Frequently Asked Questions
I see condo prices softening but houses getting more expensive; what’s the safe bet right now?
You’ve hit on the ‘Great Reset’ of 2026. Following the 2025 structural integrity laws, the condo market has seen a nearly 8% price adjustment as associations shore up their reserves. This has created an incredible opportunity for buyers who want value, provided we do the due diligence on the building’s financials.
Single-family homes, however, remain the gold standard, showing a 3% year-over-year increase because supply west of I-75 is physically limited. If you want equity stability, go single-family. If you want a lifestyle ‘deal’ and are okay with higher monthly HOA fees, 2026 is the year of the condo.
Everyone says insurance is a nightmare; is it still impossible to get a reasonable quote?
Believe it or not, the ‘Insurance Crisis’ is finally starting to thaw. For the first time in a decade, major carriers like Florida Peninsula and Patriot Select have actually filed for rate decreases of 8% to 11% in 2026.
We are seeing 17+ new companies enter the Florida market, which means more competition for your business. My strategy for you is simple: we target homes with roofs that have at least 5 years of life remaining, as Florida law now prevents insurers from denying you based solely on age if the roof is still functional. Relief is coming, but you still need a local pro to navigate the ‘fine print’ of flood requirements.
Is 2026 actually a good time to buy in Naples, or should I wait for rates to drop further?
We get this question at almost every coffee meeting lately. While everyone is watching the Fed, the reality in Naples is that our inventory is tightening again, down over 10% this year.
Here’s the math my clients are looking at: Waiting for a 0.5% rate drop might save you about $250 a month on a typical Naples mortgage. However, with pending sales recently surging by over 50%, prices are under upward pressure. If home prices climb just 5% while you wait, you’ve effectively lost money through higher loan amounts and a larger down payment.
My advice? If you are ready to live the life you want, why wait? If you find a home that fits your lifestyle now and plan to be there for 2–5 years, you’re buying into a market that historically moves into an upward trajectory. The market will always have ebbs and flows, but in Naples, time in the market almost always beats timing the market
We want to be able to walk to dinner or the beach. Is that even possible in Naples without a $5M budget?
It’s the Naples dream! While Old Naples is the famous walkable hub, it does come with that luxury price tag. However, in 2026, we’re seeing a ‘walkability surge’ in areas like North Naples near Mercato and parts of the Bayshore Arts District.
In Bayshore, you can find modern villas within walking distance of the Botanical Garden and local breweries for a fraction of downtown prices. Data shows that ‘Walk Score’ is becoming a primary driver for home value properties within a half-mile of a social hub are appreciating roughly 2% faster than isolated suburban lots. I’ll show you the hidden pockets where you can still grab a coffee or a cocktail without needing your car keys.
I’m thinking about selling; what is your process for getting a home 'market-ready'?
Most agents just put a sign in the yard, but I follow a strict 30-Day Pre-Listing Success Plan to ensure you don’t leave money on the table. In 2026, buyers are hyper-focused on move-in-ready homes and avoiding the ‘hidden costs’ of immediate repairs.
My ‘Market-Ready’ strategy focuses on:
The Brighten Phase (Days 1–7): Updating dated light fixtures and maximizing natural light. This is the first thing a buyer notices when they walk in.
The ‘Mechanical Blitz’ (Day 17): This is where we tackle the ‘Never-Done Repair List.’ We focus on servicing the HVAC and fixing minor plumbing leaks or slow drains. In this market, a rusted AC pan or a leaky P-trap under the sink is an immediate ‘red flag’ for buyers that can derail an inspection.
The Emotional Reset (Days 8–16): Neutralizing paint colors and depersonalizing so buyers can actually picture their lives in your space.
The Launch (Days 26–30): Professional photography and high-end staging to capture the 50% of buyers who decide whether to visit based on your online photos alone.
By handling the mechanics and aesthetics up front, we ensure the home inspection is a breeze, and your equity stays protected.

Is the 2026 Naples housing market a buyer's or seller's market for single-family homes?
