What is an Equity Golf Community?

An equity golf community is one where the golf club requires an upfront initiation fee for a golf membership as well as annual membership dues. If the community includes homes, you will also have annual community fees in addition to your golf membership dues.

In the past, most of the clubs with an upfront initiation fee dedicated a portion of the membership fee to equity which means you have an ownership stake in the club. If at any point you drop your membership you would receive your “equity” back.

At this point, there are very few clubs still offering equity memberships. Clubs are now offering a non-equity membership which requires an  upfront initiation fee which is non-refundable.

What are the Advantages of a Non-Equity Golf Community?

Golf communities offering non-equity or equity golf memberships typically have lower density. There will be approximately 200 to 300 golf members per 18 holes. With fewer members competing for the golf course, it is easier to get a tee time than a bundled golf community where the density is significantly higher.

If you plan to play golf 4 or 5 days a week a non-equity golf community will be a better fit. Currently, most of these clubs have multi-year waitlists. However, even if there is a waitlist there are options to bypass the waitlist in several of the communities. Contact us to learn how you can obtain an immediate golf membership.

Are There Other Types of Golf Communities?

The other type of golf community is a “bundled golf community“. A bundled golf community is a development where the golf membership is bundled or deeded to the property and your membership dues are combined with your annual community fees. There is no upfront initiation fee in a bundled golf community.

One of the advantages of this type of community is if you purchase a property which includes a golf membership, you have immediate golf privileges.

However, one of the disadvantages is there are a lot of members vying for the golf course. There could be as many as 800 members per 18 holes of golf. As a result, it may be more difficult to get a tee time if you play frequently.

Do All Homes in a Bundled Golf Community Include a Golf Membership?

It depends on the community. There are several golf communities where every home includes a golf membership. However, it is important to note some bundled golf communities have a mix of properties with a golf membership and some properties which only include a social membership.

What type of Golf Community is Right for You?

There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of membership and community. With more than 150 golf communities in the area it is a challenge to navigate all the various options for golf membership. That is where we come in. Our vast relationships with all the golf communities from Naples to Sarasota allow us to serve our clients by making the home-buying or selling process an easy and enjoyable one.

While it may seem overwhelming at first, once we know how often you play, other desired club amenities, property type and a price range we can help you narrow the list of clubs down to a handful that will potentially offer you the Florida golf lifestyle you are looking for.

How to Make a Home Listing Stand Out

On the surface, making a new home listing stand out sounds and looks easy. If it appears that way, then we are doing our job as professional REALTORS^®.

In partnership with our Sellers we will help you prepare the home for high quality professional photos, videos and showings. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what will need to be done to maximize your sales price.

How to Showcase Your Home For a Successful Sale

Your home listing needs a compelling description to appeal to home buyers. It is important to focus on the homes unique features which will showcase why the property is a must-see.

• Start with an eye-catching headline which entices a buyer to want to learn more about the home.
• Leverage descriptive words to portray the homes most compelling attributes.
• Focus on unique features first.
• Highlight the lifestyle of the community and the amenities available to residents.

We work closely with our clients to create a compelling description of both your home as well as the lifestyle residents will enjoy when they purchase your property.

Why is Online Presence a Key to Selling Your Home Listing?

The internet is the primary way buyers search for and view properties for sale. In today’s day and age, tablets and smartphones have contributed to home buyers browsing properties before they view it in person.

The more buyers who view your property, the sooner you are likely to receive an offer and at a higher price. It is important your listing agent markets your home across multiple platforms. To maximize your home’s exposure your real estate professional should have a well established online presence.

• Local MLS
• National & International Award Winning Websites such as Realtor.com, Zillow, Homes.com and so forth
• Broker Website
• Agent Website
• Facebook
• Instagram
• YouTube
• Twitter
• Google Business
• Professional agent networks

While online presence is the new norm, print advertising such as Just Listed post cards may still be relevant especially in some geographic regions of the country.

Why are Professional Photos a Key to a Higher Price for Your Home Listing?

You only have a few seconds to capture a buyers interest. First impressions are critical. If you only have 1 photo displayed or the photos are done with a phone and are dark you will loose buyers. I can’t tell you how many times buyers have looked at properties without professional photos and said, “no the property is too dark, there’s not enough natural light” when it’s really just the poor photos which are dark. Ultimately, you are limiting your buyer pool and therefore your potential to maximize your sales price.

• Homes with Professional Photos get 61% more views. (Redfin)
• Listings with Professional Photos sell 32% faster than (PR Newswire)
• Listings with professional photos receive 118% more online views. (Imoto photo)
• Buyers spend 60% of their time looking at listing photos and only 20% each on the listing and agent descriptions. (The Wall Street Journal)

Why is Video so Important in Showcasing Your Home Listing?

In addition to an eye catching photos, video and drone coverage of your home and community have proven to lead to more views per listing.

