Single-Family Home Inventory Drops as Local Housing Market Shifts
Bonita Springs, FL · August 9, 2026
Sunday morning coffee pairs best with a light breeze before the afternoon showers roll in. Plenty of live music is slated along Old 41 today if you are looking to get out between raindrops.
The Lead
The local housing market is showing two distinct personalities as summer reaches its peak. Recent real estate data reveals single-family home inventory has dropped 23 percent year-over-year, tightening supply to under six months and holding median prices near $647,500. Homes priced accurately are selling in an average of 77 days at more than 95 percent of listing prices.
By contrast, the condominium market has shifted firmly into buyer territory. With over seven months of supply on the market and median prices around $380,000, buyers hold clear negotiating power across local developments. Market analysts expect single-family inventory to stay constrained through autumn while condominium options remain plentiful, giving seasonal shoppers an early look at shifting neighborhood dynamics before the winter rush begins.
