Naples, FL Real Estate Update
Greetings from Southwest Florida! The dog days of summer really held true this year with business slower than past summers. September puts kids across the country back in school and folks are settling in from a summer of fun and travel. With that said, Southwest Florida will be on the minds of many to purchase a second home, relocate or vacation before the snow flies.

Welcome to Naples
Under $400k
This is the  most active of the markets now and has been over time. However, there are  plenty of choices to pick from depending on location. If you are open in terms of the area, then you will have all kinds of properties to cull and choose from.   
$400k - $1M
Homes in this price range are harder to sell but there are still a lot of buyers looking. If you want to be on the water, then choices will not be as plentiful than if you want something non-waterfront. All in all, there is a lot to pick from in this parameter.
 $1M - $5M
We are now entering a price point where, while there is movement, there are  plenty of properties with very  long market times.  Buyers are in the driver's seat on the pricing for sure and can, often times, achieve a very good deal. 
$5M and up
Aqualane Shores and Port Royal continue to chug along as waterfront properties remain in relatively high demand. In fact, a beachfront property in Naples on Gordon Drive recently closed for $50M! However, if the home is on a dry lot, there are plenty to pick from in Olde Naples, Golf Clubs and the like. For dry lot buyers, you have "the com" as they said in Star Trek! 
New Homes in Communities
There are great opportunities in this arena. Builders are making great deals, providing all kinds of incentives and doing everything to attract buyers into their community. Recently I had a closing where the builder  was asking $625K and it closed for $545K after I did some negotiating . Now that is a real deal! BTW...if you are considering a new home I can represent you and most times get you a very good deal . All builders welcome agents and it does not affect the price at all. In fact, a buyer with a good agent will actually save you $$$$ !
In Summary
  1. If you are a buyer, make a  move sooner rather than later provided what you want is out there. In the vast majority of cases, there IS a large selection for buyers.
  2. If you are a seller, get aggressive with your asking price and price to the Comparables, or even under the Comps. Also, if you are competing with new homes, you will need to price well below the price of a new, similar home. Buyers prefer something new, or newer, versus an older home.

Thank you for taking the time to read my newsletter! Till next time!

Zillow Premier Agent
Attention Zillow Users

You're sitting at home, perusing properties on Zillow when, suddenly, the phone rings and it's Zillow calling. With just a few questions, of course.
You don't have to get that call.

As a Zillow Premier Agent, with all of my experience, I know how annoying that can be.
2 Ways to Avoid "The Call"
  1. Forward the property directly  to me: 
    [email protected] to get your questions answered.
  2. Direct Message the property to me.
Both of these actions bypass the Zillow call and you will get the information you need.

I hope this helps all of you frustrated Zillow Users. Always happy to assist. Feel free to contact me directly:

Chris Spina reviews

Zillow Users Weigh-in
on Chris Spina 
 
"We first met Chris 7 years ago when he helped us buy our first home, that experience was fantastic, Chris treated us with respect when other realtors didn't because we had a limited budget. 7 years later, it was time to move so of course we went back to Chris to sell the house he had helped us buy.  Chris has a deep knowledge of the area, and the real estate process. Everything from start to finish was handled correctly and diligently. Chris was always available even for the most neurotic of requests and questions; never making us feel like a burden. We are so thankful for Chris's support and expertise, he made the stress of selling a house a positive experience. Thanks Chris, you're the best!"

"Chris was there every step of the way...with practical and actionable advice and no high-pressure sales tactics...If you are looking in the Naples area for a no-nonsense Realtor that cares about finding you your dream home, choose Chris Spina of Spina Realty."     

"...I had the opportunity to spend the morning viewing real estate with Chris...Our time together was an education in local real estate. Chris was informed and entertaining. He kept things moving and left us feeling assured that we had made the right decision in contacting him. This is the guy you need to call."

"...We contacted Chris (partly on the basis of his Zillow reviews). We were not disappointed. He knew the area...and the market conditions and he helped us structure a successful offer. All around great job."
