John R. Wood’s Monthly Market Report covering Naples, Bonita Springs and Estero, Florida is now available! Here is an overview.
Market activity continued at an active pace during the month of June, as buyers began returning for the summer “buying season”. Inventory continued to drop and the median sales price is up substantially since the beginning of the year. Now is the time to begin focusing on building a listing inventory for the winter season. With some segments already experiencing a shortage of product, it is increasingly important to remain the company with the widest selection of well-priced properties in order to meet buyer needs.
