3rd Quarter Stats

Naples Real Estate 3rd Quarter Statistics

Total closed residential sales in Naples were up 38% in the 3rd quarter of 2009 as compared to July 1st - September 30th, 2008. Closed sales in 2008 3rd quarter totalled 1,148 vs. 1,588 total residential closings this year in the 3rd quarter. Under $300,000 again showed the highest increase: 3rd quarter 2008 saw 657 closings in this price range vs. 1,103 total closings of residential listings priced at or below $300,000 for the 3rd quarter of 2009. Some of this can be attributed to a greater inventory in this price range: price reductions (listings that were originally priced above $300,000) and an increase in new listings in this price point. Downward pressure continues in this price range due to the number of sales vs. the number of listings: consider supply and absorption rate.
