Sales & Inventory Trends
-
Closed Sales: 604 homes closed in August 2025, an 11% increase compared to 544 in August 2024.
-
Inventory: Total active listings reached 4,892, up 9.1% from 4,485 a year earlier. However, inventory trended downward month-to-month throughout the summer before ticking up in August.
-
Pending Sales: Buyer activity remained strong, with pending sales consistently outpacing last year’s levels for the past four months.
These dynamics suggest that while some sellers temporarily removed homes from the market—a recurring summer trend—buyer demand kept pressure on available inventory.
Pricing Overview
-
Overall Median Closed Price: $588,500, down 1.1% from $595,000 in August 2024.
-
Single-Family Homes: Inventory decreased from 3,120 in May to 2,418 in August. Despite lower supply, the median closed price rose from $704,000 to $732,000 during that period.
-
Condominiums: Inventory fell from 3,404 in May to 2,474 in August. The median closed price, however, declined from $450,000 in May to $408,000 in August.
This contrast highlights how reduced inventory affected property types differently, with single-family homes seeing price strength while the condominium market faced more pricing pressure.
Market Perspective
-
Home prices today remain nearly 80% higher than in 2019, underscoring long-term value retention.
-
The so-called “shadow inventory”—homes temporarily withdrawn from the market—is expected to reemerge in the fall and winter season. The impact of these returning listings will depend largely on how they are priced relative to current buyer expectations.
-
Activity in the first half of 2025 lagged compared to recent years, but stronger sales in the summer suggest momentum heading into the traditionally busier fall and winter seasons.
Key Takeaway
The Naples market in August 2025 demonstrated stability, with rising sales, solid long-term price growth, and seasonal inventory adjustments. Single-family homes continue to attract strong buyer demand, while the condominium sector is navigating challenges tied to pricing and property condition. As seasonal listings return, market balance will hinge on how competitively these homes are positioned.
