CLOSED SALES

  • Both the Average and Median sales price for the SWFL area continues to increase. The Median is up 4.2% over 2011, and the Average has increased by 2.5%.
  •  A number of neighborhoods, particularly in the Naples area, are beginning to see appreciation at rates exceeding the overall Median increase.

PENDED SALES

  • For 2012, the YTD pending sales number is almost 12,000 units, and is expected to accelerate this winter season, as housing markets continue to improve nationwide. Homes selling in other areas provide a boost to SWFL, since we have so many feeder markets in the Midwest, Northeast, and Southern states.
