As of September 2026, Forest Village in Fort Myers, FL has 2 homes for sale. Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-12, 6 recorded sales closed at a median of $121,000, $93 per square foot, a median 58 days on market, sellers accepting 82% of original asking. At the median price and Lee County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.97 mills, annual property tax runs about $1,930 ($1,270 with the full homestead exemption).
Forest Village is trading at a median of $121,000, with price per square foot sitting at $92.86 — both figures well below what most of the broader Fort Myers market is producing right now. That combination points to a segment of the market priced for value rather than for size or finish, and it means condition and unit specifics will move the needle on any given sale more than location prestige will.
The number that deserves the most scrutiny here is the 6 closings behind this snapshot. That is a thin sample, and it's exactly why the year-over-year swing of -33.5% should be read as directional, not definitive. A handful of transactions can move a median significantly in either direction. Anyone pricing a listing or structuring an offer here needs someone reading the individual comps line by line, not just the headline stat.
The 60-Second Overview
Forest Village market snapshot (as of September 12, 2026): the median sale price is about $121K ($93 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 59 days on market for closed sales.
Forest Village sits in the lower-price tier of the Fort Myers market, with a median sale price of $121,000 built on a very small closings sample — six transactions in the current window. That thin data set, paired with a steep year-over-year shift, makes this a market where individual property condition and pricing strategy matter more than broad trend lines.
Who Forest Village is best for.
Best for
- A buyer prioritizing a low entry price over community amenities
- An investor comfortable underwriting a thin-comp market with hands-on due diligence
- A buyer who wants direct control over renovation or condition upside at a lower basis
Probably not for
- A buyer who wants clubhouse, pool, or organized amenity access included
- A buyer relying on a deep, stable set of recent comps to validate value
- A buyer expecting a fast-moving market with quick turnaround on offers

The Forest Village buying strategy.
If we were buying in Forest Village 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 Forest Village.
Reading a Thin Market Correctly
With only 6 closings feeding this snapshot, Forest Village's numbers should be treated as a signal to investigate further, not a verdict on the community. The median price of $121,000 and per-square-foot figure of $92.86 describe a market where homes are changing hands at accessible price points — but with so few sales, one or two unusual transactions (a distressed sale, a rehab, an off-condition unit) can swing the median hard in either direction.
The median days on market of just under 60 suggests these listings are not moving in a hurry, which is consistent with a smaller buyer pool testing price points before committing. No community amenities were identified from current MLS listings, so buyers evaluating Forest Village should expect to focus their comparison on the unit itself — layout, condition, and location within the community — rather than shared recreational features.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Forest Village. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A market built on 6 closings is not a market you price by formula. Momentum's approach is to pull the underlying comps individually, weigh condition and terms transaction by transaction, and build a pricing or offer strategy that reflects what's actually happened here recently — not what a thin aggregate implies.
