A similar question was asked today by a caller from Canada; :Can I buy anything in
Pelican Bay for $200,000"?
The long answer:
NOTHING
The short answer:
NADA
Now I know everybody everywhere has both eyeballs on the news these days especially those outside the US who not only get "our" news but also get "their" news...but here's a timely, up to the second, completely accurate and not even a little bit slanted towards any direction other than the truth.
The lowest priced listing in
Pelican Bay Naples Florida right now is in fact $320,000, it's not $200,000 and no they won't take that. Technically that would be 62.5% of the list price. Wanna know how many people have been able to negotiate that far off a
Pelican Bay list price this year?
The long answer:
NOBODY
The short answer:
0
So who struck the best deal in Pelican Bay this year? Well, I'll give you a hint...it was the same person who paid 12 million for their property located in
The Strand at Bay Colony. His final negotiation was 73% of list price.
Just in case you wondering...average percentage of sales price in Pelican Bay for 2008 (so far) is 91% (That includes the 12 million dollar deal that went for 73% and also the one that went for 101%)
"Their" news doesn't report that and neither has ours but those are the true and actual numbers as displayed in our local Multiple Listing Service.
For more information regarding Pelican Bay, ask an expert...preferably a local expert and preferably a "Smart Girl" :)
