Some Like it Hot (well...mild) - In Naples!

Some Like it Hot (well...mild) - In Naples!

Welcome to summer time in Naples, FL.  In the local's opinions, this time of year is a treasured secret.  As most people are familiar with Florida's seasonal visitors and residents, the winter "season" is the most sought after.  The reason for this is quite simple, it is very warm and relaxing while most of America, Canada, and Europe is struggling with bitter cold.

Once the snow thaws and the temperatures start to rise, most people leave for their summer residences with a perception of Florida being even that much warmer in the summer.

We hear all of the time, "Isn't it burning hot in Naples in the summer?"  And the response is, "No."  There is a sea breeze blowing, and yes, it is warmer than our winter, but even cooler than many spots in the U.S. during summer.  Here's an example of our high temperatures throughout the year:

Naples Weather Southwest Florida is a tropical paradise. Warm temperatures, balmy breezes, sunny skies and an occasional shower are the norm for Naples. The Gulf Water temperature ranges from the mid 60's January through March and up into the mid 80's from June through September. Southwest Florida's average air temperature is 77 degrees. Average Climate, Rainfall and Gulf Temperature Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec High 77 76 82 86 88 90 91 92 91 87 83 78 Low 53 52 57 61 66 70 72 72 72 66 60 55 Rainfall (inches) 1.9 2.0 2.3 1.7 4.5 7.8 8.0 8.5 9.2 4.0 1.2 1.4 Gulf Water Temp (Fahrenheit) 66 66 71 77 82 86 87 87 86 81 73 68 *Weather chart provided by http://www.naples-florida.com/weather.htm What I would like to share with you at this point is that the weather in summer is not what you would perceive of a climate that yields a high of 77* in January. This time of year you will see a lot of the local businesses doing their necessary maintenance while there is the least amont of people in town.  You will see the golf courses doing their greens aerification practices, and the high blooming, high maintenance flowers might be out of the ground.  But if you can look past that and find the courses with greens that are healed from aerification, (just call around to golf courses and ask if they've aerated their greens in the last two weeks as it takes a couple weeks to heal) you will find a spectacular hidden gem.  Naples in summer! Golf rates, hotel rates, and some attractions are at lower rates in summer.  You will be surprised at how easy it is to get into you favorite restaurant this time of year too!  Going to a movie?  You might only have 3 or 4 other couples in the theatre with you.  Does this description of privacy and all that you expect from Naples sound good?  Well come on down!  You're the next to discover what you are missing in a Naples summer. That's it for now.  Any questions about the beautiful area?  Just give me a call or email.  Look forward to seeing you out there. P.S.  Summer sales...  that's all I'm going to say...  This blog presented by: +Naples Golf and Real Estate - Phillip M. Rigsby +Phillip M. Rigsby Premiere Plus Realty Co. 370 12th Ave S.

Naples, Florida area Buyers leaping off the fence!

Naples Florida area Buyers leaping off the fence!

Where:  Naples, FL. area

When:  Winter/Spring 2013

Who:  Buyers waiting for evidence

Why:  Because the time is right...

It's March 1st today, can you believe it?  Wow, heading toward putting the first quarter in the books for 2013.  Seems like we were just toasting the New Year in...  For those of us in the Real Estate arena in the Naples, Bonita Springs, Marco Island and Estero areas, have you used all of your Visine yet?  Early mornings and late nights showing, contracting and burning retinas at the computer screen, never felt so good.  Buyers are wanting their Sunshine home, and they want it NOW.  Evidence shows that we are continuing to run low on homes in inventory and the prices are continuing to climb.  Each report from our local Boards of Realtors shows us that these statistics are being noticed by potential Buyers.  It has caused those who have been waiting for evidence and confidence to jump off the fence and start enjoying their home, or investing and putting that home in a rental pool.

This evidence shown us that prices of two years ago are gone as we see them starting to rise.  Not many clairvoyants in the real estate buying game had the confidence to go all in, or in at all in that bottomed out time period, but those who did are feeling good now.  There is good news though... there is still time to have your place in the sun at a great price relative to what they will be in the coming months.  Better later than too late, is one way of thinking about it.  Feeling good about seeing the evidence and still making a good investment; nothing wrong with that...  I am seeing a lot of smiling faces ready for their home and taking advantage of it now.  Every real estate professional in the area is telling the same story.

Looking forward to speaking with you soon.  And if you are considering selling your home, for goodness sake, give me a call!  Inventory is low and I would love to sell your home quickly for you.  Now I am off to soak my eyes and keep my phone on vibrate for you to call.

Happy March 1st everyone!  Hope you are warm and safe with blessings coming your way.

Take Care!

Naples FL. Real Estate Market Report Jan 2013

Naples FL. Real Estate Market Report Jan 2013

2012 MEDIAN CLOSED PRICE INCREASED 17 PERCENT 

Where: Naples, FL. (Collier County)

When:  January 2013

Fabulous news keeps coming from one of the prettiest places in the world.  Naples, FL.'s housing market is setting the standard.  With the most recent Naples Area Board of Realtors' report, we are seeing the median price for home sales increasing 17% in 2012.

This is obviously fantastic news.  I remember just last April, reporting that Dr. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist of the National Association of REALTORS®, predicted a 10 percent increase in the overall median price by the end of 2012.  Many were skeptical when I told them this news.  And I have to admit, I was optimistic, but seeing where we had been in recent times, 10% seemed to be a lot...  We have seen the momentum starting to build, kept the faith, and joined with Buyers and Sellers on this endeavor of happiness making. It is a pleasure to report that the Naples real estate market improved beyond expectations for 2012.  And now 2013 has started off with a bang.  Many foreign investors are wanting a part of the action and a piece of this sunny paradise.  We see it everyday here in the Naples area.  My business on RightMove Overseas is really buzzing as those who dream of a tropical climate with the character and luxury of Naples are seeing the great affordability before prices rebound even more.

Another real estate industry article shows Naples as being in the top 10 Best Housing Markets through 2016.  This is great news for everyone in the area, AND those that have been tip toeing the fence as to whether to pack their swim suit, golf clubs, sunglasses and become a proud new home owner in the sun.

We are looking forward to welcoming you, talk to you soon!
