Featured Blog and Development Pages
For all of you looking forward to brand-new condo building construction in Estero, I have details on two recent community pages on my website: West Bay Club and The Island at West Bay Club.
WEST BAY CLUB
West Bay Club, Estero’s hidden gem, is a gated community spanning 870 acres with 500 acres of wetlands and nature preserves. Residents enjoy premier amenities including golf, tennis, and a private beach club featuring Key West-style dining. The community offers a diverse range of homes, from expansive single-family residences to luxurious high-rise living, ensuring something for everyone. This serene retreat boasts beautifully landscaped gardens and over six miles of preserved waterfront, offering a tranquil escape from highway traffic and airport noise.
THE ISLAND AT WEST BAY CLUB
The Island at West Bay Club, a 24-story high-rise condo tower, offers 86 luxury residences with floor plans ranging from three + den to four bedrooms. It features stunning panoramic views of the Gulf of America (formerly Gulf of Mexico) and West Bay Club’s championship golf course. Developed by Kolter Urban and designed by Garcia Stromberg, this new construction is projected to be completed by late 2026/ early 2027. It offers spacious terraces and thoughtfully positioned corner residences, each with walls of glass overlooking Estero Bay, the Gulf, and nearby nature preserves. Signature amenities and attention to detail set a new standard for luxury living in Estero.

June 2024: Naples Market Trends and Commentary
In this month’s Naples real estate market trend review, I focused on the single-family home market highlighting 4 of Naples’ top luxury neighborhoods with sales activity over the last 5.5 years. Featured neighbourhoods are Port Royal, Aqualane Shores, Old Naples and the Crayton Road area which is comprised of Coquina Sands, Moorings and Park Shore. Keep in mind that many of these statistics compare sales activity in the first half of this year to the same timeframe last year which is the period after Hurricane Ian when there was a significant number of damaged properties that sold in the first half of 2023. It’s difficult to count the number of damaged homes sold but I found that for homes built before 1990, there were 94 sold in the 8 months after Ian and then only 31 sold in the same period a year later.
To scan previous months’ newsletters and monthly market commentary, head to website > RESOURCES > Newsletters.
The average sales price for a single-family home increased in 3 of 4 neighbourhoods over the last 6 months compared to the same period a year ago:
- Crayton Road area homes sold for $5,971,946, up 34%
- Old Naples homes sold for $8,575,000, up 11.9%
- Aqualane Shores homes sold for $11,133,333, up 12.2%
- Port Royal homes sold for $15,540,000, down 12.3%
The average sales price per square foot for a single-family home over the last 6 months compared to the same period a year ago:
- Crayton Road area homes sold for $1,450/SF, up 19.7%
- Old Naples homes sold for $2,249/SF, down 7.8%
- Aqualane Shores homes sold for $2,130/SF, up 0.2%
- Port Royal homes sold for $2,409, down 13.0%
This is one of the most revealing statistics regarding the current supply/demand balance of the real estate market activity since it combines the pace of sales with the number of properties currently available. The months of supply indicator measures how long it would take for all the properties on the market to be sold if sales continued at the current pace and no additional listings came on the market. Nationwide 6 months of supply is considered to be a balanced market but within the Naples market, higher price points typically have a higher supply and 10 to 20 months is a more typical level of supply.
The supply of single-family homes on the market as of 7/1/24 has moved lower in all neighbourhoods recently but is up considerably from the same date last year in 3 of 4 neighbourhoods:
- Crayton Road area had 12.3 months of inventory, up 50.0% (down from a peak of 13.5 months in March 2024)
