Southwest Florida Market forecasts in the next 18 months

Based on where the data stand as of September 4, 2026, I expect the next 18 months to be a slow transition rather than a housing crash. Nationally, the market should gradually improve, but Southwest Florida—and especially Lehigh Acres—will probably remain tougher for sellers and speculative builders than the U.S. overall for much of that period.

The biggest issue right now is financing. The average 30-year mortgage just reached 6.71%, the highest in about 13 months. That keeps monthly payments high and makes buyers extremely price-sensitive.
