Summary of Southwest Florida Luxury Golf Home Trends

Overall, the latest real estate trends for Luxury homes in golf communities throughout Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers show the market for luxury properties continues to reflect the reduction in inventory. There are now only a few golf communities with an oversupply of inventory and therefore are considered great buying opportunities.

Whether you are considering a single-family home or a condo in a luxury golf community, inventory levels vary by community. A healthy level of inventory is between 6-7 months of supply of properties available. Since each community varies we recommend you use a real estate agent familiar with golf communities to navigate your way through your options.

Here are a couple of examples to show why it is important to have a very good understanding of the community and whether the inventory levels are healthy, or have high or low supply. Grey Oaks only has 3 condos for sale and only 4.5 month’s supply of inventory which makes condos in this community a seller’s market. On the flip side, if you were looking for a single family home in Mediterra, there’s over a 13 month supply of Naples homes for sale making it a buyer’s market.

Also, fewer Luxury Golf Communities have more than 10 months’ supply of single-family home inventory. They include, Audubon Country Club, Pelican Landing, Mediterra, Miromar Lakes, and West Bay. So, if your a luxury home buyer, now would be a great time to look at property in one of these communities since there is an oversupply of luxury homes for sale. As a result, there should be room for negotiating a great price.
