In the under $300,000 category for the first quarter 2013, the median closed price increased 18 percent. Therefore, we may see homes moving into the higher category $300,000 to $500,000 price range.” <br /> <br /> “Sales of traditional properties continue to rise from 51 percent of the market in July 2009 to 84 percent as of the end of March 2013,” stated Brenda Fioretti, Managing Broker at Prudential Florida Realty. “The statistics demonstrate that there are significantly less distressed properties in the Naples area.” <br /> <br /> Dr. Gary L. Jackson, Director of the Regional Economic Research Institute at Florida Gulf Coast University stated, “Collier County and Southwest Florida are continuing to recover from the housing bubble and financial market crisis that began in 2006. This has been a very slow and somewhat “choppy” recovery but we are seeing improvements in our local economy. Collier County taxable sales were $651.3 million in December 2012, four-percent higher than December 2011 indicating improvement in consumer spending. Passenger traffic at Southwest Florida International airport in January 2013 was up seven percent from January 2012.

In addition, inventory decreased by 13 percent according to a report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island). <br /> <br /> Local real estate experts note that sales may slow due to the low level of inventory. <br /> <br /> “Changes in inventory at some point may become an issue,” stated Dr. Shelton Weeks, Department Chair of Economics & Finance at FGCU. “Continued declines in inventory will produce some upward pressure on prices. However, as prices rise we should expect builders to bring more new units to the market which may slow the advance in prices.”<br /> <br /> “The market has consistently improved since 2008 and is now very healthy. However, we would not be surprised to see sales slow a little over the next six months due to a lack of inventory,” stated Phil Wood, President & CEO of John R. Wood Realtors. <br /> <br /> Mike Hughes, Vice President and General Manager of Downing-Frye Realty remarked, “Buyers right now should feel a sense of urgency. If a buyer finds a property that they like, they should not hesitate in their decision as reasonably priced properties are moving fast.” <br /> <br /> The NABOR® February report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condominium sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, and geographic segmentation and includes an Overall Market summary.

In addition, the condominium median closed price increased 4 percent in all zip codes for the same time period, according to a report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island). <br /> <br /> Brenda Fioretti, Managing Broker at Prudential Florida Realty stated, “The overall Median Closed price of $197,000 is the highest we have seen since July 2009 and in combination with our low inventory, has continued a trend in the Naples area with the move away from a ‘buyers’ market to a solid ‘buyers and sellers’ market.” <br /> <br /> Kathy Zorn, Broker/Owner of Florida Home Realty added, “We continue to see the overall median price trend upward slowly and steadily.”<br /> <br /> The NABOR® October report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condominium sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, and geographic segmentation and includes an Overall Market summary. <br /> <br /> The NABOR® October sales statistics are presented in chart format, with these overall (single-family and condominium units) specifics:<br /> <br /> • The overall median closed price increased 11 percent from $177,000 at the end of October 2011 to $197,000 for the 12-month period ending October 2012.<br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales increased 21 percent in the $500,000 to $1 million category, from 947 units to 1,149 units, for the 12-month period ending October 2012.

Pending sales with contingent contracts are included in the overall inventory number.<br /> <br /> • The average DOM (Days on the Market) fell in all price segments except in the $0 - $300,000 price zone, resulting in a one percent increase from 169 days on the market in October 2011 to 170 days on the market in October 2012.<br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales in the Naples coastal area increased 14 percent from 1,783 units to 2,037 units, and closed sales increased 10 percent, from 1,615 units to 1,776 units, for the 12-month period ending October 2012. <br /> <br /> The result of the inventory decline from 12,157 in February 2007 to 6,409 in October 2012 is that buyers, in many cases, are desperate for inventory,” said Jo Carter, President of Jo Carter & Associates. Plus, homes are selling more quickly, as shown by the average Days on the Market decreasing in every price category above the $300,000 range.

In addition, overall pending sales for September 2012 increased 22 percent compared to September 2011, according to a report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island).<br /> <br /> “The Naples area has just moved from a buyers’ market to a buyers’ and sellers’ market with tremendous opportunities for both,” stated Brenda Fioretti, NABOR Media Relations Chairman and Managing Broker of Prudential Florida Realty.<br /> <br /> Cindy Carroll, Vice President of Carroll & Carroll Real Estate Appraisers & Consultants stated, “More inventory would be helpful to the market. Resale inventory continues to decline despite the fact that new home building has returned.”<br /> <br /> John Steinwand, President of Naples Realty Services commented, “The single family home market is very hot. Pending sales of single family homes in the $500,000 to $ 1million category had a rousing increase of 15 percent from third quarter 2011 to third quarter 2012, and closed sales were up 4 percent for the same time period. The strong activity contributes to the inventory levels falling below 3,000 for single family homes.”<br /> <br /> The third quarter report provides quarterly comparisons of single-family home and condo sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary. An overall summary combines the statistics for both single family and condominium properties.<br /> <br /> The statistics are presented in chart format, along with the following statistics for third quarter 2012 compared to third quarter 2011:<br /> <br /> • Overall inventory decreased 12 percent from 7,069 for the third quarter 2011 compared to 6,195 in the third quarter 2012.<br /> <br /> • The overall average DOM (Days on the Market) increased 1 percent from 171 days in the third quarter 2011 to 173 days in the third quarter 2012.<br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales increased 12 percent from 2,103 pending sales in the third quarter 2011 to 2,362 pending sales in the third quarter 2012.<br /> <br /> • The median closed price increased 10 percent from $175,000 in the third quarter 2011 to $192,000 in the third quarter 2012.<br /> <br /> • Naples coastal area overall pending sales increased 17 percent reflecting 388 pending sales in the third quarter 2012 compared to 331 pending sales in the third quarter 2011.<br /> <br /> The NABOR® September sales statistics are presented in chart format, with these overall (single-family and condominium units) specifics:<br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales increased 96 percent in the $300,000 to $500,000 category, from 67 pending sales in September 2011 to 131 pending sales as of September 2012.<br /> <br /> • Overall inventory decreased by 12 percent from 7,069 in September 2011 compared to 6,195 in September 2012.

The robust third quarter in these price categories is very encouraging,” said Steve Barker, Advising Broker for Naples Realty LLC.<br /> <br /> As Brenda Fioretti stated, “Now is the time for sellers and buyers to take action. With interest rates at an all time low and with Naples values increasing, it is a perfect opportunity for sellers and buyers to achieve their real estate goals. Whether you are a seller, first-time homebuyer, investor, second or vacation homebuyer, move-up buyer or someone who has decided that it is time to downsize, it is the time to take advantage of current market conditions and the American Dream of Homeownership.” <br /> <br /> To view the entire report, visit http://www.NaplesArea.com<br /> <br /> The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR) is an established organization (Chartered 1949) whose members have a positive and progressive impact on the Naples community.

Looking at the inventory statistics it is interesting to note that in less than eight months, we reached an overall inventory of 6,043 in August 2012 from 7,860 in January 2012.

As inventory decreases and demand for homes remains high, we are observing an increase in prices. The statistics from the last three months have capped off a strong summer. The Naples area is no longer as seasonal as it used to be,” said Mike Hughes, Vice President and General Manager of Downing-Frye Realty.<br /> <br /> “It is important to remember that the increase in prices can vary from zip code to zip code and neighborhood to neighborhood, so it very beneficial for people to consult a REALTOR®,” said Coco Waldenmayer, Managing Broker of Engel & Völkers.<br /> <br /> “The market is shifting to higher priced properties,” commented Ernesto Velasquez of United Real Estate. “The number of sales under $300,000 decreased which indicates increased values of real estate and market advancement.” <br /> <br /> To view the entire report, visit http://www.NaplesArea.com<br /> <br /> The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR) is an established organization (Chartered 1949) whose members have a positive and progressive impact on the Naples community.

Inventory declined at least 12 percent in each price category from the second quarter of 2011 which had 7,208 properties compared to the second quarter of 2012 with 6,310 available properties, according to a report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island). <br /> <br /> “We are finding that in many cases properly priced properties are selling quicker, and some are generating multiple offers. This is causing price increases in some segments of our market,” said Brenda Fioretti, NABOR Media Relations Chairman and Managing Broker of Prudential Florida Realty.<br /> <br /> “We are seeing the gap between the list price and sale price narrowing in most market sectors,” said Cindy Carroll of Carroll & Carroll Real Estate Appraisers. “While a 10 to 12 percent discount off the list price was the norm 12 to 18 months ago, 5 percent to 7 percent (and less) is the current trend. This results from the continuing decrease in inventory and reflects sellers holding firm on their asking price. Buyers are realizing that the pool of available properties that meet their individual criteria is limited.” <br /> <br /> The second quarter report provides comparisons of single-family home and condo sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary. An overall summary combines the statistics for both single family and condominium properties. <br /> <br /> The statistics are presented in chart format, along with the following statistics for second quarter 2012 compared to second quarter 2011:<br /> <br /> • Overall closed sales increased 4 percent from 2,700 sales in the second quarter 2011 to 2,817 sales in the second quarter 2012. <br /> <br /> • The overall average DOM (Days on the Market) decreased 2 percent from 188 days in the second quarter 2011 to 185 days in the second quarter 2012. <br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales remained relatively the same for the second quarter 2012 with 2,877 pending sales compared to 2,879 pending sales in the second quarter 2011.<br /> <br /> • Naples Beach Area overall closed sales increased 15 percent from 568 closed sales in the second quarter 2011 to 654 closed sales in the second quarter 2012. <br /> <br /> The June report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condo sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary. <br /> <br /> The statistics are presented in chart format, along with the following statistics for June 2012:<br /> <br /> • The overall median closed price increased 9 percent from $175,000 in June 2011 to $190,000 for the 12-month ending June 2012.<br /> <br /> • Pending sales increased 11 percent from 1,297 to 1,440 in the $300,000 to $500,000 category and 16 percent from 910 to 1,057 in the $500,000 to $1 million category for the 12-month period ending June 2012.<br /> <br /> • Overall closed sales increased 12 percent in the $500,000 to $1 million category and 10 percent in the $1 million to $2 million category for the 12-month period ending June 2012.<br /> <br /> “The real estate market continues to clear. Prices haven’t done much but inventory is down, and this is progress from an economic standpoint,” said Dr. Shelton Weeks, Director of the Lucas Institute for Real Estate Development & Finance at Florida Gulf Coast University. <br /> <br /> “Days on market continue to trend downward, especially in the $500,000 to $1 million market which shows a 37 percent decrease from 216 days on the market in June 2011 to 136 days on the market in June 2012,” said Bill Poteet, 2012 NABOR President and President of Poteet Properties.<br /> <br /> Wes Kunkle, Managing Broker of Weichert Realtors on the Gulf stated, “Compared to June 2011, median closed prices are down 4 percent in the condominium market for the over $300,000 price category, but they are positive in the single family home category, having increased 2 percent in the over $300,000 price category from June 2011 to June 2012.”<br /> <br /> To view the entire report, visit http://www.NaplesArea.com<br /> <br /> The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR) is an established organization (Chartered 1949) whose members have a positive and progressive impact on the Naples community.

They increased by double-digit percentages in all price ranges, except in the under $300,000 category which increased a respectable 6 percent in May 2012 compared to May 2011.<br /> <br /> "The market seems to be on track right now," said Cindy Carroll of Carroll & Carroll, Inc. "Current inventories in many market sectors mirror levels we saw in 2003/2004. This is further evidence that we are returning to a balanced and stable market." <br /> <br /> Mike Hughes, General Manager of Downing-Frye Realty stated, “Inventory is down by almost 1,000 units over the last three months and we have experienced five straight months of positive momentum. Those are indicators of a potential strong summer for home sales.” <br /> <br /> John Steinwand, President of Naples Realty Services stated, “With the reduced overall inventory of 9 percent, properties are selling at higher prices than a year ago.”<br /> <br /> Coco Waldenmayer, Managing Broker at Engel & Voelkers, agreed, “Our current overall inventory of 6,679 hasn’t been this low since NABOR® began tracking the statistics in January of 2007 when inventory was 10,864.”<br /> <br /> Phil Wood, President of John R. Wood Realtors said, “Things are improving. We are starting to see homes sell within three days, and there has been an increase in the sale of teardowns. During March, April and May traditional sales have increased, and the condominium market is especially strong as shown by May condominium sales in the $300,000 to $2 million range up 28 percent.”<br /> <br /> The May report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condominium sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary. <br /> <br /> The May sales statistics are presented in chart format, together with these overall (single-family and condominium units) specifics: <br /> <br /> • The overall median closed price increased 8 percent from $175,000 to $189,000 for the 12¬month period ending May 2012.<br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales increased 11 percent in the $300,000 to $500,000 category, and 20 percent in the $500,000 to $1 million category for the 12-month period ending May 2012.<br /> <br /> • Overall inventory dropped by 13 percent, from 7,705 in May 2011 to 6,679 in May 2012. <br /> <br /> • Overall closed sales increased 15 percent in the $500,000 to $ 1 million category, from 781 units to 901 units, and rose 15 percent in the $1 million to $2 million category from 349 units to 403 units for the 12-month period ending May 2012. <br /> <br /> • The average days on the market decreased 11 percent in the $300,000 to $500,000 category, from 208 days on the market in May 2011 compared to185 in May 2012. <br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales in the Naples Beach area increased 15 percent from 1,690 to 1,943 and closed sales increased 16 percent from 1,493 to 1,727 for the 12-month period ending May 2012. <br /> <br /> “Single family home sales remain strong,” remarked Jo Carter, President of Jo Carter & Associates. “Pending sales activity in the $2 million plus category is up 50 percent, from 18 units in May 2011 compared to 27 units in May 2012. In the single family $1 million to $2 million category in closed sales there was a 100 percent increase from 19 units in May 2011 compared to 38 units in May 2012.” <br /> <br /> Phil Wood reflected, “Now that the market is improving we have seen local residents make the decision to sell their current homes and move into their dream home. With saleable houses, interest rates at historic lows, and affordable prices, it is the ideal time for many to finally buy their dream home.” <br /> <br /> To view the entire report, visit http://www.NaplesArea.com<br /> <br /> The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR) is an established organization (Chartered 1949) whose members have a positive and progressive impact on the Naples community.

For the fifth consecutive month, the overall median prices have increased. We are seeing several signs of improvement for the Naples real estate market, according to a report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island). The median closed price increased 22 percent overall in April 2012 compared to April 2011. This coupled with the fact that inventory continues to decline signals continuing strength in the Naples market.<br /> <br /> “Further highlighting the positive statistics is the fact that a remarkable 78 percent of closed sales were in the traditional transactions category,” said Steve Barker, Supporting Broker with Amerivest Realty. “Traditional sales are at the highest level since we started tracking them in 2009.”<br /> <br /> Mike Hughes, Vice President and General Manager of Downing-Frye Realty, Inc., agreed by stating, “The majority of business is traditional. In addition, inventory in all the geographic areas we track is down an average of 13 percent in April 2012 compared to April 2011.”<br /> <br /> Dr. Shelton Weeks, Director of the Lucas Institute for Real Estate Development & Finance at Florida Gulf Coast University remarked, “The biggest thing these the statistics is the increase in traditional sales which has reached the high 70th percentile for April 2012. This is really big, possibly more important than price increase and stability in the market. It shows the market is clearing and healing itself.”<br /> <br /> The April report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condominium sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary.<br /> <br /> The April sales statistics are presented in chart format, together with these Overall (single-family and condominium units) specifics:<br /> <br /> • The overall median closed price increased 22 percent from $185,000 in April 2011 to $226,000 in April 2012.<br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales increased 20 percent in the $500,000 to $1 million category from 895 pending sales to 1,070 pending sales for the 12-month period ending April 2012.<br /> <br /> • Overall inventory dropped by 13 percent from 8,214 in April 2011 compared to 7,130 in April 2012.<br /> <br /> • Overall closed sales increased 14 percent in the $500,000 to $ 1 million category from 760 units to 869, and rose 13 percent in the $1 million to $2 million category from 343 to 389 for the 12-month period ending April 2012.<br /> <br /> • The average DOM (Days on the Market) decreased 30 percent in the $1 million to $2 million category from 345 days on the market in April 2011 compared to 241 in April 2012..<br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales in the Naples Beach area increased 14 percent from 1,675 to 1,913 and closed sales increased 17 percent from 1,437 to 1,678 for the 12-month period ending April 2012. <br /> <br /> Jo Carter, President of Jo Carter & Associates, Inc. said, “The upper-end condos are selling, and selling faster.