• Listings with video receive a 403% increase in inquiries than listings without video (National Association of Realtors)
• Homes listed with a video tour are viewed for 90 seconds, those without only 7 seconds

High quality videos give buyers a better ‘feel’ for what it is like to live in the home and the community.

How to Optimize Your Listing So it Stands Out Above the Rest

It is not just about the media platforms where your home is featured, but also about how your listing is portrayed to potential buyers. Your home listing needs a compelling description to appeal to home buyers. It is important to focus on the homes unique features which will showcase the why the property is a must-see.

• Start with an eye-catching headline which entices a buyer to want to learn more about the home.
• Leverage descriptive words to portray the homes most compelling attributes.
• Focus on unique attributes first.
• Highlight the lifestyle of the community and it’s

Enhance Your Curb Appeal

Once you’ve captured a buyers interest online, the next step is likely an in-person preview of your home. You have one shot at a great first impression so curb appeal is critical to making your home listing stand out amongst the rest.

• Front door – Apply a fresh coat of paint and replace the hardware.
• Coordinate Hardware – Address numbers, mailboxes, door locks  and your outdoor light are small elements which add a lot of polish to your home’s look when they match.
• Colorful Plants – Turn your entry way into an inviting focal point by adding a few well-chosen and nicely arranged potted plants.
• Freshen Up Your Landscaping – Add some colorful plants and mulch in your front yard and consider walkway lighting along with landscape lighting.
• Clean Dirty Spaces – Power wash your walkway and entryway.

Take a look at 23 ways to add curb appeal to create the best front yard on your block…

Home selling seems easy, but in reality it is not. An experienced real estate agent will work closely with a Seller to ensure your home has a compelling listing description, your home is prepared for viewing, we’ll screen potential buyers and provide feedback on each showing. It is important to adjust to market conditions and buyer feedback.

As a full-time professional Realtor, I will help guide you through the selling process to make the experience stress-free. We have an experienced team with 20 years of experience in helping clients sell their home in Southwest Florida.

Southwest Florida Golf Community Trends

Your go to resource for Southwest Florida golf community trends for Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota. Depending on the type of community, there may be a waitlist for membership. In some cases it is less than a year and in other cases it is more than 10 years!

Golf Communities which require an upfront initiation fee for a golf membership are typically referred to as “equity” golf clubs. In reality, there are very few clubs still offering “equity” memberships. Most clubs have shifted to a membership model which requires a non-refundable upfront initiation fee.

This means the golf membership is bundled or deeded to the property and your membership dues are a part of your annual community fees. There is no upfront initiation fee in a bundled golf community.

Sarasota Florida Housing Market Update

The latest Sarasota Florida housing market statistics showed 638 properties sold for just over $395 Million during November for the North Port, Sarasota, and Bradenton areas. The highest priced sale was for a single family home on Longboat Key for $10,000,000.

Once again, inventory rose significantly compared to the same time last year. However, it is important to keep in mind inventory was extremely low last year. Like previous months, even though supply has increased, the greater Sarasota area ended the month with just over a 2 months’ supply of properties for sale. Most notable was the minimal increase in inventory from October to November which was only 7 percent.

Overall, inventory ended the month at 2,410 properties for sale which is just over half of what we normally have at this time of year. From a historical perspective, inventory prior to the pandemic was 4,175 in November 2019 and 4,942 in November of 2018. Since a healthy market would be at least 6 months’ worth of homes for sale, Sellers are still in the driver’s seat.

Whether you are buying or selling a home, it is important to keep track of local market trends. What is happening in resort destinations such as Sarasota continues to be different than other areas of the country. If you have questions about a specific area or neighborhood, contact us for more information.

Although single-family home inventory rose significantly compared to last year, up more than 150 percent, it was only up 6 percent from October.

From a historical perspective, in 2019 there were 2,560 homes (3.6 months’ supply) on the market and in 2018 there were 3,131 (4.7 months’ supply) single-family homes available for sale.

Also, the time it took for single-family homes to go to contract remained only increased slightly over October going from 20 days to 23 days which is still fast compared to a normal market.

Sarasota Florida Housing Market Report – Condos and Townhomes

November 2022 versus November 2021 Condo Highlights:

• Condo sales decreased 35.9 percent going from 351 real estate transactions down to 225 sales.
• Pending sales decreased 35.7 percent down from 401 last November to 258 this November.
• Inventory increased 144 percent up to 727 condos for sale compared to last November when there were only 298 units for sale.

• Median days to contract was 13 days which was up from 7 days last year.
• Available inventory of condos ended November with a 2.1 months’ supply of properties available for sale which was a 250 percent increase.

Similar to single family homes, there was a significant increase in inventory compared to last November. The increase in condos for sale between October and November went from 660 units up to 727 units which was a modest 10 percent increase.

