July 2023 SWFL Market Report

Although closed sales for July trailed last year’s pace, standing listing inventory as of July 31st posted a modest month-over-month decrease, down 1% from 7,654 to 7,545 units.

Months of supply, a metric which gauges the balance between supply and demand, at 3.79 month as of July 31, was essentially unchanged from 3.80 months posted in June. In Southwest Florida, six to twelve months is generally considered a balanced market, with fewer months being indicative of a seller’s market.

By the numbers, a seller’s market has existed in Southwest Florida since early 2020, peaking in February 2022 when a mere .63 months of supply was posted. 12-month rolling closed sale prices have followed, with continued year-over-year increases, but now more modest than during the peak of buyer activity in 2021 and 2022.

May 2023 SWFL Market Report

Year-to-date through May, closed sales were just 3% shy of pre-pandemic norms. With sales steadily occurring at historical norms and new listings trending slower than normal, standing inventory has grown little in recent months with increases of 3% and 1% posted respectively for April and May.

With the Multiple Listing Service posting 7,627 available units in Southwest Florida as of May 31, standing inventory is roughly 60% of normal pre-pandemic levels. And with the current pace of sales rivaling the pre-pandemic pace when inventory was nearly double that of today, a higher percentage of homes currently on the market are “fresh inventory”, offering buyers welcomed options.

Year to date through May, on average, 48% of the available inventory has been refreshed each month compared to 30% in the months just prior to the onset of the pandemic. With buyers taking advantage of this, average days on market remains low at 46 days for May compared to an average of 85 days for the month of May in the three years preceding the pandemic.

Owners contemplating a move but have hesitated due to concerns that they might not be able to find a replacement should find relief in the fact that new options emerge onto our market regularly while, as sellers, they can also take advantage of low days on market and sustained closed sales pricing after the appreciation that’s occurred over the past few years.
