Spanish Wells single-family median price was nearly unchanged

Single-family homes sold at a median of $785,000 over the 12 months ending October 1, 2026, about the same as $787,500 the year before, while sales rose from 34 to 45. Median price per square foot went from $339 to $322, so compare homes of similar size as well as total price.

Price also depends on the neighborhood. Cordova, the newest section, built from 2014 to 2016, had eight sales at a median of $946,500. The original Spanish Wells homes, built from 1983 to 2005, had 26 sales at a median of $790,000, and the single-family homes in Marbella had eight at $615,000. The other three single-family sales were in smaller sections. Eight sales is a small number, and homes differ in size, age and condition, so use the Cordova and Marbella figures as a guide.

Spanish Wells condo and coach home prices fell about 25%

Condos and coach homes sold at a median of $318,750, down from $423,750 the year before, while sales rose from 16 to 28. The drop shows up inside the two neighborhoods with the most sales. Marbella sold 13 at a median of $315,000, down from $425,500, and Las Brisas sold 11 at $322,500, down from $422,500. Median price per square foot also fell, from $242 to $199.

Spanish Wells villa sales

Three villas sold in the past 12 months, from $275,000 to $429,000. Two sold the year before. Two villas were for sale on October 1.

How to compare Spanish Wells home prices

Compare a home with sales of the same type in the same neighborhood. Cordova’s median sold price was $156,500 higher than the original Spanish Wells median, and association fees differ by neighborhood too.

Competition for sellers

How much competition a Spanish Wells seller faces

Eight of the 26 homes for sale on October 1 had an earlier listing end without a sale in the past 12 months.

Sixteen single-family homes were for sale on October 1, about four months of sales at the past year’s pace. Four of the 16 have a prior expired, withdrawn, or terminated record in the past 12 months, and three have been on their current listing 180 days or more. Eight condos and coach homes were for sale, about three and a half months of sales, and two of them had been listed before.

Single-family homes took a median of 71 days from listing to accepted contract on the listing that sold, and closed at a median 95.5% of their final asking price. Condos and coach homes took a median of 100 days and closed at 94.4% of their final asking price. Those percentages use the last asking price after any price cuts. On October 1, five homes were under contract, four single-family homes and one condo, down from nine on September 1.

What happened after relisting

What Spanish Wells homes sold for after relisting

Nine single-family homes sold in the past year after an earlier listing expired, was withdrawn, or was terminated. They sold a median of $86,000 below their last listed price, about 9% less, and spent a median of 195 days on the market across all their listings. Single-family homes that sold on the first try took a median of 77 days.

Seven condos and coach homes sold after a relist, a median of $75,250 below their last listed price, about 15% less, after a median of 477 days on the market across all their listings. Condos and coach homes that sold on the first try took a median of 94 days. Three of the 16 relisted homes took three or more listings to sell.

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.

Optional Membership

Spanish Wells golf membership costs: a membership you choose

Spanish Wells Golf and Country Club belongs to the residents through their community association, and Troon runs it. It is not an equity club. Outside Cordova no home comes with a membership, so you can join for golf, for sports or socially, or simply book tee times like any other golfer. Residents pay less to join than non-residents.

Club membership

Optional outside Cordova

Cordova homes carry a required Club Amenities membership, $262.50 a month, with full use of the club, discounted golf and no food minimum. Every other neighborhood chooses.

What the club charges to join and play

The club’s membership schedule, revised June 1, 2026

Budget a golf membership at more than the dues. A resident with the family trail fee pays $750, $65 and $200 a month. That comes to about $12,180 a year, plus the $800 food minimum and sales tax, after the $25,000 to join.

Cost of Ownership

Spanish Wells HOA fees and the full cost of owning a home

Every home here pays the master fee to the Spanish Wells Community Association, $3,031.45 a year in 2026, for the gates, the roads, the lakes, the grounds, reserves and community internet and TV. Each neighborhood collects it inside its own bill and adds its own share. Start with the kind of home you are considering, then pick the neighborhood or building named on the listing.

