Pricing Trends Vary by Property Type

The median percent of last list price was 96.8 percent, compared with 96.7 percent a year earlier. This means the typical closed property sold at just under 97 percent of its final asking price.

Properties Are Selling Faster

The Bonnycastle Perspective

August brought modest year over year gains in closed sales, pending sales, new listings, and median pricing across Lee County, while median market time declined. The numbers point to an active market, but individual results can look very different depending on property type, location, condition, and pricing. Buyers and sellers should consider those factors alongside countywide statistics when evaluating a specific property.
