Number of Citizens’ Insurance Policies Halved since 2023
As of Friday, Citizens had 770,729 policies. As of June 30, it had 774,814 policies; the next largest property insurer, State Farm Florida Insurance Co. had 643,671, according to a state Office of Insurance Regulation report. Citizens topped 1.4 million policies in 2023, and the depopulation program has played a key role in whittling that number.
Insurance Commissioner Michael Yaworsky last week signed orders that would allow five private insurers to assume up to 87,925 policies from Citizens in November and December. That came after the state last month approved proposals by nine companies to assume up to 428,947 policies in October, November and December. (more…)
Major Homebuilder Sees Surprising Signs of Life in Troubled Florida Housing Market
A major homebuilder has reported recent gains in Florida, marking a surprising turnaround in the state after several years of slowing sales and falling prices.
PulteGroup, the third-largest homebuilder in the nation, said that net new orders in Florida rose 2% last quarter compared with a year earlier.
“We’re really happy with what we saw out of Florida,” PulteGroup President and CEO Ryan Marshall told investors on a call last month. “We get buyers from all over the country, all over the world that come into Florida. We also see a healthy mix of folks moving within Florida as well.” PulteGroup’s unexpected uptick in Florida sales follows years of pronounced weakness in the state, where homebuilders have been forced to slash prices and offer mortgage rate buydowns and other generous concessions in the face of weak demand.
In recent months, however, there are signs that Florida’s housing market is getting closer to equilibrium, with inventory stabilizing and price declines slowing. (more…)
How’s the Market in Bonita Springs in 2025?
This is, naturally, the most asked question by both buyers and sellers.
While there are always anecdotal stories – about both high- and low-priced sales – I try in this blog to focus on facts, actual sales data, albeit recognising that sales take place 4-8 weeks after a contract is signed. So sales are a lagging indicator; but they are neither selective nor influenced by emotion.
While I normally focus on quarterly numbers in less seasonal markets, here in Southwest Florida the market fluctuates so much with the calendar – more higher-priced take place during “the season” – that I report monthly figures for the overall area.
Here are the charts showing median prices since 2022 for all areas of Bonita Springs, broken down by property type. In broad terms the median price peaks each year in the early months, drifts lower in the summer months and recovers in the Fall. The Condo market is showing signs of weakness beyond the seasonal.
Single family sales
SFH sales have been generally in the $700,00-800,000 range:

How’s the Condo Market in Pelican Bay in 2025?
As a follow up to my post How’s the Market in Naples in 2025? I have produced a simlar report for Pelican Bay Condos. As Condo sales account for 80% or more of all sales in Pelican Bay, I have not produced the charts for Single Family and Villa sales. Because of the much smaller number of those sales, they are more appropriately monitored on a quarterly basis and are included in my quarterly reports. Because there were only 3 very high-prices sales in November 2024 I have excluded that month from the chart. In general, the median price in recent years has been in the $1.1-1.5 million range, with the usual seasonal variations: Higher early in the year when more buyers of higher-priced properties are here, dropping in the summer and picking up again in the Fall.

NAPLES Q1 2025 MARKET REPORT
The median price of SFs and Villas sold in Q1 2025 reached record levels, while the median price of the Condos sold, while lower than in Q1 2024 was still higher than in the second half of 2024.Bear in mind that Q1 sales reflect contracts agreed in late 2024/early 2025, while market sentiment changed after that; it is likely that Q2 numbers will show a decrease.
PSF is another way of looking at the market. Q1 showed a nice cadence: $403 for SF, $351 for Villas and $307 for Condos. (more…)

IMPERIAL GOLF ESTATES 2024 MARKET REPORT and 5-YEAR REVIEW
Median Price and Sales
The median price of the Single Family homes sold in Imperial Golf Estates (Imperial) has more than doubled since 2020, while sales recovered in 2024 from the slowdown in 2022 and 2023.
The median price of the small number of Villas sold in Imperial has continued to increase year by year, while sales have been at a consistent level.
The median price of the Condos sold in Imperial in 2024 showed a small decline, but sales were just half the 2023 level.
While Inventory has increased sharply from the extremely low levels of 2022/23, it is at the low end of the pre-COVID levels at the beginning of the season.
