Market Heat

Over the 12 months ending 2026-07-29, 5 recorded sales closed at a median of $370,000, $200 per square foot, a median 15 days on market, sellers accepting 97% of original asking (-8% versus the prior year). At the median price and Lee County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.97 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,910 ($5,240 with the full homestead exemption).
Chesapeake Cove is trading at a median of $370,000, or roughly $199.72 per square foot, with a year-over-year change of -7.5%. That pullback, paired with a median of just 15 days on market, tells a specific story: homes that are priced right are moving fast, and the softer median reflects mix and condition more than a stalling market.
With only 5 closings in the current window, treat any single data point here as directional, not definitive. A market heat score of 53 puts this squarely in balanced territory — not a bidding-war environment, but not a buyer's market either. Sellers should price to the comp, not to last year's number; buyers should move decisively once they find the right unit, because the fast median DOM suggests well-priced listings do not linger.

🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($370K) is down 7.5% from the prior 12 months ($400K). With about a dozen sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Florida Gulf Coast MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending July 29. Confidence: Low (5 and 7 sales in the two windows).

The 60-Second Overview
Chesapeake Cove market snapshot (as of July 29, 2026): the median sale price is about $370K ($200 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 15 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is down 8% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level Florida Gulf Coast MLS closed sales (5 closings in the current window).
Chesapeake Cove is a smaller-volume corner of the Bonita Springs market in Lee County, where recent closings suggest a market recalibrating rather than one in freefall — quick sales alongside a softer year-over-year price line.
Who Chesapeake Cove is best for.
Best for
- A buyer who has done comp research and is ready to move quickly once the right listing appears
- A buyer prioritizing per-square-foot value over a large, established amenity package
- A seller prepared to price against current, not year-ago, comps to keep pace with the 15-day median
Probably not for
- A buyer who wants a large data set of recent sales before committing to an offer price
- A buyer specifically shopping for a community with on-site recreational amenities
- A seller expecting last year's pricing trend to hold given the -7.5% year-over-year shift
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 29 of each year, from record-level Florida Gulf Coast MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($370K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($400K) IS the -7.5% one-year change.
Windows contain 0 to 18 sales each (5 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings.

The Chesapeake Cove buying strategy.
If we were buying in Chesapeake Cove today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Chesapeake Cove.
Small Sample, Fast Sales
The headline number to watch here is the gap between median days on market and the year-over-year price shift. Fifteen days is a quick turn by most measures, which usually signals demand is present. The -7.5% annual change alongside that speed points to a market where pricing has adjusted downward to meet where buyers actually are, and once it does, homes clear.
The per-square-foot figure, just under $200, gives a cleaner read on value than the median price alone, since the closings window is thin at five transactions. No community amenities were identified from current MLS listings, so whatever draws buyers to Chesapeake Cove is coming from the home and its immediate location rather than a shared clubhouse, gate, or recreational package — worth confirming property by property rather than assuming.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Chesapeake Cove. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A five-closing window means the comps are thin and easy to misread — we pull the actual recent sales, not just the median, before we advise on price. In a market moving this fast on the days-on-market side, having someone who can move with equal speed on paperwork and showings matters as much as the number itself.
