Naples Florida: Sunsets, Golf and Culture

N

By Louise Hullett

aples, flanked by miles of beaches with calm waters and fine white “sugar� sand on its west and the untamed wilderness of the Everglades on the east, is a city on the Gulf of Mexico in southwest Florida. Naples is known for its high-end shopping, sophisticated dining, world-class culture, fishing and close to 90 private, semi-private and public golf courses in Collier county. Naples is the self-proclaimed "Golf Capital of the World" with the second most golf holes per capita than any other community in the country.

Many of Naples' real estate developments are golf course communities created by such acclaimed course architects as Robert von Hagge, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, Arthur Hills, Tom Fazio and Robert Trent Jones Sr. You don't have to be a golf enthusiast to love Naples. The historic Naples Pier located on the Gulf of Mexico is the perfect location for fishing and the city does not require a fishing license. Sit on the pier, relax, fish and watch a spectacular Naples sunset - could life get any better?

However, if fishing is not your passion, the city, through the Parks and Recreation department, continually offers residents the opportunities for program participation through a variety of activities such as: dance, art, sports, martial arts, athletic leagues, swimming and theater. Inclusion programs are routinely provided with wide community support.

If you enjoy life on the wild side, the Everglades National Park provides important habitat for numerous rare and endangered species like the American Crocodile, Florida panthers (not the hockey team) and the Manatee.

There's plenty of cultural events to keep you

18

busy. Whether you enjoy the Philharmonic, art galleries, movies or dinner theatre, Naples is never short on things to do.

Are you ready to relocate or just buy a second home? Whether you're looking for a highrise condo on the beach, a luxury estate or golf course home, the time is right in Naples.

Ocala, FL Something for Everyone

B

By Louise Hullett

uying a second home or a retirement home is a major decision. There are plenty of options for you, which is great, but it can also seem overwhelming. Florida, the Sunshine State, is a favorite among many because of its warm weather and friendly income tax environment. There is no state income tax in Florida, saving hundreds or thousands of dollars a year as compared with most other states on the east coast.

If you're looking to escape the cold winters and feel that warm Florida sunshine, Ocala may be for you. Ocala is a city located in Northern Florida with an estimated population of 56,300 making it the 45th most populated city in Florida.

It is the seat of Marion County. The temperature ranges from around 93 for highs and 47 for lows: Average summer 93/71, Fall 85/62, Winter 73/47, spring 84/57.

In Ocala, you won't find " beach front property" for which Florida is so well known. Ocala is inland, centered between the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west.

Because of this, Ocala is not affected as much by hurricanes as the more coastal counties to its east and west are.

About a two-hour drive from Ocala will get you to many of Florida's major cities: Orlando is 75 minutes to the southeast, Tampa is 75 minutes to the southwest, Daytona Beach is 90 minutes east, Jacksonville is roughly 2-hours northeast, Ft. Lauderdale is about 4 hours south and Miami about 5 hours southeast.

Ocala is the home of the College of Central Florida, the Appleton Museum of Art which boasts a permanent art collection of more than 16,000 objects and the Ocala Civic theatre - one of the largest community theatres in the state.

Ocala Civic Theatre produces live theatrical performances year-round, including musicals,

24

comedies, and dramas. In addition, the Theatre offers an extensive education department with after-school classes and family productions.

Silver Springs State Park, Florida’s first tourist attraction and one of the largest artesian springs in the world, sits above a huge underground spring that releases thousands of gallons of water in the Silver River daily. In 1971, it was designated as a National Natural Landmark. Six of the original Tarzan movies were filmed here, as well as many others, including Smokey and the Bandit 3. Additionally, a number of TV shows, such as "Sea Hunt" were filmed at Silver Springs Park.

The bedrock of limestone makes Ocala one of the most unique water landscapes and the largest artisan spring in the world. It is the limestone that is also a major contributor in making Ocala one of the 5 official "Horse Capitals of the World". The limestone enriches the soil with phos-

phorous and calcium which becomes a major part of the diet of the local thoroughbred horses.

"Horse Fever," a project launched by the Mario Cultural alliance in 2001 included 52 life-sized fiberglass horses decorated by area artists. The statues were auctioned and raised $1.2 million for charity. These beautiful statues are still displayed around town.

With over 40 golf courses in the Ocala region, you will have no trouble finding a golf course.

