Updated October 2026 · Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, Domain Realty · Market data from the Southwest Florida MLS (closings through October 7, 2026) and the Lee County Property Appraiser (roll file October 4, 2026)
If you own a home in Fairview Isles, the canal neighborhood of Fairview, Bayview, Palmview, Sunview and Clearview Boulevards and Albatross Street on the south half of Estero Island in Fort Myers Beach, this is our seller’s page for your streets, written from the recorded sales. The island background is in our Fort Myers Beach pages.
The Lee County Property Appraiser places every Fairview Isles parcel in the Town of Fort Myers Beach taxing district. That is the Town on Estero Island that incorporated on December 31, 1995, so the Town, and not unincorporated Lee County, is your local government for building permits, flood rules, sea turtle lighting and vacation rental registration, and its levy is on your tax bill. The roll counts 134 single-family homes and 14 vacant residential lots here, ZIP 33931.
In the 12 months to October 7, 2026 the Southwest Florida MLS recorded 19 Fairview Isles single-family closings at a median of $955,000, from $485,000 to $5,940,000, with a median of 98 days on market and a median of 93.5 percent of the final list price. This page prints every one of those 19 sales with its final list price, the repeat sales in the county file, the net proceeds at two real prices and the papers Florida law makes a seller deliver. A separate condominium on Estero Boulevard shares the Fairview Isles name, and none of its sales are counted here.
To sell a Fairview Isles home in Fort Myers Beach in 2026, price it from the nearest closed homes of your size, water and elevation, put the survey, elevation certificate, permit history and flood disclosure in the file before the first showing, and expect buyers to negotiate: 18 of the last 19 sales closed below final list.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
No two Fairview Isles houses price alike. The county roll dates the 128 improved homes from 1958 to 2024, with 97 built before 1980, and the 12-month record runs from $359 to $1,471 per square foot, so this page works house by house.
These are the nine facts about selling a Fairview Isles home in Fort Myers Beach that matter most in October 2026, each drawn from the Southwest Florida MLS, the Lee County Property Appraiser, the Town of Fort Myers Beach and Florida law.

We tracked every one of the 69 Fairview Isles single-family closings in the Southwest Florida MLS from the 60 months to October 7, 2026, and joined each street address to the county roll so that a condominium sale on Estero Boulevard is never read against a house on Palmview. We tracked every county-qualified sale of a Fairview Isles house in the Lee County file, read all 207 parcels on the roll, read the Florida Division of Corporations filings for both Fairview Isles entities and queried the FEMA flood layer at six single-family addresses.
We will not price a 1,312 square foot canal house off the $5,940,000 bay sale because both carry a Fairview Isles tag, quote an association fee that no association document supports, promise a buyer that a dock or seawall is permitted before we have seen the permit, or call a lot high and dry without an elevation certificate. Reading the record first is how we have stayed Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008.

The Fairview Isles market in Fort Myers Beach is active, slower than it was and well supplied: 19 Southwest Florida MLS closings in 12 months at a $955,000 median, a median of 98 days on market and 93.5 percent of final list price, against 14 active listings and 1 pending on October 7, 2026, about 8.8 months of supply.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
We show an MLS series and a county series and never average them. Our Fairview Isles home valuation page carries the value history by size and year.
We pulled every Fairview Isles closing in the Southwest Florida MLS in four windows counted back from October 7, 2026. The first window with 10 or more closings is 12 months, with 19, so it leads. The figures cover single-family street addresses only.
| Window | Closings | Median sold price | Range | Median price per sq ft | Median days on market | Median sale-to-final-list |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 months | 19 | $955,000 | $485,000 to $5,940,000 | $531 | 98 | 93.5% |
| 24 months | 33 | $820,000 | $485,000 to $5,940,000 | $528 | 67 | 93.5% |
| 36 months | 39 | $885,000 | $460,000 to $5,940,000 | $531 | 63.5 | 93.4% |
| 60 months | 69 | $911,000 | $460,000 to $5,940,000 | $584 | 40 | 94.7% |
The days on market and sale-to-list figures use 19, 33, 38 and 68 closings, because one Sold Data Entry closing on Albatross Street in January 2024 was entered after the fact with no listing history. It is counted in the prices. One July 2026 sale at $5,940,000 stretches every range; without it the other 18 closings of the last 12 months had a median of $952,500, so the median itself is steady.
Slicing the 60 months into 12-month periods shows the change a seller feels most, which is time.
| Period (months before October 7, 2026) | Closings | Median sold price | Median price per sq ft | Median days on market | Median sale-to-final-list |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 to 12 | 19 | $955,000 | $531 | 98 | 93.5% |
| 12 to 24 | 14 | $717,500 | $523 | 54 | 93.3% |
| 24 to 36 | 6 | $962,500 | $589 | 26 | 86.5% |
| 36 to 48 | 17 | $905,000 | $548 | 17 | 93.4% |
| 48 to 60 | 13 | $1,185,000 | $740 | 18 | 98.9% |
The 24 to 36 month period holds only 6 closings, so we draw no direction from it. What the table does show is that the median days on market lengthened from 17 and 18 in the two oldest periods to 98 in the latest, while the typical seller accepted about 93 percent of final list in three of the five.
On October 7, 2026 the Southwest Florida MLS showed 14 active single-family listings in Fairview Isles, from $734,800 to $1,725,000, and 1 pending with a contingency at 220 Albatross Street, listed at $625,000. A re-check of the MLS on October 29, 2026 found the same 15 houses for sale, all 15 now active: the contract at 220 Albatross Street had fallen through and that house was back on the market at $625,000, and one asking price had been cut from $950,000 to $900,000. No closing was recorded after October 7. The median active asking price was $1,104,500 (rounded), the median active listing had been on the market 137.5 days, 7 of the 14 had passed 180 days and 4 had come on within the last 30. The median asking price per square foot was about $696, against $531 for homes that closed.
