Imperial Shores (Bonita Springs, FL): 17 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-07-29, a 13-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.

Over the recorded series, Imperial Shores’s median sold price moved from $350,000 (2014) to $1,067,500 (12 months ending 2026-07-29) — +205% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2014 at $350,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Imperial Shores’s median moved +104% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2023 peak of $1,200,000, the current median stands at -11%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 2 to 32 closings a year (10-yr average 14.8). With roughly 14.8 closings a year, Imperial Shores’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.
What actually trades here: 95% single-family residence, 3% duplex, 2% attached, with a median of 2,200 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $420 in the current window.
Of the 36 recorded Imperial Shores closings since 2024, half landed between $570,000 and $1,545,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $387,000 and the highest $2,850,000. 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 $475,000 | 5 (14%) | |
| $475,000 – $1,083,333 | 16 (44%) | |
| $1,083,333 – $1,691,667 | 8 (22%) | |
| $1,691,667 – $2,300,000 | 3 (8%) | |
| None and up | 4 (11%) |
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 ($563 vs $392) — 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 1,033–1,634 sq ft | $392 | $500,000 | $387,000 – $1,150,000 | 12 |
| Mid-size homes 1,771–2,548 sq ft | $446 | $862,500 | $510,000 – $1,650,000 | 12 |
| Larger homes 2,733–4,820 sq ft | $563 | $2,125,000 | $650,000 – $2,850,000 | 12 |
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-02: 12 active listings (plus 4 pending) asking from $549,900 to $4,985,000, median $1,186,500; 9 of 12 have been on the market over 60 days (median 103 days so far); the homes listed or recently sold were built between 1962 and 2026 (median 1991), 2 of them new construction; 13 of 13 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sit inside a FEMA special flood hazard zone (A/V), which buyers’ lenders will price into insurance; median elevation 5 ft. For a seller this is the competition a buyer will tour alongside your home; for a buyer, the stale share is where negotiating room usually is. See the current Imperial Shores listings →
At Imperial Shores’s $1,067,500 median and Lee County’s adopted 15.97 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $17,050 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $16,380 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.
Momentum’s market-heat index for Imperial Shores reads 33/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
