A New Home Under Construction in Naples, Florida by Nova Homes of South Florida
While many consumers pay a lot of attention to home price increases, most don't pay enough attention to price per square foot, real estate experts say.
"Price per square foot is considered to be a more stable reference point than home price," said Jonathan Smoke, Realtor.com's former chief economist. In a market like Southwest Florida, it's a good way to eliminate the fluctuations that come from seasonal variations, added supply, a flood of foreclosures and even the weather. The market has a way of self-policing.” Smoke said.
Zillow recently reported the median price per square foot in Naples, Florida is $215. They are predicting within a year that will rise 1.6%
In a study published in Builder, they calculated that the average price per square foot in Naples is $266.
