Bonita Springs pricing looks steadier than most, but the real story is transaction momentum — closed sales growth is leading the region.
January 2026 data from the Florida Gulf Coast MLS (FGCMLS via Stellar MLS) shows a Bonita Springs real estate market where buyers are returning and inventory is tightening faster than anywhere else in the region. Pending sales rose 33.9% year over year, closed sales increased 10.1%, and months of supply improved from 11.4 to 8.4.
Bonita Springs is the only major Southwest Florida market with a positive year-over-year price headline. But with roughly 120 closings per month compared to 300 or more in neighboring cities, the median can still move based on what sells in any given month. The six-month trailing average shows prices down 3.1% year over year, which is more consistent with broader regional trends. The stability is real, but the headline slightly overstates it.
What the data shows more clearly is activity. Buyers are showing up, sellers are listing fewer homes, and the gap between supply and demand is narrowing faster here than in neighboring cities.
Key Takeaways (TL;DR)
- Buyer activity is rising. Pending sales increased 33.9% year over year to 233, and showings per listing rose 17.9%.
- Closed sales growth leads the region. Bonita Springs recorded 120 closings, up 10.1% year over year, the strongest percentage growth among major SWFL markets.
- Inventory is tightening fast. Months of supply improved from 11.4 to 8.4, a 26.3% improvement, while active listings declined 15.3%.
- Price stability needs perspective. The median price of $567,500 is up 0.4% year over year, while trailing averages show a decline closer to 3.1%, more in line with the region.
- Pricing accuracy varies by community. Re-list rates across featured Bonita Springs communities range from 22% to 48%, with timelines diverging sharply based on initial pricing strategy.

Buyer interest in Bonita Springs is picking up, but conditions still allow for careful decision-making.

Supply and Demand in the Bonita Springs Housing Market
Bonita Springs inventory has tightened faster than any other major Southwest Florida market over the past year.
Months of supply declined from 11.4 to 8.4, a 26.3% improvement. Active listings fell 15.3% year over year, and new listings dropped 24.2%, the sharpest seller pullback among the markets we track.
At the same time, buyer engagement increased. Pending sales rose 33.9%, closed sales climbed 10.1%, and showings per listing increased 17.9%. Rising demand meeting reduced new supply explains why Bonita Springs is tightening faster than neighboring markets still working through elevated inventory.
Even with this improvement, 8.4 months of supply still gives buyers choice, which keeps pricing grounded.
Pricing Trends in Bonita Springs
The median sale price of $567,500 is up 0.4% year over year, the only positive headline among major SWFL cities. With roughly 120 monthly closings, individual months remain more sensitive to which homes happen to sell than higher-volume markets.
Over the past twelve months, prices ranged from approximately $485,000 to $590,000. The six-month trailing average shows prices down 3.1%, reflecting timing and sales mix rather than a sudden change in direction.
The market peaked in May 2024 at $692,000. The current median sits about 18% below that high, while remaining roughly 57% above January 2021 levels. Long-term appreciation remains intact for most owners.
Improving demand has not eliminated the importance of pricing discipline for Bonita’s sellers.
Homes priced above recent comparable sales continue to face longer timelines, even as buyer activity improves. Community-level data highlights the difference between alignment and resistance.

What Bonita Springs Buyers and Sellers Want to Know Right Now
Bonita Springs experienced much of its adjustment earlier than Estero or Naples, peaking in mid-2024 and giving back a portion of those gains ahead of other markets. The positive year-over-year figure also reflects variability that comes with smaller monthly transaction volume. Trailing averages show prices down 3.1%, more in line with regional trends.
Pricing alignment and community type. Active adult and golf communities priced close to recent sales, such as Village Walk and Valencia Bonita, are moving faster. Communities with higher re-list rates and elevated inventory are taking longer. The product matters, but pricing matters more.
Bonita Springs offers a lower entry point, with a $567,500 median compared to $651,000 in Naples, while showing stronger transaction momentum. Closed sales are up 10% in Bonita Springs versus down 6% in Naples.
Even after the post-peak adjustment, prices remain approximately 57% above January 2021 levels. Most owners who purchased before 2022 still hold meaningful equity.
Insurance is part of nearly every transaction conversation, especially for older homes and properties in flood-prone areas. With FEMA flood map reviews ongoing in Lee County and revisions expected later this year, buyers are asking detailed questions earlier. Sellers who provide documentation upfront are seeing smoother closings.
