Naples, Florida — August 22, 2025 – The latest NABOR® Market Report for July 2025 shows that the Naples housing market continues to stand strong, powered by relentless buyer demand and strong equity return, even amid modest listing price adjustments.
1. A Surge in Pending and Closed Sales
Pending sales in July rose by 19.9%, from 673 to 807 year-over-year, signaling growing buyer activity. Closed sales also edged up 2%, with 624 final transactions compared to 612 in July 2024
2. Price Stability with Healthy Equity
While medians softened slightly, the market’s long-term performance remains impressive:
-
Overall median closed price dipped 2.5%, from $590,000 to $575,000.
-
Single‑family homes dropped 6%, to $670,000.
-
Condominiums decreased 10.1%, to $422,500 
Yet, compared to July 2019, these prices still reflect significant equity—condos up from $240,000, single-family homes from $409,500 
3. Inventory and Market Dynamics
Though inventory remains elevated, signs point to normalization:
-
Active listings grew 11.4%, from 4,691 to 5,224.
-
However, inventory peaked in March (7,483 listings) and has been tapering since 
-
New listings declined 7.2%, totaling 804 vs. 866 year-over-year 
4. Buyer Confidence and Financing Trends
Buyers remain optimistic, buoyed by a high percentage of cash buyers (48%), shielding the market from interest rate fluctuations . Financing buyers feel assured—they can secure current rates now and refinance later if rates fall 
5. Submarket Strength and Geographic Highlights
Growth in diverse Naples neighborhoods—beyond traditional areas west of U.S. 41—has bolstered stability. Closed sales of single-family homes in the Naples Beach area (34102, 34103, 34108) soared by 81.8%, helping to reduce that region’s months-supply of inventory from 14.9 to 12.3 
6. Day-on-Market Trends
Homes are taking longer to sell—average days on market jumped 25.9%, rising from 81 to 102 days. Still, with inventory supply declining, multiple factors indicate a resilient and balanced market
