Updated September 2026 · Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, Domain Realty · Values from Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales (DOR-qualified, index built 29 September 2026) and the 2026 county roll for all 75 Botanika parcels, Southwest Florida MLS pulled 29 September 2026

What is your Botanika home worth? This is McGreevy and Comisar’s valuation guide for owners of the 75 condominium homes in the three buildings of Botanika at Bonita Fairways, described in full in our Botanika at Bonita Fairways guide. It is built from every qualified Botanika sale the Lee County deed record shows, building by building, floor by floor and plan by plan, and from the county’s own 2026 value on each unit. If you are deciding whether to sell, it sits beside our guide to selling your home in Botanika at Bonita Fairways; if you are also buying, read our guide to buying a home in Botanika at Bonita Fairways.

Here is the short answer. Botanika is a 2024 building with a two-part market, so no single number is your number. In the 24 months from September 2024, the first window with ten or more sales, 62 Botanika homes recorded a $399,670 median at $356.00 per heated square foot, but 55 of those were first sales from the developer. The seven recorded resales carry a $320,000 median at $325.26 per heated square foot, and only three sales, all resales, fall in the 12 months from September 2025. Your home’s value lives between those two figures, and it moves with your plan size, your building, your floor and what a buyer can still buy new on the same street.

Botanika sits inside Bonita Fairways, the gated golf community in Bonita Springs. Our office is on South Tamiami Trail, and McGreevy and Comisar have been Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008. Every figure below comes from the county’s recorded sales and roll, the Southwest Florida MLS or a recorded document, not from a listing portal’s estimate.

What Is My Botanika Home Worth in 2026?

A Botanika home is worth what comparable Botanika homes of its plan size, building and floor recently sold for, adjusted for condition and for the competition from new homes still sold by the developer. In the 24 months from September 2024, the first window with ten or more county sales, 62 sales recorded a $399,670 median at $356.00 per heated square foot.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, DOR-qualified, index built 29 September 2026, newest Botanika sale 16 March 2026; county roll, 2026 values; Southwest Florida MLS, pulled 29 September 2026).

Sixty-two is an even count, so the $399,670 median is the mean of the two middle sales, $399,420 and $399,920. Windows begin on the first of the month, so 24 months means September 2024 onward; a strict day count from 29 September 2024 holds 55 sales at a $399,420 median, and we state both so they reconcile. Price per square foot is per heated square foot, which leaves out balconies and parking.

Three facts that explain almost every Botanika value

  • The plan size. First-sale price per heated square foot ran $342.28 for one-bedroom homes, $355.86 for two-bedroom and $363.10 for three-bedroom homes, so the price steps come from square feet, from 771 to 1,639 on the county roll.
  • First sale or resale. The seven resales carry $325.26 per heated square foot against $356.46 for the 69 first sales, 91.2 percent of the developer’s figure.
  • The county’s number is not the market. The county’s 2026 value has a $316,015 median, and the 76 recorded sales ran at a 1.298 median multiple of it.

Key Takeaways

These are the ten facts that shape what a Botanika home is worth in September 2026, each drawn from the county’s recorded sales and roll, the Southwest Florida MLS, the recorded Bonita Fairways instruments or Florida law.

  • Headline median: $399,670 on 62 sales in the 24 months from September 2024, at $356.00 per heated square foot, from $250,000 to $606,460. It blends 55 first sales with 7 resales.
  • Resales: $320,000. The seven recorded resales, all history, ran from $250,000 to $416,000 at $325.26 per heated square foot, 91.2 percent of the first-sale figure.
  • Last 12 months: three sales, all resales. They recorded $343,895, $250,000 and $339,000, so we list them rather than average them.
  • Direction: softer since the sell-out. Yearly medians were $411,860 in 2024 on 57 sales, $399,920 in 2025 on 17 and $294,500 in 2026 to March on 2, and five of seven same-home pairs resold below the first price.
  • The plan decides the price. Across 69 first sales the medians ran $277,308 for one-bedroom, $394,660 for two-bedroom and $523,588 for three-bedroom homes.
  • Buyers see 10 asking prices. The MLS showed 10 active Botanika listings on 29 September 2026 at a $529,950 median ask, about 28 percent above the $413,860 median first-sale price.
  • The county roll runs low. The 2026 county value of a Botanika home has a $316,015 median, and 73 of the 76 recorded sales beat the parcel’s own 2026 value.
  • Your buyer pays $2,500. The Bonita Fairways resale contribution falls on the buyer of a resale; a purchaser from Cedar Green Homes and a short list of family and estate transfers are exempt.
  • Botanika’s own fee is not published. The estoppel certificate, the adopted budget or the state prospectus answers it, and the master assessment is probably $1,100 for 2026.
  • Warranties stay with the building. On our arithmetic the unit warranty runs to about mid to late 2027, which a resale buyer inherits with whatever time remains.

