Homes for Sale in Fort Myers, FL

Catalina Isles market snapshot (as of July 29, 2026): the median sale price is about $495K ($185 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 47 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is up 13% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level fgc closed sales (9 closings in the current window).

Catalina Isles is a community of 281 homes in Fort Myers, Lee County, built between 2006 and 2012 (median 2007), with a median living area of about 3,734 square feet. 70% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Catalina Isles sits in Fort Myers, Lee County, and is built almost entirely within a single construction window — 2006 to 2012 — which gives the community a consistent architectural age even though individual home condition varies. At 281 homes total, it's a small enough pool that per-home data carries real weight in any pricing decision.

The math in Catalina Isles is straightforward once you separate size from price. A median living area of 3,734 square feet against a $495,000 median price works out to $184.84 per square foot — a figure that reads low mainly because the homes themselves are large, not because the community is undervalued. Two houses with the same square footage can land far apart in final price depending on age of finishes, roof and mechanical condition, and how much of that footprint is truly livable versus bonus space.

Roughly seven in ten homes here carry a homestead exemption, which tends to signal longer average hold periods and less pure investor or short-term turnover in the inventory. Combined with a median 47 days on market, that points to a community where well-priced, well-maintained listings move at a reasonable pace, but overpriced or deferred-maintenance homes will sit. No community amenities are currently identified in MLS data for Catalina Isles, so buyers should not assume clubhouse, pool, or gated features are included — verify anything of that nature directly against the specific listing.

With only 281 homes and a handful of closings in any given window, Catalina Isles doesn't generate the volume of comparable sales that make pricing easy to eyeball. We track the closings as they happen, price condition and square footage against the current $184.84 per-square-foot baseline, and tell you plainly where a listing sits relative to what's actually closing — not what a broad Fort Myers average suggests.
