There's a lot of great information in APRIL'S SOUTHWEST FLORIDA MARKET REPORT, with important information below for both buyers and sellers.

SOUTHWEST FLORIDA MARKET PERSPECTIVE

April marked the 11th straight month of year-over-year sales gains, with 2,860 sales — up 17% from last year. New listings declined 11% to 3,209, while inventory fell 22% to 14,996. Months of supply dropped 30% year over year, from 10.34 to 7.45.

Recent trends of rising sales and fewer new listings have shifted the market from nearing buyer’s market territory to a balanced market showing encouraging strength.

🏡 KEY POINTS FOR SELLERS:
✅️ Preparation Matters: Buyers remain selective, keeping pricing, condition, and presentation critical.
✅️ Don’t Misread the Market: Stronger market metrics don’t guarantee activity for overpriced or unprepared homes.
✅️ Seasonal Perspective: Buyer activity will ease seasonally, but so does new inventory, helping well-positioned homes remain competitive.

🏡 KEY POINTS FOR BUYERS:
✅️ Continued Opportunity: Buyers still benefit from a healthy selection of homes and balanced conditions.
✅️ Improving Conditions: Rising sales and declining inventory point to growing market strength.
✅️ Stay Ready: Competing buyers remain active, and desirable homes can still move quickly.

Please find below the Pelican Bay Quarter 1, 2026 Market Report. It contains important information for both buyers and sellers.

If you'd like to discuss in greater detail, please reach out:
📲 (239) 595-2912 | GarySellsNaples.com

PELICAN BAY MARKET PERSPECTIVE:

Closed sales reached 100 in the first quarter of 2026—the highest in the past decade outside of the COVID-driven peaks of 2020 and 2021. At the same time, new listings totaled 158, among the lowest first-quarter levels in ten years, aside from 2022 and 2023. These trends have contributed to a 28% year-over-year decline in inventory and a 38% drop in months of supply, which stood at 8.11 as of March 31—well within the 6–12-month range considered balanced for our market.

🏡 FOR SELLERS:
✅ Selective Buyers: Expect scrutiny—today’s buyers are market-aware and deliberate
✅ Market-Aligned Homes: Price and present your home correctly—buyers are rewarding it
✅ Strategic Timing: Position your home now to capture current demand

🏡 FOR BUYERS:
✅ Rising Activity: Buyer competition has increased—be prepared to act
✅ Balanced Opportunity: Take advantage of current selection while it remains
✅ Look Beyond Volume: Plenty of options exist, but best-fit homes can be limited

Great information below for both buyers and sellers to review in the Gulf Shore Boulevard Quarter 1, 2026 Market Report.

If you'd like to discuss in more detail, please reach out:
📲 (239) 595-2912 | GarySellsNaples.com

GULF SHORE BOULEVARD NORTH MARKET PERSPECTIVE:

With 84 closed sales reported along Gulf Shore Boulevard North, Q1 2026 recorded the highest number of first-quarter sales in the past decade—excluding the peak of the pandemic-driven surge in 2021.

Year-over-year closed sales increased on both the bay side and beach side, up 77% and 125% respectively in Q1. New listings declined in the first quarter, down 13% on the bay side and 54% on the beach side.

Months of supply remain elevated at 16.22 on the bay side and 13.22 on the beach side, even as strong sales activity and a slowdown in new listings point to positive underlying trends.

🏡 FOR SELLERS:
✅ Buyers are selective, not absent: Strong sales gains show demand is there—but it’s concentrated on units that feel updated, move-in ready, and aligned with current market expectations.
✅ Reassess presentation and pricing: If updates, condition, staging, and marketing don’t generate activity, pricing is the lever that remains.
✅ Early positioning prevents chasing the market: Properties that launch competitively are capturing interest and offers; those that start high often lose momentum and end up reacting later.

🏡 FOR BUYERS:
✅ Think long-term value: Prioritize location, quality, and livability over trying to perfectly time the market.
✅ Balance opportunity and timing: Current selection is strong, but positive sales trends suggest hesitation could mean fewer choices as the market absorbs inventory.
✅ Don’t be misled by headline inventory: Well-presented, correctly priced listings are selling despite overall supply levels. Be prepared to act when you identify an attractive market-aligned unit.
