How we count these numbers
- Median sold price
- The middle sale price of the homes that closed in the past 12 months. Half sold for more and half for less.
- Change from the year before
- The same figure for the 12 months before that, for the same home type. We show it when both years have at least five sales.
- Fewer than five sales
- On the home-type cards, median sold price appears only with five or more sales. With fewer, the card shows the range of what sold instead. Other card figures based on fewer than five sales show the number of sales beside them.
- Homes sold
- Homes that closed in the past 12 months.
- For sale now
- Active listings in the MLS on October 1, 2026.
- Under contract
- Homes with a contract signed in the past 120 days that had not closed by October 1, 2026.
- Months of supply
- How many months the homes for sale would last at the past 12 months’ pace of sales.
- Median days on market
- Days from the MLS listing date to the accepted contract, for the listing that sold, middle value. A relisted home starts this count over, so it can look newer than it is.
- Share of final asking price
- What sellers received as a share of the last asking price before the sale, middle value.
- Price per square foot
- The sale price divided by the living area, middle value. It lets you compare homes of different sizes.
- Previously listed
- Homes for sale with an earlier listing that expired, was withdrawn, or was terminated in the past 12 months, without a sale in between. Why homes get relisted.
- Sold on the first try
- A home with no expired, withdrawn, or terminated listing in the 12 months before it was listed.
- Relisted before selling
- A home with at least one expired, withdrawn, or terminated listing in the 12 months before the listing that sold. A sale to a new owner in between starts the clock over.
- Last listed price
- For a relisted home, the asking price on the expired, withdrawn, or terminated listing just before the listing that sold, as of the day that earlier listing ended.
- Days in all
- For a relisted home, the full days on market of each listing added together: the listing that sold plus every expired, withdrawn, or terminated listing that ended in the 12 months before it.
- Share of first asking price
- The sale price divided by the price the home first carried on the listing that sold.
- Home types
- From the MLS Building Design field, with filing errors corrected where the listing shows a different home type. A home type gets its own card only when the community has a real number of them.
Every figure comes from Florida Gulf Coast MLS records. The full method is on our Southwest Florida market methodology page.

- Each figure is the neighborhood or condominium fee for 2026, which includes the master association’s $29.85 a quarter. The district charge and club dues are extra, except where noted below.
- The district charge is $997 a year for 2026–27, the same as 2025–26. Homes inside the Lely Community Development District see it on the Collier County property tax bill. Alden Woods, Classics Plantation Estates, Cottesmore, Hawthorne and Lakoya are outside the district: their neighborhood fee already includes the same charge, so it is not added again in their totals.

- Ole owners have been paying a $9,600-a-unit special assessment in installments. Ask how much remains on a specific unit.
- Neighborhoods not in the table have too few recent sales for a reliable figure. Ask us and we will confirm the fees for a specific home.

Living in Lely Resort: a buyer’s guide
Lely Resort is a master-planned, all-ages community on about 2,900 acres in East Naples, between US 41 and Collier Boulevard. The first golf course opened in 1989, and building continued in stages for decades, so the neighborhoods range from early-1990s villas to homes finished in the 2010s. Stock Development was the master developer for most of that time.
One master association, the Lely Resort Master Property Owners Association, sits over about 48 neighborhood and condominium associations. Each neighborhood has its own association, fee and rules, and some have their own gate. The Lely Community Development District runs the main roads, the entrance landscaping, the lakes, the irrigation and the gate staff.
Inside Lely Resort
- Location: East Naples, between US 41 and Collier Boulevard, with entrances from both roads. Downtown Naples is to the northwest and Marco Island to the south.
- Gates: Set by each neighborhood. Several have staffed gatehouses, including Classics Plantation Estates and Lakoya, others have keypad gates, and the main roads are open.
- Golf: Three 18-hole courses: The Classics, which is private, and Flamingo Island and Mustang, which are open to the public.
- The Players Club and Spa: A 15-acre club with resort pools, a 6,000-square-foot fitness center, a spa, dining, 13 Har-Tru tennis courts, four pickleball courts and four bocce courts.
Types of Homes in Lely Resort
Lely Resort has every kind of home. Single-family neighborhoods include Classics Plantation Estates, Lakoya, Mustang Island, Lely Island Estates and Cordoba. Coach home neighborhoods, two-story buildings with a home on each floor, include Hawthorne, Legacy, Players Cove and Signature Club. Villas sit in Calumet Reserve and Moorgate Point, and the largest condo neighborhoods are Ole and Greenlinks.
The neighborhood decides most of what you pay and how you live: the association fee and what it covers, whether Players Club membership comes with the home, the gate and the lease rules. Compare two neighborhoods side by side before you compare two homes.
What Living in Lely Resort Is Like
Golf is a big part of life here. Flamingo Island and Mustang are open to the public, so you can play without joining, and The Classics is a private club with its own membership. Membership is separate from buying a home.
The Players Club and Spa is the social center for many residents, with resort pools, tennis, pickleball, bocce, fitness classes, a spa and dining. In 17 neighborhoods membership comes with the home, and in others it is optional.
Shopping and dining along Collier Boulevard and US 41 are close, and Lely Resort sits between downtown Naples and the beaches on Marco Island. Use the interactive What’s Nearby map to test the drives to the places that matter to you.
