Island Of Happiness (Lehigh Acres, FL): 5 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 5-year price record, and the year-by-year record — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, median closings ran near original asking (100.0%); the median sale took 45 days; new construction was 80.0% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-09-20).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $309,000 | $220 | 45 | 100.0% | 5 |
| 2021 | $265,000 | $138 | 15 | 100.0% | 5 |
| 2020 | $230,000 | $131 | 55 | 83.7% | 3 |
| 2019 | $166,000 | $118 | 15 | 95.0% | 3 |
| 2016 | $170,500 | $81 | 67 | 86.0% | 4 |
Over the recorded series, Island Of Happiness’s median sold price moved from $170,500 (2016) to $309,000 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +81% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-10-01: 5 active listings (plus 0 pending) asking from $259,900 to $533,000, median $340,000; 3 of 5 have been on the market over 60 days (median 65 days so far); the homes listed or recently sold were built between 2000 and 2026 (median 2026), 4 of them new construction; 1 of 5 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 22 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 Island Of Happiness listings →
At Island Of Happiness’s $309,000 median and Lee County’s adopted 15.97 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,930 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,270 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 $340,000 against the $309,000 recorded sold median (+10%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. Demand check: 0% of Island Of Happiness’s listings are under contract, against 19% for ZIP 33936 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 +10% over the recorded sold median, a Island Of Happiness 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.
