National Association of Realtors® Settlement (“NAR Settlement”)

As part of the proposed NAR Settlement of certain class action lawsuits, NAR agreed to make changes to real estate business practices that preserve choices consumers have regarding real estate services, and which provide greater transparency relating to broker compensation for those services.

Key changes include:

  1. Offers of compensation to Buyer’s Brokers are prohibited from being displayed in the Multiple Listing Service (“MLS”), as of August 2024, all offers of compensation for current and future listings will no longer be displayed in the MLS.
  2. As of August 17, 2024, all Buyer’s Brokers working with a Buyer must enter into a written agreement that specifies the amount of compensation paid to a Buyer’s Broker before the Buyer tours any home.
    • These changes do not restrict Sellers from making an offer of compensation to a Buyer’s Broker.
    • Sellers and Listing Brokers may offer compensation to Buyer’s Brokers, but such offers must not be displayed or referenced in the MLS.
    • You do not need a written agreement if you are just speaking to a Listing Associate at their open house, or asking an Associate about the brokerage services offered, such as during a Buyer consultation.

These changes affect all real estate brokerages in the U.S. that are MLS participants. As has always been the case, Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable. For additional information on the NAR Settlement please visit Facts.Realtor

July 2024: Naples Market Trends and Commentary

In this month’s Naples real estate market trend review, I focused on properties over $2M, which represents the top 10% of the market, over the last 5.5 years.

To scan previous months’ newsletters and monthly market commentary, head to website > RESOURCES > Newsletters.

AVERAGE SALES PRICE
6-month rolling average
AVERAGE SALES PRICE

The average sales price for a single-family home over $2M in Naples was $4,884,609 over the last 6 months, up 9.1% compared to the same period a year ago. The average sales price for condominiums over $2M in Naples was $3,682,367 over the last 6 months, up 5.2% compared to the same period a year ago.

AVERAGE PRICE PER SQFT
6-month rolling average
AVERAGE PRICE PER SQFT

The average sales price-per-square-foot for a single family home over $2M in Naples was $1,172 over the last 6 months, up 1.6% compared to the same period a year ago and up 80% from the same 6 month period in 2019. The average sales price-per-square-foot for a condominium over $2M in Naples was $1,256 over the last 6 months, up 4.7% compared to the same period a year ago and up 53% from the same 6 month period in 2019.

MONTHS SUPPLY
12-month rolling average
MONTHS SUPPLY

This is one of the most revealing statistics regarding the current supply/demand balance of the real estate market activity since it combines the pace of sales with the number of properties currently available. 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 considered to be a balanced market but within Naples luxury market, 12 to 18 months is a more typical level of supply.

The supply of single-family homes in Naples over $2M in July was 14.9 months, up 44.7% from July 2023 and 18% below July 2019. The supply of condominiums in Naples over $2M in July was 13.8 months, up 106% from July 2023 and 14% below July 2019.

HOMES FOR SALE
HOMES FOR SALE

As of July 1st 2024, there were 729 single family homes for sale over $2M in Naples, up 30.9% from July 1st 2023 and up 45% from July 2019. As of July 1st 2024, there were 333 condominiums for sale over $2M in Naples, up 95.9% from July 1st 2023 and up 110.8% from July 2019.

NEW LISTINGS
6-months rolling total

The number of new Naples condominium listings over $2M that came on the market in the last 6 months was 330 condos, up 14.6% compared to the same period last year.

6-months rolling total
PENDING SALES

The number of pending Naples single family home sales over $2M in the last 6 months was 378 homes, down 6.0% compared to the same period last year. The number of pending Naples condominium sales over $2M in the last 6 months was 191 condos, up 15.1% compared to the same period last year.

TOTAL SALES

The number of single-family home closed sales over $2M in the last 6 months was 361, flat from the same period 1 year ago and the number of condominiums sold over $2M was 180, down 3.2% compared to the same period last year.

DOLLAR VOLUME OF CLOSED SALES
12-month rolling total
DOLLAR VOLUME OF CLOSED SALES

The total dollar volume of single-family home sales over $2M in the last 12 months was $2.7B, down by 5.3% compared to the previous 12 month period and up from $1.4B over the same period in 2019. The total dollar volume of condominium sales over $2M in the last 12 months was $1.0B, up by 4.5% compared to the previous 12 month period up from $450M over the same period in 2019. It’s interesting to note that the sales of condominiums over $2M have been very steady since mid-2021, coming down 12.9% but the total sales volume of single-family homes has come down 32% since mid-2021

AVERAGE DAYS ON MARKET
6-month rolling average
AVERAGE DAYS ON MARKET

Single family homes in Naples that sold over $2M in the last 6 months spent 94 days on the market on average and condominiums spent 93 days on the market. Properties spent more time on the market compared to a year ago but still quite a bit less than the 100 to 175 days on the market that was typical prior to the pandemic.

AVERAGE PERCENT OF LAST SALES PRICE
6-month rolling average
AVERAGE PERCENT OF LAST SALES PRICE

Single family homes in Naples that sold over $2M in the last 6 months sold for 6.3% below their last asking price and condominiums sold for 5.1% below their last asking price. This level of negotiation is very similar to 1 year ago and also similar to the same 6 month period in 2019 prior to the pandemic.
