Lee County stretches from the canal-laced grid of Cape Coral and the riverfront energy of Fort Myers out to island towns like Bokeelia and the ranch-country quiet of Alva. This is a Gulf Coast county built around water — you'll find 283 waterfront homes on the active market, plus golf communities, gated neighborhoods, and endless canal access for boaters. Whether you want a starter home in Lehigh Acres or a coastal escape in Bonita Springs, the range here is genuinely wide.

For buyers, the numbers tell a balanced story. The median list price sits at $370,000 with 1,261 homes active, and properties are taking a median of 53 days to sell — enough time to negotiate rather than rush. Over the last year 1,880 homes sold at a median of $350,000, with sellers netting about 96% of asking, so realistic offers are landing. With 387 new-construction listings on the market, there's fresh inventory alongside resale value.
