As abodes keep piling up in the Naples area multiple listing service known as the MLS, going old school may not be the best play entering the typically busier snowbird swarm.
Old school as in yanking listings that don’t sell by the start of summer and bringing them back for the bustling winter season.
“There have been 1,861 units withdrawn from the MLS in the past 120 days,” said Adam Vellano, a Compass Florida managing director, as summer and its 90-degree heat was stretching into the start of October. “This is a common trend annually as some sellers pull down their listings because they don’t think they’ll get the highest price during off season months. Unfortunately, if inventory begins to rise in the coming months in anticipation of our winter season visitors, the added competition will likely put pressure on sellers to lower their initial list prices or entertain below list offers.”

A Port Royal estate has sold for more than $29 million, making it the second-highest sale in the ritzy neighborhood this year.
The waterfront estate – at 3401 Rum Row – changed hands for $29,070,000.
The deal closed Nov. 15.
The property, which sits on a 0.62-acre plot, along Galleon Cove, was listed for $34.5 million.
It went pending earlier this year, but that contract fell through after a separate, but related transaction fizzled out, and with it the financing source for the other deal, said C. Lodge McKee II, a global real estate adviser with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty in Naples.
“It wasn’t because of the financial discomfort of anybody,” he said.
He represented the successful buyer of the glitzy estate, spanning 8,232 square feet, with five bedrooms, and nine bathrooms. Described as a “rare offering,” the two-story residence was built in 2021.

A second luxury mixed-use tower will soon rise at Metropolitan Naples.
Construction will start on the tower, known as Aura, next week.
It will be built at the corner of Davis Boulevard and U.S. 41, next to Ascent, in East Naples.
While Ascent is a luxury apartment community, with studios to penthouses, Aura is offering high-end condos for purchase, from $2 million to more than $7 million, in various sizes.
With Suffolk as the general contractor, the second tower is anticipated to be completed in 22 months, or a little less than two years.
Metropolitan Naples has been years in the making. At completion, it will have three 15-story buildings on a roughly five-acre site, transforming a high-profile corner, on the doorstep of downtown Naples.

Catching up on my accumulating Village of Estero correspondence: Estero is exploding with endeavors so today let’s hit a sampling of what you’re asking about. Roll out Numero Uno please:
“Thank you for your insightful and helpful articles,” said reader Brenan Riehl. “Do you know what the development timing is for the planned Woodfield Development commercial and residential project on Coconut Road across 41 from Coconut Point in Estero? When will construction commence?”
What’s the first phase of the massive project across from Coconut Point?
When we first broke the details of this U.S. 41 massive undertaking a couple of years ago, the goal had been for about now, and it appears to be pretty close to target, depending on the necessary red tape to protect the interests of all involved: The Village. The Village people. And the Village developer.
