How’s the Condo Market in Pelican Bay in 2025?
As a follow up to my post How’s the Market in Naples in 2025? I have produced a simlar report for Pelican Bay Condos. As Condo sales account for 80% or more of all sales in Pelican Bay, I have not produced the charts for Single Family and Villa sales. Because of the much smaller number of those sales, they are more appropriately monitored on a quarterly basis and are included in my quarterly reports. Because there were only 3 very high-prices sales in November 2024 I have excluded that month from the chart. In general, the median price in recent years has been in the $1.1-1.5 million range, with the usual seasonal variations: Higher early in the year when more buyers of higher-priced properties are here, dropping in the summer and picking up again in the Fall.

2 of Every 25 U.S. Homes Worth at Least $1M
While $1M signified luxury property a short while ago, it’s now 8% of the nation’s housing stock – but a large percentage of those homes are still in Pacific Coast states..
The share of homes worth seven figures is on an upswing after dipping to a 12-month low (7.3%) in February because prices are rising on a year-over-year basis after a decline early in the year.
Overall, the median U.S. home-sale price rose 3% in July, the biggest increase since last November, according to Redfin, with luxury home prices rising even faster – up 4.6% year over year to $1.2 million in the second quarter.
Elevated mortgage rates discourage potential home sellers, who are staying put to keep their relatively low mortgage rates. As a result, inventory dropped so low that buyers still in the market are competing for those few homes that are for sale. That’s driving up home prices and pushing many of those listings above the million-dollar mark.
“The supply shortage is making many listings feel hot,” said Redfin Economics Research Lead Chen Zhao. “In most of the country, expensive properties that are in good condition and priced fairly are attracting buyers and in some cases bidding wars, mostly because for-sale signs are few and far between right now.”
The share of homes worth seven figures has doubled since before the pandemic. In June 2019, just over 4% of homes were valued at $1 million or more. (more…)
Hot Home Trend: Gothic Glam
Here’s one home style that could be described as eerily bold. Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery’s latest style report, 2023 Trends & Influences IX calls out “gothic glam” as a trend to watch in the new year.
Signatures of this look includes statement lighting fixtures, such as wrought-iron chandeliers and candelabras. To soften the style, pair it next to tall windows that flood a room with natural light, but also adds to the drama.
Other ways to add some Gothic Glam impact: Bronze plumbing fixtures, black accents, woodwork, vivid jewel tones and ultra-glamorous wallcoverings, Ferguson designers note in the style report.
Here are some stunning examples: (more…)

Built in 2014, the 16,000-square-foot estate features six bedrooms, a glass wine room, a gourmet kitchen, a game room and a second-level pool and came furnished in the transaction.
$10 million plus sales more than double in 2021
High-end home buyers were a tour de force in 2021, and Los Angeles was their shopping destination of choice, according to an inaugural ultra-luxury-focused report from Compass released Wednesday.
Across the U.S. last year, more than 2,300 residential properties priced at $10 million or more changed hands across the 30 major markets the brokerage profiled—more than twice as many deals as in 2020.
Los Angeles took the lion’s share of those trophy-home sales, with 27.3%—or 628—of all $10 million-plus sales occurring in La La Land. Next in line was Manhattan, with 326 transactions, followed by Palm Beach, Florida, with 203.
Across all 30 markets analyzed, more than $40 billion was spent on residential real estate at or above $10 million, the report said, a 138% surge from 2020. (Mansion Global)

Sanibel/ Captiva 2021 Market Report
Sanibel Island Beaches are some of the most unique barrier islands of the world, having an east-west orientation when most islands are north-south. Captiva Island is just over a small bridge which crosses at Turner Beach.
Sales, median prices and prices per sq.ft (PSF). all grew strongly in 2021. The drop in the Condo median price from Q3 to Q4 was the result of the mix of sales: the median PSF increased slightly.
