What it changes

Two numbers in this report point in opposite directions and both are true. Sales volume is up sharply and inventory is down almost a quarter, which is the classic setup for prices to rise. Yet the median price for the year so far is slightly lower than last year, and the condominium median fell outright. The reconciliation is in the mix. What is selling has shifted toward the top of the market, where 61 properties above $10 million have traded since January, and toward the bottom of the condominium market, where Cindy Carroll of Carroll and Carroll Appraisers notes that sales under $300,000 are up 44.8 percent since January as sellers cut prices to clear the total cost of ownership problem created by fees, insurance and assessments. A buyer should read the segment, not the headline. For a South Naples condominium owner the median in your zip codes is down 16.7 percent year over year, to $350,000, and no amount of countywide momentum changes that. For a North Naples single-family seller the median is up 10.8 percent to $1,030,000. The inventory fall matters most to anyone who has been waiting for the buyer's market of 2025 to widen: months of supply went from 9.7 to 6.3 in a year, and new listings have run 11.4 percent below last year since January, so the choice is narrowing while the negotiating position holds at roughly 94.5 percent of the most recent asking price. One caution on scope. This report excludes Marco Island entirely, so an island owner reading these figures is reading somebody else's market.

The Naples area recorded 881 closed home sales in June, an increase of 16.5 percent over the 756 sales of June 2025, according to the June 2026 Market Report published by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS on July 24. Pending sales rose 14.9 percent to 855.

The report covers Collier County excluding Marco Island, using listings and sales recorded through the Southwest Florida MLS.

Price and volume moved apart. The median closed price for June was $595,000, up 3.8 percent from $573,450 a year earlier. Measured across the year to date, the median closed price is $610,000, which is 0.8 percent below the $615,000 of the same period in 2025. Year-to-date closed sales reached 5,229, up 17.9 percent, and year-to-date pending sales are up 28.5 percent.

Inventory is the tightest part of the report. Active listings fell 23.4 percent to 4,741 homes from 6,189 in June 2025, and months of supply fell 35.1 percent to 6.3 months from 9.7. New listings for the month fell 9.6 percent to 830 from 918, and the report notes new listings are down 11.4 percent since January against the same period last year. Mike Hughes of Downing-Frye Realty, quoted in the release, contrasted that with other Florida markets, saying inventory in Orlando is up 41 percent and Lakeland up 69 percent against pre-pandemic levels.

The two halves of the market behaved differently. Single-family closed sales rose 7.8 percent to 457, the single-family median rose 7.1 percent to $750,000 from $700,000, and single-family inventory fell 23.6 percent to 2,271. Condominium closed sales rose 27.7 percent to 424, but the condominium median fell 1.7 percent to $442,500 from $450,225, with condominium inventory down 23.2 percent to 2,470.

Within that, the geography matters more than the county figure. In North Naples, covering the 34109, 34110 and 34119 zip codes, single-family sales rose 22.8 percent and the median rose 10.8 percent to $1,030,000 from $930,000. In South Naples, covering 34112 and 34113, the condominium median fell 16.7 percent to $350,000 from $420,000, the largest decline the report records for any area.

At the top of the market, Ryan Bleggi of William Raveis Real Estate is quoted saying there have been "61 sales of properties listed above $10 million since January, 14 of which were over $20 million."

Sellers held their pricing. Homes sold for an average of 94.5 percent of their most recent list price, 0.4 percent higher than a year ago, while average days on market rose to 103 from 98.

The release also pushes back on recent coverage of foreclosures in Southwest Florida, stating that its data show 22 foreclosures and 38 short sales in Naples since January, which it describes as less than 1 percent of the 6,253 homes sold in that period. Two things are worth stating plainly about that passage. The release does not identify the reports it is answering, and it does not say whether those reports measured foreclosure filings rather than completed distressed sales, which are different things and are not comparable without knowing which was counted. The 6,253 figure also does not match the 5,229 year-to-date closed sales the same document reports, and the release does not explain the difference. Against the smaller of the two figures, the 60 distressed sales work out to 1.1 percent rather than under 1 percent.

The full report, the statistics tables and the infographic are published on the board's website. The July report is scheduled for release on August 21.
