Lee County November Housing Market Update

The November housing market update for Lee County showed there was more than $942 Million in properties closed during the month, up from $407 Million last year. Unlike the prior month, the number of single family home sales year-over-year increased slightly in Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers. However, condos continued with double double-digit declines compared to the same time last year.

Also notable was the percentage of cash transactions during the month which increased slightly to 44 percent of all transactions which was up slightly from 43 percent during October. The good news is the last 3 months have shown similar percentages which are down significantly from July when 65 percent of home sales were cash sales. So what are the implications? For buyers using a mortgage, you have more opportunities to enter into a contract on a property without having to go up against multiple cash offers.

Ultimately, demand continues to remain very strong for Southwest Florida and the nation as a whole. In fact, a recent study by Redfin identified the Top 10 ‘Hot Markets’ for 2022 and eight of those destinations are in Florida. Downtown Fort Myers is on the list as are six cities in Sarasota County. We have specialists who cover Fort Myers as well as Sarasota, so if you’re considering moving to the area, contact us for more information.

Lee County November Housing Update – Single Family Homes

November 2021 versus November 2020 Single Family Home Highlights:

• Closed sales increased 1.7 percent going from 1,364 transactions up to 1,387 sales.
• Pending sales decreased 2.7 percent down from 1,541 last November versus 1,499 this November.
• Inventory fell 38.6 percent down to 1,680 properties for sale compared to this same time last year when 2,737 homes were for sale.
• New listings increased from 1,340 up to 1,378 which was a 2.8 percent increase.
• Median days on market decreased to 13 days which was a 51.9 percent decrease versus November of 2020.
• Available inventory of single family homes ended November with a 1.1 month’s supply of homes available for sale, or a 50 percent decrease.

Condo sales followed similar patterns as the previous couple of months. Once again, the number of sales and inventory saw declines.

Yet, similar to single family homes, there are still opportunities as new listings are added to the market every day.

Naples November Real Estate Recap

The current Naples November real estate recap for the area showed 1,198 properties sold for just under$800 Million! The highest priced property sold for $27,050,000 in Port Royal. And, the luxury market remained strong as evident by the 178 properties sold at or above $1 Million.

Although I can’t predict the future, I continue to review reports from economists and industry experts about the future of real estate. Forbes recently interviewed 50 notable industry leaders to get their take on What the Housing Market Will Look Like in 2022. and the overwhelming consensus is home price growth will slow down from double-digit gains down to single-digits.

Here are the key factors cited which will impact the overall housing market:

• 45 Million Millennials (aged 26 to 35) are at their prime first-time home buying age
• Gradual increase in mortgage rates, yet they remain historically low
• Increases in rental rates makes home buying a better alternative
• Remote workplace flexibility will continue
• New homes can’t keep pace with demand and supply chain issues and labor shortages will continue to drive prices upwards
• Foreign buyers are turning to the U.S. as travel restrictions have eased over the past couple of months
• Investors are reshuffling their portfolios to diversify their assets including investing in more real estate
•  A record $2.5 trillion in excess savings exists according to Moody’s Analytics

Lifestyle changes continue to drive buyers to destination lifestyle markets from beach towns to ski towns. As a result, buyers who’ve been sitting on the side lines are starting to resume their search and in many cases, compromising on home features in order to live in their desired area.

It is important to remember, national trends provide valuable insights into the housing market, however in the end real estate is local in nature. So what is happening in a major metropolitan area in the mid-west or northeast, could be very different than what is happening here in Naples.

Naples Real Estate Trends

Naples continues to be a beneficiary of life changing trends as people are relocating to the area or buying a second, third or fourth home. Lifestyle and amenities are a significant factor when people are deciding where they want to live in Southwest Florida.

And golf communities are at the top of the list for a growing number of couples. And it’s not just about golf, it’s about the social calendar, the additional amenities available such as Pickleball, Tennis, Bocce Ball, Fitness Center, Beach Access and more.

November 2021 versus November 2020 Highlights

• Closed sales decreased 21 percent compared to November of last year.

• Inventory dropped 76 percent down from 5,006 homes to 1,138 homes for sale.
• Average days on market fell 70 percent down to 24 days.

Once again, the limited inventory and high buyer demand drove home prices up during the month. The median price of a single family home in Naples rose 22.4 percent. Similarly, the median price of a condo rose 30.3 percent during November.

Due to local market conditions, if you are buying a home in our area you’ll need to move quickly if a property presents itself. Be prepared to submit an offer within hours not days. To give you a sense of how fast properties are moving, during November 43 percent of homes were under contract within 5 days of being listed.
