Naples Florida Real Estate: Port Royal Naples Florida Real Estate Update.

Port Royal Naples, Florida is known as the most exclusive neighborhood in all of Naples.  Situated south of Olde Naples and Aqualane Shores, you’ll find some of the most exquisite estates in Southwest Florida.

So how does the best of the best fare during a tough market?  Although some people would like to believe Port Royal is “recession proof”, I couldn’t be so bold to agree.  In fact, some great news about Port Royal is the fact that some prices have come down and some Port Royal home owners have in fact negotiated a tad bit more than maybe they would’ve back in 2005-2006.

Here’s a brief synopsis of the current Port Royal Naples, Florida real estate market:

Active Listings:  44

List Prices:  $2,995,000 - $25,900,000

List Prices:  $3,800,000 - $10,750,000

Closed (2008) 17

List Prices:  $2,800,000 - $10,750,000

Here’s some Port Royal statistical information over the last 4 years:

If you’re thinking about purchasing in Port Royal you should know there is quite a bit for you to see but unfortunately, not all of them are offered through the IDX system.  As a matter of fact.  There are 44 Port Royal listings and only 27 of them are offered through IDX.  

What does that mean specifically?  When Port Royal home owners list their properties, many of them either don’t know their agent will not offer IDX availability or don’t want them to offer IDX availability which is the opportunity for other real estate agents and companies the ability to cooperatively market their listings.  This of course limits exposure and the possibility for Port Royal buyers to see everything available without contacting a real estate agent direct.  It used to be a tool some agents would use in an attempt to keep a corner on the market although that concept is quickly proving unsuccessful especially since over 80% of all buyers are beginning their search on the net.  You can’t buy what you don’t know is for sale...right?

You are welcome to view the 27 listings currently offered through IDX and if you would like a list of the properties not offered through IDX, I am happy to email you the full list of properties available in Port Royal.

Another special note:  Just because you purchase property in Port Royal does not necessarily mean you will have rights to the Port Royal Club.  If this is important to you, you’ll want to make sure the property you are purchasing has Port Royal Club membership availability. 

If you’re thinking about selling your Port Royal property you want to make sure your listing is getting the most exposure possible.  77% of the properties I sold this year were negotiated before the buyer ever physically saw the home or condo they were purchasing.  This was accomplished in large part due to a majority of the identification of the property occurring online with the assistance of my Naples Florida real estate website and my ability to send pictures, video and additional information which made it easy for my clients to write acceptable offers.  Open houses are still important as is the quality of the agent/company network but these proven ways of selling Port Royal are quickly taking a back seat to the power of the Internet.
