Captains Bay South (Fort Myers Beach, FL): 4 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, an 8-year price record, and the year-by-year record — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 84.5% of original asking; the median sale took 125 days (window ending 2026-09-20).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $350,000 | $326 | 125 | 84.5% | 4 |
| 2024 | $540,000 | $472 | 32 | 94.3% | 4 |

Over the recorded series, Captains Bay South’s median sold price moved from $265,000 (2014) to $350,000 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +32% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2014 at $265,000. Against the 2024 peak of $540,000, the current median stands at -35%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 4 closings a year (10-yr average 2.9). With roughly 2.9 closings a year, Captains Bay South’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.
At Captains Bay South’s $350,000 median and Lee County’s adopted 15.97 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,590 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,920 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Lee County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $439,900 against the $350,000 recorded sold median (+26%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. Demand check: 0% of Captains Bay South’s listings are under contract, against 8% for ZIP 33931 and 18% for Lee County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information.
With asking prices running +26% over the recorded sold median, a Captains Bay South listing priced against the closed record above stands out against its competition; one priced against the asking crowd joins the statewide list of homes that never sold.