Also noteworthy was the change in days on market which went down from 28 days during October back down to 13 days in November. Additionally, 66 percent of the transactions were cash deals. With low inventory, low days on market, and high buyer demand as evidenced by the number of cash transactions, we are still in a strong Seller’s market.

Bottom line, it remains a seller’s market for both condos and single-family homes. So 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…

The November housing market report for Lee County showed 1,276 properties sold for just over $617 Million during the month. The luxury market picked up again with 73 properties sold at or above $1 Million, up from 62 luxury sales during October. Lee County covers Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, Captiva, Estero, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Miromar Lakes, Sanibel and surrounding areas.

The highest price sale was on Sanibel for $11,700,000.

On average, homebuyers paid 97% of list price for the top 10 most expensive homes sold in Lee County.

Lee County November Housing Market Report – Single Family Homes

November 2022 versus November 2021 Single Family Home Highlights:

• Closed sales decreased 41.2 percent going from 1,387 transactions down to 816 sales.
• Pending sales decreased 35 percent down from 1,499 last November versus 975 this November.
• Inventory increased 110.2 percent up to 3,531 properties for sale compared to this same time last year when 1,680 homes were for sale.
• New listings decreased from 1,378 down to 1,309 which was a 5 percent decline.
• Median days on market increased to 34 days which was a 161.5 percent increase versus November of 2021.
• Available inventory of single-family homes ended November with a 2.8 months’ supply of homes available for sale which was up from a 1.1 months’ supply during November of 2021.

Once again, the median sales price for single-family homes showed a modest increase over last November, up from $376,500 to $400,000 which was a 6.2 percent jump. However, it was down from October when the median sales price was $425,000. 

Although inventory rose compared to last year by more than 110 percent, it only increased 5 percent over October. Similar to the rest of Southwest Florida, inventory is moving in the right direction. However, the percentage increases year-over-year are misleading. Prior to the pandemic, in November of 2019 there were 5,322 properties for sale (4.7 months’ supply) and in November of 2018 there were 6,208 homes (5.5 months’ supply) available for sale. A healthy, balanced market is typically more than 6 months’ supply. At this point we are far from a normal market.

Even though inventory is still low is has doubled over last year. Also, there are other signs we are moving in the right direction. For example, days on market increased to 34 days compared to 29 days during October and up from 13 days a year ago. Keep in mind, 34 days is still pretty quick!

On another note, the percentage of all cash sales came in at 41 precent for single-family homes compared to 35 percent during the prior month. However, with some exceptions, we are seeing most listings say “proof of funds” required with offer instead of “cash offers only” which was the norm during this time last year. The good news for buyers, you do have more options. In most cases, you have more time to evaluate a property before submitting an offer. Just keep in mind, Sellers are still in the driver’s seat so while there is more options and flexibility, Sellers are only showing a little bit of willingness to negotiate off list price and accommodate any potential repairs.

If inventory remains low, and demand remains strong, prices will continue to rise. If you are considering selling, call, email, or text us today to discuss your home’s value in today’s market. We will help you determine what if any repairs should be made prior to listing your home and provide current market data to determine the optimum selling price.

Lee County November Housing Market Report – Condos and Townhomes

November 2022 versus November 2021 Condo Highlights:

• Condo sales decreased 36.6 percent going from 585 real estate transactions down to 371 sales.
• Pending sales decreased 35.5 percent down from 660 last November to 426 this November.
• Inventory increased 123.5 percent up to 1,075 condos for sale compared to last November when there were only 481 units for sale.
• New listings decreased from 626 down to 542 which was a 13.4 percent decrease.
• Median days to contract increased to 19 days which represented a 111.1 percent increase versus November of 2021.
• Available inventory of condos ended November with a 1.9 months’ supply of properties available for sale which was a 216.7 percent increase over last year.

Similar to last month, despite the increase in inventory, the Lee County Condo market remains a strong Seller’s market. The number of condos for sale is still extremely low at just a 1.9 month’s supply and it is not much of an increase over last month when there was 1.7 months’ supply of condos for sale. A balanced market would be a 6-7 months’ supply of condos for sale.

The median price for the month was $323,000 for condos which was up 16.6 percent compared to this time last year however, it was down slightly from October when the price was $330,000. Lee County saw more homes impacted by the hurricane along the coast. As a result, many homeowners are still waiting on insurance claims to determine if they are going to sell or rebuild.

Finally, it is notable 70 percent of condo sales were paid in cash up from 62 percent in October. If you are planning on leveraging a loan for your condo purchase, you are still competing with a significant number of cash buyers. Regardless of when you plan to purchase, if you are a buyer, it may be time to start taking a closer look at homes for sale in neighborhoods which might fit your criteria. To stay up to date sign up for automatic property alerts.

Bottom line, it is a seller’s market for both condos and single-family homes. So 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. Wondering what the benefits are of using an agent sell your home? What is my home worth…
