Guide to Buying and Selling in Southwest Florida
The goal of this document is to acquaint you with the process of buying and selling in Southwest Florida.
Buyers
Showings
Listings appear in MLS with a link to ShowingTime to schedule showings. The advantage of this method for a buyer is that I can monitor the number of showings and gain insight into activity.
Two recent examples: a house near me in North Naples was listed at $415,000 on a Friday with Showings starting on Saturday. I could see that showings were back-to-back- to-back and on Sunday the listing agent asked for offers by 5 pm. The house sold for (more…)
The Europeans have started to Arrive!
The unprecedented travel ban, implemented in March 2020 in response to the pandemic, saw travellers from the UK, EU and various other countries worldwide allowed into the States for only a handful of “essential reasons”.
From 8 November, entry restrictions have been lifted for all fully vaccinated arrivals.
In celebration, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic staged an historic simultaneous take-off from London Heathrow’s two runways yesterday morning.

What I like about Living in a Gated Community
When people are thinking of buying a property in Florida one of the questions is whether to buy in a community with a Homeowners’ Association or a stand alone property. Here’s what I like about living in a gated community.
The gate
While it can at busy times cause a delay for service vehicles entering the property it also provides a sense of security for residents knowing that every car entering the property has to be cleared with an owner
Landscaping
Wednesday is my favourite day of the week – it is the day the landscaping crew of 3 comes. In addition to cutting the grass, they prune and trim trees and plants and will do other work on request.
Just this last week the palm trees were pruned and – best of all – mulch was laid throughout. No more trips to Home Depot for me! (more…)
Travelers are returning to Southwest Florida to find low inventory
Travelers are returning to Southwest Florida after the pandemic grounded flights and restricted some from coming, and RSW has announced new international flights from Frankfurt and Montreal, along with Midwestern and Northeast Destinations.
One recent arrival, Mark Keegans of Toronto, said: “I think the weather is the biggest thing, and my wife and I are looking at buying a place down here to spend the winters down here.” (NBC-2)
Really, really low Inventory (more…)

North Naples Fall Market Report
North Naples includes the area from Pine Ridge Road to the Lee County boundary just short of Bonita Beach Road. Sales saw a seasonal slowdown in the summer months, although median prices continued to rise.
East Naples Fall Market Reports
East Naples includes the areas to the East of Collier Blvd. The market saw consistent price growth through the first three quarters of 2021 in all categories, while sales saw a seasonal slowdown in the summer months.
South Naples Fall Market Report
South Naples includes the area bounded by 41, David Blvd and Collier Blvd. Sales and the Single Family median price eased a little from Q2 to Q3, reflecting the seasonal slowdown in the summer months.
Pelican Bay Fall Market Report
Pelican Bay is one of the Naples’ largest exclusive enclaves, situated on more than three square miles and bordered by pristine white-sand beaches. The sharp sales decline from Q2 to Q3 reflects the absence of high- end buyers in the summer months.
Imperial Golf Estates Fall Market Report
The Greater Imperial communities in Naples have 13 residential communities and a 36- hole Golf Club (membership separate from residential ownership) within its boundaries.
The market saw consistent growth through the first three quarters of 2021 in all categories, while sales saw a seasonal slowdown in the summer months
Central Naples Fall Market Report
Central Naples covers the area bounded by David Blvd, Goodlette-Franke, Pine Ridge and Collier Blvd. The market saw consistent growth through the first three quarters of 2021 in all categories, while sales saw a seasonal slowdown in the summer months.
Bay Forest Fall Market Report
Located on 150 acres of spectacular natural beauty bordering the back waters of the Gulf, the 17 communities of Bay Forest provide a quiet and peaceful setting.
Condo sales jumped sharply in the first 9 months of 2021, while the median price rose more modestly. (The small very number of sales in Q3 may have exaggerated the price movement, but 7 of the 8 sales were over $300,000).
Sterling Oaks Fall Market Report
Sterling Oaks is Southwest Florida’s premier tennis community. Located in North Naples, the community consists of 432 Single Family Homes and 304 Condos/Coach Homes in North Naples, Florida. Prices appreciated throughout the year (the Q3 Condo number is exaggerated by the very small number of sales.)
Naples Market Report by Location and Property Type
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. Single Family and Manufactured.
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.
Single Family and Villas
Villas have HOAs, Single Family homes do not. And the price point tends to be different. Ergo, they should be analysed separately:
