Over the recorded series, Paradise Shores’s median sold price moved from $147,000 (2015) to $457,500 (12 months ending 2026-07-29) — +211% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2015 at $147,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Paradise Shores’s median moved +71% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2025 peak of $607,000, the current median stands at -25%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 2 to 8 closings a year (10-yr average 5.2). With roughly 5.2 closings a year, Paradise 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, 5% attached, with a median of 1,798 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $231 in the current window.
Of the 13 recorded Paradise Shores closings since 2024, half landed between $280,000 and $505,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $147,000 and the highest $879,900. 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 $225,000 | 2 (15%) | |
| $225,000 – $350,000 | 2 (15%) | |
| $350,000 – $475,000 | 4 (31%) | |
| $475,000 – $600,000 | 3 (23%) | |
| None and up | 2 (15%) |

At Paradise Shores’s $457,500 median and Lee County’s adopted 15.97 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $7,310 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $6,640 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 Paradise Shores reads 19/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
