The five highest-priced home sales reported in Greater Fort Myers / Cape Coral and the Islands, Florida for the week ending October 25, 2026, totaled $13.525 million. All five are single-family homes in Lee County, and the prices run from $3,750,000 at the top to $1,675,000 in fifth place.
The group spans a little more than two decades of building. The oldest was built in 2002 and the newest in 2026, and between them are homes on canals, a river and a lake, several with their own docks and boat lifts.
No. 1 — $3,750,000 · 5764 Staysail Ct, Cape Coral, Florida
Water is the story at 5764 Staysail Court, the week’s top sale. The renovated home in Cape Harbour, Cape Coral, is on a cul-de-sac and has about 220 feet of deep-water frontage, with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. A composite Captain’s Walk dock and a boat lift are on the water, and the views take in the canal and the mangroves.
Built in 2002, the two-story home has 4,903 square feet of living space, the most of any home in this week’s top five. It has five bedrooms, each with its own bath, and six bathrooms in all, five full and one half. Coffered and cathedral ceilings, marble and tile floors, a fireplace and custom millwork run through the main rooms, and wide expanses of glass look out to the water. The kitchen opens to the dining and living areas.
Entertaining gets serious space. The home has a private movie theater, and upstairs an entertainment lounge has a full bar and a waterfront balcony. Outdoors there is a heated saltwater pool and spa, recently resurfaced, along with a covered lanai, an outdoor kitchen and a fire pit. A three-car garage completes the property, which is minutes from the restaurants, shops and marina of Cape Harbour. The property last sold in 2023 for $3.3 million.
The home sold at its full asking price. Manuel Gutierrez of Dark Horse Real Estate was the listing agent for the week’s highest-priced sale, and Sarah Bolen of Realty One Group MVP represented the buyer.

The home is on the river, and its rear faces southwest over open water toward the sunsets. On the two floors, ceilings reach 12 feet on the first and 10 feet on the second. Double pocketing glass doors 24 feet wide open the living area to the lanai and an oversized pool with a spa, and the outdoor space adds a kitchen, a fire pit and an outdoor shower.
