Southwest Florida Golf Community Real Estate Trends

Your go-to resource for golf community real estate trends for Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, and Sarasota.

Similar to the last several months, inventory increased slightly in most luxury golf communities throughout Southwest Florida. Additionally, the average sales price rose in most communities.

Almost all of the “equity” golf communities have multi-year waitlists. However, there are options for immediate golf privileges in those communities. It is important to have an experienced golf community expert help you navigate your options to ensure you find the lifestyle, community, and golf course of your dreams.

With more than 200 golf communities between Naples and Sarasota, it is a challenge to navigate all the various options for golf membership. That’s where we come in. Our vast relationships with all the golf communities in Southwest Florida allow us to serve our clients by making the home-buying or selling process an easy and enjoyable one.

While it may seem overwhelming at first, once we know how often you play, other desired club amenities, property type, and price range, we can help you narrow the list of clubs down to a handful that will potentially offer you the Florida golf lifestyle you are looking for.

Below you will find highlights for the latest real estate statistics for single-family golf homes and golf condos in our area for the past 12 months.

February Real Estate Activity for Naples Florida

The latest February real estate activity reports showed 636 properties sold for just over $766 Million during the month. The highest-priced sale was a Port Royal estate for $26,400,000.

Additionally, 176 of the real estate transactions for the month were at or above $1 Million.

Ultimately, we have seen a shift in prices in many communities in the Naples area. Sellers who started out with “aspirational pricing” are now making price adjustments to align with market demand. It is important to note, price adjustments are community and even neighborhood specific. While some neighborhoods have an over supply of homes for sale, others have low inventory.
