If you are a buyer, taking your time and waiting till the end of season to pull the trigger on a home you like, or making low ball offers, might not work in your favor. Get yourself a good a gent, do your homework and be ready to negotiate a good deal. There are still some exceptional buys on the market but they are becoming so few and apart.
If you are a seller of a Coquina Sands home, you have chosen a more favorable time than the last few years to market your home and should expect better offers in 2012. Enter the market at the correct price from Day One and choose an agent that has strong Internet presence. You can look forward to a brighter 2012 but, keep in mind that buyers are keenly aware of market value - after all some of them have been watching for a while.

Bonita Beach FL - Beachfront Condos for Sale
Posted by: Ellie Penaranda / Downing-Frye Realty 239-776-5077
Last Call for Beach Lovers and Investors - Only 6 left!!
Bonita Beach is the only beach area for Bonita Springs FL. The beach area is a 3 mile peninsula with one main road (Hickory Blvd) with beachfront homes on one side and bay front homes on the other. Hickory Blvd is mostly single family homes - with just over 700 condo units (in 8 buildings). Believe it or not there are only 6 total units left on the market - that is less than 1% of these condo units. Of course Bonita Beach area in general includes some single family and a few condominiums that are not on the beach but within walking distance.
9 Reasons you should buy one of these Condos before it's too late:
1) The most desired & valued property in the state of FL is a beachfront home.
2) Beachfront condos in Bonita Beach do not come on the market often as they are excellent seasonal rentals and the owners think twice before letting them go.
3) When you are not occupying the property for your own use they do rent at $5,000 per month in season (Dec. to April), $3,500/month (May, June, Oct & Nov), $2,500/month in off season (July, Aug. & Sept), naturally depending on condition and upgrades - which makes them a great 2nd home or investment property.
4) If you have not been to Hickory Blvd in the last couple of years, you will not recognize half the homes - new construction is going at a rate of 10 homes/year adding new value to this stretch of the road (these are $3M to $6M beachfront residences). Just to keep the record straight there are only 116 beachfront home lots and only 75 home lots on the bay side of the road. The supply will always be low.
5) While beachfront single family homes are selling at $900 to $1,700/per square foot - these condos are at a price of $300 to $400/per square foot and you enjoy the same breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico.
6) Bonita Beach offers a ton of attractions all within walking distance - marina for boat rentals, fishing, para-sailing, jet ski rentals, trolley rides to both Lovers Key Park (2 min ride) or to Fort Myers Beach (10 min ride), not to mention the newly installed bike lane. A beachfront restaurant "Doc's Beach House" and a bay front restaurant "Big Hickory Grill" other waterfront restaurants within a couple of minutes drive.
7) Bonita Beach is a favorite spot for shelling, sand dollars and starfish. I've personally found some rare seaglass (red) and shark teeth.
8) Let's talk business. Appreciation! If 4 of these 6 units sell this season (which is a high possibility) then what happens next? What do you think the next group of sellers will do? I would guess they would come on the market at a higher price. Wouldn't you? After all the supply would be so low, they can demand anything - but I am sure their agents will keep them grounded. The prices will still be higher. So here is the deal for you - if you buy now, the next group of sellers will bring you the appreciation. If you wait, you will have to pay a higher price. Just remember, that real estate is local & not national and "Supply and Demand" always rules.
9) Is there anything better in life than waking up in the morning to the sound of the waves and ending the day watching another gorgeous sunset from your own lanai? Dreams do come true, and right now they are affordable.

Naples Florida Waterfront & Beach Specialist.
I've had my share traveling around the world. I've lived on the Mediterranean Sea for years, in San Diego (Coronado Island) on the bay, and, at last, in Naples within steps to the beach. So, it is no wonder I love the water and have appreciation and an understanding for those who do.
As for real estate, I started as an assistant to a real estate attorney for 4 yrs and then began my real estate career in Virginia were I spent the first 3 years working exclusively with investors (who taught me a lot). After years of working for other brokerage offices, my partner (Tim Cranch) and I opened our own brokerage in early 2005. His residential construction background completes the package of experience and brings another perspective to the table. We were licensed in VA & FL for several years and then moved to Naples full time.
We have a solid track record as a reputable, experienced and customer- focused team of real estate professionals.
I am a broker associate with Downing-Frye Realty in Naples and was formerly the Principal Broker of our company in Reston Virginia where I was responsible for training other agents and reviewing all contracts, agreements and transactions. My education and background includes interior design prior to real estate sales, but my passion and best skills are in listening carefully to our clients' needs, pinpointing negotiations when working either side of the equation, assessing market conditions and every aspect of marketing.

"We want you to know that we have never had an agent who has displayed the professionalism, contract knowledge, and dedication to the job at hand, as we have seen in Ellie. She has provided us with timely information on current market conditions, detailed explanations of the contract clauses and implications, options available to us at each decision point, kept us informed (sometimes hourly updates!) on all incoming information relative to the sale. During the course of the contract, we have had a number of unusual circumstances caused by the buyer and his agent, which resulted in Ellie having to put in considerably more time and effort on our contract than we ever expected. But through all this, we have never once doubted Ellie's abilities or her loyalty to us. Ellie has represented us exactly as we asked. We admire Ellie's ability to deal with difficult matters in an upfront and professional manner. She will continue to be our agent now and in whatever real estate matters we have in the future."
Jody & Arnold Sartori/Sellers
"Tim and Ellie did a great job for us in framing the market for us and finding us the right home at the right price. In a very short period of time they were able to manage our expectations, validating what they could, but professionally counseling on what was realistic within our circumstances. As a result we found the perfect home for us and negotiated a contract is less than a week." Bob Wood (June, 2010)
"Just a note to let you know how much I've enjoyed working with you on Domain Terrace. That's one of the things that's kept me in the business for so long - I will very much look forward to showing your listings and working together on another transaction soon. It is sheer pleasure to work with fellow professional such as yourself. If every agent I worked with was as pleasant and 'on top' of things to work with as you, 'Oh what a wonderful world it would be!" Fondly, "
