Considering Selling Your Naples Home? Why Work with an Experienced Real Estate Team

Three Things You Should Consider Before Joining a Private Golf Club

The global pandemic had several unlikely by-products.

One of those was its impact on the golf industry, not only in terms of participation (which swelled to record numbers) but golf real estate as well.

Golf course communities that were hanging on by a thread in 2019 all of a sudden found themselves flush with buyers and prospects in 2020.

And at the heart of many of these communities were private golf clubs that went from trying to find new members to having waiting lists to join almost overnight.

Fast-forward to the end of 2021 and the start of 2022 and thousands of people are still searching for their first golf course home and private club membership.

For many of these would-be buyers, the private club world is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, surrounded by an enigma, as the saying goes.

To help with your search for the perfect golf lifestyle, here are three things you should consider before joining a private golf club. 

1. Ownership

There are essentially two types of private club business models. The majority of clubs in Southwest Florida are member-owned and operate as non-profit social clubs. A small percentage are privately-owned and operate for profit.

So what does this have to do with your membership? A lot. If you join a member-owned club, you’re effectively becoming a stakeholder. And with that comes the responsibility of making collective decisions for the club, like what to spend money on, and when.

Member-owned clubs typically have a president, board of directors and several committees that provide governance. Capital improvements at the club are usually paid for through initiation fees, capital reserve funds or assessments (i.e. when each member comes out of pocket, equally, to finance the project).

Privately-held clubs might be owned by an individual, an LLC (limited liability company) or a corporation. When it comes to upgrades and repairs to the golf course, clubhouse and physical plant, ownership foots the bill.

Southwest Florida, like most markets, consists primarily of member-owned clubs. Especially with all the golf community build-outs we’ve had over the past 20 years. Collier’s Reserve Country Club in North Naples and Pelican Marsh Golf Club just to the south are examples of member-owned clubs.

The Club at Olde Cypress, located just east of I-75 off Immokalee Rd., is an example of a privately-owned club. Its P.B. Dye-designed golf course reopened in November following a multi-million-dollar remastering funded by ownership that includes new grass for tees, fairways and greens, as well as new bunker sand and practice facility amenities. Olde Cypress’ 34,000-square-foot clubhouse was also updated with several interior spaces being refreshed.

Just around the corner, Vineyards, one of Naples’ largest golf communities, and Vineyards Country Club, which features two 18-hole golf courses, is also privately owned.

There’s no right or wrong ownership structure for private clubs; both have a unique set of considerations and benefits. It comes down to which is the best fit for your budget, personality, risk tolerance and new golf lifestyle.

2. Organization

Next to ownership, a club’s organization is also a major consideration when evaluating membership. And clubs are inexorably linked to their surrounding communities in a couple of ways. 

Bundled Communities, for example, are a popular golf community model throughout Southwest Florida, and a concept those hailing from points north may not be familiar with.

Simply stated, a bundled community is one in which golf club membership is included when buying a home. Oftentimes, they don’t require an initiation fee (or it’s substantially lower than a traditional golf club), and members pay slightly lower monthly dues.

Every homeowner is a member, and bundled communities often have upwards of 1,000 or more homes. Because of the higher number of members, tee times can be scarcer, especially at prime times like weekend mornings. They can be a good fit for casual golfers who like to play a few times a month.

Then there are “compulsory” or “mandatory membership” communities for which some level of membership is required upon purchasing a home. Conversely, some private clubs require that members live in the community.

3. Types

There was a time when most clubs offered two or three levels of membership: full golf, associate golf and social. Full golf provides unfettered access to tee times, practice facilities, and tournaments. Associate golf usually has restrictions on golf utilization. And social excludes golf but offers access to the clubhouse, dining and other amenities.

Nowadays, you’re likely to find national membership for those living outside a certain radius, vertical membership covering up to three generations, and membership targeting certain demographics, like 55 and under.

Private club membership directors throughout Naples, Estero, Bonita Springs are Fort Myers are wonderful resources when it comes to membership types, so don’t hesitate to grill them with all of your questions. Joining a private golf club can be one of the biggest – and best – decisions a golfer can make.

SWFL September Housing Update

The SWFL September housing update showed there was more than $875 Million in properties closed during September, up from $739 Million last year. Once again, the limited inventory impacted the number of closed sales for the month. Both single family homes and condos saw slight declines in Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers.