Why Value Your Botanika Home With McGreevy and Comisar?

McGreevy and Comisar value Botanika homes from the recorded sales of Botanika itself, plan by plan and building by building, not from a Bonita Springs or ZIP-code average. We are a two-partner Bonita Springs team, Top 1% nationally since 2008, and before we give a Botanika owner a number we read the county’s 76 recorded sales, the 2026 value on each of the 75 unit parcels, the recorded Bonita Fairways instruments and the developer’s own price history.

We lead Domain Realty Group, and with our team we have sold over $2.5 billion in real estate, over $900 million of it in our own personal sales. Before you interview agents, read our comparison of the best real estate agents in Bonita Springs, which scores agents on license dates, Google reviews and production.

A valuation built from 76 sales and 75 unit records

We tracked every one of the 76 qualified Botanika sales from August 2024 to March 2026, one county record at a time, and matched each to the county’s 2026 value for the same unit, so when an owner asks what a two-bedroom in Building B is worth, the answer starts with that plan’s sales in that building, not a $399,670 headline.

What this edition does not measure

The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled 29 September 2026, supplies days on market, sale-to-list and listing counts. In the 24 months to that date, the first MLS window with ten or more Botanika closings, 27 units closed at a $411,860 median, a median 31 days on market and a 100.0% median sale-to-list ratio. In the 12 months only 2 closed, at a $294,500 median (the mean of $250,000 and $339,000), a median 174 days on market and 94.8% of the final list price. On 29 September 2026 the MLS showed 10 active listings, none pending, at a $529,950 median ask from $300,000 to $587,460.

Domain Realty, our brokerage, closed 671 transaction sides in Bonita Springs in the 60 months to October 5, 2026, $399.7 million in volume counted by side, per the Southwest Florida MLS pulled that day. McGreevy and Comisar are the #5 real estate team in Florida and the #1 real estate team in Bonita Springs in the 2026 RealTrends rankings. We also do not know which of the ten actives are the developer’s inventory, the condition of any home, or the contract terms behind a recorded price, and county records lag by several weeks.

To get a free Botanika home valuation, enter your address in the valuation form on this page, or request your Botanika home valuation directly, or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072. We reply the same day with a value range built from the recorded Botanika sales of your plan size and building, and a full pricing file with the listings you would compete against after a short walk-through.

What we send you

A range for your home, the recorded Botanika sales we used with their dates, buildings, plan sizes and prices, the ten active listings you would compete with, and the adjustments we made for your building, floor, plan and condition. Because the last 12 months hold only three sales, we show each one individually.

What we need from you

Your building and floor, bedroom count and heated square feet, the date and price you paid, any upgrades, and whether the home is leased. Send any estoppel certificate, budget or wind-mitigation report you hold.

Why Does an Online Estimate Miss Botanika Values?

Automated estimates miss Botanika values because 75 condominium homes trade a handful of times a year, because a 2024 building has almost no resale history for a model to learn from, and because a model cannot tell a developer’s first-sale price from a resale price, which sit about 9 percent apart per square foot.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales and 2026 roll; Southwest Florida MLS, pulled 29 September 2026).

A building with almost no resale history

Botanika’s first sale recorded on 2 August 2024, and the county file shows just seven resales since. A model trained on older condominiums borrows from Bermuda Links, The Gardens at Bermuda Links and Rosewood Pointe Garden, where the median sale runs $233.33 to $277.35 per heated square foot, and prices a Botanika home near them. Botanika’s own record runs $356.00.

The developer’s price is not the resale price

The 69 first sales recorded a $413,860 median at $356.46 per heated square foot; the seven resales recorded $320,000 at $325.26. An estimate that averages the two produces a number that describes neither: too low for a home still sold new by the developer, too high for the resale a buyer will actually compare it with.

The plan, not the bedroom count, sets the price

The county’s bedroom count and the developer’s plan names do not agree, because the developer counts some dens as bedrooms and the county does not. We price on heated square feet and the plan.

The fee and the paper are invisible to a model

Botanika’s own condominium fee, declaration, budget and rules are not published; a buyer’s estoppel certificate is where they appear. A model sees a price and a size and none of this. Our Botanika guide maps what is known and what is not.

