June Housing Update
June Housing Update for Lee County
The Lee County June housing update showed there was more than $1.2 Billion in properties closed during June, up from $591 Million last year. The housing market continued to show a large increase in closed sales, up 43.4 percent over last June, for both single family homes and condos in Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers.
Although inventory of homes for sale dropped 77.7 percent, new listings are actually up 9.4 percent compared to the same time frame last year. While new properties were added daily during the month, the demand remained higher than the market was able to accommodate.
Also, due to the continued significant buyer demand combined with so few properties for sale, home values continue to appreciate. As such, sellers continued to sell their homes at list price or close to list price for their homes. So, the bottom line is it remains a seller’s market.
If you are considering selling, you are in the driver’s seat. Contact us today to learn about your home’s value in today’s market. It may be more than you realize.

Similar to Naples and other areas of the country, we continued to see a shortage in inventory. However, on a positive note, new listings increased for the third straight month. Inventory of single family homes remains low and combined with the high buyer demand, home prices continue to rise. The median sales price rose 36 percent in June compared to the same time last year.
Seller’s continue to have the advantage in the sales process. If you are considering buying a property, patience and persistence is the key to finding a property. New listings are hitting the market every day, we can help you with automatic property alerts.
Once you find a property, you’ll need to be prepared to move quickly and anticipate a multiple offer situation. We will help you submit a competitive offer to give you the best chance to secure a contract on the home.
If you are selling your home, 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.

- Available inventory of condos ended June with a less than 1 month supply of properties available for sale which was an 86 percent decline.
Similar to the last couple of months, condo closings increased significantly during the month. However, due to the low inventory, the number of properties going to contract slowed. Due to the low inventory and high buyer demand, the median sales price continued its upward trend. The median sales price increased from $192,000 up to $255,000 which represents a 32.8 percent increase compared to June of last year.
Bottom line, it remains a seller’s market for both condos and single family homes. Are you considering selling? Let’s connect!
