Sales momentum at Seaglass continues as construction progresses

BONITA SPRINGS — The Ronto Group announced sales continue to surge at the 26-floor, 120-unit Seaglass high-rise tower being built by Ronto within Bonita Bay. Sales contracts worth more than $125 million have been processed. The building is now more than 60 percent sold.

Concrete for the 20th floor has been poured and a new floor is being poured every two weeks. Construction is on schedule for completion in 12 months.

Seaglass is just 600 feet from Estero Bay, making it one of the closest to the water’s edge of the high-rises currently under construction on Southwest Florida’s Gulf coast. All new open-concept floor plans with tall ceilings take full advantage of mangrove, water, and sunset views. Ronto also is providing decorator ready residences that require additional time and investment prior to completion.

Seaglass offers new, fully-completed and ready-for-occupancy residences with designer-selected premium finishes, including flooring, paint, and trim. The space sequences and components found in the kitchens and master baths of the residences will reflect the contemporary flair found in the architectural style of the building. Each residence will come with two protected access under-building parking spaces. Private enclosed two-car garages will be available.

All available penthouse residences within Seaglass are sold. Ronto is making a limited opportunity available to purchasers of residences on the 20th through 23rd floors. In addition to selecting finishes for their new home’s flooring, cabinetry, counter tops, door hardware, plumbing fixtures, and paint colors through its innovative Finishing Touches Program, Ronto is offering homebuyers a limited opportunity to join two upper units together to create a 6,200-square-foot residence with views of the Gulf of Mexico. One expanded residence opportunity remains available. Each expanded residence comes with four protected access under-building parking spaces.

A choice selection of tower residences is available at Seaglass. Three Seaglass tower residence great room floor plans, ranging from 2,889 to 3,421 square feet under air, are priced starting at just over $1 million.

The tower residences will include dual private elevator grand foyers, large island kitchens, three bedrooms and 3.5 baths, or three bedrooms plus a den or fourth bedroom and 3.5 baths, walk-in closets in the owner’s suite, and sliders opening to multiple outdoor spaces that include a gas grill.

Interest rates are at their lowest in years… If you think interest rates will rise in the future, you need to act NOW!

Here are five reasons listing your Naples home for sale this summer makes sense.

1. Demand Is Strong

The latest Buyer Traffic Report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows that buyer demand remains very strong throughout the vast majority of the country. These buyers are ready, willing and able to purchase… and are in the market right now! More often than not, multiple buyers are competing with each other to buy a home.

Take advantage of the buyer activity currently in the market.

2. There Is Less Competition Now

Housing inventory is currently at a 4.2-month supply, well under the 6-months needed for a normal housing market. This means, in the majority of the country, there are not enough homes for sale to satisfy the number of buyers in that market. This is good news for home prices. However, additional inventory could be coming to the market soon.

There is a pent-up desire for many homeowners to move, as they were unable to sell over the last few years because of a negative equity situation. Homeowners are now seeing a return to positive equity as real estate values have increased over the last two years. Many of these homes will be coming to the market this summer.

Also, builder's confidence in the market has hit its highest mark in over 11 years. Experts are predicting that new construction of single-family homes will ramp up this summer.

The choices buyers have will continue to increase. Don’t wait until all this other inventory of homes comes to market before you sell.

3. The Process Will Be Quicker

Fannie Mae anticipates an acceleration in home sales that will surpass 2007's pace. As the market continues to strengthen, banks will be inundated with loan inquiries causing closing-time lines to lengthen. Selling now will make the process quicker & simpler. According to Ellie Mae’s latest Origination Insights Report, the time to close a loan has dropped to a new low of 42 days, after seeing a 12-month high of 48 days in January.

4. There Will Never Be a Better Time to Move Up

If you are moving up to a larger, more expensive home, consider doing it now NOW. Prices are projected to appreciate by 4.9% over the next year, according to CoreLogic. If you are moving to a higher-priced home, it will wind up costing you more in raw dollars (both in down payment and mortgage payment) if you wait.

You can also lock in your 30-year housing expense with an interest rate around 4%right now. Rates are projected to increase in the next 12 months.

5. It’s Time to Move on with Your Life

Look at the reason you decided to sell in the first place and determine whether it is worth waiting. Is money more important than being with family? Is money more important than your health? Is money more important than having the freedom to go on with your life the way you think you should?

Only you know the answers to the questions above. You have the power to take control of the situation by putting your home on the market. Perhaps the time has come for you and your family to move on and start living the life you desire. That is what is truly important.
