May brought more good news as single family existing home prices continued to climb, according to local real estate data. All signs are pointing toward this trend gaining even more momentum.

Naples, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/08/2014 -- The data is in and it looks promising. Low supply of single family homes in South Florida are pushing the prices up according to experts who have reviewed the monthly stats.

Both Miami-Dade and Broward counties are seeing this effect, which is just the latest good news after two and a half years of seeing steady increases in price tags. According to the Miami Association of Realtors since May 2013 Miami-Dade single-family homes have seen their value jump over 12.5 percent.

"Sales of luxury properties continue to rise, especially in the Miami market," commented Tim Ryan of Equity Realty, local experts on South Florida real estate. "Many people are pointing toward these homes as not only being a great place to live, but also a very sound investment."

While high end and luxury homes saw these price increases, Miami-Dade townhouses and condos didn't fare as well, seeing a 3.4 percent drop in prices, also according to the Miami Association of Realtors. One of the causes of this is the number of foreclosures and high number of sales in these categories.

South Florida's real estate trends are roughly falling in line with national averages. Overall, across the country home prices are steadily climbing. The average price of a home sale is up 9.4 percent from April and 5.2 percent from a year ago. A clear sign South Florida is moving in the right direction.

The response to this news from local real estate shoppers has been enthusiastic.

Shawn Miller, from Miami, remarked, "We feel like it's a good time to make an investment in a home and to put renting behind us. If we had pulled the trigger and followed through last year, we would have been in very good shape right now. With the way things look we don't want to make that error again."

Naples, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/03/2014 -- If someone set out to design the perfect golf lover's paradise in Florida, the chances are it would end up looking something like Naple's The Quarry community. The Quarry is a sight to behold. Startlingly beautiful lakes, a nature's preserve that has to be seen to be believed and, best of all, a golf course that's been praised not only locally, but been pointed out by the United States Golf Association as having a "wow factor" and being "something special". The Quarry has all this and more, and in exciting news, Equity Realty has recently announced 9 new homes have hit the market from the community in May.

"The properties for sale include 6 single family homes and 3 condos so there's plenty of diversity as far as price goes," commented Tim Ryan of Equity Realty. "It's a great opportunity for anyone looking for a Golf Resort lifestyle to find a home here in The Quarry. This isn't something a golf enthusiast, or someone who loves what Naples has to offer wants to miss out on."

These 9 homes bring the total available in The Quarry up to 24. The prices range from the high $200,000's up to the mid $800,000's. A number of different subdivisions in the community, including the Quarry Shores, Nickel Ridge, Ironstone, Cobalt Cove, Spinner Cove, and the Silverstone are all represented. The homes in The Quarry include a mix of single family homes, carriage homes, luxurious estate homes and custom home from a variety of well known builders.

The golf course itself was designed by the award winning duo of Hurdzan-Fry. A mix of links style popular in European courses, but smartly integrating the native Naples terrain The Quarry's course is not one that disappoints or that will bore even the most dedicated golfer, with the added bonus of even being made with unique SeaDwarf Paspalum grass, that's had golf experts praise it for its "providing an extremely high quality of playing surface".

The response to the community's new homes being placed on market has been an excited one.

Diane G., from Naples recently remarked, "The Quarry really has it all. From someone looking for a smaller, but still luxurious home, to the person or family exploring something much larger this is a great choice. And the golf course is absolutely astonishing. I don't think these homes will stay on the market long."
