October Real Estate Activity

October Real Estate Activity for Greater Naples

The most recent October real estate activity reports for Naples revealed that 484 properties were sold, amounting to just over $449 million in sales for the month. Notably, the highest-priced sale was a New Construction home in Coquina Sands for $11,550,000.

Furthermore, the luxury real estate market saw a notable decline in high-value transactions, with just 104 properties sold at or above $1 million compared to 135 sales the previous month. Yet, despite two hurricanes and a presidential election, which had buyers waiting on the sidelines until the outcome, the market was resilient, as evidenced by the increase in new listings.

Notably, 70 percent of the top 10 highest-priced sales in the area occurred west of U.S. 41 in downtown Naples (Coquina Sands, Moorings, Park Shore, and Olde Naples). The remaining 30 percent of the top 10 were in luxury golf communities (Grey Oaks, Quail West and Talis Park).

Naples and Southwest Florida continue to shine as premier destinations for both living and retiring, consistently earning national recognition. In the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings, Naples secured the top spot on both the “Best Places to Live” and “Best Places to Retire” lists. For retirees, key factors such as happiness, low taxes, excellent healthcare, strong desirability, and affordability contributed to its high ranking. Meanwhile, for those seeking the best places to live, Naples stood out for its exceptional value, desirable location, robust job market, and unparalleled quality of life.

Adding to the region’s accolades, Southwest Florida has also emerged as a leader in the commercial real estate sector. A recent report from CommercialCafe ranked Southwest Florida among the top 10 mid-size markets for office space in the third quarter of 2024, highlighting its growing appeal for businesses.

With so many awards and recognitions, it’s no surprise that people are flocking to the Sunshine State to enjoy the unmatched lifestyle Naples and Southwest Florida have to offer.

Inventory increased 31 percent to 4,746 homes for sale, compared to 3,627 last year.

Additionally, the average days it took for a property to go to contract increased slightly from 83 to 89 between September and October. However, this figure still falls short of the typical 90 to 120 days in a normal market.

It is important to note that the condominium market for buildings that are three floors or higher and more than 25 years old has significantly changed due to recent changes in state laws. If you are considering purchasing a high-rise or mid-rise condo, we can help you navigate the changes.

Pick the Perfect Country Club

How to Pick the Perfect Country Club for Your Lifestyle

Selecting a country club that aligns with your needs and lifestyle can open doors to exceptional amenities, social opportunities, and a luxurious escape just around the corner. But with so many country clubs to choose from, how do you find the perfect fit? Here’s a guide to help you identify the ideal country club, maximize your investment, and ensure it aligns with your unique preferences.

1. Define Your Must-Have Amenities

Country clubs vary widely in amenities, so start by identifying which features are non-negotiable for you. Are you an avid golfer seeking a championship course? Perhaps you’re looking for tennis courts, a full-service spa, or an Olympic-sized pool. Many country clubs offer luxurious extras, from fine dining and event spaces to wellness centers and walking trails, so be clear about what will enhance your lifestyle.

2. Consider Your Budget

Membership fees and dues can vary significantly between clubs, depending on location, amenities, and exclusivity. Take time to understand both the initial membership fees and ongoing dues, which may cover services like maintenance, social events, and facility access. Some clubs offer tiered memberships to suit different budgets, so finding a club within your financial comfort zone is essential.

3. Evaluate the Golf Experience

If you’re joining primarily for the golf, research the course quality, layout, and availability. Some courses are designed by renowned architects, offering members an elite golfing experience. Additionally, consider whether the club offers PGA-certified instructors, practice facilities, and various skill-level options. For many, a challenging yet enjoyable golf course is a top priority when choosing a country club.

4. Explore the Social Scene and Community

Country clubs are as much about community as they are about facilities. If you’re looking for a social experience, check out the club’s event calendar to see the range of activities offered, from holiday parties and themed dinners to wine tastings and community gatherings. A vibrant, active social scene can make your experience much more enjoyable and help you connect with like-minded members.

5. Assess Dining and Culinary Options

From gourmet dining to casual fare, many country clubs provide an array of culinary choices. Take a look at the menus and visit the dining areas to sample the atmosphere. Some clubs employ top chefs who craft seasonal menus, while others offer daily casual dining or family-friendly options. The dining experience can greatly influence your club experience, especially if you plan to dine there frequently.

6. Look Into Family-Friendly Amenities

If you have a family, make sure the club offers activities for all ages. Many country clubs cater to families with swimming lessons, junior golf programs, kids’ camps, and family dining events. Choosing a club with family-friendly options ensures that everyone can enjoy the facilities, making it a place to create lasting family memories.

7. Understand the Club’s Culture and Membership Style

The culture of a club can be just as important as the amenities. Do you prefer a formal, traditional club with a dress code, or are you looking for a more relaxed, modern environment? Attend a club event or meet some of the members to get a feel for the atmosphere. Clubs with a strong sense of community and inclusivity are often more enjoyable for new members.

8. Review the Club’s Location and Accessibility

Proximity to your home is a key factor to consider when choosing a country club. A nearby location allows you to make the most of your membership. Whether it’s for a quick golf game or an impromptu dinner, a club that’s convenient and accessible makes it easier to fully immerse yourself in the country club lifestyle.

9. Evaluate Membership Options and Policies

Country clubs offer various membership options, such as full, social, junior, or sports memberships. Be sure to understand each type and choose one that matches your intended level of involvement. Review the club’s guest policies, membership transfer options, and cancellation terms to ensure you know what’s included and what to expect.

