2018 Naples Third Quarter Real Estate Activity

2018 Naples Third Quarter Real Estate Activity

One year after Hurricane Irma, third quarter real estate activity for 2018 remains solid.  September, in particular, showed impressive overall closed sales numbers.  In Naples, closed sales increased 62 percent to 644 homes in September of 2018 compared to 398 closed home sales in September of 2017. According to broker analysts, this impressive increase in month over month sales is a result of the effect of the hurricane when home sales halted following the massive storm.

The Naples third quarter real estate report showed notable increases in every category except days on market which declined slightly. Overall pending sales in the third quarter are up 20 percent, closed sales are up 13 percent, the median closed price is up 3 percent, inventory is up 4 percent, and the days on market decreased 1 percent; all indicators that the third quarter real estate market in Naples is healthy.
