Over the recorded series, Riverwind Cove’s median sold price moved from $440,000 (2015) to $740,000 (12 months ending 2026-07-29) — +68% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2015 at $440,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Riverwind Cove’s median moved +132% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2025 peak of $1,000,000, the current median stands at -26%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 1 to 10 closings a year (10-yr average 5.3). With roughly 5.3 closings a year, Riverwind Cove’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% single-family residence, with a median of 2,825 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $248 in the current window.
Of the 15 recorded Riverwind Cove closings since 2024, half landed between $630,000 and $1,025,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $555,000 and the highest $2,350,000. 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 $550,000 | 0 (0%) | |
| $550,000 – $933,333 | 9 (60%) | |
| $933,333 – $1,316,667 | 3 (20%) | |
| $1,316,667 – $1,700,000 | 1 (7%) | |
| None and up | 2 (13%) |
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. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($315 vs $248) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 1,964–2,573 sq ft | $315 | $620,000 | $555,000 – $1,000,000 | 5 |
| Mid-size homes 2,682–3,112 sq ft | $262 | $740,000 | $560,000 – $1,900,000 | 5 |
| Larger homes 3,126–5,220 sq ft | $248 | $1,050,000 | $774,000 – $2,350,000 | 5 |
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-02: 4 active listings (plus 1 pending) asking from $489,999 to $1,325,000, median $910,450; 0 of 4 have been on the market over 60 days (median 0 days so far); the homes listed or recently sold were built between 1999 and 2023 (median 2005); 5 of 5 listed or recently sold homes report an HOA, median $97/mo; none of the 3 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 13 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 Riverwind Cove listings →
At Riverwind Cove’s $740,000 median and Lee County’s adopted 15.97 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $11,820 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $11,150 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 Riverwind Cove reads 42/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
