Nov. Housing Market Report

Lee County Nov. Housing Market Report

Nov. Housing Market ReportThe Nov. housing market report for Lee County showed 1,305 properties sold for just over $671 Million during the month. Year to date, property sales have surpassed $9.6 Billion in Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, Captiva, Estero, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Miromar Lakes, Sanibel, and surrounding areas.

The luxury market saw 89 properties sold at or above $1 Million in November up from 85 sales in October. The highest-priced sale was a single-family home on Sanibel for $6,575,000.

Demand for Florida real estate remains strong, as evidenced by the state’s continued population growth. According to the Legislature’s Office of Economic and Demographic Research, Florida’s population rose by 1.61% up to 22.6 million residents as of April.

Additionally, baby boomers continue to retire in Florida. According to a recent study by SmartAsset, three of the top five cities for retirees are in Florida including Cape Coral. Why does Florida remain popular? Plenty of sunshine and no income tax make the state a favorite destination among boomers.

We will help provide you with a list of the top private golf communities which match your lifestyle.
