Happy December All ☃️
I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving. I greatly enjoyed a 2-week visit from my expat daughter + her boyfriend Carlo, in from Milano, along with one of my Brothers, sister-in-law, their kids and their kids' kids. LOL. Funny to be this age now and see firsthand how one person
becomes TEN! 😱
Very enjoyable was seeing Naples through Carlo's native Milanese eyes. More than the stunning Real Estate and chic restaurants with delectable food and ambience, more than the exotic car shows, abundant farmers' markets, fake snow on 5th and Christmas tree lightings... the thing he really loved doing every chance he could was Kayaking through the winding path of Mangroves that snake through Clam Bay in Pelican Bay, pausing to take photos of the local inhabitants:
| I love that his Instagram highlights are more about the serenity and beauty of Florida, injected with his own 25 yo perspective of course. 😄 Wish I could put all his photos here, they were super! He also loved driving on back roads to the other coast, counting Alligators along the way, and checking out a Rodeo in West Palm Beach, because anything in cowboy hats seems very American to him. I do think it was his first time having American Meatloaf w/browned bacon & crushed tomato sauce on top, & roasted onion & red-wine simmered Pot Roast. Ok they're both a little modified from the classic American recipes but both went over well ;) | |
His other favorite Activity was Pickleball which I am excited to tell you is ever-expanding here. The new courts (both Tennis & Pickle) have officially opened in the Pelican Bay Community Park across Hammock Oak from the Community Center! I definitely left my blood, sweat and tears on the courts already 😂 playing with him and my brother/sis-in-law, and so has HE, playing in his Italian loafers. It's an Italian thing HAHA. Well, and something about my daughter's stuff taking up all the luggage so his sneakers didn't fit.
True no doubt.
Anyway, I've consumed the last of the leftovers (thank GOD) and am back to sensible living and finally getting my Newsletter done again! You may have noticed on the last one that, for fun, I decided to count how many of these I've sent through the years and as it turns out, this is my 103rd issue!!! Holy Smokes, so many of you have been sticking with me for so long and I am truly honored that you find this Newsletter valuable. As always, if you have suggestions, I'm all ears!
So let's get down to the Market!
| DOWNING-FRYE MARKET REPORT | |
OVERALL: I feel optimistic about this year's Real Estate market as so much of what Buyers have been waiting for is in play! Lots of Inventory, attractive interest rates, adjusted pricing, quiet storm season, a town completely invested in itself and getting more exciting to live in every year.
BUYERS: If you are considering a purchase this year, you will continue to have choices as the Inventory is building for Season '26. The Luxury market is particularly strong!
SELLERS: This is going to be an Active Season, we believe, with a quiet storm season behind us 😅 and a larger pool of Buyers than the last 2 years. In most communities though, there is a lot of (growing) Inventory so you will need to continue to be realistic about pricing. Naples values are absolutely above pre-pandemic numbers but generally have pulled back to roughly 25% more than early 2020 pricing. Every community is a little different depending on demand and availability but overall this is my observation. If you've got a great property, put it out there at a competitive price and it will sell!
| Whether Seller or Buyer, one of the many ways I can help you is by defining and working the PROCESS with you as I learn 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! | IF YOU'RE STILL LOOKING TO RENT for at least 2 months between January '25 and May '26, be SURE to check out this listing: | |
