Home and Condo Sales Report for August 2010 in Naples and Bonita Springs Florida
August numbers confirmed what we already knew - that pended sales were definitely impacted by the oil spill news. The good news is that even though there were fewer sales this August than in 2009, it was still the second highest number of sales for the month in the ten years for which we have data.
Total inventory in the combined Naples, Bonita Springs & Estero market is at its lowest level in four years. Available supply of units is down 29% from its 2007 high. Although the number of new listings being placed in inventory during the month was up slightly from the prior year, listings taken year-to-date remain behind last year.
Activity through the first 13 days of September has increased, and written sales are well ahead of the same period for September 2009 at this point.
John R. Wood Realtors remains Number One in Closed Volume in the market! Congratulations to a great sales team and support staff!

Naples, Bonita Springs & Estero Florida Community Sales Report
Those seeking information on a specific neighborhood in the Naples Bonita Springs or Estero area who may be relocating can learn a lot about the area by tracking and viewing the sales and available home inventory. One of the best methods for evaluating the available inventory in a community, its pricing compared to other comparable communities and the length of time it would or should take to sell your current or future property is every bit as important as the price. What has sold over the last year (the number of properties) and the number currently available is a superb method for assessing the health and maybe even the desireability.

Just Released Numbers Show Tourism Up in May - Collier County has No Oil on Beaches!
Local media reports that despite the fact their is no oil on any Florida beaches outside of the panhandle, a new study finds that 25% of people believe there is oil on south Florida beaches. The Oil spill is currently over 300 mile from the Naples, Bonita Springs & Fort Myers area and even if the spill were to reach the Florida Keys, Southwest Florida may still be spared. See the images and video that explain how... it's known as the "Forbidden Zone".
Naples triumphs! ...sort of. Despite the environmental devastation of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico around the Louisiana delta to the western panhandle of Florida and the reports of how it's affecting tourism, Naples numbers show visitation last month was up over 2009.
The recently released tourism numbers show that visitation was up nearly 4% (3.9%) in May 2010 versus the same month a year ago and visitor spending was up 5.4%. The latest report marks the 5th consecutive gain, making all of 2010 an UP year!
Unfortunately, the up trend in visitation is expected to come to an end as the coverage of the oil spill takes it's toll on the minds of preospective visitors from the north and the many Europeans that often visit during the summer.
Cancellations are up and reservations are down despite the fact that the oil spill is more than 300 miles away and unlikely to get to the Naples, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, Sanibel and Captiva for several months if at all.
Media outlets recently uncovered computer models that illustrate it's unlikely any oil will reach the gorgeous beaches of Southwest Florida. To see the video explination from local weather expert Jim Syoen (that accompanies the graph below) or to read the full article, visit the link to Fox 4 News where they talk about a decade-old study showing Southwest Florida being in a “Forbidden Zone” where current patterns tend to stay far off our shores. This sounds like great news and, as the video shows, should give us an extra layer of protection. This video is worth watching even without the oil spill. It gives you a better understanding of water current patterns in the Gulf of Mexico. Video
In the short term, this means there are some Great Deals for visitors that choose to come visit the beaches and area attraction or those that have actively been seeking real estate in the area. The shops and restaurants are open and the discounts are abundant! Come visit Naples and enjoy all of Southwest Florida area...Free of Oil and Full of Beauty!
If you're contemplating a purchase of real estate in the Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero or Fort Myers! area, I'd be happy to assist you with recommendations and discounts as well as points of interest and activities.
