NAPLES FLORIDA REAL ESTATE NEWSLETTER
Southwest Florida Real Estate Newsletter – April 2025
Season is winding down, and as expected, buyers are taking their time making decisions after spending the past few months exploring options. I’ve been fortunate to stay busy showing properties, guiding clients through purchases, and helping sellers position their homes for success.
One of the big local highlights this month—Naples was ranked #2 in USA Today’s list of Best Small Town Food Scenes! It’s no surprise to those of us who live here, but it’s always great to see our vibrant culinary scene getting national recognition. From locally loved seafood spots to refined fine dining, Naples continues to shine as one of the top dining destinations in the country.
Adding to the excitement, a Gulf front estate in Naples just sold for $225 million, ranking among the highest-priced home sales in U.S. history. This sale (read more here) underscores the incredible strength of Naples’ luxury real estate market.
I also want to share a new blog post we put together, Naples Private Beach Clubs, covering a topic I get asked about frequently. Many luxury buyers in Naples want access to exclusive beachfront amenities, so I’ve created a detailed guide to the top private beach clubs, what they offer, and how homeownership can provide access.
On a related note, if you’re exploring the idea of owning beachfront property, my new page Gulf Front Homes & Condos in Naples, FL features a curated overview of Naples’ most sought-after beachfront communities. Whether you’re interested in a luxury high-rise or a private estate, this guide highlights the best options for gulf front living.
Be sure to check out the latest Naples real estate market reports and news below. As always, if you have any questions or need guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to help!
