As reported on March 15th by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), the Naples Area housing market remains strong with increases in overall pending sales, overall closed sales, and overall median closed price for the 12-months ending February 2013. In addition, inventory decreased by 13 percent.  This report tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island).

Local real estate experts note that sales may slow due to the low level of inventory.

“Changes in inventory at some point may become an issue,” stated Dr. Shelton Weeks, Department Chair of Economics & Finance at FGCU. “Continued declines in inventory will produce some upward pressure on prices.  However, as prices rise we should expect builders to bring more new units to the market which may slow the advance in prices.”

John R. Wood CEO, Phil Wood also stated:

“The market has consistently improved since 2008 and is now very healthy.  However, we would not be surprised to see sales slow a little over the next six months due to a lack of inventory,” stated Phil Wood, President & CEO of John R. Wood Realtors.

The NABOR® February report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condominium sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, and geographic segmentation and includes an Overall Market summary. Specifics include:

  • The overall median closed price increased 17 percent from $180,000 at the end of February 2012 to $211,000 for the 12-month period ending February 2013.
  • Overall pending sales increased 5 percent from 10,160 units to 10,629 units for the 12-month period ending February 2013. Overall pending sales increased 20 percent in the $300,000 to $500,000 category from 1,397 units to 1,677 units; 17 percent in the $500,000 to $1 million category, from 1,023 units to 1,193 units; increased 26 percent in the $1 million to $2 million category, from 422 units to 532 units; and increased 23 percent in the $2 million plus category, from 257 units to 315 units, respectively for the 12-month period ending February 2013.
  • The average DOM (Days on the Market) increased overall from 162 days in February 2012 to 168 days in February 2013.
  • Inventory decreased 13 percent from 7,888 units in February 2012 to 6,843 units in February 2013.

  • The average DOM (Days on the Market) fell in all price segments except in the $0 – $300,000 price zone, resulting in a one percent increase from 169 days on the market in October 2011 to 170 days on the market in October 2012.

The result of the inventory decline from 12,157 in February 2007 to 6,409 in October 2012 is that buyers, in many cases, are desperate for inventory.  Plus, homes are selling more quickly, as shown by the average Days on the Market decreasing in every price category above the $300,000 range. Therefore, pricing remains crucial.

Mid-priced homes surge 29% in Naples, Florida

Monday, February 20th, 2012

Pending sales of all single-family homes and condos increased!

 According to the Naples Area Board of Realtors’ (NABOR) most recent market report, pending home sales of Naples area mid-priced single-family homes and condos (between $300,000 and $ 1 million) surged 29 percent in January 2012. The report tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island).

According to Phil Wood, President and CEO of John R. Wood Realtors, “Pending sales were very strong in January, plus some of the transactions were new development projects.”

Naples Area Board of REALTORS® data shows that the overall market experienced 8,295 closed sales for the 12 months ending January 2012, a 5 percent increase over the 12-month period ending January 2011 (7,879 closed sales).

NABOR® data shows:  

  • Overall pending sales in the $300,000 to $500,000 category increased 34 percent from 115 in January 2011 to 154 in January 2012.  
  • Closed sales in the $1 million to $2 million category increased 13 percent from 336 to 379 for the 12- month period ending January 2012.
  • Inventory dropped 19 percent from 9,388 in January 2011 and remains at a low level with 7,860 available properties in January 2012.
  • Average days on the market (DOM) in the $500,000 to $1 million category decreased 10 percent from 213 in January 2011 to 192 in January 2012.
  • Overall sales of homes and condos between $1million and $2 million increased 53 percent, January 2012 compared to January 2011.

“The $500,000 to $1 million category has been historically a leading market indicator, and that category experienced a 23 percent rise in pending sales from 100 in January 2011 to 123 in January 2012, a positive sign,” remarked Dr. Shelton Weeks, Director of the Lucas Institute for Real Estate Development & Finance at Florida Gulf Coast University.

 ”A good report from developers, along with positive comments of an overall healthy market, may bring more buyers off the side-lines,” said Mike Hughes, General Manager of Downing-Fry Realty. “The strong activity in pending sales brings a sense of urgency that if they wait too long to make a purchase, the property may not be there.”

“We are now seeing multiple buyers competing for the same property,” said Brenda Fioretti, NABOR® Media Relations Committee Chairman and Managing Broker of Prudential Florida Realty.
