Holidays at LAmbiance in Pelican Bay

December 19, 2014

LAmbiance – Pelican Bay – Naples, FL –  Rounding the corner into LAmbiance last night I truly enjoyed seeing our holiday lights.  We look so festive.

I wish these photos did the lights more justice.  Our entryway looks great and I have to compliment our decorating committee!

Tuesday night Don, my husband, and I went down to the new Marker 36; formerly known as The Sandpiper.  The place was extremely crowded but I did snap some photos for you to see.  CLICK HERE  I’m happy with the improvements and I think the new look is a benefit to our community.

While the holidays are just around the corner, we have had a bit of real estate activity in LAmbiance as units came pending.  To view all the active, pending and closed LAmbiance sales since the beginning of the year, CLICK HERE . I am anticipating a very busy season.  As of today, there are only 28 low rise listings on the market.  With so little inventory on the market, I can see prices starting to appreciate. Buyers are having a hard time recognizing the market has improved.

Have you started your Summit Broadband service yet? I would recommend you sign up and get scheduled as soon as possible.  Here’s a link for information on how to contact Summit —- CLICK HERE. Once Residents start coming back in January I imagine that Summit will be swamped with calls to set up service. Pelican Bay’s contract with Comcast ends in February 2015.  Don & I started our service on November 19th.  We went through some issues that took a while to get resolved but I am happy to report that our service is working fine.  I do want to say that Summit was a great deal more receptive in trying to solve our issues than Comcast.  Every time I turn on our TV I am AMAZED at the quality of the picture!

REMINDER – If you use a Comcast e-mail address that is linked to your Comcast service here in Naples, you will lose that address when you switch over to Summit Broadband.  You’ll want to change your e-mail address before the switch over to Summit happens.  Yahoo, Google and Outlook.com offer free e-mail services. Note: If you change your e-mail address, please let me know so I can keep you updated.

Should you be thinking of selling your home in Lambiance and want to know what your home is worth  in today’s market, I am happy to give you a free market evaluation. Feel free to call me at 239-594-2780 or e-mail me at Lynn@NaplesBuys.com

Holidays in LAmbiance

November 10, 2014

LAmbiance – Pelican Bay – Naples FL – The other day I noticed our Holiday lights were installed on the palm trees by LAmbiance’s front gate.  These lights will turn on after Thanksgiving for the holidays.  My first reaction when I saw that the lights were up was, “How did the holidays get here so fast?” Do you feel the same way?

It has been a busy year in LAmbiance with the new roof installations, the new gutters being installed, the buildings being power washed and the work being done on the 300 building. To top off our noise level this fall, Pelican Bay began resurfacing Pelican Bay BLVD.  The resurfacing work will be done soon.

Will you be having company over the holidays?  The Wilber family always seems to have company……at many times during the year. In case you don’t feel like cooking on Thanksgiving, Publix has a ready-made Thanksgiving turkey dinner with 5 side dishes.  All you have to do is heat the turkey! Our family has ordered from Publix in the past and it has made Thanksgiving very enjoyable.  For details of Publix’s Thanksgiving menu: CLICK HERE

This Thanksgiving will find me cooking as I’m lucky to have my brother, Patrick in town for Thanksgiving. I’ll be making our Mother’s recipe for turkey with stuffing. It’s not often that Don and I get to have Patrick with us at Thanksgiving.

If you have company over the holidays and don’t feel like cooking, you can order a Pasta Presto meal for 4 on-line from either Brio’s or Bravo’s.  Don and I have done this several times. You can choose one salad, one entre from different selections and the meal comes with their bread and dipping oil.  You’ll find the Pasta Presto meals under the catering tabs. This is a life saver when you are exhausted and no one feels like cooking.

LAmbiance’s toy drive party is being held this Sunday, November 16th from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM at the LAmbiance Clubhouse.  All are welcome. Please BYOB, an appetizer and an unwrapped toy or a check made payable to the Salvation Army.  Don and I will be there, will you?

What’s happening in the real estate market in LAmbiance? CLICK HERE We now have 7 units for sale in LAmbiance, 3 units are pending and since the beginning of the year there have been 7 sales.  As of today, there are only 29 low-rise listings for sale in LAmbiance.

How LAmbiance Spent Its Summer Vacation!

