In today’s news, recently sold houses were analyzed and the market shows the highest increase in recent years of international purchasers buying US property. Naples, Florida is a top choice for foreign buyers. Below are the highlights of the article by RISMEDIA on May 20, 2011.  We agree and currently we are working with a Naples buyer from Canada and a Naples seller from Singapore.

Naples is an amazing place to live and property owners receive a pass to the beach.  While articles about Naples carries weight, I have to refute the slant that Naples is not for kids as every fine hotel caters to the kids groups with fun activities galore.  The author missed going to Sun-N-Fun Lagoon and the Naples Zoo.  Or give a kid a bucket and a shovel and they are happy for hours at the beach.  Remember a hat and sunscreen. 

While you consider your options, check out this report.  They love Naples too.  Hand down, we have the best beaches in the world.  "Naples is a wealthy resort town nestled along the shores of Florida's Lower Gulf Coast. Home to numerous gated communities, country clubs and high-end boutiques, Naples is not defined by different neighborhoods as much as by its beaches."
