Naples, Florida offers more than just luxury home sales...
The Naples-Bonita Springs area was ranked the HOTTEST HOUSING
MARKET

IN

THE
COUNTRY for eight consecutive years (1999 to 2003), according to
U.S.
Housing Markets. Factors contributing to the first-place ranking of
Naples,
Florida home sales include a strong economy, an increase in jobs, a

high

quality of life and very competitive pricing for housing. New
construction
has been driven both by the demand from people relocating to this
area
as
well as part-time residents purchasing a second or third home in

Naples.


The strong appreciation of single-family homes and condominiums in
the
Naples-Bonita Springs area since 1990 has made a home for sale in

naples

a
solid investment. In fact, Kiplinger's RANKED NAPLES #3 IN THE TOP

METRO

MARKETS IN THE U.S. FOR PROJECTED INCREASE IN MEDIAN HOME,
1999-2010.
Although well known for its luxury home market, more and more
families
have
discovered that Southwest Florida is quite affordable. Demand from

this

market segment has resulted in a large selection of housing
options,
from
condominiums and coach homes to villas, single-family homes and
custom-built
houses.

Quality of life remains a key issue to Southwest Florida's ongoing
appeal.
Little wonder NAPLES WAS RANKED SIXTH AMONG THE "BEST SMALL PLACES
TO
LIVE
IN AMERICA"by Money Magazine and Bonita Springs was named one of
"50
Fabulous Places to Raise Your Family" by Carter Press. Also, Bonita
Springs
was identified by U.S. Housing Markets as the "5th hottest housing
market in
the U.S" and the "13th best medium-sized Southern city" according
to
Money
Magazine.

How'd Snellville do?


I'm sure the trailer parks are just fine ;-)




Most expensive single family home in Snellville.

1050 Laurel Cove Drive
Snellville, GA 30078 - Gwinnett Co.
$ 177,900 5 Beds, 3 Full Baths Status: PendingContract

Subdivision: Dominion Walk; Yr. Built: 1994

And this is upscale?




Real estate values first are local, crap-for-brains. Property values in
around around SF and LA are grossly overinflated, and hundreds of
thousands of dollars will buy you next to nothing. How many 10-year-old,
five bedroom , three bath homes on a decent lot in SF might you find in
the SF SMSA? None?


Real estate values reflect the desire of people to live in the area. You
can find nice a five bedroom , three bath homes on a decent lot in SF,
probably a lot more than 10 years old, and a hell of a lot more than
$177,500. Probably 10x more, as it is 10x nicer to live here than there.



Harry has led a sheltered life, always depending on his parents for support
(read his chronicles about the family boat store and marina) and shelter.
He also apparently has never wandered beyond the greater Baltimore area.
Don't be hard on him. I can understand his lack of knowledge on real estate
pricing.
