Markets

Sellers outnumber buyers in most Florida coastal ZIPs this fall. The gap is widest where prices sit above the estimate.

Inventory keeps climbing, pendings are flat, and the listings that still move are the ones priced inside their estimate band.

What this means in 33901 (sample figures)

Fort Myers, in review

A Tuesday on McGregor Boulevard

By a verified agent, HomeNews storytellerRecorded 7:40 AMFair Housing passed

Three open houses along McGregor Boulevard on Tuesday, two of them empty by noon. The one that drew a crowd was priced under its estimate, with the flood elevation certificate sitting on the kitchen counter next to the sign-in sheet.

That certificate is the new curb appeal. Every buyer who walked in picked it up before they looked at the kitchen.

Everyone is reading that sellers outnumber buyers on the coast this fall. Here is what that looks like in Fort Myers this week.

Thirty-eight homes listed in 33901. The ones priced inside their estimate are going pending in about six weeks. The ones priced five percent over are sitting for three months.

If you are selling, the number that matters is the gap between your price and your estimate. This one is ideal for a certain kind of buyer, so price it right and they will come.
