Aqua Naples Florida

If you aren't already familiar with Aqua a high-rise condo located in the Pelican Isle Yacht Club community in North Naples, maybe now is the time you should be. Aqua is a state of the art condo completed in 2008 featuring all of the latest technology with a beautiful stream lined modern appeal. This resort style community's financial stability had been in question for quite some time and rightfully so.

Naples area Realtors are reporting busy schedules, happy buyers and happy sellers. The "everybody's looking for a deal" tone has subsided somewhat and some people are just happy to be buying and selling again. One agent reported some of her traffic due to a direct correlation to the recent results of the Massachusetts election. Some buyers are finding their first selection going under contract before they make the decision to write an offer, forcing them to locate another property to purchase. Most price ranges seem to be busier than last year at the same time.
