Frequently asked questions

Is Naples real estate still a good investment in 2026?

Naples continues to show resilience due to structural demand from retirees, demographic tailwinds, and Florida's favorable tax environment.

What is the conforming loan limit in Naples?

The 2026 conforming limit in Collier County is $832,750. Most Naples purchases exceed this, entering jumbo territory requiring 720+ credit, 20–30% down, and 12 months of reserves.

How does Florida homeowners insurance affect my pre-approval?

Florida insurance is significantly higher than national averages. We collect an actual insurance quote during pre-approval — not an estimate — so your DTI reflects real monthly cost.
