Bonita Bay Fall Market Report
With 56 neighborhoods, homeowners can choose from coach homes, single family custom homes, multi-unit villas, or waterfront high-rise luxury living.
The apparent large drop in the Single Family median home price in Q3 simply reflects the small number of sales during the slower summer months.

Known as the “Gateway to the Gulf” – Bonita Springs enjoys the charm of small town living with sprinkles of magnificent upscale communities and businesses.

Foreign Buyers May Return in November
WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden will ease foreign travel restrictions into the U.S. beginning in November, when his administration will require all foreign nationals flying into the country to be fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated passengers will not be required to quarantine.
In my recent market reports I wrote: “As buyers from more foreign countries are allowed to visit the US again, those buyers – who were largely absent last year – may well add further demand to an already extremely tight market.
As for the future what remains true is that “as it’s now possible to work from anywhere in the world, why not live and work in paradise?”
Traffic is starting to pick up in Southwest Florida as we see the first of the winter arrivals. If you are interested in buying please contact me to beat the rush!

Whay are people moving to Southwest Florida?
“Both Collier and Lee counties have been among the very strongest population growth markets in the entire nation over the past five years,” said Brian Alford, Florida director of market analytics for CoStar Group, which specializes in worldwide real estate data. “There have also been numerous corporate relocations and expansions over the past decade, including large expansions over the past couple of years by firms such as Gartner and Arthrex, adding even more jobs.” (Naples Daily News)
Some of the workers live in Bonita Springs, about halfway between Naples and Fort Myers. Incorporated only at the start of this century, Bonita for the first time barely edged into the Top 50 of the most populated in Florida, joining Cape Coral, Fort Myers and North Port.
“Demand to move here has always been strong, but lately, low interest rate policy, and coupled with lockdown fatigue up north, increased demand even more, which explains the larger-than-expected increases in population down here,” said economist Christopher Westley, dean of Florida Gulf Coast University’s Lutgert College of Business.

No slowdown in buyer demand for Bonita and Estero market
According to the Bonita Springs-Estero REALTORS® (BER), buyer interest in February 2021 was robust, leading to multiple offer situations and a very active start to the spring selling season in Bonita Springs and Estero. Along with robust sales, inventory shortages are also a continuation into springtime as well. Most notable was the 76.7 percent drop in available inventory as compared to the same time in 2020. While there are inventory challenges, this should not deter buyers and sellers from entering the market.
