There’s a real sense of transition in the Southwest Florida housing market right now. Home sales have climbed 10.9% year over year, a sign that buyers are still actively seeking their slice of paradise in our region. At the same time, new construction permits have dropped 22.1%, totaling 18,569 units. This shift is worth noting for anyone thinking about making a move—whether you’re buying, selling, or even considering renting or investing. Median home prices currently stand at $385K in Lee County, $850K in Collier, and $360K in Charlotte. As someone who’s both worked in mortgage financing and now serves clients across Naples and SW Florida, I keep a close eye on these trends to help my clients navigate every aspect of the market. Whether you’re looking for your first home, a second property, or an investment, understanding these numbers can make all the difference in reaching your real estate goals.
