Naples Real Estate

The June housing sales figures are in and the news continues to get better. For the fifth month in a row, home sales, as reported by the Naples Area Board of Realtors (NABOR), have risen, and there appears to be no reason why this trend should not continue. The figures reported are for Collier County, excluding Marco Island, and show not only increased closed sales, but a rise in the number of pending sales, as well as a decrease in available inventory. It is becoming more clear with each passing day that buyers are aware of the outstanding values in todays existing market, and are ready to take advantage of this outstanding opportunity.

It is now July, summer is upon us, the snowbirds have flown to their more northern residences, and the weather is still glorious. This fact has not been lost by the rest of the world, as Southwest Florida continues to attract thousands of new visitors. While some are here only for a short vacation, many have come for much longer durations. It could be for a long winter get-away, retirement, or a permanent relocation, people continue to realize that this area truly is paradise. The economic woes may still be here, but they are so much easier to take when it is warm and sunny, and the Gulf of Mexico and its sandy beaches are so convenient. All of this is what will keep Southwest Florida on the most desirable places to live lists for years to come.
