Naples Real Estate

It may seem like the same old story, but good news for the housing market needs to be told when it continues to get better. Activity in the real estate sector of the economy for the Naples area has improved for the seventh straight month. In a report released by the Naples Area Board of Realtors, Naples home sales for the month of August increased by over 25% from a year ago. These numbers count actual closed sales of single family homes and condominiums in Collier County, excluding Marco Island.

We have always known that Naples and Collier County is a great place to live with the beautiful beaches, wonderful dining and shopping, numerous activities, and the fantastic weather. Now we have even another plus for the area. The Collier County Sheriff’s Office recently announced that the crime rate for the first six months of 2008 continues to go down and that it is now as low as it has been in nearly 40 years. While feeling safe is more of an emotion, there are now actual figures to support this comforting sense of security.