Fourteen active homes against 19 closings in a year is about 8.8 months of supply by the simple method, actives divided by closings per month, and about 9.5 months if the pending home is counted. The whole of ZIP 33931 stood at about 11.5 months on the same day, with 380 active listings against 397 closings in 12 months, so Fairview Isles is somewhat tighter than the ZIP and still a market where the buyer has choices. By price, one active listing asks under $750,000, a band that produced 5 closings in 12 months, while seven ask $1,000,000 or more, a band that produced 7.
Eight of the 14 active listings are houses that already appear in our 60-month closing record. They last sold between September 2022 and February 2025 at $710,000 to $1,440,000, and they are now listed at $850,000 to $1,725,000, which is $60,000 to $750,000 above each home’s last recorded MLS price. The record does not show what was renovated, elevated or rebuilt in between. For a seller the point is practical: much of your competition is priced from a recent purchase plus work, not from the last closing, and two of the eight have been listed for more than 620 days.
The county’s record of qualified improved sales is a separate series, counted differently, and we show it beside the MLS without blending.
| Window | County-qualified sales | Median | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 months | 18 | $917,500 | $485,000 to $5,940,000 |
| 24 months | 35 | $805,000 | $316,900 to $5,940,000 |
| 36 months | 38 | $815,000 | $316,900 to $5,940,000 |
| 60 months | 50 | $865,000 | $316,900 to $5,940,000 |
The county’s 12-month count of 18 is one below the MLS count of 19, and its median of $917,500 sits below the MLS median of $955,000. A county file counts only what the county codes as qualified, so a difference of a sale or two is normal, and its 60-month count of 50 against 69 in the MLS is why the MLS series leads here.
Each row uses that neighborhood’s own publish window from the same Southwest Florida MLS pull, the first window with 10 or more closings, so read the window with the row. Months of supply is active listings divided by closings per month in that window.
| Neighborhood | Window and closings | Median days on market | Median sale-to-final-list | Active listings, October 7, 2026 | Months of supply |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fairview Isles, homes only | 12 months, 19 | 98 | 93.5% | 14 | 8.8 |
| Laguna Shores | 24 months, 12 | 141 | 96.8% | 10 | 20.0 |
| Shell Mound Park | 24 months, 14 | 68 | 93.2% | 11 | 18.9 |
| McPhie Park | 36 months, 16 | 78.5 | 91.7% | 4 | 9.0 |
| Siesta Isles | 12 months, 11 | 97 | 88.9% | 0 | 0 |
Fairview Isles sells more homes than any of the four and carries fewer months of supply than Laguna Shores or Shell Mound Park, with a sale-to-list ratio in the middle of the group. All of ZIP 33931 in 12 months shows 397 closings, a median of 92 days and 93.8 percent of final list.
Fairview Isles homes in Fort Myers Beach sold for $485,000 to $5,940,000 in the 12 months to October 7, 2026, with a median of $955,000 across 19 Southwest Florida MLS closings at $531 per square foot. Every closing is listed below with its final list price, so a seller can see what was asked and what was paid.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
Percent of list is the sold price divided by the final list price.
| Date closed | Street address | Final list price | Sold price | Percent of final list | Living area (sq ft) | Price per sq ft | Days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| June 30, 2026 | 11 Palmview Blvd | $829,500 | $805,000 | 97.0% | 1,312 | $614 | 438 |
| June 17, 2026 | 26 Palmview Blvd | $1,199,000 | $1,075,000 | 89.7% | 2,234 | $481 | 5 |
| May 29, 2026 | 23 Fairview Blvd | $1,100,000 | $1,045,000 | 95.0% | 2,090 | $500 | 266 |
| May 15, 2026 | 52 Fairview Blvd | $1,125,000 | $1,050,000 | 93.3% | 2,052 | $512 | 262 |
| April 30, 2026 | 17 Palmview Blvd | $980,000 | $885,000 | 90.3% | 1,504 | $588 | 33 |

| April 23, 2026 | 25 Fairview Blvd | $1,195,000 | $950,000 | 79.5% | 1,788 | $531 | 145 |
| April 16, 2026 | 13 Bayview Blvd | $1,650,000 | $1,525,000 | 92.4% | 2,379 | $641 | 347 |
| April 9, 2026 | 25 Palmview Blvd | $1,599,500 | $1,500,000 | 93.8% | 1,758 | $853 | 54 |
| April 8, 2026 | 19 Sunview Blvd | $599,900 | $540,000 | 90.0% | 1,503 | $359 | 10 |
| February 26, 2026 | 107 Albatross St | $999,000 | $955,000 | 95.6% | 1,735 | $550 | 138 |
| February 25, 2026 | 5 Clearview Blvd | $650,000 | $651,000 | 100.2% | 1,281 | $508 | 1 |
| January 16, 2026 | 28 Bayview Blvd | $999,000 | $975,000 | 97.6% | 1,471 | $663 | 165 |
| December 15, 2025 | 276 Albatross St | $1,899,000 | $1,825,000 | 96.1% | 2,099 | $869 | 81 |
| October 22, 2025 | 3 Palmview Blvd | $598,000 | $515,000 | 86.1% | 1,324 | $389 | 98 |
The 19 final list prices add up to $24,849,900 and the 19 sold prices to $22,986,000, so sellers as a group collected 92.5 percent of what they were last asking. One address on the list, 107 Albatross Street, is an odd-numbered Albatross address, which the county’s legal descriptions place on the Sandpiper Village plat; leaving it out, the other 18 have a median of $952,500.
| Living area | Closings in 12 months | Sold prices | Price per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,300 sq ft | 2 | $485,000 and $651,000 | $422 and $508 |
| 1,300 to 1,699 sq ft | 8 | $515,000 to $975,000; the median of these 8 closings is $777,500 | the median of these 8 is $537 |
| 1,700 to 2,199 sq ft | 6 | $950,000 to $1,825,000; the median of these 6 closings is $1,047,500 | the median of these 6 is $541 |
| 2,200 sq ft and over | 3 | $1,075,000, $1,525,000 and $5,940,000 | $481, $641 and $1,471 |
Each band is under 10 closings, so these are the sales themselves and not a price list. Inside the largest band the spread is $515,000 to $975,000 for houses of similar size, the clearest sign that size alone does not set a Fairview Isles price.
