Housing Inventory Ends 5 Year Low

Naples real estate activity in 2011 has led to a five-year low in inventory, according to a report released by the Naples Area Board of Realtors (NABOR), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island). Statistics compiled by NABOR show an increase in overall sales with inventory diminishing in Collier County, which is an encouraging sign that the favorable market conditions are moving buyers. The available inventory declined 17 percent in 2011 with 7,581 available properties compared with 9,145 available properties in 2010. In the under-$300,000 market category, the available inventory declined 21 percent to 3,771 properties in 2011 compared with 4,763 properties in 2010. Every market category showed sale increases in both pending and closed sales with the largest increase in the $1 million and above categories.

Golf Tip of the Month  

 

  

 Look at the grain to determine whether to chip or putt.

 

When your ball is off the green, you need to make a decision as to whether you will putt or chip the ball onto the green. If you're fairly close to the green and the fairway is cut low, by all means putt the ball rather than chip it. Look at the grain of the grass. If it is lying against you, never try to chip the ball. The grass will simply catch and stop your club. Chip or pitch when you need to carry over long grass or slopes that are on your line.