Association fees

$3,055 to $11,640 a year

Every neighborhood we can document, before property tax. Spanish Wells has no community development district.

At purchase

$5,050 to the master association at a resale closing. The buyer pays a $4,800 capital contribution and a $250 transfer fee. Each association also charges for its estoppel certificate, $299 for the master, and the contract decides who pays it. Lake Club adds a $2,000 contribution and a $150 application, and a Cordova buyer pays the club a $2,500 membership transfer fee.

Every yearly figure is the quarterly fee times four. Club dues are not in any figure except Cordova’s required membership, which is before sales tax.

The master fee comes from the Spanish Wells Community Association 2026 approved budget, and Lake Club from its 2026-27 budget. The other neighborhood and building fees are current as of October 2026. Unit One is not listed; it pays the master fee plus Unit One’s own dues, so ask us for that figure. The estoppel at closing confirms the exact amounts.

Four things the fee schedule does not show

Club amenities need a membership

The golf course takes public tee times. The pool, fitness center, tennis, bocce and pickleball courts need a club membership, and association fees do not include access to them.

Cordova comes with a club membership

Every Cordova home carries the Club Amenities membership, $262.50 a month plus sales tax, with discounted golf and no food minimum. A Cordova owner can choose the Cordova golf membership instead, $562.50 a month.

Internet and TV are in the master fee

Summit Broadband provides 1 Gig internet with a Wi-Fi 6 router, and DirecTV comes through the same arrangement. Together they are $1,136.28 of the master fee a year.

Unit One bills its own share

Unit One homes pay the master fee plus Unit One’s dues in one bill. We confirm the current figure for any Unit One home before you make an offer.

Verify the exact home. The master fee resets each January, Lake Club’s each April, and an individual home can carry its own charges. Before you make an offer we review the budgets and governing documents for that neighborhood: both fees, the capital contribution and the leasing rules. We also check the reserves, any pending special assessment and, for a condominium, the building’s milestone inspection and reserve study. The estoppel at closing confirms the final figures. To put these beside taxes, insurance and the rest, use our cost of owning a home in Southwest Florida breakdown.

Every home is a little different. Send us the address and we will confirm both fees, the capital contribution, any club requirement and the leasing rules for that neighborhood.

For Owners Who Rent

Renting out a Spanish Wells home: the lease rules

The master declaration allows whole-home leases of at least 30 days, with 30 days between lease starts. Most neighborhoods add a yearly cap, so two homes a street apart can follow different rules.

Rental limits

30 days minimum

Unit Two, Lake Club, the Golf Condos, Las Brisas and Marbella allow 3 leases a year. Cordova requires 90 days and allows 4.

The lease
Whole homes only, in writing, at least 30 continuous days. No room rentals or subleasing, and no new lease until 30 days after the last one began. Unit Two and Lake Club also cap a lease at one year, with no automatic renewals.
The paperwork
The lease goes to the neighborhood association first: Unit Two asks for 20 days’ notice and Unit Three for 30. Once approved, the master association sets up the tenant’s gate access.
The gate
Tenants on leases over 90 days get their own gate login. Shorter stays register guests by phone at least two hours ahead, and tenants staying 31 days or more can buy a $50 barcode.
The taxes
Rentals of six months or less can owe Florida sales tax and Lee County’s tourist development tax, so check what your booking platform collects. Unit Three reports rental addresses to Lee County.

Unit One and Unit Three follow the master rule and set no separate yearly cap that we can find. Confirm the cap for a specific home in writing before counting on a season.

We work with owners renting in Spanish Wells. If you are weighing a rental, we can check your neighborhood’s lease rules and what the home realistically rents for.

