🏡 **Thinking About Selling Your Governors Island Home? Let's Have a Conversation.**

As both a **Governor's Island neighbor** and a REALTOR® with over **26 years of experience** helping buyers and sellers throughout Southwest Florida, I recently had the pleasure of helping another family purchase a beautiful home right here in our community.

One thing I've learned is that buyers are actively looking for homes in Governors Island because of its gated setting, mature landscaping, lake views, central Fort Myers location, and proximity to shopping, dining, beaches, RSW Airport, and spring training.

If you've been wondering:
✔️ What is my home worth today?
✔️ Is this a good time to sell?
✔️ What improvements would bring the highest return?
✔️ How can I maximize my sale price?

I'd be happy to provide a complimentary, no-obligation market evaluation and share what buyers are looking for right now.

Whether you're ready to move this month, next year, or simply want to understand today's market, I'm always happy to be a resource for my neighbors.

Hello Governor's Island Homeowners

If you've been considering selling your home, now is an excellent time to understand how today's market is affecting property values in Governor's Island.

The Fort Myers condominium and townhouse market continues to attract buyers, with pending sales increasing 33% compared to last year. However, inventory has also increased, with new listings up 45%, giving buyers more options and making proper pricing more important than ever.

What this means for homeowners is simple: well-priced, well-presented properties are still selling, but buyers have become more selective. In today's market, the homes that stand out are the ones that are positioned correctly from day one.

I recently put a Governor's Island property on Concord Way under contract, demonstrating that buyers are actively looking in our community when they find the right opportunity. Governor's Island remains one of Central Fort Myers' most affordable and desirable condominium communities, and there continues to be demand for well-maintained units.

Every property is unique, and factors such as floor plan, updates, view, condition, and location within the community can significantly impact value. That's why automated online estimates often fail to tell the whole story.

If you're curious about what your Governor's Island home may be worth in today's market, I'd be happy to provide a complimentary, no-obligation Home Value Review and discuss the opportunities available to you.

With more than 18 years of Southwest Florida real estate experience, I can help you understand current market conditions, recent sales activity, and the best strategy to maximize your home's value.

I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and become your Realtor for Life.

Sincerely,

📊 Fort Myers & Cape Coral Market Update | March 2026

I wanted to share a quick, real-world snapshot of what we’re seeing right now across the Royal Palm Coast Realtor Association market here in Fort Myers and Cape Coral—and there’s definitely some momentum building as we head deeper into spring.

🏡 Single-Family Homes
We’re seeing strong sales activity combined with tightening inventory, which is always a key indicator of where things may be heading.

• Median price: $359,790 (down 4.1% month-over-month)
• Closed sales: 1,318 homes (⬆️ 29.5%)
• New listings: 1,989 (⬇️ 3.2%)
• Days on market: 48 days (⬇️ 14.3%)
• Inventory: 5.4 months supply (⬇️ 27.8%)

👉 What that means: Homes are selling faster, inventory is tightening, and motivated buyers are actively making moves.

🏙️ Condos & Townhomes
This segment is showing a similar trend, with increased activity and a gradual tightening of available inventory.

• Median price: $246,495 (down slightly month-over-month and year-over-year)
• Closed sales: 424 (⬆️ 15.8%)
• Days on market: 68 days (slightly up)
• New listings: 664 (⬆️ 2.9%)
• Inventory: 7.5 months supply (⬇️ 17.9% from last month)

👉 What that means: Buyers still have choices here, but the window is slowly narrowing compared to earlier this year.

💬 My Take (from being in the market every day):
Right now, we’re in a balanced-but-shifting market in Fort Myers and Cape Coral.

• Sellers: You’re seeing increased activity—just make sure pricing is dialed in.
• Buyers: Opportunities are still there, but hesitation could cost you as inventory tightens.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just want to understand what this means for your situation, I’m always happy to help.

Governors Island Market Update – Spring 2026

As we move through the spring season here in Governors Island, I wanted to share a quick snapshot of what’s happening in our neighborhood and what it means for homeowners.

Overall, the market in Governors Island remains active, but it’s also showing signs of being more balanced compared to the fast-paced conditions we experienced over the past few years. Currently, there are a handful of properties on the market with list prices generally ranging from about $199,000 up to around $228,000, with a median asking price right around $215,000.

What’s especially important is what homes are actually selling for—not just what they’re listed at. Recent sales in the community have ranged from approximately $220,000 to $280,000, with a median sale price around $239,000. This tells us that well-presented and properly priced properties are still attracting buyers and, in some cases, achieving strong results.