10. Take Advantage of a Trial Membership

Some country clubs offer trial memberships, giving you a taste of what the club has to offer before you commit. This is a fantastic way to experience the amenities, meet other members, and assess whether the club aligns with your needs and lifestyle.

Ready to Find Your Perfect Country Club?

Picking the right country club is a journey toward enhancing your lifestyle and creating a retreat you can enjoy year-round. Contact us today to learn more about local country clubs, discuss membership options, or schedule a tour of clubs that fit your preferences. Let us help you find the perfect country club match, where luxury, community, and relaxation await!

What’s Motivating Homeowners To Move Right Now

Over the past few years, some homeowners have decided to delay their move because they don’t want to sell and take on a higher mortgage rate on their next home. Maybe you’re thinking the same thing. And honestly, that’s no surprise. It’s a very common roadblock and is one of the biggest factors that’s kept the number of homes on the market so low for so long.

But a growing number of homeowners are deciding they just can’t wait any longer. Often, it’s because of personal or lifestyle change. As Redfin explains:

“Some homeowners are opting to bite the bullet and give up their low rate in order to move. Many are selling because a major life event like a job change, or divorce . . .”

If you’re weighing the decision to move, take a look at some of the top reasons others are choosing to sell. You might find those are reason enough for you to move now, too.

It’s Time for a Change

A new job in a different city, a desire to be closer to family, or simply wanting a change of scenery can all spark the need to sell.

Let’s say you’ve landed a great job offer that requires relocating, listing your current home quickly may be the next logical step.

There’s Just Not Enough Space in Your Current House

Sometimes, your current home just doesn’t fit your lifestyle anymore. A growing family, the need for a home office, or more room for entertaining can all drive the decision to upgrade to a larger space.

As an example, if you live in a condo and have a baby on the way, selling might be the next best move so you can find a larger home that suits your needs.

Retirement or Wanting To Downsize

On the flip side, some homeowners are ready to downsize. This could be due to children moving out, retirement, or simply wanting less to maintain.

If you’re newly retired and dreaming of a simpler lifestyle, downsizing to a smaller home could free up both time and resources to enjoy this new chapter of life.

Changes in Relationship Status

Big changes like divorce, separation, or marriage often lead to a need for new living arrangements.

If you just went through a divorce, selling the house you once shared may allow both of you to move forward and find a living situation that works better for you now.

Health and Mobility Needs

Health concerns, especially those that affect mobility, can also drive the decision to sell. A home that once worked well might no longer suit your needs.

If this sounds like your experience right now, selling your current home to move into a more accessible space, or even using the proceeds for assisted living, could significantly improve your quality of life.

Bottom Line

Selling your home isn’t just about market conditions or mortgage rates—it’s also about making the best decision for your lifestyle and future. As Bankrate says:

“Deciding whether it’s the right time to sell your home is a very personal choice. There are numerous important questions to consider, both financial and lifestyle-based . . . Your future plans and goals should be a significant part of the equation.”

If a major life change has you thinking about moving, now might still be the right time to sell. Let’s connect so you have an expert to help you navigate the process.

September Real Estate Activity

September Real Estate Activity for Greater Naples

The most recent September real estate activity reports for Collier County revealed that 527 properties were sold, amounting to just over $568 million in sales for the month. Notably, the highest-priced sale was a Waterfront estate in Port Royal, which fetched $36,490,000.

Furthermore, the luxury real estate market saw a notable number of high-value transactions, with 135 properties sold at or above $1 million.

Additionally, 100 percent of the top 10 highest-priced sales in the area occurred west of U.S. 41, all being waterfront properties, highlighting the strong demand for premium locations near the water.

Notably, showings were down 11 percent during September. Our off-season, combined with a presidential election, has some buyers sitting on the sidelines.

Based on our experience over the past 20 years, during a presidential election year, people wait until the election is over and they know the outcome. The lack of uncertainty about the outcome is what keeps people holding off. Once the election ends, people will decide to purchase regardless of the outcome.

Interestingly, data from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) indicates that home sales increased following nine of the last 11 presidential elections.

As we head into season, market conditions are favorable for pre-season buyers.

September Real Estate Activity for Naples

September 2024 versus September 2023 Highlights:

Closed sales decreased 13 percent, going from 607 transactions down to 527 sales.
Inventory increased 37 percent to 4,288 homes for sale, compared to 3,123 last year.
New listings increased from 999 to 1,035, a 4 percent jump.
Median days on market increased to 83 days, a 41 percent increase, versus September of 2023.

In September, 277 single-family homes and 250 condos were sold, for a total of 527 sales. This marked a 13 percent decrease in sales compared to the previous year.

The median price for single-family homes decreased slightly year over year to $740,000 from $745,693. However, it rose significantly over the prior year, when it was $690,000.

On the other hand, the median sales price for condominiums decreased from $470,000 last September to $450,000 in September of this year. Similarly, the median price fell month over month by 6.4 percent.

Additionally, the average number of days it took for a property to go to contract increased slightly from 82 to 83 between August and September. However, this figure still falls short of the typical 90 to 120 days in a normal market.

Sales activity during the off-season summer months is historically lower than during the season. Thus, sellers must set the right prices to stay competitive in today’s market.

Top 10 Luxury Naples Golf Home Sales in September
