There is a brand new trend in buying Naples real estate . Young singles, more specifically women, account for the majority of new homeowners. In fact, there has been a 6 percent increase in female homeowners between 2001 and 2005.
Affordability, a closeness to entertainment and nightlife, and safe neighborhoods are what most young singles are looking for. Even more of the buying market consists of recent immigrants and minorities. Some are buying condos to build equity so that they can purchase a larger home down the road. Finally, retirees and empty-nesters are downsizing and moving to active adult communities. They are through with big houses and would rather live in smaller homes, near friends and entertainment.
