If you’re looking to cool off this summer, I recently put together a guide to the Top Ice Cream Shops in Naples perfect for discovering local favorites, from artisan gelato to old-fashioned scoops. Check it out here.
For those getting serious about finding a home, I also want to highlight our updated Naples Zip Code page.

It’s a great tool to focus your home search quickly and easily.

The list also highlights locally owned parlors that bring authentic charm and handcrafted quality to every scoop.

This is one of the most informative metrics 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 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.
