River Oaks (Alva, FL): 3 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 9-year price record, and the year-by-year record — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.

In the current window, sellers accepted a median 91.5% of original asking; the median sale took 60 days (window ending 2026-09-20).

The 9-year recorded price history

Over the recorded series, River Oaks’s median sold price moved from $172,600 (2015) to $540,000 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +213% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.

The last decade in River Oaks, briefly

The recorded series starts in 2015 at $172,600. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 16 closings a year (10-yr average 4.4). With roughly 4.4 closings a year, River Oaks’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.

At River Oaks’s $540,000 median and Lee County’s adopted 15.97 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $8,620 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $7,960 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.

Selling in River Oaks right now: what the record says

Current asking prices run a median $589,000 against the $540,000 recorded sold median (+9%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. Demand check: 0% of River Oaks’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 River Oaks reads 43/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).

With asking prices running +9% over the recorded sold median, a River Oaks 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.

How River Oaks compares with its neighbors

Communities buyers shopping River Oaks are also weighing (nearest by map distance), each on its own recorded 12-month closings. A median well above the neighbors is a ceiling to price against; well below is where the value argument lives.
