NAPLES FLORIDA REAL ESTATE NEWSLETTER

Southwest Florida Real Estate Newsletter – October 2025

The fall season is off to a strong start in the Naples real estate market. Buyer activity remains consistent across the luxury segment, and recent reports confirm renewed momentum in overall home sales. According to Gulfshore Business Report, Naples-area transactions and pending contracts have climbed steadily as we move into the fourth quarter, signaling growing confidence among both buyers and sellers.

My current clients are using these conditions to their advantage—positioning their homes strategically. The market remains highly localized, and properly priced, well-presented properties continue to attract attention from buyers interested in securing a property in southwest Florida before the winter weather arrives up North.

Construction continues to reshape the Naples landscape, with several high-profile projects progressing across the city.

• JW Marriott Hotel – Palm Street: The downtown waterfront site north of Royal Harbor on Tamiami Trail East is under construction. Once complete, this JW Marriott will elevate downtown Naples’ hospitality sector and attract a new wave of luxury travelers.
• Waterside Shops Expansion – RH (Restoration Hardware), Williams Sonoma/Pottery Barn, and Eddie V’s Prime Seafood are all in active construction phases. These additions reinforce Waterside’s position as one of Southwest Florida’s premier retail and dining destinations.
• Oakes Farms Redevelopment – Davis Boulevard: Proposed plans call for a two-story grocery store roughly three times the size of the original, along with a 239-room hotel, 186 residential units, restaurants, a wellness center, retail, and structured parking. This mixed-use development will transform East Naples into a new residential and commercial hub.

In recent weeks, three penthouses at 3300 Gulf Shore Blvd sold for more than $40 million combined, establishing a benchmark for high-end condominium sales in 2025. These transactions underscore sustained demand for coastal properties and new construction inventory throughout Naples.

Looking ahead, the Naples Beach Club Four Seasons Resort is scheduled to open in mid-November 2025. This landmark project will further strengthen Naples’ global profile as a top luxury destination. I expect the opening to positively influence nearby property values and rental demand in adjacent neighborhoods.

Outside of the core Naples market, the Estero Recreation Center is undergoing improvements that include new pickleball courts and golf amenities, aligning with the continued expansion of Southwest Florida’s active lifestyle communities.

The Naples Airport has also implemented FAA-approved flight path adjustments designed to reduce residential noise impact while improving operational efficiency—an important update for homeowners in several central neighborhoods.

MONTHS SUPPLY

The months of supply metric tells us how long it would take for all the properties on the market to be sold if sales continued at the current pace and no additional listings came on the market. Nationwide 6 months of supply is often considered to be a balanced market but within Naples luxury market, the typical level of supply escalates up to 30+ months as the price point increases.
