Inventory sits at 1.3 months of supply — tight by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark, and 22% of listed homes are already under contract. Prices are down 5.0% versus the prior year, but sellers are still collecting 91.6% of asking. Taken together, the data points to a broadly balanced market where preparation decides who wins.
Who has leverage right now
Leverage scores are derived from the Momentum Score (supply, demand, speed, pricing power, and trend). Right now the data favors neither side decisively.
- Prices — more likely to stabilize than fall sharply. Supply remains below balanced levels even as prices soften; without a meaningful inventory build, further declines tend to be shallow.
- Inventory — tightening over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
- Negotiating power — buyers gain ground as 22% of inventory sits under contract.
- Mortgage sensitivity — at 4.6× income, this market is moderately sensitive to rate moves; rate relief tends to show up in demand here quickly.

One inventory number hides four different markets
Months of supply = active listings ÷ monthly sales pace, bucketing communities by their recent median. 3–6 months is the balanced band.

More on Fort Myers
Put this data to work
The questions people actually ask
Should I buy a house in Fort Myers right now?
The data says conditions currently favor neither side decisively in Fort Myers — the Momentum Score reads 55/100 with 1.3 months of supply. For buyers that means preparation over hesitation: well-priced homes still move fast, but there is more room to negotiate than a year ago. The right timing always depends on your rate, your equity, and how long you plan to stay — not just the market.
Is Fort Myers becoming more affordable?
Yes, modestly — the median sale price in Fort Myers is $345,000, down 5.0% versus the prior year, while sellers still capture 91.6% of asking price. Softening prices plus normal-length marketing times mean affordability is improving at the margin, though financing costs matter more than list prices for most monthly payments.
Where are prices falling fastest in Fort Myers?
Among tracked communities with enough sales to measure, the sharpest 1-year median declines are Island Park Village (-53%); Sutton Walk (-43%); Seven Lakes (-36%). Note that community-level medians move on small sale counts — a few high- or low-end closings can swing them — so treat these as leads for a comp analysis, not verdicts.
Which Fort Myers neighborhoods are most competitive?
Measured by speed of sale, the fastest-moving tracked communities right now are Heritage Palms Estates (5 days); Whiskey Creek (6 days); Briarcliff (7 days) — homes there go under contract well ahead of the market-wide pace of 64 days.
How does Fort Myers compare to the rest of Lee County?
Fort Myers's median of $345,000 runs 9% below the county-wide median of $379,025, and homes here take 64 days to go under contract versus 60 county-wide.
