There were 25 homes sold in March, with a median sale price of $167,000 — an 89.8% increase over the $88,000 median sale price during the same period of the previous year. In comparison, 27 homes were sold in Lee County in March 2024.

The U.S. housing market has surged in recent years, with its total value approaching $50 trillion in 2024—nearly five times its 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.
