How is the Lee County ZIP heat map built?
The Market Pulse heat map covers all residential closings (houses, condos, villas and townhomes) from August through October 2026 in ZIPs with at least 15 sales. For each ZIP it reports closings, median sale price, median days on market and the share of homes that sold above list price. The 31 Lee County ZIPs on the map account for 4,520 closings over the three months. ZIPs follow Census ZCTA boundaries, and place names follow the report.

The slowest three ZIPs sit on or beside the Gulf: Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach and the coastal Bonita Springs ZIP 34134. ZIP 33908, which runs along the Caloosahatchee and the bay toward the islands, closed 231 homes, the busiest of the slow group, in 82 days. Our earlier piece on Lee County million-dollar homes looks at supply in several of these coastal areas.
Where do sales most often close above list price?
Lehigh Acres stands out. ZIP 33971 had the highest share of sales above list price in Lee County, 20.7%, even though its median took 65 days. Lehigh's 33974 followed at 14.1% and 33972 at 12.4%, all at medians between $296,000 and $340,000. In Cape Coral, 33990 led at 8.8%. No ZIP with a median above $500,000 topped 6.1%. A slow median and a high over-list share can sit side by side when some homes sell above asking quickly while others sit, which the median alone does not show.

Limitations
ZIP figures are trailing three months (August to October 2026), all residential property types combined, for ZIPs with at least 15 closings, using Census ZCTA boundaries; a ZIP can cross city lines, and ZIP 33955, which straddles Lee and Charlotte counties, is left out of the Lee counts here. A ZIP's median mixes houses and condos, so differences in pace partly reflect property type. The feed carries no year-earlier comparison, no active-listing or price-cut counts and no cash share for this edition. Lee listings placed only in other MLSs are not counted. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
