Lee County April Housing Market Update
The April housing market update for Lee County showed there was more than $1.35 Billion in properties closed during the month, down from $1.38 Billion during the prior year. Both single family home and condo sales year-over-year decreased double digits in Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers.
The percentage of cash transactions during the month increased to 49 percent of the total transactions which was up slightly from 48 percent compared to the previous month. Over the last 6 months, cash sales have been between 45% and 52% of total transactions. If you are a buyer and you find yourself in a multiple bid situation, in most cases the seller will consider a cash offer a stronger offer than one with financing.
Similar to the previous month, even though inventory remains historically low, inventory continued to build. The number of new properties hitting the market increased 16.3 percent for condos and single family homes increased 3.1 percent compared to the same time last year. In all, there were 2,779 new properties were listed during the month.

Similar to March when inventory increased more than 20 percent, April showed another 23 percent increase!
Keep in mind, even though industry experts continue to say growth will slow, we have yet to see a slowdown reflected in the actual local market data. As long as inventory remains extremely low, prices will continue to rise. However, if inventory continues to build, we should see the rate of growth start to slow.
If you are considering selling, you are still in the driver’s seat. However, with the increased inventory combined with the price reductions we are seeing to list price, we recommend you sell sooner rather than later.

Lee County April Housing Update – Condos and Townhomes

- Available inventory of condos ended April with 1 month supply of properties available for sale which was a 9.1 percent decline.
Between closed sales and pending sales, inventory remains very low. Even though there was a notable increase in new listings, they went to contract quickly if priced correctly. If you are a buyer and you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, it may be time to start taking a closer look at homes for sale. Depending on the neighborhood, you may be surprised at the number of properties available for sale.
Bottom line, it is a seller’s market for both condos and single family homes. So now would be a great time to cash in on the high buyer demand. You might be surprised to learn how much your home is worth in today’s market. Wondering what the benefits are of using an agent sell your home? What is my home worth…
