Biltmore at Bay Colony Naples Florida

Biltmore at Bay Colony has had a tremendous year! Here are the current stats:


That means there's only 6 months of inventory in Biltmore at Bay Colony right now. 

While we're on the topic of decor...let's talk about decorative borders.  You know those silly 6 to 9 inch strips of wall paper we used back in the 80's to decorate the top couple of feet of our walls most commonly found in our kitchens and bathrooms. This is a good time to just let it be known that if you have that....it needs to go...sorry.  When buyers ask me for properties that have been updated and I see those borders, 9.9 times out of 10 that listing gets knocked off the must see list...unless there's nothing else to show.  Of all the different things we can do to update a property a little paint can go a really long way in making a unit look SO much better and it's one of the least expensive updates you can do. Besides looking better, paint can also give your unit that, "just been painted" smell and believe it or not some people feel the same way about that as they do that, "new car smell". 

If you're considering purchasing in Biltmore at Bay Colony, pricing has appeared to go up a little. (Can't really blame them) I also see where the average list price to sales price ratio is at a higher than Pelican Bay average coming in at 94% so don't expect to do a whole lot of bickering unless you and/or your REALLY SMART AGENT can put together a compelling negotiating plan.  There are some units that don't require a complete remodel available here which is worth a little something to most Bay Colony buyers.  There's also a nice cross section of opportunities here too so if you like a high floor, a low floor or even something in between, you can find that now. Lastly, you have 6 Biltmore at Bay Colony comps to analyze to make sure you're not overpaying when you go in to negotiate.  Call me today to get started!

If you're considering selling your Biltmore at Bay Colony unit, you might want to consider sprucing up if you have an original unit or staging your property to sell for maximum price.  Much of your competition has caught on to the concept of staging and if you have not, you'll want to call me to find out more about this.  You might be able to ask a few more dollars for your unit depending on what you have to offer but make sure you don't overprice your property or you may find yourself sitting there for awhile.  Also, get on the market within the next month or so if possible.  Many people have already started their Bay Colony searches online and will be making their showing selections shortly and you don't want your unit to be missed.  Let's get going now so we can get your property sold this season!

That concludes the Biltmore at Bay Colony good news.  Give me a shout when you're ready for me to help you out more!
