Pelican Bay – Naples, FL – Each morning I read through various trade articles that come my way. Occasionally I share them with you. The one below really hit a cord with me.

Source: 3 in 10 Sellers Say Security Cameras Have Monitored Buyers

Today’s technology makes it possible for Sellers to record showings on their homes. Florida does have rules about recording. If you are a buyer looking at properties remember not to express any opinions about the home you are viewing until you are in the car with your Realtor. You do not want the Seller to know just how much you LOVE their home before you even write an offer.

Sellers, be prepared to hear all sorts of things about your home. The kitchen countertop you agonized picking out until you found the “perfect” one might end up being not so perfect for the buyers coming through your home. Listen to the buyers comments. If every buyer complains about the same thing, you’ll need to change it or offer a credit at closing to compensate. If you do have video and audio recording equipment in your home talk to your Realtor and/or your attorney about the laws involving recording.

As of this morning, there were only 33 listings in the entire complex of Pelican Bay. This should give you some perspective how low the inventory  is in Pelican Bay. Curious about the real estate market? Here are the statistics posted by Naples Board of Realtors for June 2021 . Stats for Pelican Bay would be in the Naples Beach area on page 16.

Wherever you are enjoying your summer, know the beach at Pelican Bay is waiting for your return.

Pelican Bay – Naples, FL – Looking through my trade e-mails this morning, I saw this article and thought I should share it with you. This article discusses how having an older roof may make it harder to find home owners insurance.

Source: Can You Afford a New Roof?

Right now properties are selling so fast it makes one’s head spin. Some of these contracts do not include home inspections because Buyers want to make the deal more appealing to the Sellers. I can see a whole lot of unhappy Buyers trying to find home owners insurance on a house with an older roof. If you are looking for a home, it might not be a bad idea to have an attorney explain what will happen if you cannot obtain homeowners insurance under the contract you’ll be using BEFORE you even write a contract.

Inventory still remains low in Pelican Bay. As of this morning there were only 31 active listings in all of Pelican Bay. The Naples Board of Realtors recently released the June 2021 Statistics .  When you click on the link, scroll down to the Naples Beach section. Pelican Bay is part of this section. You’ll be able to see what’s happening with single family homes and condominium sales.

Even though we are going through our rainy season, our Pelican Bay beach is still a beautiful place to enjoy.

As of today there are 9 active single family homes on the market in Pelican Bay.

Between 2013 and 2014 every single building design saw an increase in price. The first six months of this year saw an increase in price in every building category except for attached villas.

It is apparent that Pelican Bay has a lack of inventory.  I looked back at some of my old blog entries and found this one from 2011.  In 2011, we were averaging around 14 months to absorb all the listings on the market.  Now we have a shortage of listings.

What’s causing this shortage of listings?  While prices have climbed up, some Residents are still holding onto units that they bought at the height of the market. Other Residents have decided to sell their Northern homes and live in their Pelican Bay properties. These scenarios have also contributed to the lack of units for rent and the increase in rental prices.

Pelican Bay is a beautiful place to live. The amount of inquires I receive from Buyers looking to purchase in Pelican Bay tells me that other people also believe this is a beautiful place to live.

Thinking of selling a home in Pelican Bay? Call or e-mail me at 239-594-2780 or Lynn@NaplesBuys.com  I’d be happy to discuss how much your home is worth in today’s market.

Pelican Bay – Naples, Florida – I have just finished compiling the Pelican Bay real estate statistics for the first quarter of 2013. This past season has been a busy one so let’s see how the numbers looks in comparison to the first quarter of 2012. You might be surprised to see what happened!

FIRST QUARTER

# Units Sold

Average Days on Market

Median List Price of Solds

$725,000.00

$525,000.00

% List to Sale Differential

7.04%

7.73%

# Units Not Sold

48

68

With this CMA Statistics Report you can see at a glance that the number of units sold increased along with the median prices.  In addition, the average days on the market has decreased along with the list to sale differential. As of today, there are 190 active listings on the market in Pelican Bay.  Between 3/31/2012 -3/31/2013 there have been 379 closed sales. This means that Pelican Bay has an inventory that could last 6 months.  A “normal” market according to the National Association of Realtors is a market that has a 6 month inventory!

If you take a moment to click on the Closed Listings Report, you will see the popular price ranges stand out.  16 sales were under $399,900.00, while 16 sales were between $1,000,000.00 – $1,499,999.00. That’s a bit over a third of all the 93 sales!

The Market Statistics Report breaks down the sales by building type. Out of the 93 sales that occurred in the first quarter of 2013, FORTY-NINE of those sales were high-rise sales. That’s a little over half of all the sales in the first quarter of 2013!

The Market Statistics Report also shows us that the percentage of unsold listings decreased in every building type except for single family homes and attached villas. Average sales prices for the first quarter of 2013 increased in low rises and attached villas increased as compared to the first quarter of 2012.

Have you been thinking of selling your Pelican Bay property? Based on these figures you may want to think about putting your on the market. Our inventory is decreasing and our sales our increasing.

While we are in the early stages of 2013, this year we have an increase in the number of pending sales.  As of today, there are now 74 properties pending in Pelican Bay.  27 of these properties are in the 500K – 999K price range.  There have been 27 closed sales since January 1, 2013.  15 of these sales are between the 500K-999K price ranges.  This price range has languished over the last few years.

