Another Look At Speculative Home Building

Readers of our blog will recall our spec building piece last fall highlighting Gary’s work as he built a spec home (

http://nangoebel.wordpress.com/2012/10/05/build-a-spec-house-with-us-on-youtube-take-one/) Many of you followed along on Youtube as we watched Gary do his thing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbwBv0mAhkc&feature=plcp). We are pleased to report Gary’s place is all done and looking sharp and I have to get the new video out there.

Which brings me to another friend I met with last week in Naples, Michael Orden. He has renovated many a home in Naples and now is firing up his next project. Many of you have asked for more details on these projects so here is the latest from Michael.

Michael shared with us he is forward to build a “spec” home in one of a couple sub-markets that are active in terms of final buyers seeking new home product. He has narrowed his search to the Moorings/Park Shore, Old Naples and Royal Harbor neighborhoods. Michael reports each of these areas is experiencing significant construction activity, very strong absorption rates and increasing values. He states he has several specific lot locations that meet his criteria. He is seeking folks to help him out with these projects so give him a call at 239-250-4139 if this would work for you

According to Michael’s estimates “Current lot prices are in the $800,000 to $1,200,000 range and the projected ( yet to be determined, depending on size, location etc) hard and soft construction costs are in the $1,000,000 to $1,300,000 range.”

This is by new means a solicitation for you to do this. We are simply reporting Michael’s work as a service to our readers. If you are interested get with your Realtors and other professionals you might require as you look into this. Please be sure to consult with legal, financial and tax professionals before acting on any real estate transaction.  And always remember actual real estate price and sales results are subject to market forces and are not completely predictable and the writings of this Blog are intended for the sole use of our clients.
