Median days on market

Cape Coral was built around water, and it shows — more than 400 miles of navigable canals thread through the city, which is why so many buyers come here chasing waterfront homes with a boat lift out back. This is a Southwest Florida city of single-family neighborhoods, from the older streets near Bimini Basin to newer pockets like Bella Vida and Cape Harbour, with golf at Coral Oaks Golf Course and easy access across Lee County.

Right now there are 401 active listings with a median list price of $442,500, and the market is giving buyers a little more room than it did a couple of years back. Homes are taking a median of 51 days to sell and sellers are landing about 97% of asking, so there's space to negotiate without expecting a fire sale. With 112 new construction homes and 123 with a pool on the market, the inventory rewards a buyer who knows exactly what they want.

Cape Coral is in Lee County, Florida.
