There is much talk about foreclosure increases and banks “dumping” properties on the market. The Naples real estate markets seem to be keeping up with this just fine, in fact the overall supply of properties is the best we have seen in years. Both single family residences and condo supply are at levels this morning historically capable of supporting prices – in fact prices are increasing.
Let’s take a look at the facts. Information Inc. and RealtyTrac reported “some housing markets are still battling high numbers of foreclosures that continue to put downward pressure on overall housing prices … the following cities saw the biggest increases in foreclosures – 30 percent or more – between the second and third quarters of 2011: Albuquerque, N.M.,, Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.,Sarasota-Bradenton-Venice, Fla.Cincinnati-Middleton, Ohio-Ky.-Ind.Jacksonville, Fla.and Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, Fla.”
Naples, Fl real estate sees it share of foreclosures and short sales but so far the overall supply in the market is staying rather low – good for prices. For examples, single family homes for sale this morning are 2,616 and over the last year 3,835 single family homes were sold – so our supply is now at 8.2 months. Condos see similar levels this morning with 3,725 for sale and 4,309 were sold in the last 12 months or 10.4 months of inventory.
The great news is the Naples market is seeing reduced supply which should support prices. The last two months NABOR data did show rising trailing 12 month increases. In a week or so we should see data released for last months results. So far so good – in fact very good.
