Lambiance  – Pelican Bay – Naples, FL – The link below will take you to an interesting article about Florida’s snowbirds.

I’ve recently heard of 3 families cancelling vacations to Florida and a few snowbirds holding off their trips to their Florida residences until the Covid numbers come down. It will be interesting to see what happens this season.

LAmbiance’s units are desirable to many people. Last week we had a second floor garden home come on the market. It was under contract within 3 days. As of today there are no units for sale in LAmbiance. There are only 22 places for sale in all of Pelican Bay.

Since the beginning of the year LAmbiance has had 8 sales. If you click here, the link will take you to a list of those sales.  https://matrix.swflamls.com/Matrix/Public/Portal.aspx?p=DE-99347885-537&k=190465XHFL8&eml=THlubkhXaWxiZXJAZ21haWwuY29t#1

It’s definitely a Seller’s market. If you are thinking of selling, you can be aggressive with your price. There are so few listings and so much demand your property should sell quickly.

If you are thinking of selling your L’Ambiance unit, please call me before you do any major remodeling. I’d be happy to discuss current market conditions and give you selling tips. I have a list of buyers who are looking for specific units in L’Ambiance. I’d be happy to discuss not only the pricing in L’Ambiance but the pricing for low-rises in Pelican Bay and condos in Naples to see how your unit fits into the equation.

Prediction: Lots of International Buyers Over the Next Year

LAmbiance – Pelican Bay – Naples FL – I keep wondering what’s going to happen to our real estate prices once the U.S. opens its borders to foreign travelers. The article in the link below is a prediction of what international buyers will do.

Source: Prediction: Lots of International Buyers Over the Next Year

There is so little inventory, adding more buyers to the mix can only decrease the inventory even more. The principle of “supply vs demand” leads me to think the prices could go higher. Currently there are no units for sale in LAmbiance and only 32 units for sale in all of Pelican Bay.

I found it interesting that international buyers were purchasing by using Zoom, FaceTime, and WhatsApp to view properties. I’ve used Skype in the past to show properties and I LOVE the new apps available to day to communicate with my buyers and sellers.  It would have been nice to have some of this technology when I started out in the business.

LAmbiance is a beautiful place to live. My husband Don and I try to enjoy the beaches in Pelican Bay all summer long. Hopefully you are in town and can enjoy them too.

It’s definitely a Seller’s market. If you are thinking of selling, you can be aggressive with your price. There are so few listings and so much demand your property should sell quickly.

Most vacation buyers want income – not family getaways

LAmbiance – Pelican Bay – Naples Florida – I ran across this interesting article this morning while reading my trade e-magazines. This article gives the reader a good idea of the trends in second homes.

Source: Most vacation buyers want income – not family getaways

As I read this article I thought about all the buyers I’ve sold in Pelican Bay.  A large portion of these buyers are not ready to retire yet and want to be able to rent out their units, when they are not enjoying their residence, to help defray their holding costs. The property values in Pelican Bay are such that an investor would have to put a huge amount of money down to make the rental income numbers work. A purchaser would need to look at the rate his/her investment is currently earning versus the projected amount of appreciation a property could earn. Pelican Bay has very little inventory currently on the market. As of today there are only 31 low-rise condos on the market in Pelican Bay.

I am also seeing a number of Pelican Bay residents who used to rent out their units deciding not to rent them anymore as they are now using their units. This is causing a lack of rental properties which will, I believe, trigger higher rental prices.

What will happen to our property values in the 2019 season? I would think we would see property values rising due to lack of inventory but what I am currently seeing are more price reductions in the active listings. The over 1 million dollar market is smoking hot while the 500K to 1M market seems to be languishing.

I hope you all had a pleasant summer. LAmbiance looks forward to the return of its Northern residents.

LAmbiance’s Party

LAmbiance – Naples, FL – Our Welcome Back, Toys for Tots party held on November 12th was a HUGE success!  If you weren’t there you missed a nice evening.  Many thanks to L’Ambiance’s Social Committee for all their hard work in getting the party organized!

I went to the party intending to take lots of photos to post on our LAmbiance in Pelican Bay FaceBook page and on our blog but I got so busy talking I only managed to snap the following shots.
