Home Sales are Up and it’s Snowing in Southwest Florida! Both statements are TRUE!

I hope they hate snow - Come on Down to Sunny Naples Florida, where it NEVER... I mean...

Naples real estate sales are up, and overall, Naples FL home sales will be different this year. Last night, Naples held its annual tree lighting ceremony during their festival of lights. Everyone gathers in downtown Naples on 5^th Ave and the Mayor comes out and does his thing and they light the tree like every other small town in America. Cool, right? Yes. But not nearly as neat as the fake snow generated by a bubbly soap that gives you the feeling it is snowing! In sunny Naples Florida! This event marks the beginning of the season. Thanksgiving is only a couple days away, then everyone will storm the Naples stores for Black Friday. Then, instead of making an extra trip to the next strip mall, I have a feeling this year, people will be shopping for real estate instead.

I have been fielding calls all offseason, the busiest yet, and many times, I get the comment, “Well, I’m definitely interested in Naples real estate, but I won’t be down until the season, we’ll talk then.” Many of my clients are planning trips in December and January, and most will stay through March. I will be booked solid this season.

Interest in Naples homes for sale is high. Investors are buying income generating Naples condos on the cheap. They are paying cash, and they are going fast. Of course, Naples foreclosures have a lot to do with the Naples real estate boom.
