Demand for homes in Collier County kept REALTORS® busy in August,
even as inventory dropped 77.3 percent to 1,249 homes from 5,503 homes
in August 2020. According to the August 2021 Market Report released by
the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home
listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island),
REALTOR®s escorted buyers on over 30,000 home showings in August!
The month’s strong showing activity – coupled with a 76.8 percent
decrease in days on market to 22 days – means most homes were listed,
shown, and sold in less than 30 days.
The buying frenzy the Naples housing market experienced during the past year has simmered and is being replaced with what brokers say will be our new normal: a low inventory market with fast turnover of quality homes priced right. According to the July 2021 Market Report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island), inventory decreased 77.2 percent to 1,295 homes in July 2021 compared to 5,672 homes in July 2020, but demand continues to be steady as there were only 30 fewer closed sales and just a 2 percent drop in showings.
With less than a one-month supply of inventory available, the Naples area
housing market experienced a 14.5 percent decrease in overall pending sales in
June to 1,256 pending sales from 1,469 pending sales in June 2020. Low
inventory levels in June also contributed to a 7 percent decrease in showings for
the month. This simmering of activity has broker analysts who reviewed the
June 2021 Market Report released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS®
(NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County
(excluding Marco Island), certain that the wild housing market frenzy that began
about a year ago – peaking in March – is now decelerating and being replaced
with a new level of activity that reflects improved market equity for sellers and sustained buyer interest from people seeking permanent residency.
Overall inventory decreased 78.8 percent to 1,271 homes in June from 6,003
homes in June 2020, and the median closed price in June increased 30.3 percent
to $465,000 from $357,000 in June 2020. Read the full report…
