The Naples housing market demonstrated resilience this summer, maintaining steady demand while navigating seasonal inventory shifts. According to the August 2025 Market Report from the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), home sales activity outpaced last year’s levels and property values remained strong, reflecting continued buyer confidence in the region.
Sales and Inventory Trends
In August 2025, closed sales increased by 11% compared to August 2024, reaching 604 transactions. Inventory, while lower during the early summer months, saw a year-over-year rise of 9.1% to 4,892 properties. This combination of increased sales and growing supply highlights Naples’ ability to balance both buyer and seller expectations.
Seasonally, many sellers temporarily withdraw homes from the market during the summer, creating what is often referred to as “shadow inventory.” At the same time, pending sales activity has remained strong, with four consecutive months of higher contract activity compared to last year. Together, these trends indicate that Naples remains an attractive market for buyers seeking long-term value. This is a normal trend in the fall for the Naples housing market September 2025 through December 2025 which we have seen repeated over the years.
Single-Family Homes vs. Condominiums
The single-family home market continues to show strong demand, even as inventory levels tighten. Between May and August, single-family listings declined from 3,120 to 2,418 homes, while the median closed price increased from $704,000 to $732,000.
Condominiums told a different story. Listings dropped from 3,404 in May to 2,474 in August, but the median closed price slipped from $450,000 to $408,000. Older condominium communities, particularly those facing reserve funding or inspection requirements, may experience slower absorption unless competitively priced and well-maintained.
Market Confidence and Pricing
Overall, in our review of the Naples housing market September 2025 the median closed price in Naples for August 2025 was $588,500, a modest 1.1% decrease from the same month last year. Despite this dip, prices remain nearly 80% higher than pre-pandemic levels in 2019, underscoring long-term growth and value retention in Collier County.
Pricing strategy continues to be a key factor in market performance. Homes listed at realistic market values are selling quickly and close to asking price, while properties priced above market trends often sit longer and sell at steeper discounts.
What’s Ahead for Buyers and Sellers
Looking toward the fall and winter season—Naples’ busiest time for real estate—many of the homes temporarily withdrawn during summer are expected to return to the market. Buyers may find increased opportunities as inventory rises, particularly if sellers adjust pricing to reflect current demand.
Pending sales trends also suggest that closed transactions will remain healthy through the remainder of 2025. Unlike 2024, when hurricanes disrupted activity in September and October, this year’s quieter storm season has supported a stronger market outlook.
