How This October Compares
Bonita Springs closed 123 homes in October. That is up 5% from 117 a year ago and up 18% from 104 in October 2024. Over the past ten years October has averaged 133 sales. Take out 2020 and its 229 sales and the average drops to about 123. This October landed right on it.
| October | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Units Sold | 103 | 130 | 134 | 229 | 164 | 109 | 119 | 104 | 117 | 123 |
Who Is Buying: Cash Leads the Way
Of the 123 sales, 80 closed in cash. That is 65% of the market. Conventional financing covered 36 sales (29%). FHA and other arrangements covered 3 sales each and owner financing covered 1. There were no VA or assumption sales.
That tells us a lot about who is moving here. Most Bonita Springs buyers arrive with equity in hand, often from the sale of a home up north. A buyer writing a check is not waiting on mortgage rates.
What Price Ranges Sold
- $0 to $200K: 5 sales (4%)
- $200K to $400K: 37 sales (30%)
- $400K to $600K: 33 sales (27%)
- $600K to $800K: 23 sales (19%)
- $800K to $1M: 10 sales (8%)
- $1M and up: 15 sales (12%)
The $200K to $400K range led the month with $400K to $600K close behind. Two thirds of October sales were listed above $400K. From a first condo near the beach to a bayfront estate, Bonita Springs has room for every kind of buyer.
Inventory Heading Into Season
We calculate supply the thorough way. Our count includes every active, pending, pending with contingency and withdrawn listing. City-wide inventory stands at 1,106 homes.
Over the past twelve months 1,944 homes closed in Bonita Springs. That works out to about 162 sales per month and 6.8 months of supply.
Supply is up from 6.0 months last month. The market tipped a little further toward buyers in October.
Six months is the traditional line between a seller's market and a buyer's market. Bonita Springs heads into season just past it, which means real selection for buyers.
For buyers this is a good season to compare communities and take your time. For sellers the homes that are priced right and presented well are still meeting buyers at a pace of roughly 160 sales a month. Season traditionally brings more of them to town.

The $1M+ segment recorded 15 sales in October and 9 of those buyers paid cash. Supply in this range sits at 8.7 months up from 7.8 last month (293 homes in inventory against about 34 sales per month).
