THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY
“This is going to be a great summer for buyers,” said Mike Hughes, vice president and general manager of Downing-Frye Realty. “The overall inventory of available properties has climbed since this time last year. Sellers have been recognizing that their increased home equity can be used for downsizing (or up-sizing), so they’re seguing into new locations which keeps the market active. Many of these seller-buyers are long term Downing-Frye clients, with a sense of loyalty that can’t be bought. This is a strong reason why our company has been voted the “Best Real Estate Company” in Naples for the last 13 years in a row, and in Bonita Springs for the last nine. All I can say, with deep sincerity, is ‘thank you’ to our loyal customers. Because of you, Downing-Frye Realty, Inc. consistently leads the market in overall closed sales transactions. We are proud to have been a real estate partner, not only for our local clients, but also for those new to the area.”
Evidence of increasing consumer confidence is becoming more apparent as sellers returned to the market in May, resulting in a 37 percent increase in overall inventory.

Want to Dig In Deep? The REALTORS® Confidence Index May Be the Answer
Highlights of the Report:
- Market conditions vary across local markets, but the REALTORS® confidence and buyer traffic indices indicate that market conditions were mainly “strong” rather than “weak” in May 2016.
- Across all property types, REALTORS® reported strong demand and brisker sales in their areas, but severely low inventory continued to depress sales, pushing prices up and making homes increasingly not affordable, especially for first-time buyers.
- Sustained job growth and the low cost of obtaining a mortgage, with 30-year fixed rates still below four percent, are likely underpinning the strong housing demand.
- First-time home-buyers accounted for 30 percent of sales.
- Very low supply, declining affordability, appraisal issues, and lender processing delays were reported as the key issues affecting sales. Still, most respondents were confident about the outlook for the next six months across all property type.
