Sunshine Shunned: Snowbirds Hesitant about Florida Return

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

Source: Sunshine Shunned: Snowbirds Hesitant about Florida Return

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.

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.

Fla.’s Home Sales and Prices Up, Inventory Tight in March

LAmbiance – Pelican Bay- Naples, FL – I ran across this article this morning in one of my trade e-mails and thought you might like to read it.

Source: Fla.’s Home Sales and Prices Up, Inventory Tight in March

Yes, inventory is certainly tight. This morning when I checked the MLS for active low-rise liatings in Pelican Bay there were only NINE listings! It is a Seller’s market with multiple offers coming in on properties. Seller’s can be aggressive with their pricing in today’s market because of so few listings on the market.

There are currently no available listings for sale in L’Ambiance. Two of the second floor coach homes are currently pending sales listed at just over a million dollars.

No matter if you are in your Northern home or your L’Ambiance home I hope you and your families are well. Don and I have had both our vaccination shots and have started venturing out more. Having to spend the pandemic in Naples last year was not a huge burden.

Last week was our first night out to our Marker36 restaurant in over a year. We were there again last night and were treated with a gorgeous sunset that I was unable to capture. I wanted to be able to share it here and on our Facebook page. Next time I will make sure my devices are working.

Canadian Snowbirds Delaying Fla. Visits Until COVID-19 Eases

Lambiance – Pelican Bay – Naples, FL – I saw this article in my trade e-mail this morning and wanted to share it with you.

Travel decisions for our Canadian snow birds likely are contingent on how much longer the U.S.-Canadian border remains shut or if Florida’s COVID-19 cases rise or fall in the next few months.

Source: Canadian Snowbirds Delaying Fla. Visits Until COVID-19 Eases

As I read this article, I thought about L’Ambiance’s Canadian owners and our Canadian renters who return to us. Until Canada reopens the boarder to the U.S., they won’t be visiting. I haven’t seen any stats about the lack of European visitors this summer as of yet.

The Naples Board of Realtors July Stats showed a decrease of -3.2% in Naples Beach Area condo median closed sale price.  You can view the full report just click here —- report. Just scroll down to the Naples Beach stats on page 17.  All and all I’d say the market is doing pretty good considering we are in a pandemic.

L’Ambiance’s palm trees were trimmed this and the coconuts were removed. This made for some pretty interesting sounds. I’m always happy to see the coconuts down before a hurricane. I can just picture a storm slamming them into a window.  Our Hong Kong Orchid trees were also trimmed too.

So, how have you been managing through the pandemic? Don and I have pretty much stayed close to home. We usually do quit a bit of entertaining but that has stopped. We find ourselves virtually entertaining on Skype or Zoom now. We hope you and your families are all safe and healthy.
