In the early days of 2013 Naples, Florida real estate it seems the forces of supply and demand are fighting it out to a standstill. Inventory, now at 7.5 months climbed a bit as more sellers are entering the market against even demand. New properties for sale stand at 5,646 in the all Naples area in the Sunshine MLS with 9,086 properties closed in the last twelve months.
We all liked the double digit price gains of 2012 and all are hoping for more to follow – but keep your eye on supply. What we do not need is a bunch of sellers entering the market after patiently waiting out the last few years. But … good for them and their patience.
Another action to watch – large scale home development. A few big projects are breaking ground with well thought out product for the current market. Look for more communities with walking trails and outdoor fitness and less golf and homes more in the mid size range. Lely was one of the few large scale operations that weathered the last few years pretty well – look to them as an early model for new developer plans.
Look for more variation across neighborhoods. In one gated community alone we see a healthy market but on one street in particular a number of homes for sale and stuck on the market for a long time. Over priced? Probably. Need to be in better condition? Most are Ok. Marketing Ok? Yep. Location Ok? Yep. Must be price primarily.
Remember to work with a good local Realtor to really understand your local market and the markets within markets in your area.
