Carlysle at Bay Colony

Carlysle at Bay Colony has some recent exciting news.  Here's the latest Carlysle at Bay Colony statistics:

• Carlysle at Bay Colony condos for sale = 3
• Carlysle at Bay Colony sales during the past 12 months = 1
• No pending Carlysle at Bay Colony condos are pending at this time.

Bucking what seems to be the topic of the month is the fact that Carlysle for much of the year was sold out with it's one and only listing available for the 2011 season going under contract in early February and closing in April. 

On the surface there appears to be 3 years of inventory in Carlysle at Bay Colony. I have to admit, that's not a fair picture.  You can't sell what isn't for sale....well you can but that's a blog for a different day.  Seriously though the first listing in preparation for the 2012 season or perhaps sooner went on the market in September with two more hitting the scene this month and let me tell you....there's a REAL beauty in the mix!  I really think there's something for everybody here and priced pretty well for the most part.  You should take a peek at the current Carlysle at Bay Colony condos for sale if you're remotely interested.

If you're thinking about buying Carlysle at Bay Colony: You want to come early if you want your pick of the litter and knowing many of Bay Colony's most fabulous fans, I have a sneaking suspicion one of those is really going to knock your socks off.  I don't really expect it to be on the market long so let's do it today before it's gone or you find yourself in a bidding war.  Bidding wars are only fun for the seller (usually) and let's face it, when you're the one bellying (is that a word?) up to the bar, you want to be treated as you should and that's really hard to do when there's more than one of you at a time.  With a 90% list price to sales price ratio it's going to take alot more than a "poor economy" spiel to get the deal you're looking for and with my 5 point negotiating plan you may have a better shot.  Call me today and let's GO :)

If you're thinking about selling in Carlysle at Bay Colony:  Price well.  Look pretty and hire a listing agent who knows how to smile! You want your magnificent place represented by a smart agent who knows how to do it and since there's competition now, it doesn't hurt to be pleasantly aggressive. You want someone who knows how to attract ready, willing and able buyers and buyers who are happy to be purchasing in Bay Colony.  You don't necessarily want to sign up with someone who knows how to open the door to your home as readily and excitedly as they do all their other listings which are by the way, your neighbors.  Call me today for more ways to a smooth sailing transaction!

Chateaumere at Pelican Bay Update

Hello Naples Fans!
I'm going to do a double post regarding Chateaumere at Pelican Bay and Chateaumere Royale at Pelican Bay for your viewing pleasure today! Here's the current Chateaumere real estate statistics:
Chateaumere at Pelican Bay:

• 6 Chateaumere at Pelican Bay condos are currently for sale.
• 1 Chateaumere at Pelican Bay condo is under contract.
• 2 Chateaumere at Pelican Bay sales have occurred during the past 12 months.

Chateaumere Royale at Pelican Bay:

• 2 Chateaumere Royale at Pelican Bay condos are currently for sale.
• 4 Chateaumere Royale at Pelican Bay sales have occurred during the past 12 months.

This is a good news/not so good news report depending on whether or not you're a Chateaumere at Pelican Bay buyer or seller.  Let's start with the high-fives!
Chateaumere Royal at Pelican Bay: Congratulations on your 4 sales last year! That along with your decision to replace all the glass in the building to current storm code was a magnificent move on your part! Now if we could just work on those fees and pet policy we'd really have something! I do think there's a unit in here being offered at a remarkable price.  It probably won't take you too long to find the deal if you take a peek! 
If you're thinking about buying in Chateaumere Royale:  The list of available properties is short and technically it's a seller's market there right now.  That may show a little on the pricing but that can't stop a smart agent from preparing a compelling plan to help you purchase.  Give me a call today and let's get started. 
If you're thinking about selling in Chateaumere Royale: The odds are in your favor but make sure not all of you jump in at once.  Pricing is still the key here and can be proven with not only historical statistics but current numbers as well.  I can assist you with a winning plan to help you get your property sold this upcoming season!
Chateaumere at Pelican Bay:  There's a bit of an oversupply here and while there's current movement, as a seller I'm not sure I would want to compete unless I was prepared to list at the proper price and/or had something truly magnificent.  There are some obvious non-players in the current market now and a quick peek at the Chateaumere condos for sale will help you uncover who they are.  This is also reflected with the market time rolling in at an average of 294 days (26% higher than Pelican Bay average) and an average list price to sales price ratio rolling in at 88% (3% lower than the Pelican Bay average as a whole).  That means some Chateaumere units are priced a little higher than should be if they want to see some movement.  This is a good time to talk about a healthy listing.  When you're listed with an agent or company who knows how to expose your property to a real group of ready, willing and able buyers, you should be seeing around 3 genuine showings per week on the unit....that is if you're priced correctly.  If you're experiencing fewer showings than that, it could be you're priced inappropriately or perhaps the condition of your unit could use some help.  One thing is certain, you shouldn't be wondering why your property isn't selling but that's a whole other blog post. 
If you're thinking about purchasing in Chateaumere:  There are some nicely remodeled units on the market now and some projects ranging between low 400's and increasing in price to nearly 700k. Let's take a peek and see what hits your funny bone and if you want to take a stab at something, I can help you come up with a brilliant negotiating plan. Give me a shout and let's get started today!
If you're thinking about selling in Chateaumere:  Be prepared to compete aggressively or wait. Call me for the details.
I hope you enjoyed today's Pelican Bay blog post.  If you have any questions regarding Chateaumer at Pelican Bay, I'm happy to assist and I look forward to serving your Naples real estate needs in the future. 

PS~ I just pulled some numbers for one of my media contacts today.  Did you know So far this month Naples new listings are down 36% compared to last year and of the listings that have been taken, nearly 14% of those have either already closed or are currently under contract!  Time to get moving!

Chanteclair Manor at Pelican Bay

Chanteclair Manor at Pelican Bay is having a great year too! 2 Chanteclair units have sold during the past year which means there is only 6 months of Chanteclair Manor at Pelican Bay inventory on the market at this time.  If you've been following my Naples real estate blog, that means we are UNDER-SUPPLIED here. 

This news should not come as a surprise since Chanteclair Manor is considered a Pelican Bay villa community and we all know how under-supplied Pelican Bay villas are throughout the community.  What is surprising though is the average market time in Chanteclair Manor coming in at a whopping 351 days...that's almost a year.  Many people would think, well...it's because those units were clearly overpriced...but were they?  The list price to sales price ratio in the Chanteclair Manor neighborhood is nearly 91% of list.  So the million dollar question today is:

Would you wait a year to get 91% of your list price or would you sell for less to sell faster?

If you're interested in purchasing in Chanteclair Manor:  There's one left.  If that doesn't work for you, check out the other Pelican Bay villas for sale or call me direct!

If you're considering purchasing in Chanteclair Manor:  Let's get together! I can help you with everything from finding the right stager to listing at the right price.
