll be able see all available Bay Colony Shores homes for sale, review Bay Colony Shores past sales information (and even download the whole spreadsheet into your Excel or Numbers program to analyze the sales data further)  and finally you can check out the Bay Colony Shores site plan in full detail. The other thing I want to mention is it’s also not advisable to try to discount features about a property that you don’t personally see value.  For example, if a property is offering a lot and half, that’s clearly going to come at a greater cost.  You may not see value in having the extra elbow room or enjoy a home that offers a more expansive linear footage plan but that doesn’t mean it’s now free to you.
Clearly real estate is more fun for a buyer when there’s countless properties to see and sellers are discounting great levels off their pricing. Everybody wants a deal right?  Let’s be serious though, everybody doesn’t want a deal when it means having to exit a superior neighborhood that offers insurmountable amenities which is why Bay Colony Shores can command such pricing.  There’s only 78 single family homes in all of Bay Colony (by the beach)(12 Strand at Bay Colony homes).  Of those 78, there’s only 4 on the market. Call me, let’s make a move ;)
