Southwest Florida Market Update August 2025
The Southwest Florida real estate market continues to evolve in unique ways across Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, and Lehigh Acres. While these cities share the same coastal sunshine and draw from the same buyer pool, their market conditions tell four very different stories. Understanding how they compare is valuable for both buyers and sellers, as well as for agents helping clients navigate these choices.
Naples: Luxury Price Leader with Buyer Leverage
Naples continues to set the pace at the top of the market, posting a median sales price of $750,000 and an average of $360 per square foot. Yet, with a 7.4-month supply of inventory and a median of 68 days on the market, Naples has become the most negotiable market of the four. Sellers are accepting an average of 94 percent of their list price, which highlights the leverage buyers currently have. For consumers, this means patience and negotiation can yield better terms, while agents should focus on premium marketing strategies, positioning homes as lifestyle investments, and encouraging sellers to consider creative concessions such as rate buydowns or staged reductions.
Fort Myers: Balance and Stability
Fort Myers offers a different story—a balanced market that has become the “value-for-amenities” play in Southwest Florida. With a median price of $428,931 and $233 per square foot, it provides strong value relative to Naples while maintaining proximity to downtown, hospitals, and the river district. Inventory sits at 5.9 months, the lowest among the four cities, and homes take about 60 days to sell. For buyers, this translates into a market that still offers choice but rewards decisive action. For sellers, Fort Myers is steady, but pricing aggressively from the start is critical. Realtors here win by moving quickly: launching professional photos, virtual tours, and targeted ads the moment a listing goes live.
Cape Coral: The High-Volume Giant
Cape Coral is the region’s inventory giant, with 2,607 active listings in August and 434 closings—the highest throughput of any city. The median sales price is $368,000 with $219 per square foot, showing strong affordability and variety. The six months of supply indicates a balanced but competitive environment. Buyers enjoy a wide selection, from canal homes to affordable inland builds, but sellers must work harder to stand out. Realtors can differentiate listings by highlighting boating access, insurance details, and neighborhood advantages like bridge clearance for canals. With so many options on the market, the properties that tell the clearest story—through photos, maps, and targeted messaging—rise above the noise.
Lehigh Acres: The Affordability Engine
Lehigh Acres stands apart as the most affordable market, with a median price of $318,000 and $208 per square foot. Despite having 6.4 months of supply, it is also the fastest-moving market, with homes selling in just 47 days on average. Sellers here achieve 98.2 percent of their asking price—proof that entry-level housing remains in high demand. For consumers, this means speed is essential, as well-priced homes attract offers quickly. For investors, Lehigh remains appealing due to its steady demand and affordability. Realtors in this space should focus on payment-based marketing, ensuring FHA and VA buyers can act quickly with pre-approvals in place.
What It All Means
These four cities together illustrate an upgrade ladder that still exists in Southwest Florida. Buyers may begin in Lehigh Acres, move up into Cape Coral, trade into Fort Myers for balance, and eventually reach Naples for luxury and lifestyle. The markets move at different speeds, with Naples showing the most negotiability and Lehigh the most urgency, while Cape Coral and Fort Myers offer balanced middle-ground options.
For consumers, the message is clear: Naples offers negotiating room, Fort Myers offers balance, Cape Coral offers choice, and Lehigh offers speed and value. For agents, the strategy must be tailored to each city—premium positioning in Naples, velocity in Fort Myers, segmentation in Cape Coral, and urgency-driven marketing in Lehigh. Each market has its own rhythm, and success depends on understanding not just the numbers, but the story behind them.

What Sellers & Agents Need to Know About the Exclusive Right of Sale Listing Agreement
By Chad Damitz, Broker/Founder of AnchorPoint Real Estate
As a real estate broker, one of the most common (and important) documents I walk both agents and sellers through is the Exclusive Right of Sale Listing Agreement. If you’re new to real estate or considering selling your home, understanding this agreement upfront can save confusion — and frustration — down the road.
This isn’t legal advice — I’m simply breaking it down from a practical, broker’s perspective, based on years of working with sellers, agents, and contracts across Southwest Florida.
What Is the Exclusive Right of Sale Listing Agreement?
In short, this agreement gives a real estate broker (like me) the exclusive right to market and sell your property for a set period of time. It’s the most common and most effective type of listing agreement because it provides structure, accountability, and clear expectations for everyone involved.
When you sign this, only your chosen broker can market the property — meaning you won’t have multiple brokers or companies promoting your home at the same time. This prevents confusion for buyers and keeps your sale organized.
Why It Matters for Sellers
✅ You get a dedicated advocate: Your broker is motivated to sell your home — they only get paid when the sale happens.
✅ Clear commission terms: You know exactly what fee you’ll owe if the home sells, whether it’s to a buyer your broker finds or someone you already know.
✅ Marketing exposure: Most agreements include MLS placement, digital marketing, signage, and showings — unless you specifically opt out.
✅ Protection period: Even after the agreement ends, if a buyer who saw the property during the listing period comes back and purchases, your broker still earns their commission.
Key Things Sellers Should Understand
1. Timeframe:
You and your broker agree on a start and end date. Even if your home doesn’t sell within that period, the broker may still be owed commission if a qualifying buyer purchases soon after.
2. Commission:
The fee is negotiable but clearly spelled out. It often looks like a percentage of the sale price, due at closing. Remember — even if you find the buyer yourself, commission may still apply.
3. MLS & Marketing:
Most listings go into the MLS, giving your property broad exposure. You can opt out of MLS, but that often limits buyer reach.
4. Buyer Agent Compensation:
As the seller, you can choose whether to offer buyer agents a commission. In most markets, offering buyer agent compensation increases interest in your property.
5. Cancellation Terms:
Some brokers, myself included, may offer conditional termination options — but it’s important to review the details, especially regarding expenses or potential fees.
What New Agents Should Know
If you’re an agent learning the ropes, here’s the deal:
✔ This contract protects both you and your seller.
✔ It ensures you're compensated for your hard work.
✔ It allows you to control the marketing process and present the property professionally.
✔ It's your job to clearly explain the agreement to your clients — don’t rush through it.
Bottom Line
The Exclusive Right of Sale Listing Agreement is a tool — not a trap. It creates structure, defines expectations, and allows both sellers and brokers to work together with a common goal: getting the property sold.
If you’re a seller considering listing your home, or an agent looking to grow your business the right way, understanding this agreement is a must. And as always — I’m here to walk you through it, answer your questions, and make the process as smooth and transparent as possible.
Have questions?
Whether you're a seller or an agent looking to build your career with AnchorPoint Real Estate, feel free to reach out. Our team believes in honest, local, relationship-driven real estate — and that starts with clear communication.

June 2025 Market Update: Fort Myers, Cape Coral & Naples
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the real estate market in Southwest Florida, you’ll notice things are shifting, just not in the way many expected. Let’s break down what’s happening in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Naples as we compare May 2025 to the same time last year.
In Fort Myers, the median sales price has dipped 6.9%, falling from $499,450 in 2024 to $465,000 today. But despite the price drop, closed sales are actually up 2.5%, rising from 1,260 to 1,291. That means more homes are selling, just at slightly lower prices. Sellers are still getting nearly what they ask for, with the list price received remaining steady. One of the biggest changes is in new listings, which are up 14.8%, jumping from 2,250 to 2,583. While it may seem like the market is becoming more saturated, the months’ supply of inventory tells a different story: we’ve gone from 10 months of inventory in January 2025 to just 6.1 months by the end of May. That’s a strong indicator that demand is catching up.
Over in Cape Coral, we’re seeing an even bigger drop in the median sales price—down 7.2%, from $409,500 to $379,900. Unlike Fort Myers, closed sales are down—about 6.9% year over year. Interestingly, while sales are down, new listings are also slightly down, just 0.5%, with 4,497 last year compared to 4,474 this year. Even with fewer new listings, the months’ supply of inventory has declined significantly, from a peak of 13.4 months in January to 6.2 months today. That’s a substantial shift and could point to a more balanced market emerging.
Meanwhile, Naples has seen a more moderate 5.5% decrease in median sales price, dropping from $855,000 to $808,000. One of the more notable shifts here is in days on market, which are up 45%, from 42 days to 61 days on average. That tells us homes are taking longer to sell. However, new listings are up 2.2%, suggesting sellers are still confident enough to enter the market. Current inventory sits at 8 months, which is higher than both Cape Coral and Fort Myers.
So, what does all this mean? As a local broker, my take is that we’re seeing a gradual return to a more normal market. Prices are adjusting after the pandemic-era surge, but buyer activity is still present—especially in Fort Myers. Inventory levels are coming down across the board from their January highs, which is encouraging for sellers. Buyers, on the other hand, are seeing a bit more choice and negotiating room, especially in Naples and Cape Coral.
Whether you're thinking of buying or selling, now is a good time to understand your local market dynamics. Every city tells a slightly different story—and the right strategy depends on where you are and what your goals are. Please give me a call at 239-785-6986 or email chad@anchorpointrealestatefl.com to set up a buyer or seller consultation. Have a great day!
Honoring the Brave, Reflecting on Home – Memorial Day 2025
As we pause to honor Memorial Day, we’re reminded that freedom comes at a cost. Today, we remember and give thanks for the men and women of our military who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live with the freedoms we so often take for granted — including the freedom to build our lives, raise our families, and call a place “home.”
At AnchorPoint Real Estate, “home” isn’t just a transaction — it’s a sacred space. It’s the place where memories are made, where loved ones gather, and where we find peace. And we recognize that none of that would be possible without the courage and sacrifice of our military heroes.
On this day of remembrance, we also want to take a moment to reflect on the current real estate landscape. In a market that continues to shift, our commitment remains the same: to guide with care, lead with integrity, and support our clients through every step of their journey. Whether you're buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, our team is here to help you navigate it all with honesty, creativity, and reliability.
We hope today brings you a moment of rest — time to connect with loved ones, appreciate the freedoms we enjoy, and reflect on what truly matters.
From all of us at AnchorPoint Real Estate, thank you to the brave men and women who gave their lives for ours. We honor you today and every day.
Wishing everyone a peaceful and meaningful Memorial Day.
