There is a brand new trend in buying Naples real estate . The majority of new homeowners are young, single women. In fact, from 2001 and 2005 there was a 6 percent increase in female homeowners.
Most young singles are looking for a safe neighborhood, closeness to entertainment and nightlife, and affordability. Recent immigrants and minorities make up more of the buying market. Some are purchasing condos to build equity so that they can buy a bigger home down the road. Finally, retirees and empty-nesters are downsizing and migrating to active adult communities. They would rather live in smaller homes, close to friends and entertainment.
