August numbers for Naples FL real estate confirmed what we already knew - that pended sales were definitely impacted by the oil spill news. The good news is that even though there were fewer sales this August than in 2009, it was still the second highest number of sales for the month in the ten years for which we have data.
Total inventory in the combined Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero market is at its lowest level in four years. Available supply of units is down 29% from its 2007 high. Although the number of new listings being placed in inventory during the month was up slightly from the prior year, listings taken year-to-date remain behind last year.
Activity through the first 13 days of September has increased, and written sales are well ahead of the same period for September 2009 at this point.
John R. Wood Realtors remains Number One in Closed Volume in the market! Congratulations to a great sales team and support staff!
