HUGE MAY FOR REAL ESTATE MARKET Press Release: Naples, FL (June 14, 2013) – Pending sales, closed sales and median closed prices were up while inventory and average days on the market decreased for the 12-month period ending May 2013. The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), tracks residential listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island) and I release a monthly and quarterly report of activity. “May 2013 compared to May 2012 was a very big month for the local real estate market,” said Mike Hughes, Vice President and General Manager of Downing-Frye Realty. “For many REALTORS the activity didn’t slow down. Buyers are afraid to miss out on opportunities with interest rates and inventory low so they are making purchase decisions now.” Kathy Zorn, Broker/Owner of Florida Home Realty stated, “There is no shortage of buyers in the area right now. This may be an opportune time for sellers to list their homes.” The NABOR® May 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.
