Is the real estate market recovery coming to southwest Florida?

📊 Southwest Florida Market Recovery – My prediction

Which markets are positioned for the fastest rebound?

• Naples is primed for the strongest recovery. Luxury buyers and a high cash-share buffer against rate volatility, and inventory has begun leveling.

• Marco Island follows closely—limited land and steady second-home demand make it resilient.

• Bonita Springs & Estero are re-pricing now (prices easing, days on market higher), which often sets up a clean rebound once financing/insurance improve.

• Sarasota/Manatee should see steady—not dramatic—growth, with balanced inventory and active sales.

• Fort Myers & Cape Coral will likely lag as abundant supply and insurance costs weigh on price discovery.

• Charlotte County faces the slowest path to recovery, with higher months of supply and heavy builder competition.

Our Ranking for 2025–26 Recovery Strength

👉 What this means for buyers & sellers:
