The latest Naples area housing market stats showed 600 properties sold for just over $516 Million. The highest-priced sale was for a single-family home for $15 million in Aqualane Shores. Additionally, 186 of the real estate transactions for the month were at or above $1 Million.

Overall inventory ended the month with 2,583 properties for sale, representing just a 1 percent increase over the same time last year. However, similar to other Southwest Florida cities, the numbers are very misleading. In July of 2019, before the pandemic, Naples had 5200 properties for sale. Inventory ended the month at 50 percent of what we usually have during this time of year.

Additionally, we’ve seen our 4th straight decline in inventory from month to month. At the end of June, we had 2,659 properties for sale. By the end of July, we had 76 fewer properties for sale. Although we keep adding new listings to our inventory, it’s not at the pace we need to keep up with demand, let alone return to a balanced market of 6-7 months’ worth of supply.

The latest Naples real estate recap showed 669 properties sold for just over $990 Million during August. The largest sale was for $27M in Port Royal. Additionally, the luxury market remained strong as evidenced by the 148 properties which sold at or above $1M.

Naples Buyers and Sellers are asking us daily, “Is Naples on Sale?” or “Is it now a Buyers market?”. The answer is no, the Naples housing market is not on sale and it is not a buyer’s market, at least not yet.

Locally, throughout Florida and nationally, the median sales price increased during August over last year during the same time. In the Naples area, the median sales price was up 25% for single family homes and 34 percent for condos. Nationally, the overall median sales price was up 19.9 percent.

So, while year over year data is similar locally and nationally, when you start to look at recent month over month data, there is a difference between local trends and national trends. In Naples the median price for single family homes fell by less than 1 percent and condos rose 6.8 percent. Conversely, the national median sales price has fallen for two consecutive months.

The latest Naples real estate stats for April showed 1,377 properties sold for just over $1.46 Billion! The largest sale was $36M for a single family home in Port Royal. Additionally, the luxury market was still strong as evident by the 358 properties sold at or above $1M.

The demand to live the Naples lifestyle remained strong as evident by the reduction in days on market which was down to just 16 days. Closed sales and pending sales were once again lower than this time last year due to limited inventory.

Now for a bit of good news if you are a buyer. Inventory increased 17 percent ending the month at 1,668. And as of May 25th, there are 1,763 properties for sale. Inventory is almost double what it was in January.

Additionally, the reports showed thirty-three percent or 549 of the properties whet through a price reduction. In the past week alone, there have been 259 price reductions.

To reiterate what we said last month, the price reductions do not mean prices are going below previous closed sales. These reductions are on Naples homes which were originally priced too high and seller’s are starting to adjust their prices to reflect current market conditions.

If you are a buyer, you now have more options. If you are selling, prices are starting to stabilize so you should consider listing your home sooner rather than later.