Fairview Isles listings in Fort Myers Beach took a median of 98 days to sell in the 12 months to October 7, 2026 and closed at a median of 93.5 percent of the final list price. Six sold within 30 days, five took more than 180, and only one of the 19 sold above its final asking price.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
Both measures use all 19 closings, since none of the 12-month sales is a Sold Data Entry record. Final list price is the last asking price before contract, so a home that was reduced twice shows only its last number, and the true gap from the first asking price is wider than these figures.
| Days on market | Closings | Median percent of final list for the group | Sold prices |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 days or fewer | 6 | the median of these 6 is 92.5% | $540,000 to $5,940,000 |
| 31 to 180 days | 8 | the median of these 8 is 93.8% | $515,000 to $1,825,000 |
| More than 180 days | 5 | the median of these 5 is 93.3% | $485,000 to $1,525,000 |
The shortest sale took 1 day, at 5 Clearview Boulevard, and the longest took 438, at 11 Palmview Boulevard. Over the full 60 months the median was 40 days across 68 closings with a listing history. Speed did not buy a better price in this record: the three group medians sit within about a point of one another, and what the slow group paid was 236 to 438 days of taxes, insurance and upkeep.
Seven of the 19 closed at 95 percent of final list or better, eight between 90 and 94.9 percent, and four below 90 percent. The lowest was 79.5 percent, a $950,000 sale at 25 Fairview Boulevard from a final list of $1,195,000, and the highest was 100.2 percent at 5 Clearview Boulevard. The median gap between final list and sold price was $59,900. Over 60 months, 57 of the 68 closings with a listing history sold below final list, 5 at it and 6 above it, and only 2 of those 11 at-or-above sales closed after 2024.
Most have. The Lee County file records 11 Fairview Isles house sales in the 12 months to October 7, 2026 that can be paired with the same parcel’s previous qualified sale: 9 sold for more and 2 for less. The median change was a gain of $220,000 over a median hold of about 5.1 years, before selling costs and improvements.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
A repeat pair sets a parcel’s qualified sale against the qualified sale before it in the county’s files, where the earliest Fairview Isles house sale we hold is dated December 2017. A pair measures two recorded prices, not your gain, which is counted from your basis.
| Street address | Previous qualified sale | Sale in the last 12 months | Change | Years between |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26 Fairview Blvd | June 2020, $596,000 | September 2026, $750,000 | gain of $154,000 | 6.3 |
| 11 Palmview Blvd | January 2020, $500,000 | June 2026, $805,000 | gain of $305,000 | 6.4 |
| 26 Palmview Blvd | September 2025, $1,300,000 | June 2026, $1,075,000 | decline of $225,000 | 0.8 |
| 23 Fairview Blvd | May 2023, $825,000 | May 2026, $1,045,000 | gain of $220,000 | 3.0 |
| 52 Fairview Blvd | August 2023, $810,000 | May 2026, $1,050,000 | gain of $240,000 | 2.7 |
| 17 Palmview Blvd | August 2020, $550,000 | April 2026, $885,000 | gain of $335,000 | 5.7 |
| 12 Bayview Blvd | March 2020, $167,627 | April 2026, $560,000 | gain of $392,373 | 6.1 |
| 25 Palmview Blvd | August 2023, $1,050,000 | April 2026, $1,500,000 | gain of $450,000 | 2.6 |
| 5 Clearview Blvd | September 2025, $650,000 | February 2026, $651,000 | gain of $1,000 | 0.4 |
| 28 Bayview Blvd | December 2020, $900,000 | January 2026, $975,000 | gain of $75,000 | 5.1 |
| 16 Bayview Blvd | October 2019, $779,900 | November 2025, $650,000 | decline of $129,900 | 6.1 |
The largest gain was $450,000, at 25 Palmview Boulevard, and the largest decline was $225,000, at 26 Palmview Boulevard, where the county records sales in January 2023 at $1,450,000, September 2025 at $1,300,000 and June 2026 at $1,075,000. The March 2020 figure of $167,627 at 12 Bayview Boulevard is far below any other house price in the file, and we print it as the county records it without knowing what interest it conveyed; without that pair, the median change across the other 10 is a gain of $187,000.
Six of the 11 sellers had bought in 2019 or 2020, and five of those six sold for more, by $75,000 to $392,373. The one who did not had paid $779,900 in October 2019 and sold at $650,000 six years later. Three had bought in 2023, after Hurricane Ian, and all three sold for more, by $220,000 to $450,000. The two who had bought in September 2025 and resold within a year either broke even on the recorded price or lost $225,000, and a gain of $1,000 does not cover a commission. Across the full 60 months the county file holds 18 repeat pairs, 12 sold for more and 6 for less, and three of the six declines were on homes bought between October 2021 and May 2023 and resold in 2025. If you bought near those prices, plan your sale from your net proceeds.
This example is a closing from the public Southwest Florida MLS record, chosen to show how a Fairview Isles sale can run. A one-story bay-lot house of 2,379 square feet at 13 Bayview Boulevard sold on April 16, 2026 for $1,525,000 after 347 days on market, the same price the same address had brought in December 2022.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
The home closed at $1,525,000 from a final list price of $1,650,000, which is 92.4 percent of final list and a gap of $125,000. At 2,379 square feet that is $641 per square foot, against a Fairview Isles median of $531. The county roll describes a one-story house built in 1971 on a bay lot, with a pool and a seawall flagged and no boat dock flagged, on the Unit 7 replat recorded at Plat Book 30, page 43, and it carries the parcel at a just value of $1,719,622. The county file records the same April 16, 2026 sale at $1,525,000.
