The median sale price of a home sold in the second quarter of 2024 in Lee County rose by $31,000, while total sales increased by 43%, according to BlockShopper.com.

From April through June of 2024, 113 homes were sold in the county, with sale prices around $161,000. This is a 23.8% increase over the $130,000 median sale price during the same period in 2023, when there were 79 homes sold.

Based on the latest available data from 2021, the median sales tax on homes in Lee County was $2,419, which equates to 1.5% of the median home sale price for the second quarter of 2024.

The U.S. housing market has soared in recent years, with its total value nearing $50 trillion in 2024. This is almost five times greater than the market's value in 2000.

“The value of America’s housing market will likely cross the $50 trillion threshold in the next 12 months as there are not enough homes being listed to push prices down,” said Redfin Economics Research Lead Chen Zhao.
