Mediterra Naples, Florida Market Update!

Whoo Mediterra has seen some serious after season success this year! Here's the Mediterra Naples current status:



Mediterra Market Snap Shot:
Active: 80
Pending: 9
Closed Past Year: 55

The biggest talking point of all is the reduction in inventory. Just two months ago there was roughly 30 months of inventory while today the neighborhood sits at about 17 months. More properties sold this post season compared to last year but that was a large result of buyers putting their foot down in demand for better deals. Some negotiated way better than others but overall, the market performed a few bucks up a foot compared to last year's results so all that waiting around may not have done much for the buyer's bottom line and likely cost the seller more in holding costs to stand firm during season.

Mediterra Buyers: You should know you have a little more muscle compared to years past. Your best deals are likely going to come from older homes though so don't expect huge discounting off the new stuff. That's still selling at a pretty good rate.

Here are the Mediterra neighborhoods where you can find some great deals:
Here are the Mediterra neighborhoods where you can find some really amazing properties:

Mediterra Sellers: Competing with new construction can be difficult especially if your home is showing signs of aging. I don't think this is the year where it's wise to take your property off the market and wait til October though because several Mediterra neighborhoods don't have much to choose from and buyers looking during the summer are considerably more serious about buying opposed to those looking during season. If you couple motivation to purchase with less inventory, that can be the ingredients you need to sell. Call me for more details regarding a more detailed selling strategy to help you accomplish the goal of selling your Mediterra property!

Mediterra ~ Naples Golf Course Community Update


Mediterra Naples, Florida is holding her own as far as Naples real estate sales are concerned but there are definitely some locations where you might be able to get some great deals! I'll run through the Mediterra neighborhoods here to be more specific.

Amarone at Mediterra:
If you like Amarone at Mediterra, you're out of luck. There's only been one Amarone sale over the course of the last year. If you own a home here, now would be a great time to list!

Bellezza at Mediterra:
The Mediterra subdivision is stable with 3 sales and 3 Bellezza homes for sale. But I see one terrific buying opportunity in here right now. If you like Bellezza, you should check them out!

Bello Lago at Mediterra:
One of the most luxurious communities in Mediterra, Bello Lago at Mediterra has 2 on the market at this time. They've been on the market for quite awhile so you should be able to do some fair negotiating here since nothing has sold during the past year here!

Benvenuto at Mediterra:
With only 11 homesites here, it's not often Benvenuto homes hit the market but there's one available now! Golf course and lake views combined with amazing architecture, you should check it out!

Brendisi at Mediterra:
Brendisi is one of those more affordable locations you should really be checking out right now if you're looking for a deal! There are currently 5 on the market and with only 1 sale during the past year, there are some excellent negotiating points if you're a buyer. There's only been one price reduction there so far but with 5 years of inventory, that shouldn't prevent you from getting a discount at the offer table.

Buonasera at Mediterra:
If you like Buonasera, you're out of luck right now too. There aren't any on the market right now. If you own property in Buonasera, now would be an excellent time to list. Call me for details!

Cabreo at Mediterra:
Barely tipping the point into an over-supplied inventory with 3 sales during the past year and 4 Cabreo homes for sale, you CAN find a deal here. In fact, if you're a deal hunter, you should check out the current inventory!

Calabria at Mediterra:
Calabria at Mediterra is another affordable location within Mediterra and with 6 homes on the market and only 2 sales during the past year, that has tipped the market to the buyers once again. There's a screaming deal in there right now!

Celebrita at Mediterra:
With only 7 lots in Celebrita there's still quite a bit going on here percentage wise. One sale during the past year and one currently on the market. If you like courtyard style homes, you should take a peek!

Cellini at Mediterra:
You're out of luck here too. Only one sale during the past year and nothing on the open market. If you want to sell your Cellini at Mediterra home, now would be a great time to hit the market!

Cortile at Mediterra:
Whoa, pricing should be coming down here with 2 years of inventory but evidence of only on price reduction is currently proving otherwise. If I were a buyer and loved Cortile, I might try but if I wasn't being accommodated, I might move on to another neighborhood in Mediterra.

Felicita at Mediterra:
2 sales and 2 Felicita homes on the market make this a perfectly balanced neighborhood. If you're a seller, I'd watch your traffic and your market time to determine if it's time to do a price reduction.