The Southwest Florida MLS shows the same address closing on December 1, 2022, nine weeks after Hurricane Ian, at $1,525,000 from a final list of $1,600,000, with 0 days on market. Forty months later the recorded price was identical to the dollar. The first sale took no time at all; the second took 347 days. The record does not show what was spent on the house in between, so the matching prices say nothing certain about that owner’s gain or loss.
Bayview Boulevard closed four homes in the 12 months. Next door, 15 Bayview Boulevard closed on July 20, 2026 at $5,940,000 for 4,038 square feet after 21 days, and the same address had closed in November 2022 at $1,425,000 for 1,974 square feet, so a different and much larger house stands behind the second price. Two other Bayview houses closed at $975,000 in January 2026 and $560,000 in April 2026. For a 1970s house on a bay lot, the 2022 sale of this same address was the nearest comparable there was.
Using the assumptions in the net sheets later on this page (a 2.75 percent listing commission, a 2.5 percent buyer-agent compensation, the deed stamp tax and the owner’s title policy, all customary for the seller in Lee County), this seller’s costs would be an estimated $98,501 with buyer-agent compensation and $60,376 without it, for a net before payoff of $1,426,499 or $1,464,624. The stamp tax is 15,250 units of $100 at $0.70, or $10,675, and the title premium is $575, plus $4,500 on the next $900,000, plus $1,312.50 on the $525,000 above $1,000,000 at $2.50 per $1,000. We do not know what the actual seller paid, offered or owed.
First, the last sale of your own address is evidence, and buyers will find it. A list price $125,000 above a number the same house had already brought needed a reason a buyer could see. Second, time has a price. At the Town district’s 2026 applied millage of 13.3108, a recorded price of $1,525,000 works out to $20,299 a year in property tax before exemptions, about $56 a day, so 347 days is roughly $19,298 in tax alone before insurance and upkeep. Third, the neighbor’s $5,940,000 did not lift this sale: a new, larger house is a different product on the same street. Our job is to put the nearest closings in front of the owner before the first showing and say honestly what they support.
We price a Fairview Isles home in Fort Myers Beach from the closed sales nearest to it in living area, water frontage, floor elevation and condition, starting with its own street and its own prior sale, then test that number against the 14 active listings and the season. The $955,000 neighborhood median is a reference point and never the price.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
We confirm the legal description first. By the county’s descriptions an even-numbered Albatross address is on a Fairview Isles plat and an odd-numbered one is on the Sandpiper Village plat, and the condominium on Estero Boulevard is a different product. Then we pull the closings for your size band and your kind of lot: bay, canal or no water flag.
Eight houses of 1,300 to 1,699 square feet sold in the last 12 months between $515,000 and $975,000. We place your house inside that range by reading each of the eight, and we give you the three or four sales that bracket you, not a single figure pulled from an average.
The MLS and the roll do not record the height of the lowest floor, the age of the roof, the condition of the seawall, whether the dock is permitted, or whether the home was repaired or rebuilt after 2022. Those are what a buyer’s insurer and lender price, so we collect them from you, the Town’s permit records and an elevation certificate, and adjust in dollars with the reason written down.
A price has to win against what is for sale. Seven of the 14 active listings ask $1,200,000 or more and seven ask less than $1,000,000, and half have been listed more than 180 days. We show you where your number would sit in that list on the day you go live, and we plan the first three weeks, because six of 19 sellers found their buyer inside 30 days.
Four things move the value of a Fairview Isles home in Fort Myers Beach: whether the lot is on the bay or a canal, the living area, the height of the lowest floor against the flood map, and whether the house is original 1960s and 1970s construction or was rebuilt. A dock or pool alone moves it less.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
The roll flags 103 of the 134 single-family parcels on a canal, 13 on the bay and 18 with no water flag, and no parcel carries a Gulf flag. Of the 18 closings in the last 12 months that we could match to a parcel, 15 were on a canal and two on the bay. Those two bay sales were the $5,940,000 and $1,525,000 closings on Bayview Boulevard, the highest and third-highest prices of the year. Two sales cannot set a premium, so we do not state one; we price a bay lot against bay lots.
By the roll’s year built, the 12 pre-1980 homes that sold in the last 12 months had a median of $845,000, the four built from 1980 through 2022 sold from $750,000 to $1,075,000, and the one dated 2023 or later, a December 2025 sale on Albatross Street, closed at $1,825,000. The roll keeps the original year on a house repaired or raised in place, so the year alone can mislead. What a buyer pays for is the floor height: the Town requires new or substantially improved buildings at the base flood elevation plus one foot, which is 11 to 13 feet NAVD88 at the zones we tested.
Among the 12-month closings we matched to the roll, ten homes without a boat dock flag had a median of $965,000 and eight with one sold from $485,000 to $1,500,000, the median of these 8 being $768,000. A dock did not by itself raise the price; size and lot did. A dock adds value when it is permitted, usable at low tide and attached to a sound seawall. With a seawall flagged on 117 of 134 homes and a pool on 109, those two features are the norm here, and their condition is what is priced.
A Fairview Isles buyer in Fort Myers Beach should expect little or no association fee, though none is verified: listing-entered annual recurring fees on 69 Southwest Florida MLS closings ranged from $0 to $100 (not verified; the association’s current budget and an estoppel certificate govern). The larger yearly costs are property tax, flood and wind insurance, and the seawall.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
Of the 69 single-family closings in 60 months, 59 carried a listing-entered annual recurring fee of $0, and 10 carried an entry from $25 to $100 a year: $25 once, $35 twice, $45 once, $50 five times and $100 once. Of the 19 closings in the last 12 months, 17 carried $0, one $45 and one $50. On 16 of the 69, the listing agent’s entry described the association as voluntary, and the other 53 left that field blank. These are typed by the listing agent and are not association documents.
