As we review the latest August 2026 Bonita Springs-Estero MLS Real Estate Activity report, which compares August 2025 to August 2026, our brokerage sees a market where buyer demand continues even as available inventory shrinks.
Closed Sales fell 5% year over year, while Pending Sales climbed 7%. New Listings dropped 14%, and Homes for Sale fell 28% compared to last August, a clear sign that available inventory is tightening even as buyers stay engaged. Homes that came to market in August 2026 moved at a Median Days on Market of 84.
The Median Sales Price rose to $522,500, a 6% increase from August 2025, giving both buyers and sellers a clearer read on current values. Looking at inventory activity for the month, 277 New Listings came to market while 210 Listings Sold, reflecting steady turnover despite the tighter supply.
A closer look by property type, drawn from the market report shows single-family homes closed 138 sales in August 2026, up 6.2% from 130 a year earlier, with a Median Sale Price of $498,030, down 1.4%, and active inventory down 23.8% to 602 homes. Townhouses and condos told a different story: closed sales fell 20.2% to 67, while the Median Sale Price rose to $375,000, up 0.7%, with active inventory down 27.0% to 413 units.
For sellers, tightening supply across both segments continues to support values. For buyers, condos offer more relative price stability, while single-family inventory remains especially limited.
