Record Number of SWFL Home Sales in 2019

We enjoy calculating and reviewing the home sale statistics at the end of each year. While we typically know what to expect based on how busy the past year has been, there’s always something within the stats that surprises us. 

This year, we were somewhat surprised to find that the number of homes sold AND the volume of homes sold in 2019 were the highest recorded within the past 10 years. Our data included the cities and surrounding areas of Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs and Estero - as these are the primary markets we serve in addition to Sanibel & Captiva Islands.

What’s Ahead in 2020?

We’re excited to see! Last year’s numbers are a promising outlook on what’s in store for 2020. As more baby boomers purchase their retirement homes, interest rates stay favorable, and the weather stays beautiful year-round, we expect 2020 will bring a good year for real estate in Southwest Florida.