The Florida Division of Corporations lists Fairview Isles Improvement Association, Inc., document 757896, as active, filed May 5, 1981, with a principal address on Fairview Boulevard. Whether membership is mandatory, what it charges and what it enforces are not confirmed, and we found no recorded declaration, budget or community website for the single-family lots.
A buyer adds the yearly costs to the mortgage before deciding what to offer. At the Town district’s 2026 applied millage of 13.3108 (13.4329 in 2025; Lee County Property Appraiser book printed October 9, 2026), a recorded price of $955,000 works out to $12,712 a year before exemptions and non-ad valorem charges, and $750,000 works out to $9,983. Lee County’s adopted solid waste assessment for the area that includes the Town is $358.45 per single-family unit for fiscal year 2026. A buyer’s own bill will follow the county’s assessed value after the sale.
A Fairview Isles home in Fort Myers Beach is insured through three policies in most cases: homeowners, wind and flood. Every address we tested is in a Special Flood Hazard Area, so a lender will require flood coverage, and a buyer’s insurer will ask for the roof age, a wind mitigation inspection and the elevation certificate before quoting.
Data updated: October 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, panel effective November 17, 2022; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
We quote no premium for any route, because a premium belongs to one house and one buyer.
Flood coverage comes from the National Flood Insurance Program or a private carrier. FEMA’s Risk Rating 2.0 prices each NFIP policy on the property’s own characteristics, including elevation and rebuilding cost, and FEMA says most NFIP rates cannot rise more than 18 percent a year. The Town of Fort Myers Beach is a Class 5 community in the program’s Community Rating System, a 25 percent discount effective April 1, 2026 according to a FEMA letter reported by WGCU, after the Town lost the discount in a November 2024 retrograde. A seller with an elevation certificate hands the buyer a quote instead of a guess. FEMA’s Increased Cost of Compliance coverage can pay up to $30,000 toward compliance after the Town issues a substantial-damage determination, so keep any such letter in the file.
A Citizens Property Insurance policy that includes wind on a single-family home in a Special Flood Hazard Area already requires the owner to carry flood coverage. Wind discounts are documented on the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form, which Citizens accepts, so a seller with a newer roof, shutters or impact glass should have the inspection done before listing.
A Fairview Isles seller in Fort Myers Beach must give the buyer the flood disclosure required by section 689.302 at or before contract, the property tax disclosure summary under section 689.261, and the truth about known defects that are not readily observable. If a mandatory homeowners association governs the lot, the section 720.401 summary is owed before the buyer signs.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes 689.302, 689.261, 720.401 and 720.30851 as read October 7, 2026; Florida Division of Corporations records)
This is information, not legal advice; your contract and your closing agent control the details.
Since October 1, 2024, section 689.302 requires a Florida residential seller to give the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the time the contract is signed. It asks about known flood damage, flood claims and flood assistance. In a neighborhood where the U.S. Geological Survey marked Hurricane Ian’s water at 11.8 feet NAVD88 on Bayview Boulevard and 11.7 feet on Albatross Street, each about 7.2 feet above the ground, answer it from your records and not from memory.
The Florida Supreme Court’s decision in Johnson v. Davis requires a seller to tell a buyer about known facts that materially affect value and are not readily observable. In a 1960s or 1970s canal house that means known roof leaks, past water intrusion, seawall movement and unpermitted work, and an as-is contract does not remove the duty. Section 689.261 separately requires a property tax disclosure summary warning the buyer not to rely on the seller’s current taxes.
That depends on a fact we could not confirm. Section 720.401 requires a disclosure summary before the contract is signed when the parcel is in a community with a mandatory homeowners association, and it is the seller who supplies it on a resale. If it is not given first, the buyer may cancel within 3 days after receiving it or before closing, whichever occurs first. Fairview Isles Improvement Association, Inc. is an active corporation, yet whether membership is mandatory is not confirmed, and listing agents described it as voluntary on 16 of 69 closings. The recorded covenants in your title commitment settle it, so ask your closing agent before you list.
Where an association has the power to assess a lot, section 720.30851 lets the closing agent request an estoppel certificate stating what is owed. Florida law caps the fee, and we print no dollar amount. In Lee County the seller customarily pays for it, though the contract controls. If the association is voluntary and has no lien rights, your closing agent may need only a letter, or nothing at all.
Buyers in Fairview Isles, Fort Myers Beach ask four things before they ask about the kitchen: which flood zone the lot is in, how high the lowest floor sits, what Hurricane Ian did to the house, and whether the roof, seawall, dock and repairs were permitted and closed. A seller who answers all four in writing keeps the contract together.
Data updated: October 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, panel 12071C0567G effective November 17, 2022; U.S. Geological Survey high-water marks; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
We asked FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer for the zone at six single-family addresses and the neighborhood center. All are on panel 12071C0567G, effective November 17, 2022, in the Town of Fort Myers Beach, datum NAVD88.
| Address tested | FEMA zone | Base flood elevation (ft) |
|---|---|---|
| 16 Sunview Blvd | AE | 10 |
| 5 Clearview Blvd | AE | 10 |
| 26 Fairview Blvd | AE | 11 |
| 15 Bayview Blvd | VE | 12 |
| 11 Palmview Blvd | VE | 12 |
| 270 Albatross St | VE | 12 |
| Neighborhood center point | AE | 11 |
This is what the FEMA flood map indicates at these addresses. It is not a statement about any other lot, and two lots a few hundred feet apart can carry different zones and required elevations. The Town states that the entire Town lies within a Special Flood Hazard Area, and every address we tested is in evacuation zone A. Send your buyer to the panel and to your elevation certificate. A segment of the state’s coastal construction control line lies within about 500 meters of the neighborhood center, and whether any lot is seaward of it is not confirmed.
Hurricane Ian made landfall on September 28, 2022. The National Hurricane Center’s report gives 10 to 15 feet of surge above ground on Fort Myers Beach and says an estimated 900 structures there were totally destroyed and 2,200 damaged. The U.S. Geological Survey’s marks in this neighborhood are the ones quoted above. For the 2024 storms the National Weather Service reported coastal water levels of 2 to 5 feet above mean higher high water for Helene and 3 to 6 feet for Milton in Lee County, and no island-specific marks exist. A buyer will ask how high the water came in your house and what was replaced.
