Looking for that unique luxury home, charming home with an amazing waterfront access or perhaps an enchanting condominum with view to die for? Why not consider The Moorings.
I recently found myself enjoying the beautiful views of Hurricane Harbor and Compass Cove (above) while sitting at a wonderful Open House (below) . Not only does the property have stunning views, southerly exposure, dock, and frontage but it is minutes from Doctor's Pass and the Gulf of Mexico.
Residents of this area have access to a private beach. There are condos, luxury homes, and high rises and some new construction. A terrific selection for the discerning buyer. If you enjoy water views, water sports, fishing, kayaking, or yachting you might want to consider The Moorings as your Naples destination.
Most homes were built in the 60's and 70's and there is new construction, lovingly updated, some rebuilding and homes that need updating. The Moorings is centrally located in Naples and is conveniently off Rt. 41 and lies along the Gulf. If you want shopping or dining, you can quickly reach 5th Avenue or Venetian Village. Pending sales in the area have shown an increase since November. Average price is over $1,000,000... If you would like to see something in The Moorings or elsewhere in Naples or would like more information on the home with the above view visit Shannon...I am happy to get back to you.
Well to start your weekend off head over to the Farmers Market at the Third Street South parking lot behind Tommy Bahamas, but you'll have to get up early; it's from 7:30 a.m.- 11:30 a.m. Saturday 1/12/2008.
Next you can head over to Cambier Park for the Naples Artcrafters Fine Art and Craft show this will be held from 10:00 a.m. - 4 p.m.
On Sunday, again in Cambier Park, you can bring a chair or blanket and listen to the FREE concert from the Naples Concert Band from 2- 4p.m. Another thing you can do here in Naples that is FREE is take a fishing pole down the pier, the fishing permit for all who fish from the pier is picked up by the City of Naples. Try your luck at fishing in the Gulf. Finally one of the best things to do here also at no cost is to watch an amazing sunset. The sun will set about 5:53 p.m. so get there about 5:30.
Last but not least what to do with the inbetween hours, tired from the beach why not visit a John R. Wood Open House. This weekend in Sunday's Naples Daily News pick up a copy and look for the large magazine titled Homelook in it you find many of the listings for sale and in yellow the open houses for Sunday January 13th. You can also visit my website and click on the Open house button for the same information. Get out there and take a look there are wonderful properties for sale at great prices.
Well the temperature here in Naples Florida is currently 72 degrees. We have temperatures in the 80's predicted for the next week so...we're back on track. I was at an open house today and had a lot of people come through... more than previous weeks. Although a bit unsure of wanting to get in the current market they are looking, learning, listening and getting ready to make a move. They are exploring the area and thinking about what is available to them. These buyers are much more savvy then the news media gives them credit for and realize there are deals to be had.
Naples is unique we will continue to have 80 degree days, blue skies, warm breezes, grouper sandwiches and smiling faces. After suffering through a few cold days ( and believe me I was suffering) I remember why I love it so much here... being cold is exhausting. I had a strong urge on the day we had 40 degree temps to just get under the down comforter, grab the remote and stay there. I was tired.... then the sun came back out, I went for a walk on the beach, watched a spectacular sunset and wa - la I'm back!!!
Finally today the local paper reported accurately that there is more activity here and we are waiting for our December numbers. Stay tuned more hard data to come

Because of it's tropical climate Naples has become famous for it's golf. We have plenty of pro's and you can see some of them in the Champions Tour Ace Classic or at The Shark Shootout hosted by Greg Norman. There are many great golf communities with all types of golf priviledges. Some opt for equity ownership in a private club others prefer a home with monthly fees and bundled golf; allowing them to play frequently. Either way we have plenty of golf here if that is your passion!
Another popular attraction is the Gulf of Mexico. Whether you like sunsets, walking on the beach, swimming, fishing, boating, water views, or just putting your toes in the soft white sand Naples is the place The beach is probably one of the largest attractions and we have many options for you.

Another popular past time in Naples is shopping. There are several hot spots for shopping in Naples. Perhaps one of the most famous is Fifth Avenue South in Olde Naples. This is considered downtown Naples and is host to many of Naples most popular restaurants, boutiques, gift stores, shoe stores, jewelry stores, and art galleries. There is a strong presence from both the financial and real estate industries on Fifth as well. Of course I have to point out that my office is located on Fifth.... Fifth Avenue also hosts numerous activities one being the Evening on Fifth with extended store hours, live local entertainment, great people and delicious food and drink from area establishments. There is always something to do on Fifth Avenue!
