The February 2026 NABOR report delivered a significant positive data point: pending sales — homes placed under contract — increased 55.9% versus February 2025, and 23.4% versus January 2026. This spike was attributed to the arrival of Northeast buyers in Naples during peak season. Broker analysts noted strong activity in both resale and new construction segments.

Florida Condo Market — New Laws in Effect
Florida's post-Surfside legislation (SB 4D) has materially changed the condo market in Naples and statewide. Buildings three stories or taller built before 1992 now face mandatory structural milestone inspections and reserve funding requirements. Many older condo associations face significant special assessments to comply — this has created hesitation among buyers and downward pressure on pre-1992 condo pricing.
- Request the condo association's most recent structural inspection report
- Verify the reserve fund level and any pending special assessments
- Ask when the building last had a milestone inspection and what the findings were
- Consult with an attorney familiar with Florida condo law before making an offer on any older condo building
