🏡 Lee County Housing Market Update – October 2025

The Lee County real estate market continued its forward momentum in October 2025, with strong gains in closed sales across both single-family homes and condos/townhomes. Inventory continues to rise while prices show moderate adjustments — key signs that the market is moving toward a more balanced and buyer-friendly environment.

Overall, 1,454 properties sold for $695 million in Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, Captiva, Estero, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Miromar Lakes, Sanibel, and surrounding areas during the month. 

The luxury market remained strong in October, with 85 properties sold at or above $1 million, a slight increase from 81 sales in September. The highest-priced sale was a single-family waterfront home on Bonita Beach, which sold for $9.7 million.

Additionally, thirty percent of the top 10 sales in the county were in golf communities. Luxury golf homes were sold in Renaissance, West Bay, and Miromar Lakes, with prices ranging from $2,300,000 to $2,950,000.

Overall inventory ended the month with 11,869 properties for sale, up from 11,076 properties during the prior month. As we head into season, we anticipate an increase in inventory, giving buyers even more options.

home buyers

For Buyers:

This is one of the best environments we’ve seen in years:

  • More listings

  • More time to shop

  • More negotiating power

  • Softer prices

If you’re considering a move in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero, or Sanibel/Captiva, now is the time to explore the market.

For Sellers:

Homes are still selling — and often faster when priced strategically.
Updated properties in desirable neighborhoods and golf communities continue to attract strong interest, particularly from out-of-state cash buyers.

If you’re thinking about selling, professional pricing guidance and strong marketing are essential to stand out in a growing inventory landscape.