Golflink.com ranks Ocala as number 8 in Florida golf destinations. With so many gated, nongated, 55+ and upscale golf communities, you will not have a problem finding that perfect golf course home or condo. With a wide range of prices to choose from you can buy a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condos on the golf course for as little as $49,000 and up. New Homes can start as low as $100K up. If you are looking for a more upscale gated golf community home, Ocala has that as well.

1,500 SQ FT, LIVING SPACE $129,900 3 BEDROOM, 2 BATHROOM, 2 CAR GARAGE

Sunburst Properties For a list of homes for sale: email scott.hutchinson6@gmail.com

Ocala/Marion County supports a wealth of cultural activities, historic sites, golf and over 600 thoroughbred horse farms. In your search for your second home or retirement home, Ocala will be a great place to start your search.

The Other Florida / Northwest The Panhandle is Becoming an Attractive Region for Retirees

By NEHL Staff

T

he panhandle of Florida is made up of numerous cities and towns, including Pensacola, Panama City and Florida's capital city of Tallahassee. Many other smaller towns line the south coast of the panhandle, make the region a thriving center of tourism that offers great options for both second homes and retirees looking for a change of pace from traditional Florida locations. The southern coast of Florida's panhandle known as the "Emerald Coast.” has weather that is gorgeous 343 days a year and some of the very finest beaches in the world.

Take the best bits of the Deep South – friendly ('howdy y'all!') people, a molassesslow pace, oak-lined roads and fried green tomatoes – then add sugar-white beaches, clear natural springs and bountiful seafood and you're beginning to conjure up the magnificent, diverse and highly underrated Florida Panhandle. Dig your toes into the endless miles of impossible white sands and azure waters of the Gulf Coast, gallery-hop in pretty Pensacola with its surprising wealth of history and understated class. Ad that to a very low cost of living and affordable housing market and you have a perfect combination for retirees.

26

America’s First Settlement, Pensacola established its roots from Tristan de Luna and the diverse Spanish settlers who founded the area in the 1500s. More than 450 years later, Pensacola continues to flourish in its thriving industrial, southern economy. Surrounded by 50-plus miles of coastline, including beautiful emerald-green Gulf of Mexico waters and crystal clear-bay areas, Pensacola is the perfect combination of a relaxed beach town

Second Home / Vacation Home Financing

If you have been toying with the idea of buying a second home, now could be a good time to take the leap. Interest rates are still low by historic standards, and home prices are recovering from the bust but aren't out of reach. For an individual or family who is well-qualified and who clearly wants to purchase that second home, this is an outstanding time to buy with rates stable and prices still attractive in many regions.

Scouting the market One way to start off the search for a second home is to find a real estate agent who is familiar with your desired location. This partner could fill you in on aspects such as weather and traffic patterns, help you evaluate the location and amenities of a property and

28

provide information about comparable sales.

And, with an eye to the long-term value of the property, the agent could fill you in on historical prices and how comparable sales have fared, as well as resale prospects

Gauging your return Second-home buyers nowadays are more geared to enjoying their property rather than looking for a quick return on investment.

By and large, people want to spend time in that locale and take their families and enjoy it. Still, you should consider that you will be away from the property much of the time and factor in additional maintenance costs.

28 NEHomeLife.com | Vacation Homes | February 2017 NEHomeLife.com | July 2012

Insurance considerations If you are considering a second home on the beach, factor in the cost of flood insurance in addition to your home insurance.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain flood insurance in coastal communities.

It sometimes may be more challenging than for a primary residence because of the lack of geographical proximity and the concern of the insurance company that the home will not be properly maintained."

Mortgage requirements As for obtaining mortgage financing, lenders look for the same factors as they do for a mortgage on a primary residence. The difference is that you have to qualify for a second-home mortgage in addition to any mortgage debt on your primary home.

Typically, you will need to come up with a down payment of at least 10 percent to 20 percent, meet credit standards and debt-toincome requirements, and provide documents for income and asset verification.

Credit score to buy a second home Credit score requirements are slightly higher for second homes than for primary ones. For example, Fannie Mae sets its minimum FICO at 620 for primary home purchase loans with at least 25 percent down and 640 for vacation homes with down payments of 25 percent or more.

Tax implications Take into account the tax implications of your purchase. If you use your home as a true second home, you could get a tax deduction on mortgage interest payments, on the same terms as for your first mortgage, as well as for the property taxes.