The Town of Fort Myers Beach, not Lee County, issues the permits here. Its code treats work costing 50 percent or more of the building’s value as a substantial improvement that must meet current flood rules, with the lowest floor at the base flood elevation plus one foot, and the Town’s page states that the calculation includes all permits obtained in the past five years. So the permits you pulled since 2022 are part of what your buyer is buying: they count toward the buyer’s own renovation budget.
Three sets of rules affect a Fairview Isles sale in Fort Myers Beach: the Town’s land development code, which binds every lot; the recorded plat and any recorded covenants, which bind the title; and the Town’s vacation rental registration. The single-family lots’ recorded declaration is not published, so the recorded documents and the current rules govern.
Data updated: October 2026 (Town of Fort Myers Beach short-term rental page, Ordinance 18-01 and land development code as read October 7, 2026)
We found no confirmed architectural review or buyer approval for the single-family lots. If a recorded declaration requires either, the title commitment will show it. The Town’s permit and floodplain review applies to exterior, structural, seawall and dock work regardless.
Rental and pet terms are not published for the single-family lots; the recorded plat, any recorded covenants and the current rules govern, and a buyer should ask for them in the resale package. Public rules still apply. Under the Town’s code dogs on a leash are allowed on the Town’s beaches and owners must remove waste, and pets are barred from the Little Estero Island Critical Wildlife Area.
A dwelling licensed under chapter 509 and used as a vacation rental must register with the Town within 90 days of starting, show the Town’s registration number in all public advertising, renew annually and name a responsible party who can act within one hour. Registration numbers are not transferable, so your buyer registers in their own name. The land development code limits rentals in certain zoning districts to one single family per one-month period with a one-week minimum stay, with exceptions that include land between Estero Boulevard and the Gulf. We could not confirm the parcel-level zoning district for these lots, so a buyer counting on rental income should request a Town zoning verification. Questions go to the Town at [email protected] or 239-765-0202.
The Fairview Isles record leans toward winter and spring without being decisive: of 69 Southwest Florida MLS closings over 60 months, 37 closed from December through April and 32 from May through November, with December and January alone holding 19. A closing follows its contract by weeks, so the fall listing is the one that closes in winter.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
| Month | Closings | Month | Closings |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 9 | July | 3 |
| February | 6 | August | 4 |
| March | 4 | September | 5 |
| April | 8 | October | 3 |
| May | 7 | November | 4 |
| June | 6 | December | 10 |
Only December reaches 10 closings, so no single month proves anything. The five months from July through November together hold 19 closings, the same as December and January combined.
The 37 December to April closings had a median sold price of $900,000, a median of 25.5 days on market and 95.0 percent of final list price. The 32 May to November closings had a median of $927,500, 54 days and 94.3 percent. Both groups mix five different years, including the fast market of 2021 and 2022, so no month guarantees a price. In the last 12 months, 10 of the 19 closings fell between April 1 and June 30, and they include both the 5-day sale and the 438-day sale.
We market a Fairview Isles home in Fort Myers Beach by leading with what its buyers search for: the water behind the house, the floor elevation, the roof and the permit file. We photograph the lot from the canal or bay side, publish the documents with the listing, and reach local and seasonal buyers through the Southwest Florida MLS.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; National Association of REALTORS practice changes of August 17, 2024)
Professional photography, including the seawall, the dock and the view down the canal; a floor plan with the living area that matches the county roll or an explanation of why it differs; the correct subdivision and plat, so an Albatross Street house is described as what the legal description says it is; a plain statement about the dock and seawall permits; and the survey, elevation certificate and flood disclosure ready to send.
Since the National Association of REALTORS practice changes of August 17, 2024, commissions are negotiable, an offer of buyer-broker compensation cannot be advertised in the MLS, and a buyer signs a written agreement with their agent before touring. A seller may still offer to pay toward the buyer’s agent, off the MLS, or offer a closing-cost concession. We show your net sheet both ways so the decision is yours.
We negotiate every Fairview Isles offer ourselves, starting from the closings that support your price: the median sale closed at 93.5 percent of final list, so an offer near 94 percent on a correctly priced house is the market, and one at 80 percent usually is not. Price, terms, inspection, insurance and the appraisal are negotiated together.
Most contracts here fail or get renegotiated in the inspection period, when the buyer’s insurance quotes arrive. We prepare for that before the listing goes live: a wind mitigation inspection where the roof or openings are newer, the elevation certificate, the roof age in writing and the permit history. When the buyer’s quote is built from documents and not from assumptions, there is less to renegotiate.
A financed buyer’s appraiser needs recent closings that match your house, and a neighborhood with a range from $485,000 to $5,940,000 offers plenty of wrong ones. We hand the appraiser the comparables by size, water and age, with the reason each belongs, so that a condominium sale on Estero Boulevard or a new bay-front house is not used against a 1970s canal house.
We answer with the record. Four of the 19 closings sold below 90 percent of final list, and the widest gap, 79.5 percent, followed 145 days on the market. An early low offer on a correctly priced home is countered with the nearest closings; a low offer after months on the market means revisiting the numbers we agreed at the start.
A buyer choosing between Fairview Isles and Laguna Shores, two canal neighborhoods about 1.1 miles apart in the Town of Fort Myers Beach, picks Fairview Isles for more homes and a faster-moving record, and Laguna Shores for the south end, the lagoon and more open land. Over 24 months Fairview Isles closed 33 homes and Laguna Shores 12.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
Both columns come from the same Southwest Florida MLS pull and the same county roll, and the 24-month window is used for both because Laguna Shores’ last 12 months hold only 8 closings. Fairview Isles figures exclude its condominium.

