SWFL New Construction increased significantly during the fourth quarter of last year.  New home starts were up 42 percent from 893 to 1,282 in the fourth quarter of 2015 according to the most recent Metrostudy report by Hanley Wood.  On annual basis new home starts were up 22 percent in Collier County and 10 percent in Lee County.

The quarterly report provided by Metrostudy covers both Lee and Collier counties and includes single-family homes, town homes and duplexes.  Condos are not included in the figures.

With the limited supply of re-sale homes on the market, new construction is being built at a fast and furious pace.  The good news for buyers is the influx of new homes is improving the tight supply.  However, even with SWFL new construction booming there’s still limited supply, especially in the most active price ranges from $300,000 to $500,000.  The tight supply is good news for sellers as it’s still a sellers market and you are likely to get top dollar for your home.

Golf Communities with the highest number of new home starts during 2015:

• Plantation
• Pelican Preserve
• Fiddler’s Creek

If you want better wedge shots, shorten up your backswing.  If you take a long backswing on your wedge shot, you will probably decelerate your swing as you come into impact.  The deceleration will cause you to hit the ball poorly.  The result will probably be the shot will come up well short or miss your target badly.  Swing back so that your hands are just above your waist and the club is hinged up.  Make a good turn with your hips and shoulders, and accelerate into the ball.  You will discover that your distance will be good, and your accuracy will improve greatly.  Try this technique and you will hit better wedge shots.

Do you need more distance off the tee?  To gain more distance with your driver you only need to make a few tweaks to your stance and grip.  First, widen your stance a couple of inches to create a wider and longer arc in your swing.  Next, if you are right handed, turn your left hand slightly more to the left on your grip so that you see two or three knuckles of your hand.  This is referred to as “strengthening your grip”.  It does not mean hang onto the club tighter.  The slight change in grip will promote a draw that will hit and roll farther than a straight grip or one that slices.  Try making these two little changes if you need more distance off the tee.

Don’t take my word for it.  Check out what Johnny Miller has to say about the golf grip and its evolution over time.

Naples January Market Report

The Naples real estate market continues to move into a stable, balanced market between buyers and sellers, according to the latest real estate report released by NABOR (Naples Area Board of Realtors).  Pending sales fell 23 percent from 1,103 last January to 847 this January.  Likewise, closed sales also dropped year over year falling from 645 units down to 571 which represents an 11 percent decrease.  The one exception was north Naples where closed sales increased 8 percent from 159 last year to 171 this year.

The good news for buyers is inventory levels increased 13 percent year over year from 4,515 units up to 5,091 units.  The good news for sellers is  the median home prices increased 8 percent from $315,000 to $340,000.  Single family homes saw a larger increase in median price which was up from $372,000 up to $425,000 for a total increase of 14 percent.  The median price for condos rose 5 percent from $265,000 up to $278,000 when compared to this time last year.  Properties below $300,000 saw the largest increase in median price at a 21 percent increase.  The significant increase in the lower priced homes is largely due to the dwindling inventory below $300,000.

For sellers, not only has the median price increase, the average days on market has also fallen 14 percent from 87 days to 75 days.  So sellers are getting more for their homes and in a shorter amount of time.

How do you stop three putting greens?  Most three putts are caused by the first putt coming up too short or going well past the hole.  Often times, you will have the ball traveling along the right line and it just stops short of the hole or you hit it through the break.  Next thing you know you have a difficult second putt.  Your goal on your first putt should be hitting the ball the right distance.  Identify the correct line, then strive to hit your putt so it’s near the hole.  If your line is a little off that’s okay.  If you hit the ball the right distance then you’ll just have a nice little tap in.  Focus on distance first, then your line and you should stop three putting which means you’ll post lower scores!