The average days on the market for both categories decreased 24 percent and 30 percent, respectively, for the 12-month ending April 2012 compared to April 2011.” <br /> <br /> Ernesto Velasquez of United Real Estate remarked, “The majority of homes in foreclosure are being bought by investors at the under $300,000 range. Therefore, approximately three out of every four sales are traditional with only one being distressed.” <br /> <br /> Cindy Carroll, of Carroll & Carroll stated, “Inventory in the $300,000 category and below is disappearing because rising value is pushing it up into higher price ranges.” <br /> <br /> To view the entire report, visit http://www.NaplesArea.com<br /> <br /> The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR) is an established organization (Chartered 1949) whose members have a positive and progressive impact on the Naples community.

In March 2007 inventory was at a high of 12,440 this reflects an incredible 39 percent decrease since then.”<br /> <br /> “I believe the first quarter activity of pending sales was one of the best ever,” said Mike Hughes, Vice President and General Manager of Downing-Frye Realty, Inc. It's rare that you have a quarter like this in that category. The fact that the Naples area had 3,664 pending sales in 91 days is tremendous.

But they still want to enjoy a lifestyle that suits their needs, and not just buy a home because it is priced right. Hence, the market can handle more inventory right now for buyers to choose from because demand is still high. So if someone is thinking of selling, now may be a good time to put their home on the market.” <br /> <br /> Wes Kunkle, President of Kunkle Realty stated, “In the commercial market, the retail sector is experiencing increased leasing activity.”<br /> <br /> To view the entire report, visit http://www.NaplesArea.com<br /> <br /> The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR) is an established organization (Chartered 1949) whose members have a positive and progressive impact on the Naples community.

(Mar. 16, 2012) -- Overall pending home sales and closed home sales have increased five percent each in the 12-months ending February 2012 , according to data from the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®) which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island).</b><br /> <br /> The rise in home sales is a positive sign and increased sales lead to less housing inventory in the Naples area. Overall inventory decreased 17 percent, from 9,213 in February 2011 to 7,888 in February 2012.</b><br /> <br /> “Pricing is extremely important right now. The good news carries through for single family and condos, as less days on the market, coupled with the price increases is leading to less inventory,” said Gerald Murphy, Manager of Caldwell Banker.</b><br /> <br /> “One of the biggest gains is a 55 percent increase in pending sales from February 2011 to February 2012 for Naples area homes priced from $500,000 to $1 million,” stated Phil Wood, President & CEO of John R. Wood Realtors. “In February, homes in that price range took off like rockets.”</b><br /> <br /> The overall market experienced 8,349 closed sales for the 12 months ending February 2012, compared to 7,929 closed sales for the 12-month period ending February 2011, according to NABOR® data.</b><br /> <br /> “Price increases in certain categories of the market and falling inventory sets the stage for increased valuation,” remarked Dr. Shelton Weeks, Director of the Lucas Institute for Real Estate Development & Finance at Florida Gulf Coast University.</b><br /> <br /> NABOR® data shows:</b><br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales increased 55 percent in the $500,000 to $ 1 million category February 2011 to February 2012 </b><br /> <br /> • Overall closed sales increased 70 percent in the $2 million plus category February 2011 to February 2012</b><br /> <br /> • Median closed prices overall are up 5 percent from February 2011 to February 2012</b><br /> <br /> • Overall inventory reduced 17 percent from February 2011 to February 2012</b><br /> <br /> • Overall average DOM (Days on the Market) decreased 4 percent from February 2011 to February 2012</b><br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales increased 11 percent in the $300,000 to $500,000 category and 17 percent in the $500,000 to $ 1 million category 12-month ending</b><br /> <br /> • Closed sales increased 13 percent in the $ 1 million to $2 million category 12-month ending</b><br /> <br /> • Naples Beach area pending sales increased 17 percent and closed sales increased 20 percent 12-month ending</b><br /> <br /> “The pace of activity continues to rise as inventory lowers,” agreed Coco Waldenmayer, Managing Broker of Engel & Völkers. “Increased sales generally lead to shorter time on the market.”</b><br /> <br /> Adds Steve Barker of Amerivest Realty: “With the reduction in inventory, properties are selling faster. There is a sense of urgency. Inventory is on the decline in the condo market, from 4,930 listings in February 2011 to 4,250 in February 2012.” </b><br /> <br /> “The fact that 855 homes under $300,000 were pending for February 2012 is very promising,” said Ernesto Velasquez of Coldwell Banker.</b><br /> <br /> “The market is on fire,” said Cindy Carroll, Principal of Carroll & Carroll, Inc. “Short sales and foreclosures are virtually disappearing.”</b><br /> <br /> To view the entire report, visit http://www.NaplesArea.com<br /> <br /> The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR) is an established organization (Chartered 1949) whose members have a positive and progressive impact on the Naples community.

