Naples closed transactions in the 1^st quarter of this year exceeded 1^st 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 1^st quarter of 2008 Naples had a total of 964 closed transactions compared with 2,097 transactions in the 1^st 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.

First Quarter Naples Real Estate Market Statistics

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 4^th 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.

2010, MARCH

The Naples real estate market is in full recovery mode. Number of transactions in February 2010 represents the highest number in last four years. Number of transactions, now for the fifth consecutive month, exceeded all three segments by large margins. Sales activity in the intermediate market (300k-999k) was very strong posting a 56% increase. Total for the month of February sales increased by 40%.

Folks, do not continue to ignore these indicators hoping for better deals. Last month I went on the limb and predicted that prices may have bottomed and could be headed up.

February 2010 Report

Jim

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.

Naples sales activity report- December and year end

November is the second consecutive month in which monthly sales activity in all three home price categories exceeded last year. The less than $300k market continued to sizzle with sales up 83%. The $300k-$999k market posted a very strong month exceeding 2008 by 50%. The over-one-million $ category posted a whopping 26% increase.

With eleven months in the books, year–to-date numbers are very strong, ahead of last year by 48%! The driver continues to be unprecedented sales activity in the less than $300k category. The increase over YTD last year in this market segment is 107%, with over 2200 more transactions!
