Southwest Florida Real Estate Second Quarter 2023 Report

We are pleased to present the Southwest Florida Real Estate Report. This report is the product of a collaborative effort between the Regional Economic Research Institute and the Lucas Institute for Real Estate Development and Finance. The report consolidates data from local property appraiser's offices and offers a comprehensive analysis of home sales, real median prices, price per square foot, and average age. Additionally, the report includes a section on commercial real estate analysis, encompassing retail properties, office spaces, entertainment properties, and other commercial sales. Stakeholders in Southwest Florida can utilize the information provided in this report to make well-informed decisions concerning talent attraction, affordable housing, and business expansion.