If you rent out your second home, you will have to consider additional tax ramifications, particularly if the rental period extends beyond 14 days a year.

As always consult with your mortgage professional prior to your search to review your options. Peter DeFusco First Eastern Mortgage 508678-1166

Spending a Lot of Money with Zillow?

It’s become a bidding war that’s getting out of control.For every dollar you spend with Zillow, Trulia or REALTOR.com you could be investing into your own personal marketing system to build your own brand. Your sellers homes are going to always be on these sites for buyers to find anyway. Why Build Zillow’s Business when you can build your own business for the same investment monthly.

Let’s Look at The Facts A or B A) Zillow Leads are one time customers usually already represented by another realtor that you earn fractional commissions on and never see again.

B) Acquire a customer through your own multi- media marketing platform and list their home and sell them another home and have their family business for decades.

Both these investments in business require a monthly budget but only one is a true investment in the future growth of your real estate business.

Modular Homes Make New Home Building Easy

Modular homes are a great alternative to traditional on-site new home construction. Because most of the initial construction work is done in an off-site, climate-controlled factory using an engineered approach to building, these systems built houses offer a more efficient and cost-effective method for building your dream home. After individual, custom-designed modules are created by the manufacturer, they are transported to the building site. A local builder applies the finishing touches after joining the sections together using the same methods and standards used for stick-built houses. The result is that beautiful one- and two-story modular homes can be purchased at significantly lower cost per square foot.

Modular homes match the quality and appearance of traditional stick-built houses.

This is not boring prefab housing with no curb appeal. Modular construction offers a wide range of custom-designed floor plans that can deliver your family its custom luxury house.

Modular Homes Are Not Mobile Homes Modular homes have no design limitations.

Your manufacturer and local builder can work together to create any dream house you want. The key difference between prefab homes and traditional houses is that modu-

66

lar houses start out as individual sections that are constructed in a factory. The finished sections are transported to your selected building site and then assembled together using giant cranes. The assembly process looks a little like building with Lego blocks but the construction standards are obviously a lot higher. Modular homes are built on foundations and cannot be moved after they are set on their foundation. These prefab houses can be any shape or size and will meet or exceed your local and

state building codes. Once they are fully constructed, they are just as strong and attractive as any building constructed with traditional methods.You can have glass sunrooms, extra tall ceilings, warm fireplaces and anything else

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Home Automation H A S

A R R I V E D

NEHomeLife.com | February 2017

“For us it all begins with what the customer is looking for and what functions in their home or business they wish to automate. Our company handles all projects from start to finish and provides service for all systems we install. The key aspect of any home automation system is reliability and ease of use. Our company has been built on listening to the clients’ needs and providing the best and most reliable solutions.”

- LUIS RODRIGUEZ & GREG MORALES

F

ifty years ago home automation meant you had a garage door opener and a TV remote control and for the lucky few a sprinkler system to water your lawn. In the last 10-years home automation has become one of the top home improvement sectors in the market. The smart homes of today connect us through smart phones, hand held command devices and even voice command through new technologies like Alexa, Siri and Echo. Any device in your home that uses electricity can be put on your home network and at your command. Whether you give that command by voice, remote control, tablet or smartphone, the home reacts. Most applications relate to lighting, home security, privacy, home theater and entertainment, heating and cooling.

The idea of a smart home might make you think of George Jetson and his futuristic abode or maybe Bill Gates, who spent more than $100 million building his smart home. Once a draw for the tech-savvy or the wealthy, smart homes and home automation are becoming more common. Sales of automation systems by the end of 2017 are expected to grow to over $44 billion worldwide. Much of this is due to the jawdropping success of smartphones and tablet computers. These ultra-portable computers are everywhere, and their constant Internet connections means they can be configured to control a myriad of other online devices.

The Internet of Things is a phrase that refers to the objects and products that are interconnected and identifiable through digital networks.

This web-like sprawl of products is getting bigger and better every day. All of the electronics in your home are fair game for this tech revolution, from your fridge to your furnace.

It’s only within the last few years, however, that technology has become affordable enough for the everyday consumer and connectivity and access to the Internet has become widespread enough for the dream of the smart home to finally start becoming a reality for all.

To further understand the growing interest among consumers and homebuyers of smart home technology and The Internet of Things, it’s also important to understand the impact that mobile devices are having on our lives.

