How Symbolic!
I took this photo yesterday (NOT A.I.) outside of Surf Colony III (17 Bluebill) because, OK, I was being a bit judgey...perhaps I just couldn't believe the vendors didn't notice they were tracking paint ALL the way from the front door to the far end of the parking lot, and then I thought, "Ah, Florida. This would NEVER happen in NYC without heads rolling. Lucky me to be here still in the land of "anything goes" 😆, which progressed to realizing the parallel between the recent end-of-Season "exit en masse", and this visual representation in front of me. That segued to, "This HAS to go in my newsletter for so many reasons" which progressed to, "Yikes, I am LATE with my April issue 😬".
So... HERE I AM and I apologize for missing April entirely. I hope you all had great trips home and I do thank you for clearing the roads and restaurants. Do you know I pretty much drove straight from 41 to this building at the far West End of Immokalee Rd @ Delnor Wiggins Beach without using my brakes (much) LOL. OMG, pure heaven. OF COURSE I LOVE YOU!! But I invite you to visit sometime in the Summer just to enjoy the more laidback Florida feel of Naples off-Season and you'll get it... 🥰😌
That said, another new place in Mercato is having its Grand Opening Tonight, probably miffed to have MISSED Season. Anyway it's called "Beeline" and I'm going to check it out tonight, with friends, to see what the Vibe is...strictly in the name of Research, of course. 😎 💃🏻 (Postscript: it's a Bar-Drinks only place but a fun, lively atmosphere).

Back to BIZ! So happy to see my loong-time Buyer Prospects close this month on their Pebble Creek Condo purchase in Pelican Bay. After so many years of renting in the Moorings, they got OUT of the Flood Zone and into Peace of Mind. The Sellers love Pelican Bay so much, they are simply upgrading to a Single Family home there so Congratulations to them as well.
My Regent Park Sellers also closed this month, very Bittersweet, but just found they never had time to come down! They are threatening to come back in a few years, once retired, and buy in... Pelican Bay of course! Movin' uptown I say 🎶
Speaking of Movin'...Overall Naples Sales definitely picked up later in our Season, maybe akin to 2019 Pre-Pandemic activity, and that's good but still left an enormous amount of un-sold Inventory on the table. 85% of this North Naples Coastal Market has reduced prices, many several times, and to be fair Buyers - Naples is not having a Fire Sale. This is not a Housing Recession, just a healthy adjustment of pricing that was getting a bit ambitious after the Pandemic Buyer activity pushed the prices to the Moon. Well they're back and, in my opinion, where they should be.
Consider my Listing in this 17 Bluebill building I've been referring to (details under my FOR SALE column). Priced at $799k, it is, first of all, WALKING DISTANCE TO BLUEBILL BEACH. It sits on the 6th floor with a spectacular wide and long view of the Bay, Delnor-Wiggins Park and the Gulf beyond. It is a 2-bedroom NEWLY renovated condo in one of the BEST MANAGED buildings in the Area (Thank you Lara) and one with the HIGHEST ELEVATION in the Bluebill area. (The 15 Bluebill Owners argue that THEIRS is the highest- let's give them both that medal for being the farthest from trouble.) Recent Special Assessments to cover Pool improvements and brand new Elevators are complete with NO FURTHER ASSESSEMENTS ON THE HORIZON. It passed all of its STRUCTURAL INSPECTIONS (MileStone) and SIRS requirements
(Reserve Study).
Let's not forget this development is hitched to Gulf Shore Drive, one of the most prestigious addresses in Naples with the RITZ-CARLTON and RITZ-CARLTON RESIDENCES (under construction) down the street, and, for Pete's Sakes, it's NAPLES!!! The Naples that just keeps getting better and I've been coming here since 1990 after growing up with my Summers spent in the HAMPTONS which now seem completely boring in comparison!
ANYWAY, my point is Hurricane Shmurricanes, Naples is not going away- just keeps getting stronger every storm and attracting the likes of every Sophisticated person that hears of it. BTW, was so awesome to see Andre Agassi playing a couple of days ago in our PickleBall US Open.

I don't see how this Condo is not snapped up already but that's what our market looks like right now. A LOT of GREAT Inventory sitting here waiting for Buyers to feel more comfortable with the World. With the Economy where it is, it is so important to be continuing to diversify your Holdings and, if you can squeak it, this is where to put some of it!
THIS IS A GREAT TIME to buy in SW Florida.

Feeling the love from my March
BreakWater Buyers 🥹☺️
Allison Callas is an exceptional real estate agent! We recently purchased a condo in Pelican Bay and Allison was recommended to us by friends who had also used her for their buying process. Allison met with us to get a thorough understanding of our needs and priorities.
Since we were visiting for a short period of time, we appreciated how quickly Allison set up showings that aligned well with our needs and tight schedule. When we fell in love with one place early on, she encouraged us to keep an open mind and we ended up purchasing an amazing condo for much less than the one we had initially focused on...
