Naples December 2025 Market Stats: What the Numbers Tell Us
The December 2025 Naples real estate data offers a clear snapshot of how the market closed out the year. Rather than dramatic shifts, the numbers point to a market that remains active while continuing to adjust into a more measured pace.
Below is a breakdown of the key statistics and what they suggest about current market conditions.
New Listings Slowed at Year-End
In December, 999 new listings entered the market, marking a 19% decrease compared to December 2024.
Fewer new listings toward the end of the year are not unusual and can reflect seasonal timing, seller hesitation, or homeowners waiting for early-year activity. This slowdown contributed to tighter inventory conditions as the year came to a close.
Overall Inventory Declined
Total active inventory finished December at 5,714 homes, a 14% decrease year over year.
Lower inventory can limit buyer choice, particularly in highly sought-after neighborhoods, and often puts more emphasis on well-priced, well-located properties. While inventory remains healthier than during peak seller-market years, this decline suggests a more competitive environment is beginning to take shape.
Buyer Activity Remained Strong
Despite fewer new listings, buyer activity increased.
704 pending sales, up 13% year over year
773 closed sales, up 29% compared to December 2024
The rise in pending and closed sales shows that buyers continued to move forward with purchases, even during the typically quieter end-of-year period. This level of activity indicates sustained demand and confidence heading into the new year.
Homes Took Longer to Sell
The average days on market increased to 94 days, up 12% year over year.
Longer marketing times suggest buyers are taking a more deliberate approach, weighing options carefully rather than making rushed decisions. While homes are still selling, pricing accuracy and presentation play a larger role in how quickly properties move.
Median Prices Moved Higher
The median closed price reached $570,000, reflecting a 5% increase compared to December 2024.
This increase suggests that pricing has remained resilient, even as market conditions evolve. Rising median prices can reflect continued demand in certain segments, as well as shifts in the types of properties closing.
What This Means Going Into the New Year
December’s data points to a Naples real estate market that is:
Active, with strong pending and closed sales
Tightening slightly, with fewer new listings and lower inventory
More balanced, with longer days on market and thoughtful buyer behavior
Rather than extremes, the market appears to be settling into a steadier rhythm—one where informed decisions, realistic expectations, and timing matter.
Final Thoughts
Market statistics provide context, not predictions. The December 2025 NABOR data shows a market that continues to move forward while adjusting naturally after several years of rapid change.
Understanding these trends helps buyers and sellers approach the Naples market with clarity and confidence as 2026 begins.