How Do We Value a Botanika Home?

We value a Botanika home the way an appraiser would: select the recorded sales of the same plan size, building and floor, separate first sales from resales, adjust each for size, condition and time, weight the most similar and most recent, then test the result against the ten active listings and the developer’s remaining inventory on the day you would launch.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales and roll, index built 29 September 2026; qualification per the Lee County Property Appraiser transfer code list and the Florida Department of Revenue sale qualification codes; Southwest Florida MLS, pulled 29 September 2026).

Step one: the right comparables, from the right window

This is the discipline behind our Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 record. We count only sales the county coded as qualified, arm’s-length sales of an improved property, and use the first window that holds ten or more, naming the window and the count beside every figure. For Botanika that is 24 months from September 2024, with 62 sales; where a window holds fewer than ten, as the 12-month window does with three, we list the sales.

Step two: separate the developer from the resale

A first sale from Cedar Green Homes, L.L.C. and a resale are different products: the first comes with the developer’s disclosure package, first-owner warranties and no $2,500 Bonita Fairways contribution, while the resale comes with the remaining building warranties, an estoppel certificate and a buyer-paid contribution. The seven resales ran at $325.26 per heated square foot against $356.46 for the 69 first sales, so we price a resale from resales and treat first sales as the ceiling.

Step three: adjust for what Botanika buyers pay for

The adjustments that matter most are heated square feet inside the plan, the building, the floor, the bedroom and den count, the balcony and outlook, the parking assignment, appliance age and any upgrades beyond the developer’s finishes. Each is priced from paired Botanika sales where the record allows, and we never adjust for what the seller paid. Then we line up the competition: on 29 September 2026 the MLS showed 10 active Botanika listings, none pending, asking $300,000 to $587,460 at a $529,950 median.

A worked example: a 978-square-foot two-bedroom in Building B

Two homes of the 978-square-foot, two-bedroom plan first sold in Building B in August 2024 for $318,560 and $325,997, a $322,279 median (the mean of the two, rounded) at $329.53 per heated square foot, and both resold: $343,895 in September 2025 and $320,000 in June 2025. At the resale median of $325.26 per heated square foot, 978 square feet works out near $318,100; at the first-sale median of $356.46 near $348,600. That is arithmetic, not a valuation, but the two actual resales sit inside that band, so a home of this plan in good condition supports a range from the low $320,000s to the mid $340,000s.

What Did Botanika Homes Sell For in the Last Five Years?

Botanika homes recorded 76 qualified sales from 2 August 2024 to 16 March 2026, so the five-year window holds every sale the building has ever had: 69 first sales from the developer and 7 resales, at a $405,690 median, from $250,000 to $614,008, for $30,365,936 in recorded volume. Three of the 76 recorded in the last 12 months.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, DOR-qualified, index built 29 September 2026; windows measured from the first of the month; Southwest Florida MLS, pulled 29 September 2026).

Botanika’s first recorded sale is 2 August 2024, so the 36-month, 60-month and all-history rows are identical. The 76 sales carry an even count, so the $405,690 median is the mean of the middle pair, $399,920 and $411,460. The 69 first sales total $28,167,041 in recorded consideration and the 7 resales $2,198,895.

The last 12 months: three sales, listed

The three sales of the 12 months from September 2025 were $343,895 in Building B (12 September 2025, 978 heated square feet), $250,000 in Building A (17 February 2026, 784) and $339,000 in Building C (16 March 2026, 1,160), $932,895 in all. They are three homes in three buildings and three sizes, so they describe three homes, not a market, and we report no median. In the last 12 months we counted these three recorded resales and two MLS closings, and read each against its building, size and first sale.

The seven recorded resales

The seven resales, dated in the repeat-sale table below, have a $320,000 median, the fourth in price order, and a $325.26 median per heated square foot, from $250,000 to $416,000. No three-bedroom home has resold on the county record, so a three-bedroom owner values from first sales and the ten active asking prices, discounted for the resale gap.

The top and the bottom of the range

The highest recorded sale is $614,008, a 1,639-square-foot three-bedroom first sale in Building B on 9 August 2024; the lowest is $250,000, the February 2026 resale of a 784-square-foot one-bedroom in Building A. One 1,635-square-foot first sale in Building B recorded $319,279, or $195.28 per heated square foot, against $606,460 ($370.92) for the same plan in May 2025; we keep it in the counts and give it no weight in a valuation.

