The Fort Myers housing market is shifting as home prices decline and sales pick up, driven by an oversupply of homes and condos. FortMyersAgent.com offers real-time access to more than 17,000 listings across Fort Myers and neighboring areas, providing buyers with insight into this changing landscape.

Market Trends and Pricing

  • After a decade of steady price increases, including a pandemic-fueled double-digit surge, Fort Myers is experiencing a notable price correction.

  • Home sales surged nearly 50% from February to April, marking two consecutive months of growth.

  • The median home price dropped from a peak of $359,500 in October 2022 to $339,000 in April 2025.

  • Fort Myers Beach saw some homes sell at 40-50% below original asking prices.

Condo Market Insights

  • Potential buyers should research condo fees and market conditions carefully; FortMyersAgent.com provides updated news and analysis on this segment.

Factors Impacting the Market
