Realtor Jorge Barrera from Premiere Plus Realty has shared new data he compiled that shows the real estate activity on Fort Myers Beach has been relatively quiet as of late.
Starting with single family homes there were 201 homes on the market in the month of May this year. In March and April there were 213 Fort Myers Beach single-family homes for sale, more than any other month in the last 5 years. From January through May of this year, 38 homes have been sold. In 2023, during those same 5 months, 119 homes were sold. For the year, in 2023, 179 homes were sold. In 2024, 70 were sold. 2021 was the best year for sales, over the last 5 years, with 192 homes sold.
Barrera says buyers indecisiveness is due in part because of hurricane’s Helene and Milton. “It was the last straw for many residents and the number of listings went way up, while buyer confidence went down for the same reason.”
Jorge also analyzed vacant lots on Fort Myers Beach. He found there are 132 vacant lots on the market as of June, 2025 with only 8 lots being sold so far this year. Back in 2023, 66 vacant lots were sold. Last year 32 were sold.
And through the month of May there are about 316 condos/villas/townhouses on the market on Fort Myers Beach. A total of 58 have been sold so far this year. In 2020, 320 were sold. In 2021, 401 were sold. In 2022, 232 were sold, In 2023, 197 were sold. Last year 166 were sold.
