A Tighter Inventory, Stronger Pendings, and One Price Range Leading the Way
We pulled the latest MLS data to see exactly how Lexington Country Club is moving as season begins. From August through October, 18 homes closed with a median price of $297,500 and a median of 28 days on market. Inventory has fallen from its spring peak of 98 listings, and buyer activity has picked up sharply compared with last year. The strongest momentum was in the $230,000–$285,000 range, while larger units only move after significant price reductions. Seven new contracts were written in the first half of November, which lines up with what we’re seeing on the ground.
Key Takeaways (TL;DR)
- Most buyer activity was between $230,000–$285,000, while homes priced above that range usually need adjustments before offers come in.
- 18 closings this period with rolling 3-month data showing the most reliable picture of activity.
- $297,500 median price and 28 days on market as well-priced homes in the mid-$200s continue to move quickly.
- There were 22 pending sales August-October compared with 5 last year, marking the strongest fall increase since 2020.
- 62 active listings and 9.2 months of supply, placing Lexington firmly in buyer’s market territory.
What’s Selling in Lexington Right Now
With 9.2 months of supply, Lexington is firmly in buyer’s market territory. Most of the activity is happening below $300,000, and buyers are moving quickly when a home reflects the most recent sales comps. Of the 18 homes that closed in the August–October window:
- 6 sold under $250,000
- 7 sold between $250,000–$300,000
- 4 sold between $300,000–$400,000
- 1 sold above $400,000
Homes priced higher are still selling, but only when the price lines up with the latest closed and pending activity. Anything above that range usually sits until a reduction brings it closer to where buyers are actually making decisions.
Current pending contracts as of mid-November show the same trend. Six of the seven new pendings are listed between $234,900 and $285,000. The only outlier is a larger home that went under contract at $769,900 after earlier attempts at higher pricing.
Why We Use Rolling 3-Month Data
Lexington usually records five to seven closings a month, which means one or two higher-priced sales can move the monthly median in a way that doesn’t reflect the true trend. Rolling 3-month data evens this out so you’re seeing what’s actually happening, not just a single sale that happened to close that week.
This smoothing is especially helpful in a community that’s experienced a lot of swings over the last few years. It removes the noise and shows the real movement.
Activity by Neighborhood In Lexington Country Club
Our MLS data shows clear differences across Lexington’s six subsections. Here’s what stands out when we compare recent activity with on-the-ground experience.
Southmont Cove
Homes here tend to draw quick attention when they enter the low-to-mid $200s. Several recent examples went under contract within days. Prices usually fall from the low $200s to the low $300s.
Somerset Villas
Many buyers compare active listings with recent closings in the mid-$200s before they schedule showings. Homes often range from the high $200s to the high $300s, but anything above that usually needs time unless it’s aligned with the latest activity.
Waterford
This subsection has shown some of the most consistent movement. When a home adjusts to match a recent comp, interest follows. Most listings fall between the mid-$200s and mid-$300s.
Sutton Walk
Covering a wide price span, Sutton Walk ranges from the low $200s to the upper $400s. The smaller units in the mid-$200s continue to find buyers sooner, while the larger homes need more competitive pricing before showings begin to pick up.
Wedgewood
Wedgewood’s larger layouts often mean longer market times. Homes typically run from the low $300s to the low $400s, and many require sharper pricing before buyers engage.
Single Family Homes
The Single Family mix, extending from the mid-$200s into the mid-$900s. The higher-priced single-family homes have seen limited activity, and several have earlier reductions in their history before generating interest.
The Days-on-Market Gap That Tells the Story
Here’s the clearest indicator of how buyers are responding:
- Pending median days to contract: roughly 21 days
- Active median days on market: 104 days
- Active cumulative DOM: 174 days
When a home is priced with the most recent data in mind, it finds a buyer quickly. When it isn’t, it tends to sit.
Some sellers still remember late 2024, when a few higher-end closings pushed the median toward the low $400s. Coming from that high point to today’s level can feel like emotional whiplash — the kind of shift where your expectations and the market’s newer baseline don’t quite sync at first. That reaction makes complete sense, especially for homeowners who watched values move sharply in a short period of time.
Fort Myers Real Estate Broker and Lexington Country Club specialist, Brian Rodgers, said it the way he always does: “If a place is getting a few showings and nothing else, the market’s saying it needs to be closer to the recent comps. Buyers are choosing the homes priced for this season.
What Lexington Buyers Are Doing
Buyers have 62 homes to choose from right now, and they’re being selective. Most of their attention is on the $230,000–$285,000 range, where the comps and pendings support today’s values.
Showings across the community are low, which tells us buyers are filtering online first. When someone schedules a showing, they’ve usually compared the home to recent closings and are coming in with clear expectations.
What Sellers Should Keep in Mind
Homes priced in the mid-$200s tend to see the cleanest path to a contract. Sellers in that band usually get early activity when condition and presentation match the price.
Homes listed above the most recent range can still sell, but it often takes time and a strategic adjustment. Recent sale-to-list ratios average around 95.5 percent, so even well-priced homes may negotiate a bit before an agreement is reached.
Brian puts it plainly: the homes selling now are priced for this season’s market. When the price lines up with the last 60–90 days of data, results follow.
Lexington Country Club: Five-Year Overview
Lexington Country Club’s movement over the last few years has taken several turns:
- January 2020 began in the high $260s with a normal level of inventory
- 2021 through early 2023 brought very tight supply and multiple offers
- Mid-2023 through late 2024 introduced more inventory and a steady shift in pricing
- April 2025 saw inventory peak at 98 homes
- Today, inventory is in the low 60s and pending activity is the strongest it has been since 2022
The market appears to be settling into a level that reflects where buyers and sellers are meeting today.