(Feb. 17, 2012) -- Pending home sales of Naples area mid-priced single-family homes and condos (between $300,000 and $ 1 million) surged 29 percent in January 2012, according to a report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®) which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island).<br /> <br /> According to Phil Wood, President & CEO of John R. Wood Realtors, “Pending sales were very strong in January, plus some of the transactions were new development projects.” <br /> <br /> Naples Area Board of REALTORS® data shows that the overall market experienced 8,295 closed sales for the 12 months ending January 2012, a 5 percent increase over the 12-month period ending January 2011 (7,879 closed sales).<br /> <br /> “The number of recent building projects indicates the belief, from many builders, that the market has turned the corner on new home construction,” stated Brett Brown, Director of Sales at Fiddler’s Creek Realty, Inc.<br /> <br /> NABOR® data shows:<br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales in the $300,000 to $500,000 category increased 34 percent from 115 in January 2011 to 154 in January 2012.<br /> <br /> • Closed sales in the $1 million to $2 million category increased 13 percent from 336 to 379 for the 12- month period ending January 2012.<br /> <br /> • Inventory dropped 19 percent from 9,388 in January 2011 and remains at a low level with 7,860 available properties in January 2012. <br /> <br /> • Average days on the market (DOM) in the $500,000 to $1 million category decreased 10 percent from 213 in January 2011 to 192 in January 2012.<br /> <br /> • Overall sales of homes and condos between $1million and $2 million increased 53 percent, January 2012 compared to January 2011.<br /> <br /> “The $500,000 to $1 million category has been historically a leading market indicator, and that category experienced a 23 percent rise in pending sales from 100 in January 2011 to 123 in January 2012, a positive sign,” remarked Dr. Shelton Weeks, Director of the Lucas Institute for Real Estate Development & Finance at Florida Gulf Coast University.<br /> <br /> “A good report from developers, along with positive comments of an overall healthy market, may bring more buyers off the side-lines,” said Mike Hughes, General Manager of Downing-Fry Realty. “The strong activity in pending sales brings a sense of urgency that if they wait too long to make a purchase, the property may not be there.”<br /> <br /> “We are now seeing multiple buyers competing for the same property,” said Brenda Fioretti, NABOR Media Relations Committee Chairman and Managing Broker of Prudential Florida Realty. <br /> <br /> To view the entire report, visit http://www.NaplesArea.com<br /> <br /> The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR) is an established organization (Chartered 1949) whose members have a positive and progressive impact on the Naples community.

Sales have continued to increase which has resulted in the overall available inventory to decline and naturally increase prices in some market categories,” said Kathy Zorn, Broker/Owner of Florida Home Realty.<br /> <br /> Brenda Fioretti, NABOR Media Relations Chairman and Managing Broker of Prudential Florida Realty agrees, “As the winter sales season begins in the Naples area, we currently have 1,564 fewer homes on the market than we did at the same time in 2010.