The sale the county file leaves out

The county’s live parcel layer on 29 September 2026 shows one Botanika sale that is not in the sales file used for every figure here: a three-bedroom of 1,423 heated square feet in Building B, recorded 17 August 2026 at $485,000, or $340.83 per heated square foot, flagged qualified and the first sale ever recorded for that home. It shows the developer was still closing new homes in August 2026. We exclude it from every median, because the sales file ends on 16 March 2026 and we do not mix the two record sets.

What Is a Botanika Home Worth by Building, Floor and Plan?

A Botanika home is worth most by its size: across 69 first sales the median ran $280,556 under 900 heated square feet and $570,067 at 1,500 and up, while price per square foot barely moved, $351 to $362. Building and floor matter far less than plan size, so we value from the plan first and adjust for the building and floor second.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, all 69 first sales and 7 resales, August 2024 to March 2026; county roll, 75 unit parcels, 2026).

The unit mix on the county roll

The roll lists 75 unit parcels: 12 one-bedroom homes of 771 to 921 heated square feet, 36 two-bedroom homes of 878 to 1,635 and 27 three-bedroom homes of 1,263 to 1,639, every one with two baths. The median home has 1,197 heated square feet. The developer markets 12 plans, from the 833-square-foot Aspen-I to the 1,673-square-foot Cottonwood-II, and counts some dens as bedrooms where the county does not, so we match a home by its county heated area and plan name, not by bedroom count alone.

Are Botanika Values Rising or Falling?

Botanika values are softer than the developer’s 2024 prices, and the resale market is thin. Yearly medians ran $411,860 in 2024 on 57 sales, $399,920 in 2025 on 17 and $294,500 in 2026 to March on 2, and five of the seven homes that sold twice resold below their first price, so read the direction, not the decimals.

The 2024 figure is the developer’s launch. The 2025 median fell $12,000 from 2024 because resales entered the mix, while the 12 first sales of 2025 recorded a higher $427,052 median on larger homes. The 2026 row is two sales and shows nothing but the two resales it holds.

What the first-sale months show

First-sale price per heated square foot climbed from $332 to $338 in August and September 2024 to $353 to $380 from October 2024 through June 2025, so the developer’s later buyers paid about 6 to 12 percent more per square foot than its earliest, which is why a 2025 resale at $325 per square foot looks so far below the developer’s later prices.

What repeat sales of the same home show

The cleanest measure of a home’s direction is the same home sold twice. Seven Botanika homes have sold twice, every one a first sale followed by a resale, and five of the seven resold below the first price.

-10.9%

Across the seven pairs the median change is minus 10.9 percent over a median hold of 369 days. The four pairs held longer than a year show a median annualized change of minus 4.15 percent over a median hold of about 1.1 years. With seven pairs this describes what happened to seven homes; it is not a forecast, and the deeds do not show upgrades, furniture or credits between the two sales. Owners who bought in the first weeks and held a year were the only ones ahead.

What the neighboring condominium shows

The Gardens at Bermuda Links, the nearest older condominium, has a longer record: its 96 pairs of the same home sold at least a year apart show a median compound gain of 7.2 percent a year over a median hold of 5.9 years, and only 4 of 96 resold for less. It was built in 2007 with recorded sales back to 2009; Botanika’s record runs 19 months.

Seasonality

The county record does not yet prove a season: Botanika’s seven resales recorded in June (2), August (2), September (1), February (1) and March (1), and first sales followed a launch curve. With 43 of 75 owners holding a mailing address outside Florida or the United States, a home priced and photographed before the winter season meets buyers when they arrive.

One Home’s Public Record: A Two-Bedroom on Rosewood Pointe Drive, 2024 to 2025

One 978-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bath home in Building B, 26600 Rosewood Pointe Drive, shows in the county’s own record how a Botanika price moves between the developer’s first sale and a resale: it sold new on 6 August 2024 for $318,560 and resold on 12 September 2025 for $343,895, 402 days later and 8.0 percent higher. We did not represent either side of either sale; we read them from the county record.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales and 2026 roll, building address only; costs are our illustration, not the owner’s actual closing statement).

The home

The plan is 978 heated square feet with two bedrooms and two baths, in the building that sold first. The county values the home for 2026 at $278,067, the same as the other home of this plan, which gives us a control.

Both first sales recorded within nine days of each other at $318,560 and $325,997. The two resales, three months apart, recorded $320,000 and $343,895, a $23,895 spread on an identical plan in an identical building. Every one of the four transfers was qualified by the county.

