As someone who’s called Naples home since I was four, I’ve watched Southwest Florida’s real estate landscape shift and evolve over the years. Right now, we’re seeing another interesting turn: home sales are up 10.9% year over year, signaling strong buyer interest across our communities. At the same time, new construction permits have dropped 22.1% to 18,569 units, which means less new inventory coming online. That balance between demand and supply is starting to show in the numbers—median home prices currently stand at $385,000 in Lee County, $850,000 in Collier, and $360,000 in Charlotte. Having grown up immersed in the local market and with a background shaped by both real estate and construction, I pay close attention to how these shifts might impact everything from resale value to neighborhood growth. Whether you’re considering a move, investment, or transition within Southwest Florida, understanding these trends can help you make a more informed decision, and that’s always my priority as your guide.
