October Market report for Napes, Bonita and Estero

Pended sales continue to soar, and all price ranges (with one exception) continue to show inventory decreases over prior year. The properties that are moving are the ones that are priced to the current market. As Cindy Carroll told us a couple of weeks ago (Carroll & Carroll Appraisers), a short sale or foreclosure IS a comparable, and most definitely will affect market value of other homes in an area. 2005 and 2006 are gone forever, but there is immense opportunity in the new market!

Glass Slipper Ball - Fundraiser for Victims of Domestic Abuse




The Zonta Club of Bonita Spring is hosting the first annual Glass Slipper Ball to benefit victims of domestic abuse. The evening will take place at the Hyatt Coconut Point ballroom on Friday November 20th at 7 p.m. Evening events include tasting of wonderful delicacies prepared by the areas top chefs, dancing to the tunes of the High Voltage Band, a silent auction and a live auction. Tickets are on sale now for $100 per person. Visit our website www.zontabonitasprings.org

The live auction promises to be fantastic:
Want to win a fabulous trip to the San Francisco wine country, travel to Tuscany to attend a cooking school, spend a glitzy weekend with the professional dancers behind Dancing With The Stars or reinvigorate your life with a week at an adult boot camp held at a beach-side luxurious spa? Then don’t let the gavel fall without having the chance to bid on these and other up-scale items that will be featured as part of a live auction being held during the Zonta Club of Bonita Springs’ inaugural Glass Slipper Ball Featuring the Best of the Chefs set for November 20th at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point.

“The live auction will certainly add excitement to the Ball. I think our guests will be thrilled with the top notch items we are auctioning to raise funds to help fight the crisis of domestic violence in our community. To make sure the auction moves along at a lively pace, we are limiting it to a small number of lavish items that the lucky winners will definitely be overjoyed to take home.” said Y’Vonne Murray, Club President.

The couple who wins the San Francisco wine trip will jet to the “City by the Bay” for a great escape, spending four days/three nights in the lap of luxury at the Embarcadero Hotel. While there, they will enjoy the breathtaking scenery, winery tours in the famous Napa Valley and watch the sun slip into the Pacific on a sunset cruise.

Ball guests who walk away with the Tuscany trip will learn to cook in the heart of classic Italy. This seven day/six night package for two includes round trip air to Florence, Italy. From Florence, they will head for the villas and vineyards of Tuscany where the cooking course will surely whet their appetite to explore the surrounding region, visit hilltop towns like Siena and Pisa and enjoy the best shopping in all of Italy in San Gimigiano.
