February Southwest Florida Real Estate Outlook

February 5, 2021 |

Welcome to season in Southwest Florida!  Businesses have found a way to safely welcome back our winter visitors and we’re even looking forward to Spring Training starting up again soon.We’ve had another record-breaking month for real estate.  In January, 487 homes closed in Cape Coral.  Overall, Lee County saw just under 1,750 home and condo closings.  The average sales price of these homes is up more than 30% since 2019.  Buyers continue to take advantage of the lowest mortgage rates in decades.  With the Fed’s promise to keep interest rates low it doesn’t appear that will change anytime soon.

On the flip side, the number of available homes continues to drop down more than 50% year over year.  If you’re thinking about selling, then we have buyers ready to buy and it’s not too late.  Home values continue to rise with the shortage of inventory of homes on the market.  There are more buyers than sellers right now.  That puts sellers in a great position!  We can provide you with a FREE MARKET ANALYSIS.  Now is a great time to sell, so let’s talk!

Here’s a snapshot of what’s happened in the last 7 days in our local market:

  • New Listings –  793
  • Sold Listings –  1006
  • Pending Sales –  1589
  • Price Decrease – 389
  • Price Increase –  253
