Market Heat
Daughtreys Creek is a small, low-turnover pocket in North Fort Myers — 148 homes total, with only 9 closings in the most recent window. That thin trading volume means each sale carries outsized weight on the numbers, and it also means pricing here is set home by home rather than by a deep, liquid comp set.
The median sits at $395,000, or about $187.73 per square foot, with the typical listing spending just over 53 days on market before going under contract. Year-over-year the median has pulled back 11.2%, and the market heat score of 29 points to a buyer-favorable posture right now — sellers who price realistically and account for condition are the ones getting deals done.

The 60-Second Overview
Daughtreys Creek market snapshot (as of July 29, 2026): the median sale price is about $395K ($188 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 53 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is down 11% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level fgc closed sales (9 closings in the current window).
Daughtreys Creek is a community of 148 homes in North Fort Myers, Lee County, built between 1977 and 2023 (median 1987.0), with a median living area of about 4,104 square feet. 83% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Homes here span construction from 1977 to 2023, with a median year built of 1987, so buyers are looking at a mix of original-condition and updated properties rather than a uniform build era.
Who Daughtreys Creek is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want to negotiate in a market currently favoring buyers, with price already down year-over-year
- Buyers comfortable doing home-specific diligence rather than relying on a thick, fast-moving comp set
- Buyers targeting the median price point of $395,000 who are flexible on the age and condition of the home
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a large, liquid market with frequent recent sales to benchmark against
- Buyers seeking a home built well after the 1987 median without expecting to pay a premium for it
- Sellers expecting rising prices in the near term, given the current year-over-year decline and low heat score

The Daughtreys Creek buying strategy.
If we were buying in Daughtreys Creek 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 Daughtreys Creek.
A thin market with room to negotiate
With only 9 closings in the tracked window against 148 total homes, Daughtreys Creek does not turn over quickly. That scarcity of recent sales makes it harder to lean on a tight comp range — condition, lot position, and how a given home has been maintained since its 1987 median build year will do more to set price than the broader market trend.
The 11.2% year-over-year decline in median price, paired with a heat score of 29, tells a consistent story: this is not a market where sellers can expect competing offers to drive price up. Homestead exemptions cover roughly 83% of homes, suggesting a base of longer-held properties rather than a market dominated by recent flips or investor turnover — which can mean more deferred maintenance in some cases, but also more room to negotiate on move-in-ready homes.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Daughtreys Creek. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (5.9). Basis: Recent Direction -11.2% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 83% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 94.2% sale-to-list.

Why work with Momentum here
In a market this thin, the handful of comps that exist need careful reading rather than a quick pull from an automated report. We track how the 53-day median days-on-market breaks down between homes that are priced right from day one and those that sit — and we help buyers and sellers understand which side of that line a given listing falls on before it becomes a negotiating problem.
