Bonita Springs days on market reached a median 108 in August 2026, against 79 for the homes that closed in August 2025.
Pending contracts fell 9.9% over the same twelve months, and the three-month rolling median moved from $570,000 in June to $520,000 in August. Regional context is in the August 2026 Southwest Florida market series.

Key Takeaways
- Median days on market rose to 108 from 79 a year earlier, a 36.7% increase.
- Recent price measures moved lower. The three-month rolling median finished August at $520,000 and rolling price per square foot at $292, both below their June readings.
- Closed sales totaled 109, down 14.8% year over year, and pending sales fell 9.9% to 127.
- The citywide Ask-Bid Gap was 16.0%, reaching 34.0% above $1.5 million. Ask-Bid Gap compares active listings against recent closings in the same price range and is not an offer discount for any individual home.
- Active listings fell 30.2% to 668 and months of supply dropped to 4.3 from 7.3. Homes that sold on a first listing attempt took a median of 82 days.
Bonita Springs Days on Market Reached 108 While Transaction Counts Fell
Median days on market in Bonita Springs was 108 in August 2026 against 79 in August 2025. Bonita’s own readings were 77 in June and 78 in July.
This figure covers the homes that closed during August, and 109 homes closed. A market that size produces a monthly median that moves on the composition of those 109 sales. The year-over-year comparison is the more reliable read.
Closed sales came in 14.8% below the 128 recorded in August 2025. Pending sales fell 9.9% to 127. Both the completed transactions and the ones forming now sat below last year. Dollar volume totaled $77.7 million, down 7.2%.
New Listings Held at 142 While Active Inventory Fell
New listings held at 142 for a third consecutive month, down 11.3% from 160 last August. Active listings finished at 668 against 957 a year earlier, after 853 in June and 758 in July.
The active count moves for several reasons at once. Completed sales, expirations and withdrawals all reduce it. A decline of this size shows the pool of available homes shrinking. It does not by itself establish how much of that came from buyers.
Shadow inventory refers to homes whose owners have moved toward selling without an active MLS listing in place. Worthington reads Bonita Springs shadow inventory directionally rather than publishing a count.
Buyer traffic held close to last year’s level. Showings per listing reached 3.1 against 2.9, and the median showings required to reach a contract stayed at 8.
Season shapes all of these readings. Southwest Florida’s peak buying period runs January through April, the reverse of most of the country. Activity thins from May into September, so August sits in the slower half of that calendar.
Recent Bonita Springs Price Measures Moved Lower
Two Bonita price measures have moved down over the past three months, and both come from the rolling series. The three-month rolling median ran $570,000 in June, $541,000 in July and $520,000 in August. That August reading sits 1.0% below the $525,000 recorded a year earlier.
Rolling price per square foot followed the same direction. It moved from $314 in June to $300 in July and $292 in August. The August figure sits 4.6% below last August’s $306.
The August median covers 109 Bonita Springs closings. The rolling figure combines June, July and August, reducing the influence of one unusual group of sales.
The single-month measures were mixed. The August median rose to $505,000, up from July’s $479,000 and 0.5% above last August’s $502,500, while price per square foot came in 2.0% below last August at $287. June read $313 and July read $276. That swing across three months is the volume issue the rolling series is designed to soften.
The rolling figures support one statement about recent Bonita Springs closings. They came in lower on both measures. Closing mix, location, property type and condition all affect those numbers as well. The data describes the pool of homes that sold. It does not establish that every Bonita property lost value.
The median sold-to-list ratio was 95.1%, measured against the most recent asking price. That is effectively flat against last August’s 95.2%.
About One in Five Active Bonita Listings Had an Earlier Listing Attempt
The Re-list Rate covers active listings that carry an earlier expired, withdrawn or terminated record at the same address. The window is the past 12 months. Bonita’s reading is 22.3%, which is 147 of the 658 active listings in the address-matched export. The rate has fallen in each of the last two months, from 24.3% in June to 23.8% in July. A lower Re-list Rate means fewer active homes carry an expired, withdrawn or terminated listing at the same address from the previous 12 months. The data does not establish why those earlier listings ended.
Of those returning listings, 56.5% came back at 3% or more below the prior asking price. The other 43.5% were relisted with little or no price change. Agent changes, seasonal pulls and personal circumstances all send homes back to the market alongside price adjustments.
Bonita recorded 509 sales of homes that sold on their first listing attempt in the trailing 120 days. Those took a median of 82 days and closed at a median of $542,000. Homes that sold after an earlier listing attempt accumulated a median of 256 days across their attempts. That group covered 73 sales, or 12.4% of closings in the window. Within it the median earliest asking price was $584,500. The median final sale price was $535,000, a median per-home difference of $60,000.
Those two groups are not the same homes. They differ in price, property type, condition and seller circumstances. The earliest asking prices in the second group belong to a different set of properties. The figures describe how each group performed. They do not establish that an earlier listing attempt or an opening price produced the difference.
When a home returns to the MLS under a new listing, its days-on-market counter starts over at zero. The days-on-market number shown on an active listing may not reflect its cumulative marketing time across listing attempts.

