To get straight to the point, the median home price in Fort Myers in 2026 is expected to be between $372,000 and $465,000. This is clear. According to Redfin and Zillow, the median sale price is about $372,000, while data released by the local real estate team Team Hawley (Keller Williams) as of April 2026 shows a median price of $465,000, reflecting a 1.3% increase compared to the same month last year. The differences in data arise from the varying scopes that include single-family homes and condos.

We should first address the inventory situation. As of January 2026, there are approximately 12,045 active listings in the Cape Coral-Fort Myers metropolitan area, indicating a buyer's market with more than 7 months of supply. However, as of April, condo listings have decreased by 22.7% compared to the previous year, dropping to about 5.8 months (source: Worthington Realty, April 2026). This reflects a transitional phase as the overall market seeks balance.

Price trends show conflicting directions across different data sources. According to Redfin, the median sale price as of February 2026 is $340,000, which is a 10.2% decrease compared to the same period last year. In contrast, Team Hawley reports that the median price in April is $465,000, up 1.3% year-over-year. This discrepancy is due to differences in the timing of data collection and the types of homes included. One common signal is that the average time it takes for listings to sell has lengthened to around 75 days. This is noticeably slower compared to the heated market of 2020-2022.

• Average home value in Fort Myers according to Zillow: $372,466 (up 0.4% year-over-year)
• Median sale price according to Redfin for February 2026: $340,000 (down 10.2% year-over-year)
• Median sale price according to Team Hawley for April 2026: $465,000 (up 1.3% year-over-year)
• Active listings in the Cape Coral-Fort Myers area: approximately 12,045 (January 2026)
• Months of supply: overall about 7 months / condos about 5.8 months (April 2026)
• Average time on market: about 75 days
• 30-year fixed mortgage rate: about 6.8-7.0% (first half of 2026)

The overall direction of the market is clear. Fort Myers is moving away from the extreme seller's market of 2020-2022 and is in a gradual recovery phase towards balance. Prices are neither plummeting nor skyrocketing. Multiple analysis outlets, including Gulf Shore Business and RealWealth, predict a gradual price stabilization through the second half of 2026, with a more pronounced balance expected in 2027. For buyers, the current situation, where there is room for negotiation, may present an opportunity.

A key point to note in this market is the importance of verifying the sources of data. Even within Fort Myers, figures can vary by 15-30% depending on the reporting agency. It is essential to check local MLS data directly and consult with a professional agent before making investment decisions.
