Market Update!
“Housing Market Shows Resilience During Active Hurricane Season”
per the NABOR market report released on November 29th.
The housing market in Naples during October was remarkably resilient even as it faced interruptions from two major hurricanes. There were 1,179 new listings in October, a 13.9% increase compared to September. More inventory means more competition. As such, the overall median closed price in October decreased 3.6% (year over year), which was fueled by an 8.1% decrease in the condominium market. Broker analysts agree that storm-ready homes and storm-familiar residents help the Naples housing market rebound quickly after a storm and these safeguards strengthen its reputation as a desirable homeownership destination.

What Are Housing Market Trends Telling Buyers and Sellers?
 Monthly existing-home sales declined by 1% in September, with year-over-year sales down 3.5%, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). "Home sales have been essentially stuck at a four-million-unit pace for the past 12 months," said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the NAR.
