More Properties Listed, Supply Still Short
The recent pullback in mortgage rates is spurring more homeowners to put their homes up for sale, though the increases so far have been too modest to return the housing market’s inventory of available properties back to pre-pandemic levels.
The number of active listings, a tally of U.S. homes on the market that excludes those pending a finalized sale, climbed 4.9% to 714,176 in December from a year earlier, the biggest annual increase since June, according to data released this week by Realtor.com.
A big part of the increase was due to a 9.1% jump in new listings, or properties that made their market debut in December, which posted an annual increase for the second time after 17 months of declines.
As is typically the case, active listings declined in December from the previous month, falling 5.5%. But the drop was less than the typical decline of 6.8% to 13.2%, Realtor.com said.
While the pickup in home listings is a welcome development for prospective homebuyers, the housing market remains constrained with for-sale inventory still well below pre-pandemic levels.
Consider that active listings were down 30.9% in December compared to the same month in 2019, while new listings were down nearly 12%.
Housing economists expect that the average rate will continue to decline this year, though forecasts generally see it moving no lower than 6%.
That may not be enough to motivate many homeowners to sell, given that some two-thirds of U.S. homes have a mortgage with a rate under 4% and more than 90% have a rate below 6%.
That means the upcoming spring homebuying season is likely to favor sellers as homebuyers compete for a relatively limited number of homes for sale. (Florida Realtors)

Collier County property values up 20% in last year
Despite the destructive force of Hurricane Ian, property values in Collier County have not only held steady but have actually increased significantly. According to the county’s tax roll data released on July 1, property values have risen by 20% since last year, reaching a total of $222.5 billion, up from $185.3 billion in 2022.
Several factors have contributed to the rise in property values in 2023. High construction costs, increasing land values, a tight inventory, and higher sale prices have all played a significant role in this upward trend, as reported by the Collier County Property Appraiser’s Office.
Concerns that Hurricane Ian would negatively impact property values have been proven unfounded. (more…)

5 things people don’t know about Naples
Rich Native American History: Naples has a rich Native American history that predates European settlement. The Calusa tribe, known for their sophisticated shell mound constructions and fishing techniques, inhabited the region for thousands of years before contact with Europeans. The remnants of their civilization can still be found in archaeological sites and shell mounds around the area.
Secret Mangrove Tunnels: Naples is home to a network of secret mangrove tunnels that can be explored by kayak or paddleboard. These hidden waterways wind through dense mangrove forests, offering a unique and adventurous way to experience the natural beauty of the area. Many visitors and even some locals are unaware of these hidden gems, making it a special find for those who stumble upon them.
Ancient Fossil Discoveries: Naples is a treasure trove for fossil enthusiasts. The region’s ancient limestone deposits have yielded remarkable fossil discoveries, including those of prehistoric sharks, giant sloths, and mastodons. The Naples area is particularly famous for its well-preserved shells and shark teeth that can be found on the beaches and in the surrounding waters.
The Birthplace of Swamp Buggy Racing: Naples is the birthplace of a unique motorsport called “swamp buggy racing.” In the early 20th century, hunters and fishermen needed a way to navigate the swampy terrain, so they modified their vehicles to tackle the challenging conditions. Over time, these modifications led to the development of a competitive racing sport that has become a local tradition. Naples hosts the annual Swamp Buggy Races, where drivers compete on a specially constructed track filled with mud, water, and obstacles.
A Haven for Birdwatchers: Naples is a paradise for birdwatchers, with a diverse range of avian species that inhabit the area. The city is home to several important birding sites, including the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, which provides a protected habitat for numerous rare and migratory bird species. From majestic bald eagles to vibrant roseate spoonbills, birdwatchers can find a wealth of feathered friends to observe and photograph in the Naples area.