Bonita Springs Competitive Inventory and Ask-Bid Gap
The 108-day citywide median and the 82-day first-attempt median are not the same measure. The first covers every home that closed in August. The second covers first-attempt closings across the trailing 120 days, drawn from the address-matched export. Reading one as a correction of the other overstates what either can support.
Competitive Inventory is Worthington’s filtered view of active listings. It sets aside homes that have been listed at least 180 days without a price reduction of 3% or more, along with relisted homes that returned with less than a 3% change. It uses the city’s three-month closing pace, while published MLS months of supply uses all active listings and a 12-month pace. The two figures answer different questions and should not be read as interchangeable.
On Bonita’s trailing three-month pace of 127.7 closings a month, all 658 export listings run 5.2 months. Setting aside the 181 listings past the 180-day mark brings that to 3.7 months. The full filter leaves 242 listings at 1.9 months.
The Ask-Bid Gap Is Wide in Every Bonita Price Tier
The Ask-Bid Gap compares two medians. The first is the asking price per square foot of active listings. The second is the price per square foot of recent closings in the same price range. Bonita’s citywide reading is 16.0%, with active listings at $352.30 against $295.97 on trailing 120-day closings.
Under $400,000 the Ask-Bid Gap runs 11.3%, with 201 active listings asking a median $242.22 against $214.75 on 184 recent sales.
Between $400,000 and $750,000 it narrows to 8.7%, with active listings at $320.24 against $292.53 on 221 sales. From $750,000 to $1.5 million it runs 8.4%, with 131 active listings at $442.17 against $404.84 on 119 sales.
Above $1.5 million it reaches 34.0%. Those 117 active listings ask a median $993.51 per square foot against $655.64 on 66 sales. June read 40.2% and July read 39.8%, so that tier narrowed for a second consecutive month.
The active homes and the sold homes are not the same properties. They can differ in condition, location, age and finish. This measure shows how closely the two groups line up. It does not set an offer percentage, and it does not predict any single home’s sale price or marketing time.
The Pending-to-Active Ratio compares homes under contract to homes available at the pull date. Bonita’s reading was 22.6%. It is a snapshot of activity levels rather than a conversion rate. That reading is not evidence of what buyers will pay.

Proprietary metrics use Worthington’s address-matched property export, so active-listing denominators differ slightly from the published MLS counts in Table 1. Competitive Inventory MOI divides the filtered active-listing count by the city’s total trailing-three-month closing pace. It is a supplemental indicator and is not calculated the same way as published MLS months of supply.
August 2026 Opening-Price Results for Bonita Springs Communities
The final line in each profile compares eligible August closings with the opening asking price of the listings that sold. Results are calculated property by property before the median is reported. Sample sizes appear with every result, and small samples describe only those particular sales.
Spanish Wells
The three August closings finished at a median 78.9% of their opening price, $122,900 below it, against 94.6% measured from the final ask, and none of the three was a relist. Months of inventory moved from 3.7 to 4.5 across 27 active listings and 24 closings, while pending contracts rose from seven to nine. Closings spanned Marbella at $302,500 through Cordova at $1,057,500. Three closings cannot support a benchmark, so comparables belong to the specific sub-community.

