Survey: Sellers Waiting Out Pandemic Are Ready to List
Homeowners have had all the usual reasons to sell over the past two years – marriages, deaths, children, etc. – but many hunkered down during the pandemic, and some feared the housing market because selling might be easy but finding a new home? Not so much.
A survey conducted by HarrisX for realtor.com, however, suggests that many of those people might be planning to list their home in 2022, with 65% of them planning to do so this winter and spring. The survey of 2,583 consumers was conducted online in September-October 2021.
Many sellers, however, want to set an asking price higher than they think their home is worth, and they expect buyer bidding wars.
When will sellers list? (more…)
$10 million plus sales more than double in 2021
High-end home buyers were a tour de force in 2021, and Los Angeles was their shopping destination of choice, according to an inaugural ultra-luxury-focused report from Compass released Wednesday.
Across the U.S. last year, more than 2,300 residential properties priced at $10 million or more changed hands across the 30 major markets the brokerage profiled—more than twice as many deals as in 2020.
Los Angeles took the lion’s share of those trophy-home sales, with 27.3%—or 628—of all $10 million-plus sales occurring in La La Land. Next in line was Manhattan, with 326 transactions, followed by Palm Beach, Florida, with 203.
Across all 30 markets analyzed, more than $40 billion was spent on residential real estate at or above $10 million, the report said, a 138% surge from 2020. (Mansion Global)

Naples Year End Market Report by Location and Property Type
This reports shows the median prices for different property types for 2020 and 2021 for Naples overall, and also broken down by the 5 areas of Naples. At the end of the article is a map of Naples zipcodes together with a link to my Guide to Buying and Selling in Southwest Florida.
The market statistics produced by Realtor Boards provide a lot of useful information, but group together what to me are wholly different categories – e.g. Detached Villas with Single Family, Attached Villas with Condos. Here then is what I hope will be a more useful and informative analysis, which shows the breakdown using the categories that make sense to me. I also include definitions of the different property types after the charts.
First, the overall market in Naples, showing that median prices increased from 20-29%:

Florida Dodges Bullet as Storm Season Set to End
While for the second consecutive year the hurricane season has exhausted a list of storm names, Florida has had brushes with only three named systems – Elsa, Fred and Mindy – that were mostly rainmakers with tropical-storm force winds.
All things considered, the state has been relatively unscathed in the highly active storm season, allowing emergency staff in Florida – who also needed to react to wildfires and the COVID-19 pandemic – to continue addressing lingering impacts of past storms.
“We’re still working Hurricane Michael. We’re still working Hurricane Irma, Matthew, Hermine, Dorian and so on,” said Kevin Guthrie, director of the state Division of Emergency Management. “So, yeah, it was good for us to be able to work on some of those past disasters and get them working towards closing out.”
For a third year, Florida can chalk up the outcome of the six-month season to luck or the fate of wobbles. The 2021 hurricane season officially ends on Dec. 1. (more…)
