The Naples Area Board of Realtors data cover all sales in Collier County except for those in Marco Island.
The July inventory of Naples-area condos for sale increased to 2,376 active listings, up 6 percent from 2,236 last year.
But the July inventory of Naples-area houses for sale fell to 2,552 active listings, down 1 percent from 2,565 last year.
The 1 percent drop in the number of houses for sale “may be the first sign that we are not far from a shift in the market … from a buyer’s to a seller’s market,” Cindy Carroll of real estate appraisal and consultancy firm Carroll & Carroll Inc. said in a prepared statement.
