Homes in Naples that pencil right now

A sample of active Naples listings whose DSCR clears 1.25 using short-term rental income projections we accept as a direct lender. These are spread across the price range, not ranked, and current as of August 2026.

As of August 2026, we analyzed 3,627 active for-sale homes in Naples, Florida. The typical listing is priced at $649,000 and is projected to generate about $43,036 a year as a short-term rental.

After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 13.4% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — below the 52.5% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Naples #194 of 200 for cash-flow potential.

On market momentum: homes in Naples sit a median of 103 days on the market, and 17% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a slower-moving market, which shapes how much room there is to negotiate.

For a DSCR loan — which qualifies on the property's rental income rather than your personal income — Naples runs tighter once operating costs are accounted for: many listings need a below-median price, a stronger short-term-rental setup, or more money down before the income covers the payment. It's a market where running the numbers property-by-property matters.

What actually works in Naples

Cash-flow is the exception rather than the rule in Naples right now: 109 of the 2,341 Naples homes, condos and townhomes we can price confidently clear a DSCR of 1.25. Nine in ten of them are priced under $479,000.

Share of those listings clearing an DSCR of 1.25, by price and bedroom count. The smaller figure is the median DSCR for that group.

Darker means a larger share of that group cash-flows. “—” means fewer than 8 active listings — too few to draw a conclusion from.
