In the ever-dynamic landscape of Southwest Florida’s real estate, the October 2023 Market Report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®) has unveiled intriguing trends and subtle shifts. Real estate aficionados will be heartened by a notable 31.8 percent surge in new listings, soaring from 924 in October 2022 to a robust 1,231 this year. This uptick in available properties hints at a burgeoning inventory, setting the stage for a promising winter season.
The median closed price of homes in Naples during October experienced a commendable uptick of 4.5 percent, reaching $580,000 compared to $555,000 in the same month of the preceding year. These figures underscore the resilience and sustained value appreciation within the local housing market.
While the summer months witnessed a diversion of consumer attention to travel, resulting in a temporary ebb in home sales, October’s metrics tell a nuanced story. Both pending and closed sales showed a moderate decline compared to the pre-pandemic levels reported for October, a trend associated with lower showing activity over the recent summer compared to the corresponding period in 2022. Specifically, overall pending sales dipped by 1.2 percent to 665 from 673, and closed sales saw a 12.8 percent decrease to 594 from 681 in October 2022.
A noteworthy contributor to the subdued sales activity was the extension of days on the market. During the summer of 2022, homes spent less than 20 days on the market. However, the past summer saw this metric rise to over 50 days, signaling a more deliberate buying process. In October, the trend continued, with days on market increasing by 36.6 percent to 56 days from 41 days.
Despite these nuanced shifts, brokers remain optimistic about robust pending and closed sales activity in the upcoming months. Showings during October experienced a notable 14 percent increase, totaling 21,180 showings compared to 18,654 in October 2022. This surge in showing activity hints at heightened buyer interest, setting the stage for a potentially bustling winter real estate season.
