April in Southwest Florida marks the last month of our peak season, as perfect weather, bustling activity from "snowbirds," and motivated buyers create a dynamic real estate environment. While national headlines continue to discuss market adjustments, it's important to focus on what's happening locally. Following a period of rapid expansion, the market has found its footing: prices have stabilized, insurance costs have leveled off, and we're seeing more informed buyers navigating a healthier inventory landscape.

But the local North Fort Myers numbers paint the true picture...