What the record teaches a seller

The same 978 square feet recorded $325.73, $327.20 and $351.63 per heated square foot across three sales, an 8.0 percent gain for one owner and a 1.8 percent loss for the other. Your purchase price is not your value; the recent resales of your plan are, and identical homes were $23,895 apart in one summer. The $343,895 sale landed at 123.7 percent of the county’s 2026 value of $278,067, which is what a well-supported Botanika resale looks like against the roll. And an 8.0 percent gain is not a profit until sale costs are paid.

What would the seller have netted?

On our illustration numbers, at $343,895 with a 2.75 percent listing commission, a 2.5 percent buyer-agent offer where made, deed stamps of $2,407.30, a $1,795 title premium, a $1,200 settlement fee, a $175 lien search and two estoppels at the $299 cap, costs total $15,632.41 without buyer-agent compensation and $24,229.79 with it. The net before payoff would be $328,262.59 or $319,665.21, which is $9,702.59 or $1,105.21 above the $318,560 the owner paid, about 3.0 percent or 0.3 percent, before the owner’s purchase costs and carrying charges over 402 days. An 8.0 percent recorded gain and a near-zero net gain are the same sale, seen before and after costs.

Why this sale matters for your valuation

It has the highest price per heated square foot of the seven resales, the top of the range for a small two-bedroom, and its twin at $320,000 is the middle. See what your Botanika home is worth against this record, or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

What Moves a Botanika Home’s Value Up or Down?

The biggest value drivers for a Botanika home are its heated size and plan, whether it competes as a resale against the developer’s own inventory, the time left on the statutory warranties, and the condition of what the owner maintains. A resale competes with new homes from Cedar Green Homes, L.L.C. on the same street, where the buyer pays no $2,500 contribution, and ten active listings asked a $529,950 median on 29 September 2026, about 33 percent above the $399,670 median, so a price set from the asks waits.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales and roll; recorded Bonita Fairways instruments; Florida Statutes 718.203, 718.301 and 718.503; the developer’s published plans; retrieved 24 to 29 September 2026).

Plan size and bedrooms

Size comes first: the median first sale ran $280,556 under 900 heated square feet and $570,067 at 1,500 and up. Bedroom and den count comes second, because a three-bedroom of 1,263 heated square feet in Building A first sold at a $368.28 median per square foot against $342.19 for the two-bedroom plan of the same size in Building B, about 7.6 percent more.

The warranty clock

Under Florida Statutes 718.203 a new condominium unit carries a three-year warranty from completion of its building, and the warranty passes to successor owners. Certificate of occupancy dates are not in any record we could reach, so our end date is an estimate, about mid to late 2027, which a resale buyer inherits with whatever time remains. The one-year warranty on items conveyed with the unit and the appliance warranties belong to the first purchaser.

The rules that shape the buyer pool

The Bonita Fairways master declaration sets a 30-consecutive-day minimum lease under Section 5.17 and bars pets in leased units under Section 5.18, and short-term rentals are not permitted. The master text does not require approval of a buyer. Botanika’s own declaration may be stricter under master Section 11.5 and is not posted, so an investor buyer has an unread rule to price. Parking assignments and storage are answered by the same unposted declaration.

Flood zone and insurance

FEMA’s map places each of the three buildings in Zone X shaded, outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, and every Bonita Fairways address is in Lee County Evacuation Zone A. The developer’s phrase “no-flood zone” is not a FEMA category. A buyer’s insurer will ask for a wind-mitigation report on the state’s Form OIR-B1-1802, and documented impact windows and appliance dates give an appraiser something to adjust for.

How Do Fees, Associations and Insurance Affect Value?

Fees affect a Botanika home’s value through what a buyer must pay each year and once at closing, and here the biggest unknown is the one no public document answers: Botanika’s own condominium assessment is not published. The known layers come to about $520 a month before that assessment and insurance, and a seller who brings the estoppel certificate and budget to the table protects the price.

Data updated: September 2026 (Bonita Fairways 2026 master budget; recorded Instrument 2024000069667; Lee County Property Appraiser 2026 TRIM notice, district 017; City of Bonita Springs; Florida Statutes 718.111, 718.116 and 718.503).

What an unpublished fee does to value

A buyer who cannot see the condominium fee builds in a cushion or asks for the estoppel and budget before offering. For Botanika the documents that answer it are the association’s estoppel certificate, its adopted budget and the developer’s prospectus under Florida Statutes 718.504; the manager, Gulf Breeze Management Services of SWFL, can provide the current budget and rules. We never guess a fee.

