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.

Pelican Bay – Naples, FL –  My husband and I have lived in Pelican Bay for 21 years.  We rode out hurricanes Georges, Charlie and Wilma.  When hurricane Irma started to appear on the scene, I took one look at her and said to my husband, Don, ” I have NEVER seen a hurricane like this!  WE ARE OUT OF HERE!”

Don put up our hurricane shutters on September 5th and we were on the road with our friend Rosa on September 6th.  We were headed to Gainesville where we would determine which way we should drive based on Irma’s latest projections. A snail moved faster on I-75 than we did.  A 6 hour drive took 9 hours. By the time we decided to take back roads to I-10 and head West across the Panhandle, we could only located a hotel room in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.  A 8 hour drive took over 13 hours.  If I have learned anything about the evacuation process it is:

  • Scan your important documents into the cloud DAYS before you decide to leave.  I waited to do this the day before I left.
  • Make sure your tank is full of gas before a hurricane gets too close to Florida.
  • Don’t assume any bathroom you might use has any toilet paper or soap.  I was happy I packed toilet paper and Wet Ones.
  • Make multiple hotel reservations in as many cities as you think you might have to evacuate. The first night in Gainesville, I should have started booking hotels north and West of the Panhandle.
  • Take your passports.  You might need them for re-entry.
  • A Costco bag is perfect to store water and sandwiches.

We were gone a total of 11 days.  We had issues getting hotel rooms on our way back to Naples.  We were lucky that our condo sustained no damage in the storm.  Don didn’t want to take the hurricane shutters down until he saw which way hurricane Maria was headed.  As I type this blog entry, Don is taking down the hurricane shutters.

We drove around Pelican Bay today and visited the North and South beaches.  People have been worried how they fared during the storm.  They fared well.  Up and down Pelican Bay BLVD are MASSIVE amounts of tree debris.  The mounds on tree debris remind me of drifts of snow piled so high at an intersection you couldn’t see traffic around the drift!  Here’s some photos I snapped today at the beaches:

All and all I think the beaches look great!  Pelican Bay employees were down at both beaches today fixing and cleaning the pavilions.  I am looking forward to being able to swim in the Gulf again.  I hope that happens soon!

Pelican Bay – Naples, FL –   Did you ever think that living closer to a certain grocery store would affect property values? While reading the article below this morning, I kept thinking about how convenient Pelican Bay is to both Whole Foods and Traders Joe’s.  Property values around these stores are higher in Naples.  Aldi is a bit further East of Pelican Bay and there will be less expensive properties.  Hope you find this article as interesting as I did!

Source: RE investors should look for homes close to ALDI

Inventory in Pelican Bay is pretty scarce.  As of this morning we had:

  • 32 Active Low-Rise Listings
  • 14 Active Mid-Rise Listings
  • 58 Active High-Rise Listing

While we have low inventory, Buyers are still pretty cautious in making a buying decision.

Pelican Bay – Naples, FL –  While you shouldn’t panic if the house doesn’t sell the moment you list it, you should begin to worry if the months start flying by without any real offers.

Source: 11 Reasons Why Your Home Isn’t Selling

The current market we are in is not one where you should get too aggressive with the listing price.  You’ll note the number one reason properties do not sell is due to over valuing the home.  It is so important to have your home priced right.  Buyers are out in the market looking at all sorts of different homes.  Based on what they have seen, they can tell an over priced listing in a heart beat.

Number 6 is also important.  If your home is vacant, it really can benefit from being staged.  A lot of Buyers have no vision when it comes to furniture placement.  An empty home doesn’t convey the “feeling” of a place that has been loved and enjoyed.  Money spent on staging is money well spent.

If you have any questions on these items, please feel free to call me at 239-594-2780 or e-mail me at: Lynn@NaplesBuys.com

Pelican Bay – Naples FL – It’s that time of year again.  If you live in Pelican Bay full-time, you will want to be prepared in case a hurricane strikes. June 2-4 you can shop tax-free for certain hurricane preparedness items.  Here’s an article that gives you information on what you would want to bring to a shelter & what items will be tax-free. I hope you find it helpful.

Source: Prepare for hurricane season with sales tax holiday

One item that I added to my checklist after Hurricane Wilma was a thermos of coffee.  Wilma struck early in the morning & we lost power. Coffee would have been much appreciated that morning.

Memorial Day found the Marker36 beach packed with people out for the BBQ and beach time. My husband and I enjoyed a swim in the 86 degree Gulf waters. The water was crystal clear. We could hear the music brought in for the BBQ while we were in the water. When the “Star Spangled Banner” played, I thought about all the men and women who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. Life in Pelican Bay is good.
