The follow up article on Monday was an article about “High-End Real Estate”, also located on the front page. Why all the sudden discussion about Naples real estate in Florida for sale? It was just reported that housing inventory decreased yet again last month, and by a big 13 percent according to a report released recently by our local Naples MLS, which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County. We have been forecasting this for several years now if you were to research our blog; and the power is indeed beginning to shift away from home buyers, who have had the upper hand on home prices for over five years now. Home sellers have become emboldened; especially when seeing the steady decline in Naples real estate in Florida inventory, that we have been experiencing for the last several years. Naples luxury real estate for sale in Coquina Sands for instance, has prices now starting at over $400,000 for a condominium in this beach area neighborhood.
The Naples real estate market in Florida has consistently improved year over year since 2008, and is now quite healthy. However, with the lack of inventory today, home buyers should feel a sense of urgency and should not hesitate in their purchase decisions, especially with well-priced Naples homes for sale ; as these properties are moving fast. A quick look at the February home sales numbers show the median closed price increased 17 percent from $180,000 at the end of February 2012 to $211,000 for the period ending February 2013 for all sales.
