October 2023 Naples Florida Real Estate Review

The latest Naples Florida real estate review showed 594 properties sold for just over $609 Million during October. The highest-priced sale was a single-family home in Pine Ridge for $12,150,000. Additionally, 164 of the real estate transactions for the month were at or above $1 Million. Year-to-date, Collier County has had $8.9 Billion worth of home sales.

Additionally, the average closed price of all properties year-to-date in Naples is now over $1 million. And, of the top 10 highest-priced home sales, 40 percent were in luxury golf communities, including Pelican Bay, Grey Oaks, Mediterra, and Quail West.

Overall, inventory ended the month with 3,367 properties for sale, representing a 30 percent increase over the same time last year. It was also a 20 percent increase over the previous month.

Similar to the prior month, there was another notable increase in new listings in Naples.  A total of 1,231 new properties came to market during the month giving Buyers more options.

As has been the common theme for the year, although we kept adding new listings to our inventory, it’s just not at the pace we need to keep up with demand. However, there are some neighborhoods where there’s a healthy supply of properties for sale. For example, in the Naples Beach area (34102, 34103, and 34108) the month ended with a ten-month supply of homes for sale.

On the flip side, there is little to no inventory of homes for sale in many golf communities. For example, there is only one single-family home for sale in Wyndemere Country Club. If you are considering buying or selling in the area, be sure to work with an expert.

In neighborhoods where inventory remains low, prices will continue to rise. Not sure which neighborhood is right for you? Let us be your guide.

Naples Florida Real Estate Review – October 2023

October 2023 versus October 2022 Highlights

• Closed sales decreased 13 percent compared to October of last year.
• Overall pending sales decreased 1 percent versus the same time in 2022.
• Inventory increased 30 percent up from 2,597 homes to 3,367 homes for sale.
• Average days on market increased 37 percent up to 56 days compared to October of 2022.

In all, there were 318 single-family homes and 276 condos sold for a total of 594 sales during the month. Total property sales were 13 percent lower than the same time last year.

The median single family price came in at $580,000 for October, up from $555,000 during the same time last year. And, the median condo sales price remained similar to last year, ending the month at $439,500, up from $439,000 in October of 2002.

Further, even though the number of days it took for a property to go to contract increased quite a bit over last year (37% increase), it decreased by three days compared to the prior month. The typical number of days on the market during a healthy market is 120 days, well above the October levels.

Finally, the latest stats showed there was more room for negotiation from the list price during October. The percent of list price received was 96 percent which is far better than 2 years ago when it was 98.7 percent of list price if you are a Buyer.

Bottom line, it remains a Seller’s market for BOTH condos and single-family homes. You still have time to cash in on the high buyer demand. What is my home worth…

Sarasota Housing Report

The latest Sarasota housing report showed 784 properties sold for just over $525 Million during October in the county which includes North Port, Sarasota, and Bradenton areas. Year-to-date, there has been $6.5 Billion in closed sales.

The luxury market was strong, as evidenced by the 97 properties sold at $1 Million and above. The highest-priced sale was for a single-family home on Casey Key overlooking the Gulf of Mexico for $9,000,000.

Will it continue? There is no way to know for sure. However, we do know Florida’s economy remains strong. Once again, the state exceeded expectations with tax revenue collections, bringing in $215 Million more than projected during September. Additionally, the Sunshine State remains a prime destination for wealthy and ultra-high-net-worth individuals to buy homes. Jeff Bezos is the latest to make the move to South Florida. He is just one of many looking for a tax-friendly state.

So, between low supply and high demand, prices are expected to rise just not at the same pace as the past couple of years.

Sarasota Housing Report – Single-Family Homes

October 2023 versus October 2022 Single Family Home Highlights:

• Closed sales increased 3.5 percent going from 520 transactions up to 538 sales.
• Pending sales increased from 352 last October compared to 509 this October, a 44.6 percent increase.
• Inventory increased 52.7 percent up to 2,424 homes for sale compared to this same time last year when 1,587 homes were for sale.
• New listings increased from 559 up to 949 which was a 69.8 percent jump.
• Median days on market increased to 29 days which was a 45 percent increase versus October of 2022.
• Available inventory of single-family homes ended October with a 3.9 months’ supply of homes available for sale which was up from 2.2 month’s supply during October of 2022.

Single-family home inventory continued its upward trend. Similar to the previous month, inventory increased month-over-month by 12.5 percent, giving Buyers more options.

Unlike last month when the number days from a new listing to contract fell month-to-month, during October, it increased slightly up to 29 days. The low days on market combined with just a 3.9 months supply of inventory gave Seller’s the upper hand.

Also, the median sales price rose for the first time in 4 months going from $494,000 in September up to $520,000 in October. Also notable was the percentage of single-family home sales which were cash purchases. Almost 46 percent of all single-family home sales were a cash transaction which was up from 45 percent during the prior month.

Bottom line: It remains a Seller’s market for Sarasota single-family homes.

Sarasota Housing Report – Condos and Townhomes

October 2023 versus October 2022 Condo Highlights:

• Condo sales decreased 1.6 percent going from 250 real estate transactions down to 246 sales.
• Pending sales increased 29.6 percent up from 179 last October to 232 this October.
• Inventory increased 107.7 percent up to 1,371 condos for sale compared to last October when there were only 660 units for sale.
• New listings rose from 295 up to 493 or a 67.1 percent increase.
• Median days to contract was 32 days which was up from 28 days last year.
• Available inventory of condos ended October with a 4.4 months’ supply of properties available for sale which was a 144.4 percent increase.

Similar to single-family homes, condo inventory increased significantly over last year. More importantly, inventory rose month-to-month for the third straight month. There were 1,371 condos for sale at the end of October compared to 1,189 units for sale at the end of September which was a 15 percent increase.

While we moved in the right direction adding 182 additional condos for sale, we ended with just a 4.4 months’ supply of condos for sale. We’ve moved closer to a balanced market which is traditionally a 6-7 months’ supply of units for sale.

Additionally, days to contract fell from 39 days during the prior month down to 32 days in October. Notable was the percentage of cash sales which was 67 percent of all condo sales up from 58.2 percent during the prior two months. With low inventory, low days on market, and high buyer demand, the condo market remains a strong Seller’s market.
