Dream Home Market

Dream home elegance is priceless when speaking of the luxury home market in Naples Florida. Million dollar homes or luxury homes attract a very discerning group of high-end wealthy buyers to mansions and the luxury home niche market. Luxury home buyers are accustomed to a high-end level of service that only top tier Realtors can provide. A dream home in Pelican Marsh, as an example, is nestled in an upscale Naples million dollar homes community. Named one of America’s 100 best luxury home master-planned developments, Pelican Marsh offers residents million dollar homes and green-scapes, sparkling lakes and fountains. The Pelican Marsh Golf Club is a first class golf club that exudes a tradition of excellence with a challenging par-72 championship golf course. The golf course offers a superior display of nature-scapes that provide a challenging course among mansions. The Cocohatchee Strand nature preserve is a pristine setting for miles of walkways that wind throughout the dream home community and ideal for biking and walking. Vanderbilt beach is less than 2 miles away.

Grey Oaks is another luxury home golf community where the thrill is playing one of the top five private courses in Florida. Grey Oaks Country Club was named one of the top fifty golf courses in the Southeast. Estuary mansions at Grey oaks are typically over six thousand square feet of living space and the beautifully crafted custom luxury home residences are set among golf course fairways in its gated dream home community of Estuary at Grey Oaks. Located just minutes from the vibrant downtown shopping district of Naples and stunning Park Shore beaches, Grey Oaks beckons.

Finally the pinnacle of million dollar homes in Naples Florida is the boating community of Port Royal. Mansions here are the most prestigious for luxury home real estate in Naples and surrounded by water. With the Gulf of Mexico to its west, Naples Bay on the east and Gordon Pass to the south, Port Royal has about six hundred million dollar homes, and most mansions with deep water gulf access. Street names like Rum Row, Galleon Drive, and Man of War Cove point to the Caribbean pirate past of this gorgeous luxury home enclave. The exclusive beachfront Port Royal Club can be joined by mansions residents for about $70,000. There is no golf course in the dream home community of Port Royal but the Naples Beach and Golf Club is nearby.

The U.S. census recently reported the ten fastest-growing states had average population gains of 21 percent and Florida was number eight (#8) in this top ten group. With this background it is not surprising that Port Royal and other existing million dollar homes sales got back on an upward path last year, per the National Association of Realtors®. The luxury home price category posted a 17% decrease in listings in 2010 sharply reducing inventory in the million dollar home segment. The relationship recently between mortgage interest rates, home prices and income has been the most favorable on record for buying a luxury home since Freddie Mac started measuring in 1970. With wealthy boomers reaching age sixty five this year for the first time, the dream home market is recovering and it should trend up in 2011.
