The market in context

These come from outside sources, not from our MLS records. We keep them separate so you can see where an independent series agrees with ours and where it does not.

Homes for sale and homes going under contract

Both lines are counted from Redfin's county file: active listings, and pending sales, contracts signed that month. Neither is an estimate of buyers. The chart's source line carries the latest month in the file. These figures are Redfin's, not computed from our MLS feeds.

In 2026-07, 11,634 homes were listed for sale across the Fort Myers market and 1,859 went under contract. A year earlier the counts were 14,112 and 1,798, so homes for sale are down 17.6% and contracts are up 3.4% over twelve months. Fewer homes and more contracts is the shape of a market tightening toward sellers.

What renters are asked to pay

Typical ASKED rent for units listed on Zillow (Zillow Observed Rent Index), by county, monthly. Asking rent is what new listings seek, not what sitting tenants pay; renewals are invisible to it. These figures are Zillow's, not computed from our MLS feeds.

Lee asks $1,864, -1.2% in a year and 47% above 2019 levels. Asking rent describes new listings, not renewals, so a flat or falling line here reaches sitting tenants slowly and shows up first in concessions on new leases.