Il Corsini at Mediterra:
If you like Il Corsini you have one choice! This has been a pretty successful neighborhood with 4 sales during the past year!

Il Trebbio at Mediterra:
Another perfectly balanced Mediterra neighborhood with 1 sale and 1 home on the market and even though it's price is higher, it's a better price per square foot deal. Check it out!

Lucarno at Mediterra:
Holy smoke! There are 8 Lucarno at Mediterra homes on the market right now but there have been 7 sales during the past year. 4 Lucarno homeowners have responded to the market with price reductions telling me some of these sellers are responsive to an offer. This is a great place to hunt for deals!

Marcello at Mediterra:
Marcello is a healthy neighborhood with 5 sales during the past year and 3 homes on the open market but prices might be starting to fall based on a couple of price corrections I see. This could be great news for a buyer!

Milan at Mediterra:
Milan has experienced some nice success with 2 sales this year and only 1 on the market. There very well could be a deal to be had in here right now!

Monterosso at Mediterra:
Monterosso has seen some pretty good success during the past year with 8 sales and Monterosso home owners know it. While it's one of the more affordable locations within Mediterra there may be better deals to have in another location. If you like Monterosso then check out the 4 currently for sale.

Padova at Mediterra:
Padova at Mediterra  is a perfectly balanced neighborhood with 3 sales and 3 homes on the market but that one guy is going to make it hard for you to walk away if you're looking for terrific value. If you're in the market for a home in Padova, you're going to want to check out what's for sale here.

Porta Vecchio at Mediterra:
5 Porta Vecchio homes on the market with 4 sales pushes Porta Vecchio into the over-supplied inventory section by 1 listing but there's one listing in there that realizes the market and wants to make something happen. If you didn't want to break the bank with your purchase in Mediterra, you should check out Porta Vecchio!

Positano at Mediterra:
3 active listings and only 1 sale during the past year makes this Mediterra a bit of a sleeper. If you like newer homes it's worth checking it out but I'd be super careful with negotiations here right now.

Ravello at Mediterra:
This market is showing some of the same attributes as Positano with 3 homes on the market and only one sale. If lengthy market times weren't suggestion enough, it might be time to do some price corrections here. If I were a buyer, I might be checking out some other areas within Mediterra.

Savona at Mediterra:
There's only 1 on the market in Savona right now with no sales during the past year. This is one of those neighborhoods that kiss the upper end so don't discount it if you're planning on spending between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000!

Teramo at Mediterra:
There's only been one sale in Teramo this year but there aren't any listings either so slam dunk on that. If you're thinking about selling your Teramo at Mediterra home, you'd be the life of the party there.

Terrazza at Mediterra:
They had a party in this location too. 2 sales occurred here and that party is over for now. There are no active listings here today. Check back mid to late October to see if there's anything new!

Treviso at Mediterra:
You missed this party too. There was one sale during the past year and nothing on the market. Keep looking elsewhere.

Verona at Mediterra:
Hey, party is still raging here with 3 active listing. One guy wants to make sure you hit his house first with a sizeable reduction in price. If you like Verona, this might be a good chance to make a deal.

Villalago at Mediterra:
There's been 2 sales here and there are 2 on the market. Market times might be suggesting it's time for both of those sellers to enter the ring and duke it out for the next buyer. It will be interesting to see which one goes first though. Two completely different styles will appeal to two completely different buyers here. I'd love to know which one you like more!

Villoresi at Mediterra:
There's 2 years of inventory on the market here and while 3 homeowners have responded with price reductions, I don't know if those discounts will be enough to send current buyers over the edge. There's definitely a battle on the street for eyeballs but I don't know if they're trying hard enough to attract your attention as a buyer.

Ok, that's all for now. If you would like to see any of these Mediterra listings, we'd love to help you out and if you're thinking about selling your Mediterra home, maybe it's time to get aggressive!

Naples Real Estate Update

Hello Naples Friends! 

I want to quickly catch you up to speed with what I've been seeing and experiencing regarding Naples real estate so far this season.  Here it is...

