Sunset Trace (Estero, FL): 3 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-07-29, 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 91.7% of original asking; the median sale took 113 days (window ending 2026-07-29).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $1,115,000 | $421 | 113 | 91.7% | 3 |

Over the recorded series, Sunset Trace’s median sold price moved from $719,325 (2014) to $1,115,000 (12 months ending 2026-07-29) — +55% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2014 at $719,325. Against the 2025 peak of $1,812,500, the current median stands at -38%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 10 closings a year (10-yr average 3.5). With roughly 3.5 closings a year, Sunset Trace’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 2,651 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $421 in the current window.
At Sunset Trace’s $1,115,000 median and Lee County’s adopted 15.97 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $17,810 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $17,140 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.
Cash bought 67% of recorded Sunset Trace sales in the window ending 2026-07 (2 of 3) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. The table above is the closed-sale record to price a Sunset Trace home against; asking prices are an opening position, recorded closings are the value.

Communities buyers shopping Sunset Trace are also weighing (same ZIP), 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.
