When you move to Naples Florida for the fishing and, see dolphins

So, you have made the decision, after months, maybe years of pondering where your next home move will take you, finally you have made up your mind and Naples is at the top of your list.

You take the plunge, buy a home and move in.  But will you have buyers remorse, will you wake up wondering why on earth you chose Naples to call home?

Maybe, or maybe not, here are some things you may want to know before you make that final jump.

  

 

  1. They don't call Florida the Sunshine State, for nothing!  Be prepared to wake up to around 264 sunny days per year, and even those that are cloudy are probably not going to stay cloudy all day.

As a Realtor having a website is really important, having one that produces leads is even more important.  

For a while now I have been talking to my clients asking not just obvious things such as “where did you get my name?”  or “how did you find us”.  But more trying to find out what made them stay with us to search for their new home in Naples and trying to find out from those who did not, why they left and looked elsewhere.  Most of this research was done with our real estate website in mind.

So, why is it that in a place like Florida we are not all using solar power?  After all, we have the most sunshine of any state in the USA, there is hardly a day goes by without the sun. Yet, we are still relying heavily on electricity.  Oddly enough, Florida…

A hot topic amongst Naples homes owners at the moment is Flood Insurance!  Everyone I have talked to recently seems to be under pressure from their insurance companies,  ever since the last large hurricane to hit Naples, namely Wilma, after which many insurance companies had to pay out a lot of money.  It seems that the insurance companies are making it difficult, especially for those of us that live out in Golden Gate Estates, Naples to get insurance at a reasonable price.  I myself have had to change my insurance company over the last year, and now, I have just been informed that after living here for five years, happy in the knowledge that I live on a piece of land that is high and dry, (a fact proved by having no standing water on my property at any…

The inventory level of available properties in the greater Naples area is the lowest its been in over six years, and no one can predict exactly how tight the market will get. The Naples home price gap between list price and the sales price continues to narrow, indicating that properties are priced accurately for local market conditions.