1.  The general consensus is the tables have clearly turned in most Naples markets regarding seller confidence. (Even if evidence on paper does not fully prove full recovery)  Naples real estate negotiations are geared more in favor for the seller than the buyer at this time.  If you are a statistics person, you may find yourself a little disappointed regarding a seller's response in a negotiation as owners are tightening their positions on percentages off list prices and concessions.  Many of the negotiations I've dealt with this year have been trying at times and in some cases unsuccessful as some buyers still find an element of skepticism regarding the strength of our economy etc. while determining which way to go on their deal. 

2.  I found a large influx of stock market based professionals sniffing around Naples real estate in January. I worked with 5 professionals myself many of which were involved in hedge fund type business.  While the feeling was unanimous about uncertain economic conditions, I found some buyers tried to use that as a negotiating tactic (unsuccessfully) while others pulled the trigger and got their deal.  I thought this was a very curious wave through our market since many of the people I talked to felt like we are due another stock market correction sometime this year. This makes me wonder if that's why they're looking at repositioning some of their personal equity here.

3.  Even with the level of uncertainty I've seen, there is still positive traffic occurring in the Naples real estate market at this time. Here are the statistics for Naples properties that closed between January 1 to February 5th 2013 compared to last year:


  1.  Naples sales were up 3% this January compared to last.
  2.  Naples sales are up 38% for the first few days in February compared to last year. 
  3. Naples property sales listed at one million and above are up 6% compared to last year.
  4. Average list price to sales price ratio for Naples property increased 1.5% to 94.9%
  5. Market time dropped 5%
  6. Average list price increased 17%
On a side note I think it's curious I'm seeing a very tiny slight uptick in contract back outs this year...is that due to uncertainty or buyers feeling slighted when it comes time to negotiate repairs??? I'm not sure...


4.  Other big changes I've seen this year that won't be counted on paper is the seller's willingness to do repairs at their expense.  While some sellers will fix everything on an inspection report because they feel it is the right thing to do, some are now saying no to additional expenses.  For the past several years sellers have been willing to do just about anything to keep their deal together.  I've seen many instances this year where the seller was unwilling to do repairs at their expense.  This is something you need to take in account as a small percentage of people expect to use property condition as a time to renegotiate or achieve further concessions.  Repair concessions might be considered a bonus going forward.

5.  There's 93 new homes on the market right now!  I just hit the launch in Quail West and Mediterra last week.  There are some neat new design and materials they're using and it's definitely worth it to check out what's going on in the models if you get a chance.  Other locations where you can find a fabulous new Naples home is:
1.  Aqualane Shores
2.  Audubon
3.  Coquina Sands
4.  Escada at Tiburon
5.  Estuary at Grey Oaks
6.  Moorings
7.  Olde Naples (12 to choose from there)
8.  Park Shore (5 to choose from here)

That's all for now! Please remember if you're headed to town and want to hire me to assist you with your purchase to call in advance!  I want to give you the best service possible.

For my northeastern friends, stay warm and safe during this blizzard. 

Best Regards,

Shannon

I'm Here, I'm Just Busy!

After doing some research for a client today, I learned that I really should be posting a little something of interest as often as possible to let you know what I'm doing and why you might want to choose me to be your Realtor. So, here's the latest:

I'm currently working with a client in town from Chicago who is purchasing in Old Naples. I'd tell you more about the house but we're in the middle of negotiating and I don't want to give anything away for them. Ok...one hint...their selection is absolutely FABULOUS. I'll tell more when I can.

Also, I learned that I was featured in an article in Gulfshore Life Magazine this month. If you'd like to read the article in full you can check out your February issue of Gulfshore Life Magazine or read the article here:

I'm also having professional photos taken of my new listing in Contessa at Bay Colony the listing is a beachfront unit on the 10th floor and has been completely remodeled and is B E A U T I F U L! AND...it's priced at only $1,990,000! It is in fact the lowest priced beachfront with Gulfview condo in Bay Colony! CALL ME if you'd like to see it! :)

I'm also doing some investigating for some more buyers who are coming to town on Friday who are interested in Mediterra and Grey Oaks.

Phew, that's all for this evening!

Don't forget, if you're coming in town and you'd like my assistance, please give me as much notice as possible so I can do a fantastic job for you!

Best Regards,
Your Naples Smart Girl!
