CHRIS & DEANE'S 2-for-1 SALE

                   COLLIER COUNTY HOME SALES SOAR IN APRIL

Report Shows Double-Digit Increases for Single-Family Homes and Condos NAPLES, Fla. – May 16, 2008 –

High season in Naples culminated in strong home sales and the busiest month this year for local Realtors®, 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).

“We are thrilled to report positive numbers for April in both the single-family home and condo markets,” said Arlene Carozza, NABOR president and Realtor. “Lower-priced properties continue to comprise the majority of transactions, but we are now starting to see sales increase in the higher-priced categories, which is indicative of overall market improvement.”

Mike Timmerman, a senior associate with Fishkind & Associates, agrees with the reports findings. “The passing of Amendment 1 has helped to motivate buyers and spur sales, including the high-end market,” said Timmerman. “In addition, dropped prices have made people contemplating a purchase decide that now is the time to buy.”

We can all breathe a sigh of relief. The housing crisis is over.