We are also seeing a bit more time on the market compared to previous years, which is typical as inventory builds slightly and buyers become more selective. That said, the demand for well-located, affordable communities like Governors Island continues to be very solid—especially from seasonal buyers and those looking for value in the Fort Myers area.

From a broader perspective, Southwest Florida is still benefiting from steady migration, lifestyle appeal, and relative affordability compared to other coastal markets. That continues to support property values here, even as the market normalizes.

What This Means for You

If you’ve been wondering what your unit might be worth in today’s market, now is actually a great time to take a look. Values can vary significantly based on condition, upgrades, view, and location within the community—so having an accurate, up-to-date opinion really matters.

As both a neighbor and a local real estate professional, I’m always happy to provide a personalized, no-obligation valuation of your property.

If you’d like an updated estimate of your home’s value—or just want to talk through the market—feel free to reach out anytime.
Kind Regards,

🏝️ Quick Question for My Governors Island Neighbors…

Have you noticed how many condos are currently for sale in Governors Island lately?

💰 Prices range from $220,000 to $249,999
📊 The median asking price is about $228,900

Some of the homes have been on the market for a while, with the typical listing taking about 5 months to sell, which tells us buyers are taking their time and comparing options carefully right now.

Over the past few months, 3 condos have sold, with sale prices ranging from $238,500 up to $280,000 and a median sale price around $240,000. Most sellers received about 95% of their asking price, showing that properly priced properties are still movin

📊 What does this mean for Governors Island homeowners?
The market is still active, but buyers are being much more selective than they were a couple of years ago. Pricing correctly from the start has become very important.

I’m curious…

👉 If you were to sell your condo in the next year, where do you think it would be priced today?

Drop your guess in the comments — I’d love to hear what everyone thinks.

If anyone would like, I can also run a quick estimate of what your specific condo might be worth in today’s market.

Greetings Governors Island Residents! 🌴

I wanted to take a moment to share a quick update on what we’re seeing so far in the 2026 real estate market — specifically here in our Governors Island community.

Inventory (the number of homes available for sale) has increased compared to the start of the year. That means buyers have more options today than they did in early January. As supply rises, the market naturally shifts toward a more balanced environment instead of heavily favoring sellers like we saw in past years.

That said — homes are still going under contract regularly. Buyer activity remains steady, but buyers are being more selective and price-conscious. Negotiations are back, and pricing strategy matters more than ever.

One of the biggest trends this year has been an increase in price adjustments. Homes that come out priced too aggressively are having to reposition. However, well-priced homes in desirable communities like Governors Island are still attracting strong interest.

Here’s the simple takeaway:

• The market is active, not stalled
• Buyers have more leverage than a year ago
• Correct pricing is critical
• Properly positioned homes are selling

I would describe the current environment as balanced, leaning slightly in favor of buyers. This isn’t a downturn or a crash — it’s a normalization after several years of rapid appreciation.

If you’re thinking about selling, strategy and presentation are key.
If you’re considering buying, opportunity and negotiation room have improved.

Every street and property can behave differently, so if you’d like a personalized update on your home’s value or current activity in Governors Island, I’d be happy to provide one.

Welcome Governors Island Winter visitors!

Here’s the market update on this zip codes condo activity.
The December 2025 data for condos and townhomes in the 33907 Fort Myers market shows a market that is actively adjusting, not stalling. Closed sales totaled 16 units, down 27% year-over-year, while the median sale price declined 33% to $181,250. This reflects a clear market correction from prior peak pricing and confirms that today’s buyers are value-focused and highly informed.
At the same time, inventory levels remain relatively stable, with 183 active listings—down just 1.1% from last year. What’s especially important for sellers to note is the rise in new listings, up 27%, alongside a 50% increase in new pending sales. This tells us that while more condos are coming to market, well-positioned properties are still attracting buyers and moving into contract.
Dollar volume declined 52% year-over-year, driven primarily by lower pricing rather than a lack of buyer interest. In practical terms, this means condos that are priced accurately from day one—and presented in strong condition—are selling, while those that enter the market above current value expectations face longer days on market and increased price reductions.
For condo and townhome owners considering a sale, this is a market where strategy, pricing, and preparation matter more than timing. Buyers are active, but selective. Properties that align with today’s pricing realities and are marketed professionally are capturing attention and contracts, especially as pending sales continue to trend upward. The opportunity is there—but success depends on your homes positioning correctly from the start.
Thinking about selling your home? Strategy matters more than ever. Let’s price it right, market it smart, and get it sold.
