Where has the Naples Real Estate Blogger been?
It’s been a busy couple of weeks at NaplesRealEstate.com. Chip and I have been showing homes to prospective Neapolitans almost everyday for the past 2 weeks. ‘Season’ might technically be over, but buyers looking for real values are coming back to town now that the crowds are gone to look hard at those listings that are still available…And the best buys are going quickly! Regardless of the price range, we are seeing the ‘bottom’ inventory across the board being bought up by shrewd investors, smart second home buyers, international visitors, and first time home owners alike.
Here are some interesting, recent Naples Statistics:
Current Naples inventory is at 6,341 active homes & condos for sale per our local MLS data. That is approximately a 10% decrease in inventory over the same time last year. Single family homes make up 2,576 of those listings. Of the homes presently listed, 15.9% are short sales and less than 2% are foreclosures. 26% of today’s homes for sale in Naples are Previews Properties [those homes listed at or above $1 million dollars]. 30% are listed at or below $300,000. Of those homes listed under $300,000 over 35% are categorized as short sales! Total closed residential sales in Naples year-to-date comprised of 16.5% short sale properties.
Currently there are 67 single family homes for sale in Old Naples. Only 1 is listed as a short sale in the MLS, and only 1 is listed as a bank foreclosure. There have been 36 single family home closings in Old Naples year-to-date. 75% of the single family homes which have sold since January 1st, 2011 were listed at or above $1 million!
