Whose market is it?
At 20.4 months of supply this is firmly a buyers' market. There is nearly a year's worth of inventory, and anything overpriced will sit there all of it.
Half of everything sold here went under contract inside 106 days, and the typical sale closed at 92.1% of what it was asking.
The middle half of sales landed between $500,000 and $1,675,000. Below $270,000 and above $5,950,000 you are into the ends of the market, where the usual rules stop applying.
What sells here
Share of the last year's sales.
the typical home sold was built in 1979 and worked out at about $747 a square foot. 71% of sales were waterfront and 29% had a pool.
Before you buy here
A median price tells you very little about what a particular house will cost you to keep. Taxes reassess when you buy, insurance depends on the roof and the flood zone, and both are bigger levers than the price.

Sanibel, Captiva, Fort Myers Beach and Bonita Beach are worth looking at side by side, because they are not behaving the same way at all.

Every figure on this page is an aggregate from Florida Gulf Coast Multiple Listing Service data covering the last twelve months of closed sales, filtered to homes. Information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed accurate by the MLS. None of it is an appraisal, and a median is not a valuation of any particular property. Rebuilt 2026-08-26.
