Naples, Fla. (October 23, 2026) – Three statistics in the September 2026 Market Report tell a familiar story about the Naples area housing market: buyers are still buying, sellers are still listing, and excess inventory that built up in 2025 is steadily being absorbed. According to the September 2026 Monthly Market Report from the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales throughout Collier County (excluding Marco Island), those three statistics are: overall closed sales increased 2.5 percent to 623 closed sales from 608 closed sales in September 2025; new listings increased 4.8 percent to 1,073 new listings from 1,024 new listings in September 2025; and inventory decreased 17.3 percent to 4,240 properties from 5,128 properties in September 2025. The lure of the Naples lifestyle, especially in the luxury market, is not losing its momentum. “Heading into season we may have less inventory, but the market is more balanced than a year ago,” said Mike Hughes, Vice President and General Manager for Downing-Frye Realty, Inc. The overall median closed price increased 4.5 percent to $575,000 from $550,000 in September 2025. At the same time, mortgage rates sit well above where they were last September, which is making buyers more deliberate today, according to broker analysts reviewing the September report. “It has been a good year for the luxury market,” Hughes added. “Our average sales price in September was $1.2 million, where pre-COVID it was in the $500,000 range.”