The decrease in the inventory for sale along with the decrease in unsold units is bringing us closer to a normal market. The 2012 Naples Real Estate Report will show you where the Naples Beach areas stand in relationship to the rest of Naples.

Pelican Bay – Naples FL – The third quarter of 2012 real estate sales prices showed a decrease in the average sales prices from the same period in 2011 of all property types except Mid-rise condominiums, Single Family homes and Detached Villas.  Here’s the detail report:

2012 Third Quarter Pelican Bay Real Estate Statistics by Property Type

2012 Third Quarter Pelican Bay Real Estate Statistics by Property Type

To view a clearer imagine of this report or to print this report CLICK HERE.

The good news is that in the 3rd quarter of 2012, Pelican Bay saw an increase in sales to 71 closed sales from 51 closed sales in 2011.  The other good news is that the percentage of properties failing to sell, the expireds, decreased in all property types except for attached villas.  I attribute the decrease in expired listings to Seller removing their properties from the market and the increase in sales.

To view the 3rd Quarter of 2011 Pelican Bay real estate prices CLICK HERE.

I am optimistic about this coming season.  As of today, there are 278 properties for sale in Pelican Bay.  We currently have an inventory of properties that could last 9 months. A “normal” real estate market is said to have an inventory that could last 6 months.

This coming rental season has been exceptionally strong.  I do not handle rentals yet I receive phone calls on a daily basis from potential tenants looking for a 2013 seasonal rental in Pelican Bay.  I feel that these potential tenants will turn into Buyers.  They have been renting waiting for the market to bottom out before they buy.  I predict that this coming season will be a busy real estate market in Pelican Bay.

Will 2013 be the year you decide to sell your Pelican Bay home? With interest rates so low, now is the time to think about moving up to a larger unit in Pelican Bay.

Pelican Bay – Naples Florida – The Naples Board of Realtors recently released the September 2012 real estate statistics.  While these statistics might not be specific to Pelican Bay, it is always a good idea to view the entire real estate market.  Buyers today look at many different areas before making a decision. Let’s take a look at the 12-month period ending 9/2012 for condominiums and single family homes.

CONDOMINIUMS BY PRICE

SOLD PRICE RANGES % OF SALES
$0-$300K 73.5%
$300K – $500K 12.1%
$500K – $1M 9.5%
$1M – $2M 3.7%
$2M+ 1.1%

Median Price increased from $160K to $165K

Average Day on Market increased from 175 to 182

CONDOMINIUMS BY AREA

AREA % OF SALES MEDIAN SOLD PRICE AVERAGE DAYS ON MARKET
Naples Beach 24.7 452K 239
North Naples 29.0 168K 160
Central Naples 19.1 115K 166
South Naples 17.4 115K 168
East Naples 9.8 190K 177

Pelican Bay is considered the Naples Beach area.  By looking at these charts for condominium, you can see that if you have a condo to sell in the Naples Beach area, the median sales price is currently $452,000.00 taking an average of 239 days to sell. As the median sales price in all of Naples is $165,000.00 with 73.5% of all sales under $300,000.00, I think you can see why the market time is so high for the Naples Beach areas.

SINGLE FAMILY HOMES

SOLD PRICE RANGES % OF SALES
$0-$300K 61.9%
$300K – $500K 16.3%
$500K – $1M 12.2%
$1M – $2M 5.9%
$2M+ 3.8%

Median Sales Price increased from $212,000.00 to $229,000.00

Average Days on the Market decreased from 168 to 165

SINGLE FAMILY HOMES BY AREA

AREA % OF SALES MEDIAN SOLD PRICE AVERAGE DAYS ON MARKET
Naples Beach 16.1% 595K 211
North Naples 24.1% 350K 165
Central Naples 19.8% 150K 152
South Naples 12.5% 163K 173
East Naples 26.6 137K 149

Once again, you can see why the market time for the Naples Beach area is so high in comparison to the rest of the market. Since the median sold price in the Naples Beach area is $595K, it is much higher than the median sold price for all of Naples.

The good news in looking at all these reports is that the inventories in both condominiums and single family homes are decreasing in Naples.  Multiple offers are happening in the lower price ranges.

Will 2013 be the year you decide to sell your Pelican Bay home? With interest rates so low, now is the time to think about moving up to a larger unit in Pelican Bay.

Pelican Bay – Naples, FL – Today as I was reading through my on-line real estate articles, I came across these charts that I’d like to share with you.  Keep in mind that Zillow is not the end all in projecting real estate prices (that’s another future blog article) but it provides a gauge to see how the market is headed.  Here are the charts for zip code 34108.  Keep in mind that Pelican Bay is just one of the communities that share this zip code.

34108 Zillow Home Value Index

34108 Median Sale Prices

34108 Median Sale Price

34108 Median Sale/List Price Ratio

34108 Median Sale / List Price Ratio

The above chart shows us that Sellers are accepting prices 7% under their median list price.

While the market in Naples is still driving by the under 300K price range.  I would also say that the zip code 34108 has more activity in the lower price ranges.

It is interesting to note that rentals in Pelican Bay for the 2013 season are hard to find.  I’ve been deluged with potential seasonal tenants calling me asking if I know of a condo for rent in Pelican Bay for 2013 season.  I wonder if the rental market is so tight because people are still hesitant to buy a property.  It has been my experience that people are cautious in buying real estate in an election year.  Maybe after the election we’ll see more activity in the middle price ranges of Pelican Bay.
