Let's Talk...
Greetings from Sunny Naples!
2012 ended with a bang and showed a Naples Median Sales price increase of 17!
Double digit appreciation in Naples was predicted in April 2012 by the Chief Economist of the National Association of Realtors, Dr. Lawrence Yun, and many people were skeptical about his prediction. Well, Dr. Yun was right.
Naples inventory of homes for sale continues to decline and we are currently at our lowest inventory since we began tracking in 2007. There are currently only 6,557 homes available for sale which represents 7 months of inventory.

2012 MEDIAN CLOSED PRICE INCREASED
17 PERCENT!!!
| 2012 MEDIAN CLOSED PRICE INCREASED 17 PERCENT...
Naples, Fla. (Jan. 18, 2013) - The Naples area overall median closed price increased a remarkable 17 percent from $175,000 in 2011 to $204,000 in 2012, according to a report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island).
"At our annual Economic Summit held in April, Dr. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist of the National Association of REALTORS®, predicted a 10 percent increase in the overall median price by the end of 2012," stated Brenda Fioretti, Managing Broker at Prudential Florida Realty. "At the time, many people were incredulous with his assessment, but now today we are delighted to see the real estate market's prices rebounding and surpassing estimates."
The NABOR® 2012 Annual Report provides comparisons of single-family home and condominium sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, and geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary. The NABOR® annual sales statistics are presented in chart format, including these overall (single-family and condominium units) findings:
- Overall closed sales increased 9 percent, from 8,345 units in 2011, compared to 9,121 units in 2012. Overall closed sales increased 20 percent in the $300,000-$500,000 category, from 1,129 units to 1,357 units, and increased 29 percent in the $500,000-$1 million category, from 794 units to 1,022 units, from 2011 to 2012, respectively.
- Overall pending sales increased 6 percent, from 10,070 pending sales in 2011 to 10,683 pending sales in 2012.
- Overall inventory decreased by 13 percent, from 7,581 listed properties in 2011 to 6,557 listed properties in 2012. Pending sales with contingent contracts are included in the overall inventory number.
- Overall pending sales in the Naples coastal area increased 15 percent, from 1,791 units to 2,057 units, in 2012. Closed sales increased 14 percent, from 1,641 units in 2011 to 1,869 units in 2012.
"2012 was a very good year across the board for the Naples area real estate market," stated Mike Hughes, Vice President and General Manager of Downing-Frye Realty. "From overall pending sales to closed sales and higher median closed prices, along with a continued decrease in inventory, it was a strong year. So strong, in fact, that we now would like to see higher levels of available inventory."
Thomas A. Bringardner Jr., President and CEO of Premier Commercial, added "The continued economic recovery, both nationally and locally, as well as the decrease in the unemployment rate (dropping to 7.8 percent for Collier County in November 2012) and increase in tourism is benefitting the residential and commercial market."
"The overall commercial market has remained relatively steady and now we are seeing modest improvements," he said. "Recent large deals, including the sale of the Fifth Third Bank building and the Venetian Village, in addition to large land deals, highlight the improvement in the commercial market."
The NABOR® 2012 Fourth Quarter Report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condominium sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, and geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary.
