🧠 What Does It All Mean?

Single Family Homes → The Fort Myers single-family market is active and competitive. With a significant increase in sales and new listings, and homes selling faster, buyers need to be prepared to move quickly. The slight dip in prices could present a great opportunity for those ready to buy.

Condos/Townhomes → The condo and townhouse market in Fort Myers is also experiencing a seasonal surge. The increase in new listings provides more options for buyers, but the fast pace of sales means that good properties won't be on the market for long. It's a great time for buyers to find a property before the market gets even more competitive.

👉 The takeaway: Fort Myers is buzzing with real estate activity. Both the single-family and condo markets are showing strong signs of a busy season ahead. With more listings coming on the market and homes selling quickly, it's an exciting time for both buyers and sellers in Fort Myers.