Detailed Buyer Guide

Living in Spanish Wells: a buyer’s guide

Aerial view of the Spanish Wells Golf and Country Club clubhouse in Bonita Springs, Florida, with its parking lot and tennis and pickleball courts in the foreground, a fountain pond on the golf course, and homes among the trees beyond

Spanish Wells is a gated, all-ages golf community in Bonita Springs, with 1,351 homes on about 600 acres. The club dates to 1979. The residents have owned it since January 2018, when the Spanish Wells Community Association bought it after an owner vote, and Troon runs it day to day.

Every home belongs to the master association, which collects its fee through the neighborhood associations. The eight neighborhoods are run by 10 neighborhood associations and 22 sub-associations in all, so a condominium can answer to its own building association as well.

Inside Spanish Wells

Location: South of Bonita Beach Road between U.S. 41 and Old 41, 3 miles from the Barefoot Beach access and minutes from I-75.
Gates: Three entrances. The main gate on Spanish Wells Boulevard is staffed 24 hours a day, the Cordova gate on Old 41 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the Marbella gate on Bonita Beach Road runs on resident barcodes and guest passes.
Club extras: Besides the 27 holes and the clubhouse, members get a 5,000-square-foot fitness center, five Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, Har-Tru bocce, a heated pool and an aqua driving range.

Spanish Wells single-family homes, condos, coach homes and villas

The neighborhood decides the home type, the second association and the leasing rules. Settle it first.

Units One, Two and Three are the original single-family sections, about 486 homes, most built in the 1980s and 1990s. Most are one story with a pool, at a median of about 2,350 square feet, and many back up to a fairway or lake.

Lake Club has 105 single-family homes from 1981 to 2003, about 2,100 square feet at the median, with lawn care in the association fee.

Cordova is 128 Toll Brothers homes from 2014 to 2018, about 2,050 to 3,000 square feet, most with a pool. It is the one neighborhood where a club membership comes with the home.

Marbella mixes 85 single-family homes with low-rise condominiums, built from 2004 to 2008. Las Brisas has coach homes, condominiums and villas from 1995 to 2003, and the Golf Condos date from 1984 to 1994. In all three, the condominium association insures and maintains the buildings.

What Living in Spanish Wells Is Like

Daily life here is neighborhood-sized. Residents walk and bike the streets. The neighborhoods run their own socials, from Unit Two’s Cocktails and Conversation to Unit Three’s cocktail parties, and no club membership is needed to go. Committees handle hurricane readiness, safety and the lakes, and a spring series on how the lakes and landscaping work drew neighbors out with a themed margarita.

Club members add golf leagues and tournaments, tennis and pickleball programs, a bocce league and fitness classes. Member events run from the Labor Day tournament to music bingo and trivia nights. The clubhouse also serves as the community’s meeting place, with the Pub and the Crow’s Nest for dining. Ask the club about current dining access for non-members.

The course itself is not a walking trail: no walking, biking, fishing or dog walking on the fairways or cart paths. Use the interactive What’s Nearby map to test the drives to the beach, Coconut Point and the places that matter to you.

What to Know Before You Buy

At closing: The buyer pays a $4,800 capital contribution and a $250 transfer fee to the master association. Lake Club adds a $2,000 contribution and a $150 application, and a Cordova buyer pays the club a $2,500 membership transfer fee. Each association also charges an estoppel fee, and the contract decides who pays it.
Yearly fees: Every home pays the master fee, $3,031.45 a year in 2026, inside its neighborhood’s bill. Totals run from about $3,055 a year in Unit Two to about $11,640 for some Marbella condominiums. Spanish Wells has no community development district.
Community rules: The speed limit is 25 miles per hour, vendors work weekdays and Saturdays only, and open houses run Sundays from noon to 5. Fishing is catch-and-release from the homeowner side of a lake, and swimming and boating are not allowed.
Pets: Leashed off your property and never on the golf course. Neighborhoods and condominium buildings set their own limits on number, size and approval.
Schools: Served by Lee County Public Schools, which places students through School Choice rather than by address.
Leasing: Whole homes only, 30 days at the least. Most neighborhoods allow 3 leases a year, and Cordova requires 90 days. The full rules are in the leasing section above.
