Naples Florida Real Estate Market Activity

Naples closed transactions in the 1st quarter of this year exceeded 1st three months of 2010 by 6%. This positive trend has been the norm now for three consecutive years!

To put it in perspective, during the 1st quarter of 2008 Naples had a total of 964 closed transactions compared with 2,097 transactions in the 1st quarter of this year! Savvy Buyers have been, and continue to be extremely active!!

Despite this positive growth in sales activity, inventories have remained high while prices continue to be at an all time low.

We continue to be in a “Buyers” market but it is becoming increasingly more difficult to predict timing of a shift to a “Sellers” market. This shift is likely to result in an upward trend of selling prices.

Do not miss your opportunity to capitalize on the most lucrative Buyers market in the history of Naples. Call us BEFORE it’s too late.

First Quarter Naples Real Estate Market Statistics

Bay Colony Report

We wish you a Healthy and Prosperous New Year and look forward to assisting you with your future real estate goals!

Naples Sales activity in the 4th quarter (October-December) slowed down across the board from its blistering pace set in earlier months. The shortfall was nearly 11% behind 4th quarter 2009.

In the 4th quarter, the “less than 300k” category finished 8.8% below 2009. The middle market registered a 16.5% short fall while the high end market registered an 11.5 % decline.

Totals for the year are impressive given continued weak economic conditions and a nationally battered real estate industry. Naples continues to defy national trends and closed out the year nearly 12% ahead of 2009. This is the second consecutive year with positive results. Fuelling the local demand are historically low prices and great value across all three market segments.

Yearly performance in the “less than 300k” category finished 10.2% ahead of 2009. The middle market registered a 12.4% improvement while the high end market registered a whopping 27.4% gain.

January 2010 Real Estate Report

January started where December left off. Sales, for the fourth consecutive month, exceeded all three segments by large margins. In fact, activity in the high end market turned in the highest growth rate posting a 70% (month-to-month) increase. It would be naïve to continue to ignore these indicators. I will, for the first time, go on record and predict that prices may have bottomed and may very well be headed in the opposite direction.

The Naples real estate market is, indeed, in full recovery mode. The pool of foreclosures and short sales is shrinking daily. Do not miss your opportunity to take advantage of the best Buyers market in the history of Naples. Please call me BEFORE time runs out.
