Naples, FL (May 24, 2013) – The housing market momentum continues to remain strong heading into summer. NABOR (Naples Area Board of Realtors) leaders site three major results as the “Trifecta Factor”: (1.) overall inventory continues to decrease (2.) the average days-on-the-market is lower and 3.) median home prices continue to increase. The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), tracks residential listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island) and releases a monthly and quarterly report of activity.
“For the last few years we have continued to see strong home sales in the summer,” said Mike Hughes, Vice President and General Manager of Downing-Frye Realty.“The notion of strong sales occurring only during traditional ‘season’ is no longer, and we are very bullish on the real estate market heading into summer due to the environment of low inventory, the tightening up of days on the market and the increase in median prices. If people have been waiting to list, now may be the time.”
The NABOR® April report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condominium sales (via the SunshineMLS), price ranges, and geographic segmentation and includes an Overall Market summary.
