Lee County real estate market statistics

Buyers

Tax Credit for First Time Home Buyers Tax credit for first time home buyers is a great incentive to purchase a home in SW Florida.

Real Estate Market

The Lee County Florida housing market is on a positive trend. Whether you are a first time home buyer or you are looking to purchase a second home, the largest increase in sales is mainly from buyers taking advantage of the lower pricing and abundance of homes in Lee County to choose from. With the average Lee County home sitting on the market for upwards of 120 days, buyers have the upper hand in negotiating final pricing that is around 90% of the already low asking price. Lee County, with its world-class beaches, including Sanibel and Captiva Island, Bonita and Ft. Myers Beach, its international airport with direct flights to and from Europe, as well as its exceptional university located just south of Ft. Myers makes purchasing a home even…
