Truly one of the best waterfront opportunities in Naples Florida.

Custom details throughout include high ceilings, large closets, a fabulous laundry room, luxurious master bath, and pocket sliders leading out to the lanai. The southern exposure homesite is situated on a lovely tree-lined street and faces an oversize channel that leads right out to Naples Bay, The Gulf of Mexico and  The10,000 Islands!

Season is Not Over!

Naples Housing Market Remains HOT Heading Into Summer!

Naples Real Estate saw record breaking increases this season. Now, here we are, nearing the end of May, and we are still pretty busy. I had two buyer's over the weekend, both had been here during the winter...they came back to buy!  The summer promises to be just as active, as stated in the attached article from this week's press release in The Naples Daily News. Click here to read the story: Naples Bullish On Summer Real Estate Market.  The Naples Area Board of Realtors referred to the housing market as experiencing a "trifecta factor": 1. Low Inventory 2. Days-On-Market Average Decreasing 3. Median Home Prices Increasing.

To view the entire report, please go to:  NaplesArea.com

Naples has traditionally been a seasonal market...All indicators favor strong demand over the next few months. Even our rental agents are seeing an increase in summer reservations. I've had several calls myself from North Easterners, who normally vacation on the Jersey Shore, looking for alternative destinations. All price points are being effected by the "trifecta factor", entry level condominiums on up to the most exclusive Previews luxury residences. As always, even Naples real estate is local, so if you are looking for a specific community, please call on the team of professionals at NaplesRealEstate.com to assist you. 239-370-0574

Need vs. Desire

Would you like to have some Naples Real Estate in your shopping cart?

Vacation and resort destinations have an entirely different set of rules when it comes to 'buyer urgency' when compared to other markets. Jerry Murphy, managing broker at The Park Shore Coldwell Banker office, always says, "There are two kinds of buyers in the world...those that 'need' to buy and those that 'desire' to buy". That goes for just about anything...real estate is no exception. Here in Naples, the vast majority of the buyers we work with are those 'desiring' a new home or condo. Obviously, it is easier to sell to someone who needs something...regardless of the price tag, big or small: Whether purchasing a new dress for an upcoming event vs. browsing the rack at a local department store for fun...shopping for a car because your lease is up vs. looking for a sports car because you've always wanted one...OR buying a home due to a job transfer vs. visiting Naples Florida and wanting a vacation home; the motivation or lack thereof remains the same with any of the above purchase comparisons. I think this might be one part of the equation that sellers sometimes forget to factor in during negotiations. In many cases they "need" to sell, but the prospects looking at their properties are just "desiring" a vacation home.

If you would like to have some sunshine and palm trees in your shopping cart, please contact one of the members of The Harris Peppe Team at 239.370.0574 today! It is their privilege to help you find your heart's desire here in paradise! Give them your real estate wish list and you'll be on your way!

Thank you, and make it a great day!

Select Vendor of the Week

MARTIN"S COOLING & HEATING, Inc.

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Martin's Cooling and Heating, Inc. We recently hired them to do service work at our own personal residence. All the employees were hard working, personable and skilled. We have hired them many times before, and have referred them to many of our Naples customers over the years. They always do a fabulous job. They are reliable, and set a high business standard both in their job performance and knowledge of the industry, as well as their ethics. Their prices are very competitive..their website states that their main goal is to provide quality service and honest pricing.

The fact that they are a family owned and operated business is just one more reason why we feature them on the Select Vendor list on the home page of our website: NaplesRealEstate.com Please feel free to contact them today to find out how they can help you to improve the air quality of your home or condo. You can schedule a service call directly by logging onto their website: MartinsCooling.com or by calling them directly at 239.430.1685

A good rule of thumb is to change your air filters on the first day of each month, or on the day your electric bill comes in the mail as a reminder! Now, that's a "cool" idea!

Hope you are all having a great day, and remember, if you need anything related to The Naples Real Estate market, please give us a call: 239.370.0574

Naples Waterfront Real Estate

What's happening on the water in Naples Florida?

There is a very limited supply of new construction homes for sale in Naples Florida. Currently there are a total of 2,585 homes for sale in all 'NA' zones in Naples according to our local multiple listing system, SunshineMLS. When doing a search of the Naples MLS for single family homes presently for sale that have been completed in the year 2011 there are only 109. Interestingly enough, when I reduce that search down and request only those homes found on the water with direct gulf access [no bridges], again built in 2011; there are only TWO single homes, currently Active in the MLS, that are ready for occupancy! One is located in Port Royal listed at $8,450,000, and the other is in Royal Harbor [address links to a virtual tour and additional information and photos] located at 2178 Tarpon Road which is being offered at $2,890,000. That's it! TWO houses! If I extend that search to include homes built since 2005, using the same criteria: waterfront with direct gulf access, there are only 15 currently for sale in Naples! These range in price from the mid-$2 millions up to $14,900,000. Then, even if I recalculate and go back to homes built since 2000, there are still less than 30 homes currently for sale in Naples with direct gulf access. So, if you are looking to buy a brand new construction home on the water, and you don't want to go through the process of building, your choices are limited. The good news is, the homes which are available for immediate occupancy are exquisite.

I invite you to contact us today to get a preview of these lovely residences. Or perhaps you would like to do your own research first. If you click on this highlighted link you will be directed to a landing page on our "Naples Previews" website which allows you to view Luxury homes and condos in Naples Florida in boating communities with prices starting at $1 million and up.

For information, a private showing, or a color brochure with floor plans of any of these homes please call The Harris Peppe Team today. 239.370.0574
