Florida Housing Market is Redefined
Naples, Fla. (February 1, 2023) – In the first year after a two-year interruption in normal activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Naples real estate market is stable in terms of value, but there are not as many homes to choose from, and prices have elevated. As pandemic restrictions loosened in 2022, sellers and buyers pivoted their attention from the housing market to the travel market. As a result, and according to the December 2022 and 2022 Annual Market Report by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island), overall closed sales in 2022 decreased 34.8 percent to 10,156 properties from 15,570 properties in 2021.And while inventory is beginning to rebound, increasing 106.3 percent to 2,465 properties in December 2022 from 1,195 properties in December 2021, broker analysts reviewing the report are uncertain where and when an influx of inventory will arrive to meet our pre-pandemic levels.

REPEAL: COLLIER COUNTY 60-DAY NOTICE TO TENANT ORDINANCE |
|
The Collier County Board of Commissioners repealed the 60-day notice to tenant ordinance on January 10, 2023. The ordinance pertained to unincorporated Collier County and required a landlord to give a tenant a 60-day written notice if they planned to increase the rent by 5% or more.
With the ordinance repealed, landlords will no longer face a fine if they do not give a 60-day notice to tenants when they intend to raise the rent. The repeal went into effect January 10, 2023.
Please be aware that the City of Naples 60-day ordinance remains in effect.