This is the lowest level of available homes and condos we have seen at the start of a new year since 2007!”<br /> <br /> The available inventory declined 17 percent in 2011 with 7,581 available properties compared to 9,145 available properties in 2010. In the under $300,000 market category, the available inventory declined 21 percent to 3,771 properties in 2011 compared to 4,763 properties in 2010.<br /> <br /> “Overall pending sales and closed sales increased year over year as our inventory continued to decline in 2011. Pending sales increased 8 percent and closed sales increased 5 percent,” said John Steinwand, President of Naples Realty Services.<br /> <br /> Every market category showed sale increases in both pending and closed sales with the largest increase in the $1 million and above categories.<br /> <br /> “Closed sales in the $2 million and above luxury market increased 12 percent with 223 sales in 2011 compared to 199 sales in 2010,” said Bill Poteet, 2012 NABOR President and President of Poteet Properties. “The traditional market has become a large percentage of our total market share (66 percent) as the number of short sale and foreclosure sales diminishes.”<br /> <br /> The 2011 report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condo sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary.

Home prices and sales are level but seem to be trending upward, inventory is declining, the average days on the market are declining, all indicators of the stabilization process,” said Tom Bringardner, President/CEO of Premier Commercial, Inc.<br /> <br /> “The decrease in the percentage of non-traditional sales, foreclosures and short sales, is contributing to the stabilization and is good news for the real estate industry,” said John Steinwand, President of Naples Realty Services.<br /> <br /> In July 2011 the Naples area saw 87 foreclosed sales compared to 250 in July 2009.<br /> <br /> According to Kathy Zorn, Broker/Owner of Florida Home Realty, “There were more closed sales recorded in the first seven months of 2011 (8,110) than there are available in our current inventory (7,010) which sends an encouraging message to consumers that our market is stabilizing.”<br /> <br /> The July report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condo sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary.

According to a report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island), lower inventory is driving price increases and key indicators show the market firming up.<br /> <br /> “February marks the eighth consecutive month that the overall single family home median closed price increased, with the $300,000 and under market leading the way,” said Phil Wood, President of John R. Wood REALTORS®. The median closed price of single-family homes increased 10 percent to $205,000 for the 12 months ending February 2011 up from $186,000 for the 12 months ending February 2010.<br /> <br /> The overall inventory in the Naples area decreased five percent in February 2011 to 9,213 available properties compared to 9,682 in February 2010. “As the available inventory declines, buyers are left with fewer selections so they are now competing for choice properties. This results in the median closed price increasing,” said Steve Barker, REALTOR with Amerivest Realty.<br /> <br /> The report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condo sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary. The statistics are presented in chart format, along with the following analysis:<br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales increased 9 percent with 1,223 contracts in February 2011 compared to 1,122 contracts in February 2010.<br /> <br /> • For the 12 months ending February 2011 overall closed sales in the $1 million to $2 million price category increased 29 percent with 338 sales compared to 262 sales for the 12 months ending in February 2010. <br /> <br /> • Condo closed sales increased 10 percent with 3,885 sales for the 12 months ending February 2011 compared to 3,535 sales for the 12 months ending February 2010.<br /> <br /> “The median closed price for condos declined, which resulted in a 17 percent increase in pending sales. We expect the single-family home trend of increased median closed prices to follow for condos, as condo pending and closed sales continue to rise and inventory declines,” said John Steinwand, President of Naples Realty Services.

Wood REALTORS®, “The strong number of pending sales in January is due to the renewed level of confidence in the economy, which did not exist last year. Property showings are up significantly in February, as potential buyers are ready to get off the fence and make a purchase.”<br /> <br /> Dr. Shelton Weeks, Lucas Professor of Real Estate and Director of the Lucas Institute for Real Estate Development & Finance at Florida Gulf Coast University agrees, “It looks like you are experiencing the wealth effect. Buyers are looking at their portfolios and feel wealthier than last year.

