NEWS ABOUT CORDOBA at LELY RESORT
A new home community, Cordoba, is offering a fly-and-buy program giving you a perfect chance to see and feel the Cordoba lifestyle.
They have adjusted their prices to reflect the current market as well as adjusted their base pricing and lot premiums. The new pricing was obtained by aggressively re-bidding the construction of their homes which resulted in a dramatic cost reduction. The objective was stimulate sales and pass along as much savings as possible to their customers.
The reaction to the new pricing has been fantastic. They just finalized a new build contract on one of their premium lake lots and signed 4 additional pending contracts within the last 3 weeks. Currently, they are in serious discussion with several other buyers. Sales are certainly heating up.
Their floorplans are very exciting. With the location being just 15 minutes to Marco Island beaches and 15 minutes to Olde Naples downtown area, and just 15 minutes to major highways connecting all of South Florida, the location can’t be beat.
Cordoba is a gated community.
Please let me know if you would be interested in the Fly and Buy Program. If you register to travel to Naples and purchase at Cordoba, you will be reimbursed up to $1000 for domestic travel and $1,500 for International travel.

America’s most overvalued cities
By Les Christie, staff writer for CNN
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
In January 2006, CNNMoney published a ranking of 299 U.S. housing markets, showing where home prices were most overvalued. Little was undervalued: Real estate was white-hot and prices were at or near what later proved to be their tops.
A total of 213 cities were overpriced, and Naples, Fla., was deemed the most insane, with 84% of homes valued over a fair market price, according to statistics compiled by National City Corp. and IHS Global Insight.
That finding so rankled the Naples Chamber of Commerce and area real estate agents that they hired economists to dispute the evaluation, according to Richard DeKaser, the real estate consultant who engineered the report for National City.
What a difference four years makes.
Today, Naples real estate sells at a 29% discount and the median home price is just $165,500, down from more than $390,000, according to the newly released 2010 report compiled by IHS Global Insight and PNC Financial Services (PNC, Fortune 500) (which bought National City).
Nationwide, just 87 markets are considered overvalued, and Naples is now the 15th most undervalued area. Nearly all markets — 242 of 330 — are considered priced below fair market.
