Over the recorded series, Riva Del Lago’s median sold price moved from $272,750 (2014) to $390,000 (12 months ending 2026-07-29) — +43% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2014 at $272,750. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Riva Del Lago’s median moved +42% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2024 peak of $523,000, the current median stands at -25%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 15 closings a year (10-yr average 9.5). With roughly 9.5 closings a year, Riva Del Lago’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: 100% condominium, with a median of 1,898 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $206 in the current window.
Of the 18 recorded Riva Del Lago closings since 2024, half landed between $400,000 and $618,250 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $360,000 and the highest $935,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

|---|---|---|
| Under $375,000 | 2 (11%) | |
| $375,000 – $483,333 | 6 (33%) | |

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 ($306 vs $272) — 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 1,506–1,862 sq ft | $272 | $425,000 | $360,000 – $523,000 | 6 |
| Mid-size homes 1,862–1,898 sq ft | $219 | $412,500 | $360,000 – $505,000 | 6 |
| Larger homes 2,185–3,877 sq ft | $306 | $705,000 | $490,000 – $935,000 | 6 |

At Riva Del Lago’s $390,000 median and Lee County’s adopted 15.97 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $6,230 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $5,560 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.
