Over the recorded series, Country Lakes’s median sold price moved from $54,000 (2015) to $137,500 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +155% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2015 at $54,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Country Lakes’s median moved +89% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2023 peak of $219,900, the current median stands at -37%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 2 to 9 closings a year (10-yr average 6.7). With roughly 6.7 closings a year, Country Lakes’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.
Of the 17 recorded Country Lakes closings since 2024, half landed between $130,000 and $189,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $65,000 and the highest $260,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.
| Sold price band | Share of closings | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Under $100,000 | 3 (18%) | |
| $100,000 – $141,667 | 5 (29%) | |
| $141,667 – $183,333 | 3 (18%) | |
| $183,333 – $225,000 | 4 (24%) | |
| None and up | 2 (12%) |
The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Larger homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than smaller ones ($124 vs $118) — less common, and usually a sign of newer or upgraded product at the top of the range.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 864–1,100 sq ft | $118 | $130,000 | $65,000 – $185,000 | 5 |
| Mid-size homes 1,224–1,359 sq ft | $114 | $150,000 | $135,000 – $190,000 | 5 |
| Larger homes 1,402–1,608 sq ft | $124 | $189,000 | $97,000 – $260,000 | 7 |
At Country Lakes’s $137,500 median and Lee County’s adopted 15.97 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $2,200 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $1,530 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 $259,000 against the $137,500 recorded sold median (+88%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. Demand check: 0% of Country Lakes’s listings are under contract, against 18% for ZIP 33905 and 18% for Lee County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Momentum’s market-heat index for Country Lakes reads 21/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
With asking prices running +88% over the recorded sold median, a Country Lakes 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.
