Quick one for anyone in Collier County: commissioners just set next year's maximum tax rate, and it's flat with this year.

That doesn't automatically mean your bill stays the same (assessed value still matters), but it's good to know before the final budget hearings later this month.

Read the full breakdown, including what actually determines whether your bill goes up even with a flat rate, in this week's issue of The 239 Weekly: https://239weekly.naplesnest.com/p/the-239-weekly-september-4-september-10-2026

If you want local Naples/Bonita news and real estate updates in your inbox every Friday, it's free to subscribe: https://239weekly.naplesnest.com/subscribe

Rates hold near 6.71%, Collier's tax rate stays flat, and two Old Naples hotels worth knowing.

Naples Market Update: July 2026
Here's what actually happened, no spin in either direction.

The median sale price came in at $590,000, up 2.6% from July of last year. Inventory is down 21%. Homes are taking a little longer to sell: 108 days, up from 101. And sellers are still receiving 94.4% of list price.

Put together, that's not a crash and it's not a boom. It's a market finding its level.

One thing worth knowing: the average hides two very different stories. Single-family prices are up 12.9% year over year, while condo prices dipped 4.8%. If you've been watching condos and waiting for some room to negotiate, this is that window.

What that means for you depends entirely on your community, your price point, and your timeline. Happy to walk through your specific numbers. 15 minutes, no pressure, no obligation. Details in the comments.

🏡 Just Listed | 8117 Sandpiper Rd, Fort Myers | $450,000

Here's an honest one. This 2018-built, 4-bedroom, 2-bath home in San Carlos Park has great bones, a newer metal roof, and a layout that buyers love, but it needs some cosmetic attention and is priced accordingly. If you're a buyer who doesn't mind rolling up your sleeves, or an investor looking for a solid opportunity in a desirable location, this one deserves a look.

The popular Cali floor plan offers 1,828 square feet of open-concept living with tile flooring throughout the main areas, a spacious kitchen with quartz countertops, center island, stainless appliances, and pantry storage. The split-bedroom layout provides privacy, with a generous primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and en-suite bath with dual sinks and walk-in shower. The interior paint is partially complete, and the home shows some general wear consistent with previous occupancy, all reflected in the asking price.

Outside, a covered rear lanai and fully fenced backyard with a 6-foot vinyl privacy fence offer plenty of space to relax or entertain. Hurricane shutters, an irrigation system, and a 2-car garage round out the package.

What makes this home worth a serious look:
✔️ 2018 construction with immediate availability
✔️ Metal roof replacement
✔️ No HOA | No CDD | No rental restrictions
✔️ 4 bedrooms | 2 baths | 2-car garage
✔️ Quartz countertops and center island
✔️ Fenced backyard with covered lanai
✔️ Hurricane shutters and irrigation system
✔️ Priced to reflect cosmetic condition

Located between US-41 and I-75, this home is minutes to RSW International Airport, FGCU, Gulf Coast Town Center, Coconut Point, Miromar Outlets, Three Oaks Park, and Southwest Florida beaches.

New construction or resale home in Naples? 🏡

Both can be great options, but they usually offer very different advantages.

New construction may appeal to buyers who want modern layouts, newer systems, impact windows, energy efficiency, builder incentives, and fewer near-term maintenance concerns.

Resale homes may appeal to buyers who value established locations, mature landscaping, finished communities, immediate availability, and the ability to see exactly what they are buying.

Before deciding, buyers should compare:

Location
Timeline
Builder incentives
Upgrade costs
HOA, CDD, or club fees
Insurance considerations
Condition and future maintenance
Community maturity
Long-term resale potential

The right choice is not simply new or resale. It is the option that best fits your lifestyle, budget, timeline, and long-term goals.

Insurance is an important part of buying in Naples, and it should be reviewed early in the process. 🏡

Before purchasing, buyers should understand how the property’s flood zone, roof age, wind mitigation, elevation, storm protection, and property type may affect the insurance picture.

For condo buyers, the review should also include the association’s master policy, deductibles, reserves, budget, building condition, and any potential assessments.

Before buying in Naples, ask:

What flood zone is the property in?
Is an elevation certificate available?
How old is the roof?
Are there impact windows or shutters?
Is a wind mitigation report available?
What does the condo master policy cover?
Are there any insurance-related assessments or association concerns?

A property can look attractive online, but the full ownership picture includes more than the purchase price.

I put together a new NaplesNest guide covering insurance considerations when buying in Naples.
