I have updated the statistics for Pelican Bay! Click on the catagories to view the reports. Our Low Rise Statistics show that we currently have 102 active listings on the market with 13 pending sales and 32 closed sales. Since April 30th, Low rises have seen a decrease in active listings and increases in closed sales and unsold listings. As of June 18, 2008, 58% of all Low Rises are failing to sell. The average price of an unsold low rise listing in Pelican Bay is currently at $622,861.00. The bulk of Low Rises closed sales, 23 of the 32 closed sales, are all under $599,999.00. Since the beginning of the year there has only been one sale between $600,000.00 - $699,999.00. There were 7 sales between $700,000.00 - $1,150,000. 16 of those 32 closed sales were 3 bedroom units with an average sales price of $558,938.00. It is interesting to note that the average price of an active 3 bedroom listing is $637,929.00, while the average price of an unsold 3 bedroom listing is $641,968.00. I guess these sellers have not read my blog entry Strip Joints and Selling Houses. Average days on the market for closed sales is currently at 231 days. The average days on the market for active listings is slowly creeping upwards and is now at 202 days. The average list price to sale price differential is 8.04%. Pelican Bay Mid Rises are not as abundantly on the market as are the Low Rises. There are only 20 Mid Rise active listings on the market in Pelican Bay as of June 18th. While the average days on the market for active listings is higher (248 days) than low rises, only 39% of all mid rises are failing to sell vs 58% of all low rises. There has only been one sale between $650,000.00 -$699,999.00 and no sales between $600,000.00 - $649,999.00. The average list price to sale price differential is 6.98%. Pelican Bay High Rises have seen the inventory on active listings decrease since April 30th, however, the unsold units have increased from 57% to 66%. This leads me to believe that many sellers, not being able to obtain the prices they wanted, took their units off the market for the summer. Of the 42 closed sales since the beginning of the year, 11 of them were under $999,999.00, while 13 of them were between $2,000,000.00 - $2,999,999.00. Of the 76 unsold units, 20 of them were between $1,000,000.00 -$2,000,000.00. 70% of two bedroom units with an average price of $923,299.00 failed to sell. Pelican Bay’s listing inventory has been declining; however the number of unsold units has been increasing. This seems to indicate that sellers are taking their residences off the market. I would guess that these sellers plan to wait until the market catches up to the price they would desire to sell. Naples Statistics show that prices in Naples have decreased in both single family homes and condomimiums. The Gulf water temperatures have been hovering around 90 degrees this week. We have been experiencing some showers, which are much needed. The canvas at the North Beach has been replaced and the Sandpiper has some great daily dinner specials should you be in town and desire to enjoy a sunset with your dinner. Memorial Day brought out a tremendous turn out for the Memorial Day BBQ. Friday, July 4th, the Sandpiper will have an all day BBQ from noon until 8:00 PM. I hope the Sandpiper can keep up with the crush of people that I think will come out. I wish you all a safe and happy 4th of July holiday and I hope you can celebrate it in Pelican Bay.

Pelican Bay Increases Transfer FeeOn Monday, May 19th, the Board of the Pelican Bay Foundation increased the transfer fee on purchases in Pelican Bay from $3,500.00 to $5,000.00. The increase will take place on any real estate sales contracts written prior to June 30, 2008. Considering all the properties that are for sale currently in Pelican Bay, I am not too happy with this decision. I personally wish that the Board had not invested over two million dollars in buying a building to house our service personnel. I think we would have been better served helping our service personnel find rentals in Naples. The rental market has an abundance of rentals due to all those investors who bought units thinking they were going to flip the units. Rental prices have decreased because of the competition. There is also "talk" that the Board is thinking about eliminating the exemption of the transfer fee for owners in Pelican Bay purchasing within Pelican Bay. Should you have an opinion on this, you might want to share it with our Board. You can log onto www.PelicanBay.org and e-mail your opinion. Turtle season began May 1st. You will notice that there are no lights shining down on the beach from the restaurants in Pelican Bay as of that date. Be advised that should you see an area of the beach roped off in what looks like yellow crime scene tape, do not touch that spot! That's a turtle's nest! The 1st Quarter of 2008 Florida Sales report has been released along with the April 2008 Naples Area Board of Realtors figures. To view these statistics, click on Real Estate Reports. The Gulf water temperature was reported at 86 degrees in the paper this morning. If you are in town, I hope you are enjoying the beach!

It's now official! The new Pelican Bay Foundation board members are Mike Coyne, Doug Esson and Robert Pendergrass. According to an e-mail that was sent out to Foundation members by Gerhard Seliatnigg, there was a delay in the election results due to a discrepancy between the number of shares voted on three separate reports. It was determined that the discrepancy was a presentation error not a tabulation error. 54% of the Foundation board members voted in this election. I wish the best to our three new board members.

Pelican Bay will be having it's annual meeting on April 7th, 2008 at 10:00 AM in the Community Center in Pelican Bay at 8960 Hammock Oak. All Pelican Bay owners are encouraged to attend this meeting. Recently an e-mail was sent from the Pelican Bay Foundation announcing the results of the vote for the new leadership of the Foundation. This e-mail was sent in error. According to the Foundation the new board members will be announced at the meeting on April 7th. Apparently there was an error in the vote count. Have you signed up to receive e-mail from the Foundation? If you are not in residence year round, you may want to do so. You can register your e-mail address by signing into www.PelcianBay.org If you are confused as to how to register, owners can call the Foundation at 239-596-6180 the Foundation will walk you through the process. Some of our Pelican Bay residents may be aware that our Collier County Commissioners are trying to build a pier at the Vanderbilt Beach access. People have asked me my opinion is of the Vanderbilt Pier project. I have to say that I am not in favor of building this Pier. My main reason for being against it is that we already have parking problems in that area. Where do the commissioners think people are going to park? I would encourage you to e-mail everyone on the Board of Collier County Commissioners your opposition to this project. A general meeting to review the status of opposition to the proposed fishing pier will be held on April 14 at 2:00 p.m. at the Pelican Bay Community Center. Sunsets are occurring around 7:45 PM now. There is not much that beats a sunset at the Sandpiper or Sandbar restaurants.
