What Do Bonita Springs Lots Sell For?
From our Lee County vacant lot market report, built from Property Appraiser sales records, Bonita Springs vacant residential lots from October 2025 through September 2026:
| Measure | Bonita Springs |
|---|---|
| Single-lot sales | 58 |
| Median sale price | $225,000 |
| Middle half of sales | $145,000 to $450,000 |
| Median lot size | 0.25 acre |
| Prior 12 months | 59 sales, $210,000 median |
With fewer than 100 sales a year, the Bonita Springs median can swing based on how many waterfront or west-of-US-41 lots sold. Water access, flood zone, lot width and whether an old structure needs to come down make a big difference. The assessed value on the Property Appraiser site is a tax value, not a market price.
