Selling Your Old Naples Home
Pricing that accounts for the land, the location, and the home, marketing built for luxury buyers, and negotiation that protects your value.
Selling a home in Old Naples means pricing both the property and the land beneath it. Lot size, street location, distance to the beach and Fifth Avenue South, elevation, and recent comparable sales drive value. Jeremy O’Guinn, Broker Associate and Certified Negotiation Expert with Downing-Frye Realty, prices Old Naples homes and condos from property-level sales data and markets them to qualified luxury buyers and builders.
Old Naples buyers are well informed and compare closely. Some want a finished home, some want a lot to build on, and condo buyers weigh building health as much as the view. The right strategy speaks to the right buyer.

Selling in Old Naples: FAQ
Pricing, land value, marketing, and getting started
How is an Old Naples home priced?
Pricing starts with recent Old Naples sales and land value. Lot size, street location, distance to the beach and Fifth Avenue South, elevation, and whether the home suits renovation or rebuilding all affect value, so pricing relies on a detailed property-level analysis.
Does land value matter more than the house in Old Naples?
Often it does. Many buyers purchase for the lot, so land value sets a floor for pricing. A new or well-renovated home adds value above that, while an older cottage may be priced closer to land value.
