November 2023: Naples Market Trends and Commentary

In this month’s newsletter market trend review I have highlighted the entire Naples market above $2M over the last 6 years and separated the trend lines by condominiums and single family homes.

AVERAGE SALES PRICE
6-month rolling average
AVERAGE SALES PRICE

The average sales price for a single family home in Naples over $2M in the last 6 months was $4.1M, down 19.6% from a peak of $5.1M in March of 2022. The average sales price for a condominium over $2M in the last 6 months was $3.5M, down 7.9% from a peak of $3.8M in November of 2021.

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

The average sales price per square foot for a single family home in Naples over $2M in the last 6 months was $1,033/SF, down 19% from a peak of $1,276/SF in February of 2023. The average sales price for a condominium over $2M in the last 6 months was $1,198/SF, down 4% from a peak of $1,251/SF in November of 2022.

MONTHS SUPPLY
MONTHS SUPPLY

This is one of the most important statistics regarding the current state of the real estate market since it combines the pace of sales with the number of properties currently available. The months of supply indicator measures how long it would take for all the properties on the market to be absorbed/sold if sales continued at the current pace and no additional listings came on the market. Generally 6 months of supply is considered to be a balanced market but within Naples luxury market, many consider around 12 months of supply to be a balanced market, below 12 months is a seller’s market and above 12 months is a buyer’s market.

The supply of properties on the market over $2M increased for the 3rd consecutive month to 11.9 months for single family homes and 9.6 months for condominiums. Supply is still considerably lower than the 6-year pre-pandemic peak of 20 months of inventory seen in FEB/MAR 2019.

HOMES FOR SALE
HOMES FOR SALE

At the end of November 2023, there were 610 single family homes on the market in Naples over $2M, up 37.7% from the same month 1 year earlier and only 4 less than the 6-year peak experienced March 2023. At the end of November, there were 235 condos on the market over $2M, exceeding the previous 6-year high of 183 condos on the market in April 2023.

NEW LISTINGS

There were 145 single family homes and 64 condominiums priced over $2M that hit the market for sale in November 2023.

The single family activity was 36% less (20) than November 2022 and the condominium contracts were the same as the same month a year earlier. Looking back to November 2019 for comparison, there were 33 homes and 11 condominiums that went into contract over $2M.

TOTAL SALES
TOTAL SALES

In November 2023, only 23 single family homes in Naples closed over $2M, 51% less than November 2022 when there were 47 sales. Other than May of 2020 which was slow due to the pandemic, this November was the slowest month for single family closings since November 2019 when there were 21 closings over $2M. This November there were 20 condos sold over $2M, 25% (4) more than last November. Interesting to note that November of 2019 there were only 4 condos sold over $2M.

DOLLAR VOLUME OF CLOSED SALES
6-month rolling average
DOLLAR VOLUME OF CLOSED SALES

There were just over $1B in $2M+ single family sales over the 6 months and $367M of $2M+ condominiums sold/closed. The total value of properties sold is slightly lower than the 6 month total from last November with single family sales volume down 8.5% and condominium volume down 4.4%.

AVERAGE DAYS ON MARKET

AVERAGE DAYS ON MARKET

For the 6 month period ending in November, properties that sold over $2M spent an average of 73 to 76 days on the market, a statistic that has been increasing since the low point in August 2022 but is still significantly lower than the averages of 100 to 175 days on the market that were the norm before the pandemic.

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

The average amount of negotiation for single family properties over $2M closed over the last 6 months is 6.3%. The average amount of negotiation for condominiums over $2M closed over the last 6 months is 4.4%. These indicators are getting back to the pre-pandemic “normal” range of negotiation in Naples which was typically 5-7% negotiation from the last asking price.
