The local Naples market has shown great improvement these past two years with inventories returning to more manageable levels. A look at the Sunshine MLS this morning for the All Naples Area shows an inventory of 7.16 months for all property types with 8,649 properties sold in the last twelve months and 5,161 for sale this morning.
The real news around here is the single family home market. Inventories in this sub-segment are 5.99 months – finally below six months and at a level many real estate professionals would consider at equilibrium (a theoretical state where buyers and sellers have equal power). Wow is this great news and a long time coming.
On the street you get the feeling of tighter single family supply. Buyers are surprised at the lack of selection and/or the speed at which well priced properties move compared to other markets. Spec home building and large developers are back in business reacting to lower supply. Pulte homes reported strong earnings last week. It sure feels like the single family home market is back.
Our thoughts go out this morning to all of our east coast clients and friends up north. Good luck these next few days and hang in there.
