The flow of Naples foreclosures is unpredictable. Buyers are still looking at distressed properties first, and sometimes, they aren’t always available when they are expected. Buyers often scour the internet, read their Naples foreclosure list that was emailed to them, create a favorites list and fly down to Naples, often a little over-zealous, to look at their listings. Unfortunately, when they arrive, the distressed properties are already gone or already in a highest and best multi-offer bidding situation. Depending on what buyers are looking for, they may have nothing to look at in their price range and property type. Then, a week later, a bunch of terrific deals flood the market. This unpredictablility is not a problem for buyers, it just means that buyers need to exercise patience and due their part in monitoring the market. There is no doubt that the distressed properties are often the best option for buyers.
In the last 16 months, Naples foreclosures made up over three quarters of all sales. In the first quarter of 2010, they only represented half. This doesn’t mean distressed sales are increasing, certainly not in frequency, but the inventory of distressed properties is shrinking. To many, this means the beginning of the end of the down period. Many think that Naples real estate is making a big comeback and Naples foreclosures and Naples short sales are leading the way.