Also notable was the percentage of cash transactions during the month. Approximately 42 percent of all transactions were cash in September, which was the same as August and remained lower than July which was 65 percent. So what are the implications? For those who are using a mortgage, you have more opportunities to enter into a contract on a property without having to go up against multiple cash offers.

Additionally, there are signs of improving inventory levels. Unlike August when the number of homes for sale dropped 60 percent, in September the drop in inventory was only 42.5 percent. And there were actually 2,094 new listings which came on to the market compared to 2,200 during the prior month.

Keep in mind, even though new properties were added daily, the demand remained higher than the market was able to accommodate. Several clients have asked if demand is slowing. At this point, there are no indications demand is slowing down. In fact, we anticipate an increase in demand in Southwest Florida due to multiple factors.

Recently, Fort Myers was ranked the seventh best place to retire by US News & World Report with Naples coming in 2nd and Sarasota 1st!

Also notable, the U.S. will be opening up the boarders for international travel for 30 plus countries starting in November. We expect an influx of foreign buyers to enter the market place in search of a vacation home, second home or investment property.

So, if you are considering buying, there are new opportunities every day. However you need to be prepared to move very quickly as it remains a seller’s market.

If you are thinking of selling, you are in the driver’s seat. Contact us today to learn about your home’s value in our current market. It may be more than you realize.

 SWFL September Housing Update – Single Family Homes

September 2021 versus September 2020 Single Family Home Highlights:

• Closed sales decreased 1.9 percent going from 1,444 transactions down to 1,416 sales.
• Pending sales decreased 17.5 percent down from 1,832 last September versus 1,512 this August.
• Inventory fell 43.1 percent down to 1,746 properties for sale compared to this same time last year when 3,066 homes were for sale.
• New listings decreased from 1,550 down to 1,498 which was a 3.4 percent decrease.
• Median days on market decreased to 13 days which is an 67.5 percent decrease versus August of 2020.
• Available inventory of single family homes ended September with a 1.1 month supply of homes available for sale, or a 57.7 percent decrease.

Single family home prices are still showing significant increases as the median price for September increased just over 20 percent. Thus, if you are a buyer, the good news is this is a modest decrease from the previous month when the median sales price rose 27.1 percent.

While inventory is starting to show signs of improvement, buyer demand also remains high. As long as inventory levels remain well below normal market levels, prices will continue to appreciate. In fact,  Goldman Sachs recently predicted home prices to increase 16 percent nationwide in 2022.

Seller’s continue to have the advantage in the sales process. If you are considering buying a property, patience and persistence is the key to finding the right home. New listings are hitting the market every day, we can help you with automatic property alerts.

If you are selling your home, now would be a great time to cash in on the high buyer demand. You might be surprised to learn how much your home is worth in today’s market.

What is my home worth…

SWFL September Housing Update – Condos and Townhomes

September 2021 versus September 2020 Condo Highlights:

• Condo sales decreased 7 percent going from 657 real estate transactions down to 611 sales.
• Pending sales decreased 25.8 percent down from 813 last September to 603 this September.
• Inventory decreased 76.2 percent down to 558 condos for sale compared to last September when there were 2,346 units for sale.
• New listings decreased from 691 down to 596 which was a 13.7 percent decrease.
• Median days to contract fell to 10 days which represented an 85.1 percent decrease versus September of 2020.
• Available inventory of condos ended August with a less than 1 month supply of properties available for sale which was an 83.3 percent decline.

Condo sales followed similar patterns as the previous month. Once again, the number of sales and inventory saw declines. Inventory levels of condos are especially challenging with less than a months worth of properties available for sale. Yet, similar to single family homes, there are still opportunities as new listings are added to the market every day.

The good news is Florida home builders are investing heavily in new single family construction. A study looked at building permits and year-to-year increases as of June. Out of all U.S. cities, 10 Florida metro areas were in the top 20 for new building permits. The Cape Coaral-Fort Myers area led the way with 5,150 new building permits which represented a 77 percent increase and the Naples-Marco Island area was 6th in the country with 2,211 permits issued which was a 65 percent increase over the same time period last year. Should I use a Realtor if I’m buying New Construction?

Bottom line, it remains a seller’s market for both condos and single family homes. Whether you are considering buying or selling, let us be your guide.
