There are lots of new ideas, thoughts, theories and trends regarding the new reality we all face in the real estate industry....now is the time to get creative. We came up with our own process: while observing CDC guidelines on social distancing, BAREFOOT BEACH PROPERTIES is still able to help you sell your Florida property or find your dream home, since real estate offices are providing an "essential service" according to DHS guidelines:

We understand that nothing can replace that feeling of excitement and the emotional experience of ‘love at first sight’, but the real estate industry is working harder than ever to try to replicate that experience in a virtual setting. The new tech age offers a plethora of tools for realtors to help buyers get that ‘almost being there’ feeling, and sellers the opportunity to get showings without repeatedly exposing their homes to in-person visits.

How has the luxury real estate market in Barefoot Beach been performing so far in 2020?

The luxury property market in the SW Florida area continues to be strong and 2020 is off to a brisk start. Buyers are starting to lock in some of the gains in their equity portfolios and reallocating those proceeds to their real estate portfolios by purchasing luxury homes. In short, recent gyrations in the stock market have reignited the Naples and Barefoot Beach luxury real estate market.

What are buyers looking for in their homes in Barefoot Beach in 2020?

Naples area buyers continue to prefer locations in close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico beaches, like Barefoot Beach or Old Naples, which offer both a small-town quality of life and coastal lifestyle. What has become increasingly important to luxury buyers in SW Florida is new construction, which provides the best protection in a tropical coastal environment.

Are there any new restaurants or other spots in the greater Naples area you’ve been loving lately?

There have been over 15 new restaurant openings in the greater Naples area since 2019. Sadly, I have been too busy this season to try any of them, but I will try to check them out this summer.

It’s time for spring break. What is a fun activity in Barefoot Beach and Naples?

It’s all about the Gulf of Mexico beaches here in the Barefoot Beach, Naples, area: boating, jet-skiing, paddle boarding, para-sailing, or just enjoying the SW Florida sunshine, balmy breezes and glorious sunsets over the Gulf. A few examples of the many scheduled events are:

March 7th / Cass Cay Off-Shore Powerboat Race

March 7th / Naples Craft Beer Festival at Bay Front in Old Naples

March 14th / St Patrick’s Day Parade on 5th Ave in Old Naples

March 20-22nd / Marco Island Seafood & Music Festival

The more traditional type of spring break revelry can, of course, be found in nearby Fort Myers Beach, just a few miles up the coast.
