NABOR Market Report/December 2016...
Local Real Estate Brokers Predict Strong Season
Naples, Fla.

NABOR Market Report/December 2016...
Local Real Estate Brokers Predict Strong Season
Naples, Fla.
(December 16, 2016) -
Consistent with historic activity in Southwest Florida, pending and closed sales in the greater Naples housing market continue to increase as the winter season approaches. The November 2016 Market Report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island), showed a median closed price of $303,000 during November 2016; a 5 percent decrease from the November 2015 median closed price of $318,000. More sellers also entered the market in November, which resulted in a 40 percent increase in inventory to 5,733 properties in November 2016 from 4,095 properties in November 2015 (300 more properties than October 2016). Yet according to several broker analysts who examined the November 2016 Market Report, one obstacle agents continue to face is a market with pockets of improper valuations.
"One year ago we had 4.24 months of inventory market wide, said Cindy Carroll, SRA with the real estate appraisal and consultancy firm Carroll & Carroll, Inc. "The November 2016 statistics show an 8.02 month supply, that's a 60 percent increase in months of inventory year over year."
Carroll believes that the local real estate market reached the top of the current economic cycle in the fall of 2015 and explained that, "rising inventories require properties to be appropriately and competitively priced in order to achieve a sale. Overpriced properties tend to languish on the market, contributing to an oversupply condition. To avoid this, sellers should seek guidance from a REALTOR® who can help price the home appropriately from the beginning so it gets sold quickly and at the best price."
Wes Kunkle, President and Managing Broker at Kunkle International Realty, said many of his investor clients are adding to the area's lower end inventory. "When investors who bought between 2009 and 2012 start to reenter the market, this is a sign that price appreciation is good and it's a great time to sell."
Interestingly and according to the report, over 50 percent of homes sold in the last year were in the $300,000 and below price category. This segment continues to see an increase in sales month over month. In November 2016 there was an 8 percent increase in overall closed sales to 285 closed sales from 264 closed sales in November 2015.
From a seller's perspective, Mike Hughes, Vice President and General Manager for Downing-Frye Realty, Inc., said it is important for homeowners on the fence to determine whether they want to be proactive or reactive sellers. "Proactive sellers work with REALTORS® who focus on market valuations that are real."
Jeff Jones, Managing Broker at the Naples-Park Shore office of Coldwell Banker®, said he also watches days on market closely. "The number of properties selling under 30 days is increasing, while those in the 30 to 90 day and 90 day and up segments are stagnant. This tells me that there are still properties improperly priced out there."
The NABOR® November 2016 Market Report provides comparisons of single-family home and condominium sales (via the Southwest Florida MLS), price ranges, and geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary. The NABOR® November 2016 sales statistics are presented in chart format, including these overall (single-family and condominium)
Phil Wood, President & CEO of John R. Wood Properties, remarked that the Market Report showed an increase in inventory of just over 1,600 units above last year, of which 900 were below $500,000. "Only 200 of these new properties were in the Central Naples area; most of the inventory growth appears to be happening in areas outside the city limits."
"Now that we are past the election and the economy responded positively, we are looking forward to a strong and busy season," said Dominic Pallini, NABOR® President and Broker at Vanderbilt Realty.
Broker analysts agreed that factors that negatively impacted tourism and seasonal migration in 2016 like the February stock market slump, a low Canadian exchange rate, Brexit and Zika fears, and the presidential election are behind us now. The only obstacle left to overcome is irrational legacy pricing behaviors. With inventory expected to increase, buyers will have more options and sellers should seek guidance from a REALTOR® who knows the local market and can help price properties correctly.

to Purchase Their Home

Over 44 percent of homes purchased in October used conventional financing methods (e.g., mortgages), according to a report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®) that detailed activity in the greater Naples housing market during October 2016. The October 2016 Market Report, which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island), showed a gradual – but continuous – decline in cash sales with growth in conventional sales during the last 12 months.
n October 2015, cash sales accounted for nearly 65 percent of all homes sales in Naples, whereas in October 2016, cash sales accounted for only 56 percent of all homes sales in Naples. Interestingly, homes purchased in the $300,000 to $500,000 price category in October reflected the highest percentage of conventional sales (60 percent) of all the price categories reported.
“Increased use of conventional mortgages in October may be an indication of increased consumer confidence coupled with a better lending environment,” said Rick Fioretti, NABOR® President and Broker Associate with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Florida Realty. “In October 2014, only 32 percent of all home sales used conventional financing. In October 2015, conventional financing increased to 35 percent of overall sales.”...

