Summary of Southwest Florida Gated Golf Community Trends

Overall, the latest golf community trends for Luxury homes throughout Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers show the market for luxury properties continues to reflect the reduction in inventory. There are only a couple of golf communities left with an oversupply of inventory. However, there are still great buying opportunities.

Whether you are considering a single-family home or a condo in a luxury golf community, inventory levels vary by community. A healthy level of inventory is between 6-7 months of supply of properties available. Since each community varies we recommend you use a real estate agent familiar with golf communities to navigate your way through your options.

Here are a couple of examples to show why it is important to have a very good understanding of the community and whether the inventory levels are healthy, or have high or low supply. Collier’s Reserve only has 2 properties for sale and only 1.71 month’s supply of inventory which makes single family homes in this community a seller’s market. On the flip side, if you were looking for a single family home in Mediterra, there’s almost a 10 month’s supply of Naples homes for sale making it a buyer’s market.

Unlike last month, their is only one Luxury Golf Community with more than 10 months’ supply of single-family homes for sale which is Pelican Landing at The Colony. If you are considering buying a home in The Colony, there should be room for negotiations due to the higher supply level.

Contact us today to help you identify the best Southwest Florida golf community for you and your family and ensure the best return on your investment. At the same time, we will make your transaction as effortless as possible.

Good Financial Move

Is Buying a Home Today a Good Financial Move?

During these challenging times, is buying a home a good financial move? A bright spot in the economy has been the real estate industry. More Americans are reconsidering the meaning of “home.” This quest for a place better equipped to fulfill our needs, along with record-low mortgage rates, has skyrocketed the demand for home purchases.

This increase in demand, on top of the severe shortage of homes for sale, has also caused more bidding wars and thus has home prices appreciating rather dramatically. Some, therefore, have become cautious about buying a home right now.

The truth of the matter is, even though homes have appreciated by a whopping 6.7% over the last twelve months, the cost to buy a home has actually dropped. This is largely due to mortgage rates falling by a full percentage point.

Let’s take a look at the monthly mortgage payment on a $300,000 house one year ago, and then compare it with that same home today, after it has appreciated by 6.7% to $320,100:

Compared to this time last year, you’ll actually save $87 dollars a month by purchasing that home today, which equates to over one thousand dollars a year.

But isn’t the economy still in a recession?

Yes, it is. That, however, may make it the perfect time to buy your first home or move up to a larger one. Tom Gil, a Harvard trained negotiator and real estate investor, recently explained:

“When volatile assets are facing recessions, hard assets, such as gold and real estate, thrive. Historically speaking, residential real estate has done better compared to other markets during and after recessions.”

That thought is substantiated by the fact that homeowners have 40 times the net worth of renters. Odeta Kushi, Deputy Chief Economist for First American Financial Corporation, recently said:

“Despite the risk of volatility in the housing market, numerous studies have demonstrated that homeownership leads to greater wealth accumulation when compared with renting. Renters don’t capture the wealth generated by house price appreciation, nor do they benefit from the equity gains generated by monthly mortgage payments, which become a form of forced savings for homeowners.”

So, with home prices still increasing and mortgage rates perhaps poised to begin rising as well, buying your first home, or moving up to a home that better fits your current needs, likely makes a ton of sense.

Does it a Good Financial Move to Buy a Home in a Golf Community?

How often do you want to play? How much time will you send in Naples? Are you planning to rent your property? What type of amenities are important to you and your family? How much space do you need?

From the beginning of your journey to the end, we will handle all the details to make your real estate transaction smooth and stress free. Contact us today to get started.
