Hello again from Tropics Real Estate!
Wow! Summer in Naples Florida is just buzzing along. One more month and our shoulder season of October will be here! Meanwhile the Naples area has some real estate and tourism specials going on:
Naples Square now has a "fly and buy" through December 31st where you can earn up to $2500 credit and some other goodies:
- $2,500 credit to be applied at closing or for options when purchasing a residence in Naples Square on their trip to Naples.
- Preferred Neighbor Rate for Luxury Accommodations at Bellasera Condominium Hotel on 9th Street South and 3rd Ave South
- Complimentary Golf for Two at the Country Club of Naples
- Discounts for Restaurants, Naples Princess Cruises, and other shops and services
- Discounts at the Woodhouse Day Spa
A Tropics team member just sold another one this week (a Chelsea) to a couple who had only discovered Naples two days earlier. Originally they flew to Ft. Lauderdale with the intention of going down to Key West to buy a place. But when they got there, it didn't have such a good feel for them. So they backtracked to Ft. Lauderdale to look around. Meanwhile they decided to take a little day trip to Naples since they had never been here before. And they loved it! I've seen them in our office three times, and every time, they have been beaming!
Naples Square turned out to be a good fit for them because they wanted to be able to walk to downtown Fifth Avenue; they wanted something new for under a million; and they wanted a place with a spacious feel. The first building of four is expected to come out of the ground in September and not close till September of 2015. For those of you wanting a good investment opportunity with a delayed closing, this one is a jewel! Prices continue to move up so you will want to get in quickly.
Right now the only units still available in the first building start in the 600s; but reservations are being taken for smaller units in the next building. Pricing is not done yet, but it does put you in line ahead of others to get that information. For those of you who have not heard of Naples Square, here is the website complete with virtual tours.
We were also able to negotiate a summer discount for our customer. If you have an interest in Naples Square be sure to let me know. I will get a complete packet to you with current pricing.
