I mean C'MON! This weather! 😍
Couldn't help but have Ice Cream for Lunch,
and am heading to the Beach for Sunset :) Postscript, see photo below :)
I love that my Story this month includes a couple that was referred to me 4 years ago by a friend of a friend that loved the job I did for them. There's no better feeling than seeing evidence that you did a great job for someone! So these folks rented over the years, bided their time but recognized that THIS was finally the year to make a purchase commitment. After much pondering, they are now under contract on a lovely condo in Pelican Bay! (Of course you know it's one of my favorites - just a wonderful community full of good people that share a love for Nature, the Beach, walking, biking, tennis & dining. 🥰)
Next up is another fabulous couple that were recommended by friends of theirs that bought with me 2 years ago and wanted their friends here with them! Word is they are working on a few more couples to join them. 😄 Where? Pelican Bay of course! I feel like all of my Pelican Bay customers could meet at a party and instantly be best friends! These wonderful folks just closed a few days ago!
It's an honor to be a part of these Buyers
Naples Stories! Speaking of BUYERs...
THIS IS A GREAT TIME to buy in SW Florida.
BUYERS: Sellers got the message this Season and the price reductions have been historical in number. I don't mean that our market is in freefall, or has lost Value. No, no... there has just been a decision by Buyers that the price escalations had reached the top and needed rolling back...and they're rolling! That coupled with the most property actively listed on the Market in 13 years, I promise, it's a great year to BUY.
SELLERS: Prices have definitely adjusted back a Season or 2 as you know by now but while right-pricing is essential, the amount of Buyers ready to dive in is far and few between. So the properties that are selling in this area, this year, are: the best price, the biggest VIEW, the Best Re-Model or the best SOMEthing!
There are things that can't be changed like location, view, size. So FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT. If it is vacant, consider having it physically staged. Most BUYERS BUY WITH THEIR EMOTIONS, Investors with their spreadsheets. Offer Buyer concessions like credits towards closing, Buyer Agent Compensation, furnishings, credits towards assessments. Experienced agents like myself can give you suggestions to stand out in today's market.
Price is very important but so are Buyer
perceptions and concerns.
Whether Seller or Buyer, one of the many ways I can help you is by working with you to understand your priorities, needs/ wants, and concerns. Don't think you are "wasting my time" by contacting me to discuss your thoughts. I hope it's the beginning of a beautiful relationship!
