Lee County Inventory Signals a Balanced Market

How many months of homes are available for sale relative to the pace of closings? In Lee County, the answer is 6.26 months based on the rolling six-month window ending October 31, 2026. This figure places the market in balanced territory, where neither buyers nor sellers hold a distinct advantage. ALEX Intelligence calculates this metric by dividing the current active inventory of 49 homes by the average monthly closing rate of roughly eight sales per month over the last half-year. A reading near six months typically indicates equilibrium, whereas figures below four months suggest a seller's market and those above seven point toward a buyer's market. The data reveals a significant shift in speed compared to the prior six-month period. Median days on market dropped 45.5% to 61 days, while median closed prices rose 10.1% to $338,000 across 47 sales. Despite this acceleration, the inventory level remains high enough to prevent a bidding war environment. For buyers, this balance means there is time to evaluate options without immediate pressure. Sellers should note that while homes are selling faster than before, the six-month supply suggests they must price competitively to move quickly. The market is stabilizing after a period of rapid change, offering a predictable environment for transactions. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing.
