We have a few big announcements before we get into market reports! We’ve swung into the fall season and launched a few programs that you might find fun and useful!
Pie Day For Current & Past Clients and Customers
First things first, we have planned Pie Day for past clients and customers on Monday Nov 21 5:30 to 7:30pm. If you’ve purchased or sold real estate with The Griffith Group or are currently working with a team member, your invitation is in the USPS mail. Please RSVP for your pumpkin pie by responding to this email or texting your name and “pie day” to 239-728-7599. Besides pie pickup we will have a few other giveaways. Pie pickup is at the Downing Frye office 27399 Riverview Center Blvd. Suite 101, Bonita Springs, FL 34134.
Downtown Bonita Springs Calendar of Events
Second, the Downtown Bonita Spring Calendar of events is complete. Those are also in the USPS mail with the pie day invitation (for current/past clients). It’s a large white envelope. I mean large! We ordered a large size calendar this year. If you’re local, you can also pick up the calendar in person at Bella Luna Photography at Flamingo Island and Survey Café in Downtown Bonita Springs and For Heaven Shakes in Downtown Bonita Springs, Florida.
Twelve Days of Christmas Giveaway
Third, we are already organizing for the “Twelve Days of Christmas” giveaway in The Bonita Springs Estero Community Forum on Facebook. If you’ve participated before, local businesses donate items for us to give away daily in that group. It usually lasts a lot longer than twelve days, too. If you’d like to participate as a business just let us know. Otherwise be sure to join the group so you can participate as contestant starting the first week of December. It’s as easy as guessing a number from 1 – 10,000 on the daily prize!

Bonita Springs Estero Florida Market Reports
Even though we have had a hurricane at the end of September the local real estate market has only skipped a beat. We are at capacity in housing and hotels in the month of November, already. With the loss of so many residences taking surge along the coast and up the river many rentals and homes were lost. If we were going to get any slack in the real estate market that certainly sucked the air out of the room. We currently have about four months of inventory, to generalize, city wide. Entry level pricing (excluding manufactured homes) is $250,000 and that entry level property was a 1 bedroom condo that needed updated. This is a link to the 20 second video about inventory & housing. Watch video We are updating YouTube regularly so please subscribe.
Post Hurricane Ian Home Buying
A few important things to note are that if you are purchasing real estate in the next few months it is imperative that your representation has resources to protect you from both the insurance pitfalls and the potential of hidden hurricane damage. We have great vendors and professional on our team who can help you properly research the property so that you’re secure in your purchase. We can walk you through the process from search through closing. You can set up a strategy session to get started. Buying real estate is a big deal and you should have a solid plan before you hit the ground. It will remove a lot of the stress and will help streamline the process.
