✅ Takeaway: The Fort Myers Beach condo and townhouse market in August 2025 shows a significant increase in closed sales units and new listings compared to August 2024. Median sales price and price per square foot have also increased. Active inventory is up, but months of supply is down, indicating a faster-moving market than single-family homes, with stronger buyer activity and higher prices.

🧠 What Does It All Mean?

Single Family Homes = Higher prices, increased inventory, and longer days on market suggest a shift towards a more balanced market where buyers have more options but face higher costs.

Condos/Townhomes = Stronger sales activity, increased new listings, and higher prices indicate a robust market with continued demand, even with increased inventory. The lower months of supply compared to single-family homes suggests a faster-paced market for condos and townhomes.

👉 The takeaway: For buyers, the Fort Myers Beach market presents a nuanced picture. Single-family homes offer more inventory and negotiation potential due to longer market times, despite higher prices. Condos and townhomes, while also seeing price increases, are moving faster, indicating strong demand. Understanding these distinct trends is key to making an informed decision this summer.