September 5, 2014

LAmbiance – Pelican Bay, Naples, FL – LAmbiance has been in a flurry of activity this summer. Our new roofs were finished, our buildings have been power washed.  I want to say that I was impressed by the professionalism of Castilla Roofers. The original gutter work has been completed. The LAmbiance Board has asked for additional work to be completed.

LAmbiance Roof Replacement Prior To Completion

In addition to all of the above mentioned work, Summit Broadband was installing their cables for their fiber optic network.

Summit has recently begun installing boxes for the Optical Network Terminals on the coach homes and in the utility enclosures on the garden homes. Yes, it has been a busy summer in LAmbiance.

REMINDER – If you have been using a Comcast e-mail address that was linked to your Comcast service here in Naples, you will lose that address when you switch over to Summit Broadband.  You’ll want to change your e-mail address before the switch over to Summit happens.  Yahoo, Google and Outlook.com offer free e-mail services. Note: If you change your e-mail address, please let me know so I can keep you updated.

What’s been happening in the real estate market?  There are currently only 4 listings for sale in LAmbiance.  We have one pending sale and have had 6 closed sales since the beginning of the year.  To view details of all this information double click on this link: LAMBIANCE REAL ESTATE DETAILS

What’s been happening in the low-rise condominium market in Pelican Bay? As of today, here are the latest statistics. Note closed sales represent closed sales from the period of January 1, 2014 – September 5, 2014.

LOW-RISE CONDO ACTIVITY IN PELICAN BAY

# of Units 27 4 72
Average Price $707,167.00 $456,625.00 $446,434.00
Days on Market 158 230 133

I want everyone to notice the number of active listing on the market —- there are just TWENTY-SEVEN listings. Granted this is the fall but this inventory has been getting lower for awhile.  Also note the average price of the pending sales vs the closed sales. It has been my past experience that when the average price of the pending sales have been higher than the average price of the closed sales, an increase in prices were around the corner.  If you have been thinking about putting your LAmbiance unit on the market, give me a call.

Let’s talk about 2015 seasonal rentals in Pelican Bay. Please remember I do not handle rentals. What I can tell you is that seasonal rentals for the 2015 market are almost non-existent in Pelican Bay. Even though I do not handle rentals, my phone has been ringing off the hook with people looking for 2015 seasonal rentals. The interoffice e-mail I receive has a constant stream of e-mails from agents looking for rentals in Pelican Bay. I have seen the prices of seasonal rentals increasing. The lease expensive rental listing in the MLS as of today in Pelican Bay is a unit in Laurel Oaks for $5,200.00 a month in season. My husband, Don, has teased me that we should rent our unit out and move to Costa Rica for 3 months. I reminded him it would be a bit hard for me to list and sell properties in Costa Rica!

This summer was not only a busy one for LAmbiance but for Naples in general.  I have to say that this August was the busiest August I have seen in the 18 years I’ve lived in Naples! I saw two car carriers in July in Pelican Bay which made me wonder if people were just leaving or coming to live here.  Just this week I saw two car carrier dropping off cars.  Hotels and restaurants in Naples were busy this August.

Don and I have made good use of the South Beach this year.  One of the many things we like about living in LAmbiance and Pelican Bay is the beach in the summertime. Every day after work, rain permitting, Don and I try to get to the beach to relax and enjoy the warm Gulf waters.

If you have been thinking of selling your L’Ambiance unit, please give me a call 239-594-2780 or e-mail me at Lynn@NaplesBuys.com I’d be happy to discuss current market conditions and the price I think your unit would sell.

LAmbiance We Had a Problem

February 20, 2014

LAmbiance-Pelican Bay-Naples, FL – "The best-laid plans of mice and men / Often go awry." LAmbiance’s plans didn’t anticipate the wrong color tile being delivered. The correct color tile was ordered and hopefully will be delivered tomorrow with work to being on the 2400 building on Monday.

At present we still have the wrong color tile placed, not installed, on the 2400 building.

2400 Building Lambiance 2-20-2014

As you can see from these photos, the roofers have worked their way counter clockwise from the 2400 taking the old tile off the roofs. They then have been placing the peel and stick water proofing materials on the roofs.

Lambiance Roofs 2-20-2014

I’ve been told by our director, Don Wilber, that once the roofers get the correct tile, each roof should take approximately 2 days to complete.  My sister-in-law, Millie, is coming for a visit tomorrow from Chicago. I hoped that our building would be completed before her visit.  I have a feeling the noise won’t bother Millie because she will be too busy enjoying warm weather, blue skies, sun and NO SNOW!