Fairview Isles trades more often: 69 closings in 60 months across 134 homes is about 10.3 percent a year, against 52 across 154 homes, about 6.8 percent, in Laguna Shores. Laguna Shores sellers collected a higher share of final list, 96.8 percent against 93.5, but waited more than twice as long, a median of 141 days against 67. About 20 percent of Laguna Shores parcels are coded vacant against about 9 percent here, so a buyer who wants to build has more to look at there.
A buyer who wants a dock is likelier to find one here, where the roll flags 59 docks against 26. A buyer who wants a lot to build on, or the island’s south point, will look at Laguna Shores. Tell your buyer what this neighborhood has on the record: more sales to judge value by, a shorter typical wait and base flood elevations at the tested points that top out a foot lower.
Selling a Fairview Isles home in Fort Myers Beach costs roughly 4.1 to 6.6 percent of the price, depending mostly on the commission you negotiate and whether you offer buyer-agent compensation. On a $955,000 sale that is about $39,173 to $63,048, and on a $750,000 sale about $31,075 to $49,825, before prorations and any mortgage payoff.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Department of Revenue documentary stamp tax rate, Florida title insurance rate schedule, NAR practice changes of August 17, 2024; Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026)
These are estimates, not a settlement statement. We show a 2.75 percent listing commission and an optional 2.5 percent for buyer-agent compensation; both are negotiable. The two prices are real closings in the Southwest Florida MLS: $955,000 is the October 5, 2026 sale at 16 Sunview Boulevard, which matches the neighborhood median, and $750,000 is the September 3, 2026 sale at 26 Fairview Boulevard. Florida charges documentary stamp tax of $0.70 per $100 of price, the owner’s title premium is $575 plus $5.00 per $1,000 above $100,000 up to $1,000,000, and in Lee County the seller customarily pays both, though the contract controls. Every line is rounded to the dollar.
This sheet assumes a mortgage-free seller and leaves out the property tax proration. The home was a 1,554 square foot canal house that closed after 6 days at 95.6 percent of its final list price.

Your mortgage payoff; the property tax proration, which is a credit to the buyer for the part of the year you owned the house; the solid waste assessment proration; any estoppel certificate fee if an association issues one (capped by statute; we print no dollar amount); and repairs or concessions agreed during the inspection period. For scale on the proration, the Town district’s 2026 applied millage of 13.3108 applied to a recorded price of $955,000 is $12,712 a year before exemptions, about $35 a day; your own figure follows your assessed value, which for a long-held homestead is usually far lower.
Possibly not, if the Fairview Isles home is your main home. Under Section 121, as IRS Topic 701 explains, a seller can exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 for a married couple filing jointly, on a main home owned and used for at least 2 of the 5 years before the sale. Florida has no state income tax.
Data updated: October 2026 (Internal Revenue Service Topic 701 and Publication 523; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
A second home or a rental does not qualify for the exclusion the same way, and the record shows why the question matters here. The median change across the 11 repeat sales of the last 12 months was a gain of $220,000, and four were gains of $305,000 or more. Gain is measured from your basis, which includes what you paid plus qualifying improvements such as a new roof, a seawall or an elevation project, so keep the receipts and the closed permits. A foreign seller may also face federal FIRPTA withholding. We are real estate agents, not tax advisers.
List your Fairview Isles home if it is insurable and financeable and you can give the market a season; take an investor cash offer only when the house sits low, needs work a buyer’s insurer or lender would not accept, or you must close in days; sell by owner only if you have a buyer and know the disclosure duties.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes 689.302 and 689.261; NAR practice changes of August 17, 2024; Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026)
Fairview Isles changes the comparison in one specific way: for an older house at grade in a VE zone, the real alternative to a retail buyer is often a builder who wants the lot. Our Fort Myers Beach seller page covers the island-wide picture.
| Path | Price you can expect | What you pay | Main risk | When it fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full listing | Highest, tested by the market | Commission, stamp tax, title and prorations | A price that ignores the nearest closings sits past 180 days, as half the active listings have | A house in marketable condition with time |
| Investor or builder cash offer | Below a well-priced listing; get it in writing | Often fewer repairs and fees, but a lower price | The discount can exceed the commission you save | A house needing work or elevation, or a fast close |
| Sale by owner | Untested unless you have a buyer | No listing commission, but your own disclosures and any negotiated buyer-agent compensation | Missed section 689.302 or 689.261 duties, or an appraisal with the wrong comparables | A known buyer and a legal review |

Price it from the nearest closed homes of your size, water and elevation, put the survey, elevation certificate, permit history and flood disclosure in the file before the first showing, and list it into the winter and spring season. Our Fairview Isles valuation page starts the price work.
Choose the agent who can show you the closings behind the price. McGreevy and Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, and we tracked all 69 Fairview Isles single-family closings of the last 60 months for this page.
The Southwest Florida MLS recorded 19 single-family closings in the 12 months to October 7, 2026, from $485,000 to $5,940,000, with a median of $955,000 and a median of $531 per square foot. Every one is listed on this page with its final list price.
The median was 98 days on market over the last 12 months, from 1 day to 438. Six of the 19 sold within 30 days and five took more than 180.
The median closing was 93.5 percent of the final list price over 12 months. Eighteen of 19 sold below final list, one above it, and four sold below 90 percent.
On October 7, 2026 the Southwest Florida MLS showed 14 active single-family listings from $734,800 to $1,725,000 and 1 pending at a list price of $625,000. Seven of the 14 had been on the market more than 180 days.
It leans that way. Fourteen active listings against 19 closings in a year is about 8.8 months of supply, the median sale took 98 days, and sellers accepted a median of 93.5 percent of final list.
No. The $955,000 median sits in the middle of a range from $485,000 to $5,940,000 and from $359 to $1,471 per square foot. Price from the sales that match your house.
The July 2026 sale at 15 Bayview Boulevard was a 4,038 square foot house on a bay lot, at an address that had sold in November 2022 for $1,425,000 with 1,974 square feet. It is a different product from a 1970s canal house, and the other 18 sales had a median of $952,500.