The statistics are presented in chart format, along with the following analysis:<br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales for properties in the $1 million to $2 million price category increased 63 percent with 52 contracts in January 2011 compared to 32 contracts in January 2010.<br /> <br /> • Single-family pending sales increased 40 percent with 536 contracts in January 2011 compared to 383 contracts in January 2010.<br /> <br /> • Condo pending sales increased 32 percent in January 2011 with 565 contracts compared to 427 contracts in January 2010.<br /> <br /> • Excluding the $300,000 and under segment, the overall median price for the market increased 3 percent from $527,000 in January 2010 to $541,000 in January 2011. The median refers to the middle value in a set of statistical values that are arranged in ascending or descending order, in this case prices at which homes were actually sold.<br /> <br /> “The average days a property was on the market decreased 15 percent in January 2011 to 160 days on the market compared to 188 days on the market in January 2010. The majority of those properties are traditional sales which make up 53 percent of the Naples area market,” stated Kathy Zorn, Broker/Owner of Florida Home Realty of Collier County.<br /> <br /> According to Brenda Fioretti, NABOR President, and Managing Broker of Prudential Florida Realty, “The number of short sales in the Naples market is at its lowest point in over 19 months; this indicates a significant market change.”<br /> <br /> To view the entire report, visit http://www.NaplesArea.com<br /> <br /> The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR) is an established organization (Chartered 1949) whose members have a positive and progressive impact on the Naples community.

Wood REALTORS®. The available inventory decreased four percent to 8,800 properties in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 9,209 properties in the third quarter of 2009.<br /> <br /> According to Steve Barker, Managing Broker of Amerivest Realty, “The fact that pending sales decreased in the third quarter but increased 20 percent for the 12 months ending September 2010 indicates that buyers may have brought forward their purchases to get the homebuyer tax credit. This resulted in the number of pending sales decreasing for the quarter.”<br /> <br /> “While overall pending sales decreased slightly this quarter, this is only the second time in five years that we have seen over 2,000 contracts go pending in the third quarter,” stated Mike Hughes, NABOR Media Relations Director, and Vice-President of Downing-Frye Realty.<br /> <br /> The third quarter report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condo sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary. The statistics are presented in chart format, along with the following analysis:<br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales saw a 2 percent decrease, with 2,090 contracts in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 2,129 contracts in the third quarter of 2009. Overall pending sales for the 12 months ending September 2010 increased 20 percent with 9,419 sales compared to 7,881 sales for the 12 months ending September 2009.<br /> <br /> • Single-family overall closed sales decreased 13 percent with 891 sales in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 1,030 sales in the third quarter of 2009. Single-family overall closed sales for the 12 months ending September increased 19 percent with 4,137 sales in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 3,483 sales in the third quarter of 2009.<br /> <br /> • Condo sales showed no change in pending sales in the third quarter of 2010. For the 12 months ending September 2010, overall condo closed sales increased 45 percent to 3,996 sales compared to 2,749 sales for the 12 months ending September 2009.<br /> <br /> The overall median closed price decreased 3 percent in the third quarter of 2010, to $170,000, down $6,000 from the $176,000 registered in the third quarter of 2009. The drop was confined to the $300,000 and under price segment. Excluding properties in that segment, the third quarter 2010 data reveals an across the board jump in each of the other price segments. The end of third quarter 2010 shows an overall price increase of $48,000 for properties closed from $300,000 to 2 million, to $567,000 versus $519,000 one year ago.<br /> <br /> The September report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condo sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary. The statistics are presented in chart format, along with the following analysis:<br /> <br /> • Overall pending sales increased 11 percent to 764 contracts in September 2010 compared to 688 in September 2009.<br /> <br /> • Single-family pending sales increased 5 percent with 426 contracts compared to 407 contracts in September 2009. For the 12 months ending September 2010 single-family closed sales increased 14 percent with 4,084 sales compared to 3,579 sales for the same 12 months last year.<br /> <br /> • Condo pending sales increased 20 percent with 338 contracts in September 2010 compared to 281 contracts in September 2009.<br /> <br /> “I believe trends are better measured by 12 month comparisons. The data as of September 2010 places the overall median closed price at $182,000, up 1 percent from September 2009. Exclusion of the $300,000 and under segment reveals a 2 percent increase over September 2009 to $540,000. These numbers are significant, considering the major problems faced by our marketplace during the past 12 months, said John Steinwand, President of Naples Realty Services.<br /> <br /> To view the report, go to www.NaplesArea.com<br /> <br /> The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR) is an established organization (Chartered 1949) whose members have a positive and progressive impact on the Naples community.
