October Real Estate Review

October Real Estate Review For Naples Florida

The October Real Estate Review shows ongoing heightened demand for properties in Naples, Florida. Pending sales (homes under contract) increased 73 percent over last October and closed sale increased 65 percent during the same time period. Additionally, overall the number of Naples homes for sale declined 34 percent. As a result, the exceptionally low inventory continues to drive home prices up.

Traditionally, buyers begin their property searches in our area in October and November with the intent to buy something during season which is January through Easter. However, due to unusually low inventory and high buyer demand, homes are going to contract quickly. In fact, in the last 7 days, 22 percent of the Naples homes listed were on the market for less than 10 days. And almost 50 percent of the homes sold in the last week were on the market for less than 30 days!

So, if you are in the market to buy a home, if you see a property you are interested in purchasing, be prepared to make an offer quickly and don’t be surprised if there are multiple offers on the property.
