The latest Naples Area Board of REALTORS® data reports a median of 103 days on the market.

That's why preparation matters.☝

Today's buyer has time to compare properties, and your home needs to stand out for the right reasons.

Before going live, think strategically about:

✅ Presentation.
✅ Professional photography and video.
✅ Condition.
✅ Pricing.
✅ Showing readiness.
✅ Your competition.
✅ The story your home tells.

Luxury marketing isn't simply about putting a listing online. It's about creating an experience around the property and positioning it thoughtfully for the buyers most likely to appreciate it.

If you're considering selling your Naples home, the strategy should begin well before the listing goes live.

Naples isn’t just one neighborhood and choosing the right place to call home goes far beyond finding the right house.

From the coastal lifestyle of Park Shore and Pelican Bay to the walkability and historic charm of Old Naples, or the space and newer communities found farther north and east, each part of Naples offers something distinctly different.

That’s why we like to help buyers understand Naples in layers: zip code, area, then community. Once you know which lifestyle fits you, the home search becomes much more focused.

This is just a sneak peek from The DiMare Group Relocation Guide, created to help make your move to Naples a little easier.

They almost didn’t see this house at all.

It wasn’t on their list, and when we walked through it, I understood why. The finishes felt dated, the furnishings made it difficult to see beyond what was there, and it didn’t immediately give them that “this is home” feeling.

But this is where experience changes the conversation.

With my construction background, I wasn’t just looking at the finishes. I was looking at the bones of the home, the bedrooms and bathrooms their family needed, dual living spaces, a media room, a pool bath, and a floor plan with so much potential.

So instead of asking, “Do you love it as it is?” we started asking, “What could this become?”

We walked through renovation ideas, talked about how the spaces could function for their family, and started imagining a kitchen designed exactly the way they wanted it.

Then came the numbers.

The home was listed around $1.19M. My buyers secured it for $935,000, approximately 21.4% below the asking price, plus $30,000 toward closing costs to help buy down their interest rate.

That’s why buying a home isn’t always about finding the prettiest property online. Sometimes it’s about recognizing value, understanding what can be changed, and having someone beside you who can help you see the opportunity others may overlook.

Now comes the fun part… let the dream kitchen designing begin. 🤍🏡

If you’re relocating to Naples, you don’t have to know exactly what you’re looking for on day one. You just need the right guidance to recognize it when you find it.

Head east and you’ll find Ave Maria, a thoughtfully planned community where beautiful neighborhoods, golf-cart rides, local restaurants, coffee shops, Ave Maria University, and everyday conveniences all come together.

Communities like Maple Ridge and Del Webb offer their own distinct ways of living, while the Town Center gives residents a place to gather, dine, shop, and enjoy a slower pace of Southwest Florida life.

For buyers looking beyond the coast, Ave Maria is well worth exploring.

Could you picture yourself calling this community home?

Big changes could be ahead for Florida homeowners. 🏡🌴

A new property tax relief proposal could significantly increase the Homestead Exemption, potentially from $50,000 to $250,000, with the goal of easing the property tax burden for Florida families.

For homeowners, changes like these aren’t just headlines. They can influence the cost of owning a home, long-term financial planning, and even future real estate decisions.

As the proposal moves through the legislative process, I’ll continue to follow the details and what they could mean for homeowners here in Florida.

Have questions about how potential property tax changes could impact your home or your next move? I’m always happy to be a resource.

Florida isn’t just growing, it’s making an impact on the world stage. 🌎 With a $1.8 trillion economy, Florida has risen to become the 14th-largest economy in the world, surpassing both Australia and Mexico.

Those numbers reflect something we see happening across the state: people, businesses, and investment continue to choose Florida, and Southwest Florida is part of that momentum.

For us, it’s another reminder that real estate is about more than homes. It’s about understanding the communities, opportunities, and larger trends shaping the places our clients choose to call home.

Florida’s story is still being written, and we’re proud to have a front-row seat here in Southwest Florida.

Instead of comparing properties exclusively by purchase price, buyers should consider the total cost of ownership:

Purchase price + HOA/condo fees + insurance + flood insurance where applicable + property taxes + anticipated assessments + maintenance.

Because when buying a home in Naples, the purchase price isn’t the whole price.

A property that looks like the better deal on paper may tell a very different story once the ongoing costs are factored in. Understanding those numbers upfront can help you compare homes more confidently and avoid surprises after closing.

At The DiMare Group, we help you look beyond the listing price so you can understand what a home will truly cost to own.

Thinking about buying in Naples? Let’s run the numbers together and find the home that makes sense for both your lifestyle and your investment.

08/25/2026

The numbers are telling an interesting story, and both homeowners and buyers should be paying attention.

Through June, 38 homes sold, a 19% increase year over year, while available inventory dropped 69% to just 5 homes. Months of supply also fell from 6.00 last year to 1.58.

So, what does that actually mean for you?

🏡 If you’re thinking about selling:
With fewer homes available and sales activity increasing, you may be facing less competition from other sellers. That can create an opportunity, but pricing and positioning still matter. Buyers are active, but they’re also informed, so a strong launch strategy can make a meaningful difference.

🔑 If you’re thinking about buying:
A 1.58-month supply means choices are more limited than they were a year ago. If the right property comes to market, being prepared with financing, knowing your priorities, and having a strategy before you make an offer can help you move confidently without making a rushed decision.

The biggest takeaway? The Quarry is operating in a much tighter market than it was this time last year. That doesn’t automatically mean “sell now” or “buy now”, it means understanding how these conditions apply to your specific goals and property.

Real estate is hyperlocal, and even within Naples, one community can behave very differently from the next.

Thinking about buying or selling? The DiMare Group is here to help you look beyond the headline numbers and understand what the market could mean for your next move.

The Southwest Florida market is sending an interesting signal: buyers are becoming more active, even as the supply of homes tightens.

So, what do the numbers actually mean if you're considering a move?

For buyers:
More homes are selling while fewer new properties are coming to market. That can mean increased competition for well-priced, well-maintained homes, especially in desirable neighborhoods. Buyers may still have opportunities to negotiate, but waiting for significantly lower prices could come with a tradeoff if inventory continues to tighten.

For sellers:
The decline in inventory is encouraging. With closed sales rising nearly 16%, there is clear evidence that buyers are transacting. But this isn't a market where simply listing a home guarantees a strong result. Pricing, presentation, condition, and positioning against competing properties remain critical.

And perhaps the most telling number is price stability.

Despite significant changes in inventory and sales activity, the average sale price is $809,734, just 0.27% higher than last year. Rather than seeing a dramatic swing in values, we're seeing a market where buyers and sellers appear to be finding more common ground.

The takeaway: Southwest Florida isn't one single market. Conditions can look very different depending on the community, property type, price point, and even the street.

If you're thinking about buying or selling, the question isn't simply, “Is this a good market?”

It's “What is happening in the part of the market that matters to me?”

That’s where local data, and the right strategy, make the difference.