The Naples housing market in 2026 is currently categorized as a balanced market leaning toward a buyer’s market, though there is a distinct split between property types. While inventory has grown significantly over the last year, single-family homes remain much more resilient than condominiums.
Market Snapshot for Single-Family Homes
For single-family residences, the market is characterized by stability rather than a sharp decline. While the overall market shows signs of softening, high-demand neighborhoods and golf communities continue to see competitive activity.
Inventory & Choice: Overall inventory in Naples reached approximately 6,000+ properties (an 11.7% to 16.8% increase year-over-year). This gives you more negotiating power and the ability to compare multiple homes without the “frenzy” of previous years.
Price Resilience: Unlike the condo market, which has seen modest price softening, single-family home prices have remained stable or slightly increased, with the median price for a single-family home hovering around $812,500.
Negotiation Power: Homes are currently selling for an average of 93% to 95% of their list price. Additionally, the average time a home sits on the market has increased to roughly 82–90+ days, giving buyers more room for inspections and due diligence.
We’re relocating to Naples in our 50s; is it all just golf, or is there a younger, active social scene?
We love this question because the ‘sleepy retirement’ stigma of Naples is officially a thing of the past. In 2026, Naples is thriving with an ‘Active Adult’ energy. If you aren’t into golf, you’ll find that Pickleball has taken over, with the East Naples Community Park remaining the ‘Capital of the World’ for the sport.
For culture seekers, we have Artis; Naples, which hosts Broadway-caliber shows and a full symphony, as well as the newly expanded Baker Museum. If you’re into the outdoors, the Gordon River Greenway just completed its latest trail extension, offering miles of paved canopy walks perfect for morning bike rides. Whether it’s a ‘Wine and Design’ night in the Naples Art District or a sunset boat cruise from Tin City, your social calendar will be as full as you want it to be. Naples isn’t where you come to retire; it’s where you come to live.
Do I actually need flood insurance if I’m not in a 'high-risk' zone
The short answer in 2026 is: Yes, you likely do, even if FEMA says you aren’t in a flood zone.
Here is why: Florida law changed significantly. As of January 1, 2026, if your home’s dwelling coverage is $400,000 or more and you are insured by Citizens, you are now required to carry flood insurance regardless of your zone. By 2027, this will apply to all Citizens policyholders.
Beyond the law, the data doesn’t lie; 25% of all flood claims come from ‘low-risk’ Zone X properties. In Naples, we deal with rising groundwater and heavy tropical downpours that local drainage systems sometimes can’t keep up with. A ‘low-risk’ policy can cost as little as $400–$600 a year, which is a small price to pay for protecting a $500k+ asset. My rule of thumb? In a town surrounded by water, if it can rain, it can flood. Don’t risk your equity to save $50 a month.
We see some homes in my neighborhood sitting for 90+ days. Is the market stalling, or are they just overpriced?
It’s not a stall; it’s a ‘Flight to Quality.’ In 2026, the Naples market has split in two. Homes that are move-in ready, meaning a new roof, updated kitchens, and impact glass, are still moving quickly. However, the average Days on Market has climbed to about 85–100+ days for homes that need work.
Buyers today are exhausted by high insurance premiums and renovation costs, so they are willing to pay a premium for a home that is ‘done.’ If a home is sitting, it’s usually because the price hasn’t adjusted for the ‘renovation tax’ buyers feel they have to pay after closing. I’ll help you position your home so it’s the one buyers compete for, not the one they overlook.
Should we price our home high to leave room for negotiations, or start closer to the actual sale price?
We get why people want to ‘test’ a high price, but in this digital-first market, that strategy almost always backfires. The data is startling: if you are just 5% overpriced, you immediately lose 50% of the ready buyer pool. In 2026, the ‘sweet spot’ is everything. Statistics show that homes priced within 5% of fair market value receive 3x more showings in the first 14 days.
If we price correctly from day one, we maintain the leverage. If we have to do a price reduction later, buyers start wondering, ‘What’s wrong with it?’ Don’t come back, and if they do, they usually come in with even low-ball offers. My goal is to get you the most money in the least amount of time by using the Power Move Method, our 4 Pillar framework, which creates immediate urgency.