Bonita National Golf and Country Club
Contracts doubled the pending-to-active ratio to 30.4%, with seven pending against 23 active listings and months of inventory at 3.3. The active pool asks a median $524,900 while closings across the trailing 120 days landed at $740,000. The active pool contains more condos and coach homes, while recent closings included more single-family homes. That difference in composition helps explain why the two medians should not be compared directly. The two August closings finished at 91.9% of their opening price, $44,500 below it, and neither was a relist. Comparables here should match deed type, since bundled golf and social-only membership convey differently on otherwise similar homes.

Pelican Landing
The active re-list rate fell 19.1 points to 20.0%. Months of inventory moved from 2.0 to 3.0 across 20 active listings and 27 closings. The five August closings finished at a median 85.6% of opening ask, $64,900 below, with two of the five classified as relists. The Colony at Pelican Landing remains outside these figures and is analyzed separately because it represents a distinct segment of the larger development.

Seasons at Bonita
Asking and closing prices describe different floor plans here, with the active pool asking a median $660,000 on homes about 200 square feet larger than those that sold at $522,500. Months of inventory moved from 2.0 to 2.7 as pending contracts halved from six to three against 12 active listings. The three August closings finished at a median 97.0% of their opening price, $25,000 below it, with one relist among them. All product here is single-family, so comparables should match floor plan.

Valencia Bonita
Months of inventory nearly doubled to 5.7 on 17 active listings against 12 closings. The active pool asks a median $670,000 on homes roughly 470 square feet smaller than those that sold at $780,000, putting the villa and detached segments on opposite sides of those two medians. Both August closings finished at a median 91.8% of their opening price, $71,888 below it, and both were classified as relists. Two closings cannot support a benchmark. Comparables in this 55-plus community should match villa or detached construction.

VillageWalk of Bonita Springs
Months of inventory stands at 1.1, with eight active listings against 29 closings and half the active pool under contract. The five August closings finished at a median 95.1% of their opening price, $20,000 below it, against 95.9% from the final ask, a spread of 0.8 points. None of the five was classified as a relist. Comparables should match model and lake position, since square footage varies little across this DiVosta product and condition tends to separate otherwise similar homes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Bonita Springs homes take longer to sell in August?
The data shows longer selling times but does not isolate one cause. The August median of 108 days covers the 109 homes that closed that month. With that few sales, one unusual month moves the median. Across the trailing 120 days, homes that sold on a first listing attempt took a median of 82 days. Of the 658 active listings, 181 have been available 180 days or longer. That describes current supply rather than the homes that already sold.
Did Bonita Springs home prices fall over the past year?
The recent price measures moved lower. The three-month rolling median came in 1.0% below last August and rolling price per square foot came in 4.6% below. The single-month median was 0.5% above last August. Closing mix, location, property type and condition all shape these figures. None of them tracks the value of a specific home.
How much room is there to negotiate in Bonita Springs?
The citywide figures set context rather than a target. Closings landed at a median 95.1% of the most recent asking price. The Ask-Bid Gap compares active listings against recent closings, which are different homes, so the 16.0% reading is not an offer discount. Offers are better built from comparable sales in the same community and price band.
Final Thoughts
Median days on market rose to 108 in August from 79 a year earlier, and pending contracts fell 9.9% to 127. Recent price measures came in below last year. Supply is 30.2% thinner than it was twelve months ago, so buyers have less to choose from than the other figures suggest.
A Bonita Springs pricing decision still depends on the community, price band, condition and closest comparable sales.
