Naples Florida Real Estate Inventories Nearly Level

Naples Florida real estate inventories are at 13 month supply.  This is the lowest it's been in quite awhile suggesting if you've been waiting to purchase Naples Florida real estate, now might be the time to do it before:
  1. All the best deals are sold
  2. Sellers start increasing pricing
  3. Product no longer exists in the areas you find most attractive
If you're looking under $500,000...you're not alone.  Be prepared to act fast, offer smart  and be diligent.

Naples Florida Real Estate Trends

Here are the latest Naples Florida real estate trends occurring. 

Inventory requests - There are some areas where inventory is scarce or nonexistent.  During the last few years inventories had been on the rise and there was plenty out there to choose from in nearly every location.  Over the last couple of days there has been several instances where agents have sent company wide emails asking for pocket listings in various locations because there wasn't product readily available.  This is a new Naples Florida trend and some Naples Florida property owners who have been sitting on the sidelines to wait for a better market might find now a good time to jump in.  The law of supply and demand are in your favor when inventories are low as a seller so if you are located in an area where there is limited inventory, call me and let's work on getting your property sold.  If you don't know what your neighborhood is doing right now, give me a call.  I'd be happy to fill you in.

Not All The Best Deals Have Sold But... -  After doing several searches for my current customer base, I'm finding several locations where the best deal out there was something that's already under contract or recently sold. This Naples real estate trend could suggest property prices are on a slight rise especially if current sellers are not going to sell for considerably less than current list price in some circumstances.   More importantly is the fact that buyer behavior has shifted where a year ago buyers expected to be the one to purchase the lowest priced/best valued property.  My experience is buyers are still being cautious and diligent but being the biggest winner isn't a requirement to get the deal done. 

Buyers take note! If you are looking for the thrill of a kill, your window of opportunity could be closing with shrinking inventories.
