DOWNING-FRYE: ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR

“2025 was an interesting year for the local real estate market,” said Mike Hughes, General Manager for Downing-Frye Realty, Inc. “In 2024, Downing-Frye agents participated in 1,653 closed transactional sides. In 2025, Downing-Frye agents participated in 1,652 closed transactional sides! We were within one closing of duplicating our success from the previous year.

However, there is a story here. In the first half of the year our closings were down largely due to the tariff concerns. In the second half of 2025, we largely wiped out the first half deficit. This was helped by the lack of tropical (hurricane) activity in 2025. With no hurricanes to be concerned with, the summer and fall sales were elevated compared to the previous year.

We closed 2025 with 181 closings in the month of December. This was a 62% increase over the previous December. Hopefully this momentum continues into the 2026 year. We enter 2026 with a great supply of listing inventory and our agents are excited to see what the new year brings!”

BONITA / ESTERO: NOVEMBER MOMENTUM

The Bonita Springs-Estero Realtors reported that November 2025 showed firm buyer momentum amid expanding choice. Single-family new listings totaled 2,821 (–14.5%) with pending sales up to 2,050 (+34.9%); the median price settled at $415,000 (–4.1%) with 62 median days to contract and 95.7% of list received. Condos posted 1,728 new listings (–13.5%) and 1,082 pendings (+37.8%); the median price measured $340,000 (–6.9%) with 65 days to contract and 94.3% of list received. Supply remains ample: 8.5-months’ supply for single-family homes and 13.6-months’ supply for condos.

NAPLES AREA: SALES SPARKED BY PRICE DECREASES

The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®) reported November 2025 figures as compared with November 2024: Total closed sales were up by 9.8% and pending sales were up by 16.9%. New listings were down by 14.2%, but total active listings were up by 1.6%. Single-family listings totaled 2,649 and condominium listings totaled 3,108. Single- family closed sales were up by 5.7% and had a median closed sales price of $680,000, down 8.1%. Condominium closed sales were up by 14.6% and had a median closed sales price of $420,000, up 1.2% from November 2024. The overall median closed price in November decreased 4.9% to $546,950 from $576,000 in November 2024.

MARCO ISLAND AREA: SALES UP 61%

The Marco Island Area Assoc. of Realtors® reported November 2025 figures as compared to November 2024: Inventory was up 34%; the number of properties sold was up by 61%; the average days on market was 187 days, down by 4%; and the dollar volume sold was $64M, up 24% from the year before. In November, the median sale price for homes was $1.3M, for condos was $609K and for lots was $1.9M.

FLORIDA: PENT-UP DEMAND

Florida’s median sale price for single-family homes was down in November 2025 compared to a year ago, but it only fell by two tenths of 1%, to $410,000. The median sale price for condo and townhouse sales declined year-over-year by 3.8% to just under $300,000. Closings were positive for both property type categories. Closed sales of single-family homes were up by nearly 3% compared to a year ago, while closed sales of condos and townhouses were up by just over 1%. Year-over-year, single-family inventory was only up by a little over 3%, and the condo and townhouse inventory was the smallest year-over-year inventory increase since June of 2022, at 6%, a far cry from last November when condo and townhouse inventory was up over 46% year-over-year.

USA: PENDING SALES INCREASE

Pending home sales in November jumped by 3.3% from the prior month and 2.6% year-over-year. “Homebuyer momentum is building. The data shows the strongest performance of the year after accounting for seasonal factors, and the best performance in nearly three years, dating back to February 2023,” said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. “Improving housing affordability–driven by lower mortgage rates and wage growth rising faster than home prices–is helping buyers test the market. More inventory choices compared to last year are also attracting more buyers to the market.”

The median closed price in November decreased 4.9 percent to $546,950 from $575,000 in November 2024. The median close price has declined slightly in seven of the previous eight months compared to the same months in 2024. Broker analysts reviewing the November 2025 Market Report by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island), were not surprised to see just over 1,000 price decreases during November. While minor, the price decreases indicate a growing shift away from aspirational pricing by sellers as they adapt to a new market environment where increased competition and smart pricing results in improved sales for the Naples real estate market.

A Good Year

“It looks like we had a good year for real estate,” said Mike Hughes, Vice President and General Manager for Downing-Frye Realty, Inc. “The first part of the year started out slow, mainly due to people watching how the tariff situation would unfold. But we were fortunate in the second half because we avoided hurricane activity, so sales improved dramatically and this made up for the slow sales activity during the first half of the year.”

Overall closed sales in November increased 9.8 percent to 502 closed sales from 457 closed sales in November 2024. Broken down by home type, closed sales in the condominium market increased 14.6 percent to 243 closed sales from 212 closed sales in November 2024; while closed sales in the single- family market increased 5.7 percent to 259 closed sales from 245 closed sales in November 2024.

“With seven straight months of pending sales and six straight months of closed sales above the same periods last year, the market is demonstrating very positive momentum moving into season,” said Budge Huskey, CEO, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. “And with inventory returning to pre-pandemic levels offering buyers ample choice, the foundation is in place for an even better 2026.”

Overall inventory in November increased 1.6 percent to 5,757 properties from 5,666 properties in November 2024. Interestingly, inventory in the single-family home market decreased 5.5 percent to 2,649 single-family homes from 2,804 single-family homes in November 2024. Conversely, inventory of condominiums in Naples increased 8.6 percent to 3,108 condominiums from 2,862 condominiums in November 2024.

Keeping the Pace

“I’m concerned with sellers who pulled their homes off the market before summer,” said Cindy Carroll of Carroll & Carroll Appraisers & Consultants, LLC. “If they intend to relist again before season, I hope they elect to list them at a lower price point then they were previously.”

According to Ryan Bleggi, 2022 NABOR® President and Managing Broker for John R. Wood Properties, “Many more sellers are getting serious about selling their home without languishing on the market and facing increased competition in January and February. They are open to positioning their home properly in the market, which may entail a significant price adjustment, an improvement in condition, or both.”

The median closed price in November for single-family homes decreased 8.1 percent to $680,000 from $740,000 in November 2024. However, the median closed price of condominiums in November increased 1.2 percent to $420,000 from $415,000 in November 2024.

NABOR® sales statistics are presented in chart format, including these overall (single-family and condominium) findings for 2025:

Looking Back to Look Ahead

“In the first quarter of the year, I would ask people at open houses why they were hesitant to buy a home,” said Christine Citrano, NABOR® President and agent for John R. Wood Properties. “They would respond that either fear of hurricanes or high insurance costs were holding them back. However, today the weight of these reasons is lighter because Southwest Florida was spared a direct hit from a hurricane and more insurers have entered the market in 2025.

Carroll remarked that our area “hit the highest median closed price on record this past February [$666,250].” Since then, the median closed price has decreased each month and, in November, was $546,950.

According to Mike Bone, Director of Sales at Christopher Alan Homes, “There are some great opportunities in new construction as prices have decreased this year. And there are also some very big developments planned in Eastern Collier that will add 14,000 new homes to the market in the next 12 to 15 months.”
