After a couple of years of increased sales volume, the market has now leveled out. Inventory is growing, but it is still much lower than it has been historically. Sellers need to be a bit sharper in their pricing, and buyers need to be ready to act on listings they like.
First, you need to have a good idea of what you are looking for. Balance out what you need vs. what you want. Make a list and be clear. The better you can relay to your Realtor what you ideally need, the better we will be able to help you. If you are getting a mortgage to purchase… get pre-qualified, we can help connect you with local lenders.
First, be sure your decision to sell is clear, then get your ducks in a row. A Realtor is a good source to help you do that. We can help you by making suggestions to prepare your property for sale. You will also want to make a list of special features and recent improvements to help better represent your property in the best way possible. A seller’s disclosure in not required, but is very beneficial for ensuring a smooth transaction.

While a decent amount of people live in Collier County full time, a good majority of our residents are seasonal, so this is traditionally a second home market. When you hear national statistics on real estate, it most often does not apply to the second home market. Second home buyers often are in a different financial situation than first time home buyers.