Let's Talk... Hot off the Press!
Overview of our South West Florida Market...
Naples is heating up for a big season this year. Since the election is behind us, our trusted Economists predict a very robust selling season for 2017. We expect that 2016 will end up with about 15% fewer closed transactions than we saw in 2015. We expect this to improve in 2017.
Inventory of homes for sale of both new and existing homes continues to increase and this is a good sign for buyers. There are many good choices in every price range. The reports show that we currently have 6 months of inventory to sell. The under $300,000 price category continues to see more and more condominiums and fewer single family homes, and there are some great buying opportunities in condominiums under $300,000.
Year over year, the median sales price has increased 6%, most of the increase was noticed in the segment of the market under $300,000. Over $300,000 price range increase was much less, around 2%.
Let's Talk Today... My hope is to assist you and your friends & family with your South West Florida Real Estate needs. It is my profession and passion to know our market and be aware of the new and existing home opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

13 percent to 702 pending sales in October 2016 from 807 pending sales in
October 2015. Interestingly, overall pending sales in the $500,000 to $1 million
price category actually increased 14 percent to 125 pending sales in October
2016 from 110 pending sales in October 2015. Likewise, pending sales of
condominiums in the $500,000 to $1 million price category increased 30 percent
to 57 condominiums in October 2016 from 44 condominiums in October 2015.
The increase in pending sales extended to the single-family home market as well,
in which both the $300,000 to $500,000 price category and $500,000 to $1 million
price category increased 3 percent.
In the closed sales category, the October 2016 Market Report showed overall closed sales decreased 7
percent to 556 closed sales in October 2016 from 601 closed sales in October 2015. However, closed
sales of condominiums in the $1 million to $2 million price category increased 80 percent to 9 condominiums
n October 2016 from 5 condominiums in October 2015. And closed sales of single-family homes in the $300,000

For October, the overall median closed price increased 6 percent to $320,000 in the
12-months ending October 2016 from $302,000 in the 12-months ending October 2015. Conversely,
he overall median closed price for homes above $300,000 did not reflect a recordable change. Homes
in the $300,000 and below price segment, which experienced a 10 percent increase to $215,000 in the
12-months ending October 2016 from $195,000 in the 12-month ending October 2015, is once again
responsible for driving the overall median closed price increase.

According to Jeff Jones, Managing Broker at the Naples-Park Shore office of Coldwell Banker®, the
increase in days on market for October (15 percent) reflects a need to continue dialog about properly
pricing homes in Naples. "Even though we are selling homes in a very desirable location, when days
on market increase, one factor affecting this is overpriced properties. And because historically, inventory
increases right before season, REALTORS® need to take a bold stance now and guide home sellers to
a more realistic asking price based on today's market."

The NABOR® October 2016 Market Report provides comparisons of single-family
home and condominium sales (via the Southwest Florida MLS), price ranges, and
geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary.
The NABOR® October 2016 sales statistics are presented in chart format, including
these overall (single-family and condominium) findings:
"There is less than a three-months supply of single family homes under $300,000," remarked Bill Coffey,
Broker Manager of Amerivest Realty Naples, who added that if home buyers are looking to stay within
this price range they may be better served in the condominium market, which saw a 53 percent increase
in inventory to 1,116 condominiums under $300,000 in October 2016 from 731 condominiums under
$300,000 in October 2015.

According to Kathy Zorn, broker/owner, Florida Home Realty, "The report showed six months worth
of inventory to sell. We have not seen this high a level of inventory in the month of October since 2013.
So as we move into season with this healthy level of inventory, buyers will have more options, which is
all the more reason sellers should seek guidance now from a REALTOR® who knows the local market
and can help them price their properties right."
Geographically, inventory in the Naples Beach (34102, 34103, 34108) and North Naples (34109, 34110, 34119)
Geographically, inventory in the Naples Beach (34102, 34103, 34108) and North Naples (34109, 34110, 34119)

"There are plenty of homes to buy and sell in Naples," said Fioretti, who ends his term as NABOR®
President in December. "It's going to take some time to see how the market will react to the election
and the changes in the government, but I believe the challenge we REALTORS® face in the short-term
is educating the public on market pricing. The value of a home relates to local sale prices and a realistic
price means a rapid sale."

Let's Talk... Did You Know!?
The paper towels that are sitting on the kitchen counter, in your washroom cabinet or even at your workplace may seem to be a normal necessity in your everyday life.
But do you know that those very same paper towels you're using regularly do a massive damage to you and to our environment?
Watch this amazing video to help reverse the damages: http://clickhere.suchpapertowelsthere.top/n/17400237
Here are some scary facts for you to know...
- To make one ton of paper towels, 17 trees have to be destroyed and over 20,000 gallons of water have to be polluted for usage. That's more than enough water to feed a community of 40,000 people per day!
- Everyday, over 3,000 tons of paper towel waste is produced in the US alone and to make the matter worse, decomposing paper towels produce methane gas, a leading cause of global warming!
- In fact, an average person uses 2,400 to 3,000 pieces of paper towels each year. At the current store sale price, you're spending over $100 per year, $400 for a family of four, on these "harmful" paper towels.
- What you're about to discover is an advanced technology that will end your need for paper towels FOREVER and save you thousands of dollars. This advanced technology can also eliminate your usage of toxic chemicals that you use to clean your house.
All you need is WATER to clean virtually anything.
Watch this eye-opening video to save money and reduce your carbon footprint: http://clickhere.suchpapertowelsthere.top/n/17400237
