Englewood Pulls Further Ahead — But Something's Off | July 2026 Update

Englewood just pulled ahead of North Port and Port Charlotte, and it's not close. Months of inventory fell to 3.8 in July, making it the second-tightest market we track, behind only Venice. A year ago it was a full buyer's market at 7.4 months. But there's a number buried in this report that doesn't match the headline: days on market actually went up, not down, and prices are lower than a year ago. In this Englewood market update, we break down the flip, the twist, and what it means whether you're buying, selling, or staying put.
