3 in 10 Sellers Say Security Cameras Have Monitored Buyers

Posted in Buying in Pelican Bay, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 4, 2021| Leave a Comment »


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.

Can You Afford a New Roof?

Posted in Buying in Pelican Bay, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 27, 2021| Leave a Comment »


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.

Naples FL ranked Number 1 in Cleanest Air in U.S.

Posted in Living in Pelican Bay, tagged , , , , , , , , , on March 2, 2017| 1 Comment »


Pelican Bay – Naples, FL – While reading my trade articles this morning, I stumbled across this article from Realtor.come which compared the cleanest and dirtiest cities in the U.S. in terms of pollution. Our Naples, FL came in at number 1 for the cleanest city!

Source: Fla.’s lack of industry compared to some other states and nearby oceans

Did you need another reason to move to Naples? I hail from Chicago. When we first moved to Pelican Bay almost 21 years ago, I was always amazed at the crystal clear blue Naples skies.  We have our rainy days in Naples but we do see lot of sunshine.  The year my husband and I left Chicago we had 30 consecutive days of gray skies.  While Chicago is a beautiful city, I never liked the weather!  Look at how blue the Naples sky can be!

Low-Rise Prices in Pelican Bay 2015 to 2016

Posted in Pelican Bay Real Estate Statistics, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on February 24, 2017| 1 Comment »


Pelican Bay – Naples, FL –  Pelican Bay offers a variety of building designs for its buyers.  A low-rise building design is one with 1-3 floors.  Some low-rises have carports; some have attached or detached garages. There are different views and floor plans to appeal to all sorts of buyers.  Let’s take a look at how the low-rise building design fared in terms of pricing from 2015-2016. 

Average Sales Price Median Sales Price Days on Market
2015 $544,189.00 $492,500.00 113
2016 $589,451.00 $560,000.00 148

In 2015 there were 112 low-rise sales.  2016 saw 91 sales.

As of today, there have been 11 closed sales with an average sales price of $703,818.00 and median price of $755,000.00.  There are currently 19 pending sales with an average price of $656,503.00 and a median price of $565,000.00.  We have 68 active listings that represent an inventory that could last 8.77 months.  A “normal” market has 6 months of inventory.

In 2015 low-rise sellers were obtaining 94.13% of their original asking price.  2016 saw sellers receiving 93.14% of their original asking price.  Since January 1, 2017 sellers are receiving 92.07% of their original asking price.  While low-rise numbers show in increase in sales price, I have seen more listings fail to sell and price reductions than I have seen in a long time.

The 2016 YTD Naples condominium real estate statistics show a slow down in the market for  and an increase in inventory.

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.
