Comment
While this picture conveys very clearly the strength of the market I do not find the detail particularly helpful as it combines all types of property – from single family to condo.
I will publish detailed reports by sector and by area this coming Saturday. Meanwhile, here are links to the preliminary reports I have already published for June: (more…)

Overall Naples Housing Market in May
A tight inventory and buyer demand continued to push prices upward in May, resulting in an overall median closed price increase of 29.4 percent to $433,500 from $335,000 in May 2020. Note that May 2020 was the early stage of the COVID slump, so the size of the increase Year-over-Year is exaggerated.
Cash sales in May accounted for 58.4 percent of the closed sales transactions. Cash buyers continue to create challenges for competing buyers who require financing. It took an average of 90 days for a home to go from list to contract in May 2020, but in May 2021, the average days on the market was reduced to 43 days. Again, the YOY comparison is skewed because of COVID.
The May Market Report showed that overall closed sales increased 164.4 percent to 1,618 from 612 in May 2020 (a month when all the world was in COVID-19 lockdown). For perspective, closed sales increased 36 percent in May 2021 compared to May 2019 (a non-pandemic lockdown month). Nevertheless, closed sales
activity in May 2021 outperformed any other May in the history of NABOR®’s market statistics reports. (At the end of this article are market reports for the different geographic areas of Naples).
Overall inventory fell 79.1 percent in May to 1,290 homes from 6,177 homes in May 2020, but monthly new listings activity continues. May welcomed 1,274 new listings, a 7.6 percent increase from 1,184 in May 2020. New listings that come on the market each month help to temper the drop in overall inventory and provide more opportunities to eager buyers.
The monthly report from the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®) noted “monthly showing and sales activity is beginning to show signs of deceleration from the remarkable market experienced during the first quarter of 2021.”
Historically, the Naples housing market’s activity in the first half of the year is not sustained during the second half of the year. However, since tourism to Florida is expected to increase this summer and buyers from foreign countries may also begin to arrive in the coming months, a return to more normalized buying behavior in the second half of the year remains uncertain.

Tourism making major comeback in Naples and Collier County
April’s tourist numbers naturally show a huge increase from a year ago, when the national lockdown was underway, but more relevantly they are also show strong gains compared with 2019:
– A 9% increase in visitors
– A 24% increase in room nights
– A 20% increase in economic impact
– A 2% increase in occupancy
In Collier County, April might have been a bit unusual, drawing visitors here who may have wanted to come sooner, but waited to get vaccinated — or just to feel more comfortable with traveling, according to Anne Wittine, the director of data analysis for Research Data Services, the county’s tourism consultant.
