Wonder what happened to the real estate market in Naples Florida during 2012?  Are we at the bottom of the market yet?  Let's take a look at the figures.  Here's the link comparing the annual 2011 real estate statistics to the 2012 annual real estate statistics.

2012 YTD - CONDOMINIMUMS

A "normal" real estate market is said to have 6 months worth of inventory. Condos under the $300K price range and the North Naples and Central Naples are rapidly approaching a "normal" market. The percentage of sales are still being driven by the under $300K market.

2012 YTD - SINGLE FAMILY HOMES

Sold Price Ranges	% of Sales	Months of Inventory
$0 - $300K	60.6%	4.9
$300K - $500K	17.3%	9.5
$500K - $1M	12.4%	13.7
$1M - $2M	5.9%	17.4
$2M+	3.8 %	24.5
Median Sale increase from $210K to $239K

2012 YTD - Single Family Homes

 Legend

Geographic Location	USPS Zip Codes
Naples Beach	34102, 34103, 34108
North Naples	34109, 34110, 34119
Central Naples	34104, 34105, 34116
South Naples	34112, 34113

The single family market is also being driven by sales under 300K; however the remaining inventory in that price range is only 4.8 months!

This season has started off with a bang!  Our inventory has been lessening since the beginning of the year.  Just by looking at these numbers, it appears that we are starting to turn a corner, especially in the North and Central Naples areas.  If you were hoping to find a single family home in Naples under 300K, you can tell from the numbers, you will have a great deal of competition in that price range.

For the first time in years, I have been telling some Sellers that we can get a bit more aggressive on pricing based on the amount of inventory for sale in their area.