What used to be a quirky industry that churned out hard-to-use and frilly products is finally maturing into a full-blown consumer trend.

Today almost all cable and satellite providers and security companies offer home automation services as part of monthly plans with a full menu of choices. There are also a number of national

firms building dealer networks in all major markets in the U.S. In Southern New England Luis Rodriguez and Greg Morales from Wow Media has been involved in the industry for over 15 years, integrating systems in home theater, home security, lighting design and full home voice and smart phone control for home automation. His company specializes in the newest custom designed technologies for home and business applications.

Luis and Greg said,”For us it all begins with what the customer is looking for and what functions in their home or business they wish to automate. Our company handles all projects from start to finish and provides service for all systems we install. The key aspect of any home automation system is reliability and ease of use. Our company has been built on listening to the clients needs and providing the best and most reliable solutions.”

Luis and Greg also explained, "In new home construction today it is critical to make sure a home is prepared for the future of home automation.

Even if you are not adding home automation right away, pre-wiring for this technology will enable easy installation in the future and make your home technology ready. A home automation ready home will return substantial gains when it comes time to sell. They recommend to all clients they consult with to see a live demo of an automated home before deciding on any system.”

No matter what, home automation is here to stay and will soon be as common as a computer in every home in America.

As we all learn to live greener and more efficiently on our planet we can expect science and technology in the years ahead to make it all easier.

Looking in and Looking Out

Window Treatments that Make a Difference

By NEHL Staff

Windows come in all shapes and sizes, yet the one thing they have in common is their purpose: controlling light and privacy. Depending on their orientation to the sun and public spaces, some need just an impression of cover, while others need more significant privacy features.

Whether you have a new or existing home the task of designing and specifying window treatments can be daunting. The first step is to identify the two types of window treatments you may need; HARD- the functional window coverings such as blinds and SOFT- these are the decorative treatments made out of fabric.

While common window coverings can work for just about any window style or size, unique treatments can be the most captivating. Designs that creatively use everyday materials in unexpected ways can make a huge impact on the look of a room.

Steven Souza at Window Works in Swansea, MA is a master craftsman when it comes to window treatment for your home. For over 25 years

90

he has been providing homes and businesses in Southern New England with award winning products and services. “Advances in technology and design today offer consumers so much more to choose from and at very affordable prices.

Professionally installed window treatments provide lasting solutions to beautify your home and ad value to your property as well,” said Steve.

One way to add pattern to a room is at the windows. This is typically done with fabric, whether it’s voluminous swaths of drapery or tailored, functional shades. Both are excellent options, but there are other possibilities as well.

Wooden blinds have become a very popular product in our line and they create a wonder-

NEHomeLife.com | The Home Show | February 2017

ful ambience in any room and offer complete privacy as well.

Window Works provides design consultants that will come to your home to advise you on what works best for each individual application and will handle measuring and samples of various styles and colors to suit your needs.

Steve said, “ We take pride in our award winning service and products and fully guarantee all products and installations. We do not hire sub-contractors; our technicians install all our products only. I think the most common misconception that people have today is that the big box stores must be less expensive. The truth is you can have professional in home service and installation of window treatments and spend

about the same amount.”

In our homes and businesses today window treatments provide us with function, design and style that make a very clear statement about the look and feel of the space we both live and work in. Great looking windows ad value and marketability to property and can be a huge advantage to selling a property a well. The first impression in any room is the light and the windows.

“2016 was one of our busiest years and this year we are busier because of our quality work at very competitive prices. It seems the economy has turned and people are investing in their homes with many updates and improvements, window treatments seem to be high on their list,” Steven said.

You will find the staff at Window Works to be friendly and professional, they offer options for almost any price point and guarantee all installations.

Closet Geeks

Organize Your Life:

Custom Closet Geeks has the Solution and it works!

Organization is the art of having things in the right places in life so we may have easy access to them. A simple premise but in reality the lack of organization accounts for most of the wasted time in our lives. While it’s true that our phones and computers have organized our contacts, schedules, workflow and communications our living and working spaces have lagged well behind the trend.

I am perplexed why every home that

has been built in the last 100 years makes little or no provisions for organization and function to accommodate all the things that we acquire in a life. So lets see, I am going to pay $350,000 for this great house, but there is no where to put anything I own where I can see it and have easy access to it. With all the other pressures of time in life you would think that seeing and finding things with ease would be a first priority for all of us each and every day.