The two bay-lot sales of the last 12 months closed at $5,940,000 and $1,525,000, the highest and third-highest prices of the year. Two sales cannot set a premium, so we state none and price a bay lot against other bay lots.
Not by itself in this record. Ten 12-month closings without a boat dock flag had a median of $965,000, and the median of the 8 with one was $768,000, because size and lot dominated. A permitted, usable dock on a sound seawall is adjusted for individually.
Yes, mostly through elevation and insurance. The 12 pre-1980 homes that sold in the last 12 months had a median of $845,000, and the one dated 2023 or later closed at $1,825,000. The roll keeps the original year on a house raised in place, so we look at the floor height.
By the county’s legal descriptions, even-numbered Albatross addresses are on Fairview Isles plats and odd-numbered ones are on the Sandpiper Village plat, though the MLS tags several of both Fairview Isles. We check the legal description before listing so the buyer’s documents match.
No. The condominium at 6645, 6655 and 6665 Estero Boulevard is a separate 54-unit association whose sales had a median of $312,500 over 36 months. None of its sales should be used to price a house.
Over 60 months, 37 of 69 Fairview Isles closings fell from December through April and 32 from May through November, so the lean toward winter is mild. A fall listing is positioned for winter buyers.
Roughly 4.1 to 6.6 percent of the price before prorations and payoff, depending on commission and buyer-agent compensation. On a $955,000 sale our estimate is $39,173 without buyer-agent compensation and $63,048 with it, both negotiable.
On the $955,000 example, an estimated $891,952 to $915,827 before any mortgage payoff and tax proration. On the $750,000 example, $700,175 to $718,925. We prepare a net sheet for your own price.
By Lee County custom the seller pays the owner’s title policy and the documentary stamp tax on the deed, which is $0.70 per $100 of price under section 201.02. Custom is not law, and the contract controls. The buyer pays the lender’s policy and loan charges.
No. Since August 17, 2024 an offer of buyer-broker compensation cannot be advertised in the MLS, and whether to offer one is your decision. Many sellers still do, or offer a closing-cost concession. We show your net sheet both ways.
The survey, the elevation certificate, the permit history, roof and mechanical ages, seawall and dock permits, insurance declarations and any flood claim paperwork, the flood disclosure, and any recorded covenants or association papers.
Section 689.302, in effect since October 1, 2024, requires a seller of residential property to give the buyer a flood disclosure at or before contract. It asks about known flood damage, flood claims and flood assistance. Complete it from your own records.
Yes, where they are known facts that materially affect value and are not readily observable. That is the rule of Johnson v. Davis, and an as-is contract does not remove it.
The FEMA flood map indicates Zone AE at 10 to 11 feet and Zone VE at 12 feet at the Fairview Isles addresses we tested, on the panel effective November 17, 2022. Every tested point was in a Special Flood Hazard Area. An elevation certificate answers it for your lot.
Florida does not require one for a sale, but buyers, lenders and insurers ask for it, and without it a flood quote is a guess. If you lack one, ask a surveyor about a new one before you list.
It can. Work costing 50 percent or more of the building’s value must bring the house to the base flood elevation plus one foot, and the Town’s page states that permits from the past five years count. Your recent permits are part of your buyer’s renovation budget.
Disclose it and ask the Town and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection what is needed to correct it. Buyers and lenders ask for seawall and dock permits, and an unpermitted structure can reduce the price or stop a loan.
Fairview Isles Improvement Association, Inc. is active on the state’s records, filed in 1981. Whether membership is mandatory, what it charges and what it enforces are not confirmed, and listing agents described it as voluntary on 16 of 69 closings. Your title commitment settles it.
Only if an association with the power to assess your lot issues one; your closing agent decides. Where one is issued, Florida law caps the fee, and we print no dollar amount. In Lee County the seller customarily pays, though the contract controls.
Little or nothing to an association on the record we have: listing-entered annual recurring fees on 69 closings ranged from $0 to $100, not verified. The larger yearly costs are property tax, insurance and upkeep.
The single-family lots’ recorded terms are not published, so the recorded documents govern. The Town requires a licensed vacation rental to register within 90 days, and minimum stays depend on the zoning district, which we could not confirm. A buyer should request a Town zoning verification.
In the last 12 months, 9 of 11 county-recorded repeat sales closed above the previous recorded price, with a median change of a gain of $220,000. The two declines were $129,900 and $225,000.
Possibly not on a main home: the IRS allows an exclusion of up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 for a married couple filing jointly, if you owned and used the home as your main home for 2 of the last 5 years. Ask your tax adviser.
Over 24 months Fairview Isles closed 33 homes at a median of $820,000 in a median of 67 days, and Laguna Shores closed 12 at $739,500 in 141 days. Laguna Shores sellers collected 96.8 percent of final list against 93.5 percent here.
For an older house at grade, price both. The roll codes 14 lots vacant here and only 2 of 69 closings in 60 months were at addresses now coded vacant, so lot sales are few.
Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072. We will pull the closed homes nearest yours, walk the house and the seawall with you, and list the documents a buyer will ask for.
A Fort Myers Beach specialist knows which record a Fairview Isles house belongs to, which closings are true comparables, what the Town’s flood and permit rules mean for the next owner, and which documents an island buyer’s insurer will ask for. A listing that explains the house well holds its price through the inspection period.
Small facts cost sellers contracts here: a condominium sale used as a comparable because it shares the name, an Albatross Street house described under the wrong plat, a flood form answered from memory, or a dock advertised without its permit. As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we build the listing so that none of those reach the inspection period, and our Fort Myers Beach community guide gives your buyer the island context.
If you are thinking of selling a Fairview Isles home in Fort Myers Beach, call the team that prices from the closed homes nearest yours, assembles the survey, elevation, permit and flood file the day you list, and answers the buyer’s insurance and storm questions before they are asked. Few homes here come up for sale each year.
