Naples sits at a median home value of $549,494 as of the latest Zillow read, down 5.5% year-over-year — a meaningful softening that’s putting deal flow back on the table for cash buyers.

The sale-to-list ratio sits at 0.952, and 88.5% of closed sales are landing below list. That’s a clear buyer’s market — sellers are negotiating, and motivated-seller direct mail is converting at rates we haven’t seen since 2014.

Rents are workable but not generous. ZORI of $2,715/mo against a $549k median gives a 5.93% gross yield — average for the metro tier, requiring tight underwriting on any hold.

Median days-on-market is running around 67 days against 6,827 active listings — extended DOM creates room for direct-to-seller approaches and price-cut targeting. List-pull strategies on properties at 90+ days are converting in this environment.

MDR’s composite investor score for Naples is 91/100 based on rent yield, sale-to-list discount, motivated-seller proxies, and DOM. That puts it in our top tier — actively recommended for new capital deployment this cycle.