The master assessment and the $2,500 contribution

The master budget uses “736 doors @ $1,100,” and the 2026 annual meeting roll call counts 744 units including Botanika’s 75, so Botanika is very probably assessed the $1,100; we call it probable until an estoppel says so. The Declaration’s Section 9.12, recorded 12 March 2024, imposes a one-time $2,500 contribution on the transferee, which the buyer of a resale pays; clause (g) exempts a purchaser from Cedar Green Homes, L.L.C. or its affiliates. A buyer subtracts it from the offer.

That is about $520 a month in known layers. We show buyers tax on the sale price, not on the county’s $316,015 median value, which would tax at about $4,052, because a seller’s exemption and Save Our Homes cap do not carry to a buyer.

Is the Property Appraiser’s Value the Same as Market Value?

No. The Lee County Property Appraiser’s just value is a January 1 mass appraisal set by plan, and for Botanika it runs well below what homes have sold for: the 2026 values on the 75 unit parcels have a $316,015 median, while 73 of the 76 recorded sales beat their own parcel’s 2026 value, at a 1.298 median multiple.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser 2026 just values on all 75 Botanika unit parcels, queried 29 September 2026, compared with the 76 qualified sales through 16 March 2026).

The county values Botanika by plan, with 28 distinct values across 75 homes and a median of $269.57 per heated square foot, which is about 24 percent below the $356.00 the market has paid. The first-sale multiple is 1.308 and the resale multiple 1.112, so the roll runs about 10 percent below what resales have recorded and about 24 percent below what the developer’s buyers paid.

The seven resale ratios

The seven resales recorded at 1.151, 1.016, 0.964, 1.280, 1.237, 0.945 and 1.112 times their parcels’ 2026 values, and the two below the county’s number were both one-bedroom homes in Building A. The county’s value sits far below what large homes sell for and close to what small ones sell for.

How to use the county figure

Look up your home on the Lee County Property Appraiser site as a sanity check, not a valuation; it does not see your floor, your condition or the developer’s pricing next door. For 60 of the 75 parcels the just, assessed and taxable values are identical; ten non-homestead parcels are assessed below their just value under the 10 percent cap on yearly increases, and the five with homestead carry a $51,411 exemption. Homestead’s Save Our Homes cap and the 10 percent non-homestead cap both reset to market value the January after a sale, so your tax bill tells a buyer little about theirs, and Botanika has no community development district.

Botanika against The Gardens at Bermuda Links is the value comparison most Botanika owners face, and it comes down to price per square foot against proven staying power. Botanika’s 24-month county median is $399,670 at $356.00 per square foot; The Gardens’ 12-month median is $325,000 at $243.10, with 96 same-home pairs showing a 7.2 percent yearly gain. Botanika’s seven resales at $320,000 already sit beside The Gardens’ $325,000.

What the comparison says about value

The same $320,000 buys about 978 heated square feet at Botanika and about 1,216 at The Gardens, so Botanika’s resale price per square foot, $325.26, runs 34 percent above The Gardens’ $243.10. That premium pays for a 2024 building, an elevator lobby, running warranties and one- and three-bedroom plans The Gardens does not offer, and a buyer will ask whether newness is worth the premium with the fee and rules unread. The Gardens answers what Botanika cannot yet: 92 of its 96 same-home pairs gained, its 2022 roofs are on a public permit record and its fee history is readable.

How Do Botanika Values Compare With the Rest of Bonita Fairways?

Botanika is the newest and highest-priced condominium in Bonita Fairways: its $356.00 per heated square foot is 28 to 53 percent above the other five neighborhoods, whose first ten-sale windows run from $233.33 to $277.35. Across all of Bonita Fairways the MLS recorded 87 closings in the 24 months to 29 September 2026 at a $360,000 median and 59 days on market.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, first window with 10 or more sales for each neighborhood, measured from the first of the month; Southwest Florida MLS, pulled 29 September 2026).

The MLS assigns sales to a neighborhood by its Sub/Condo field, and sales that carry only “Bonita Fairways” are not assigned, so the neighborhood rows do not sum to the community total. Botanika’s 24-month median of 31 days reflects the developer’s early closings, and its 12-month median of 174 days reflects two resales.

A Botanika resale at $320,000 competes with Bermuda Links at $323,750, The Gardens at $325,000 and Rosewood Pointe Garden at $358,750, all older and cheaper per square foot; a price above $400,000 competes with Natura’s $472,500 detached homes.

What Will You Net When You Sell?

What you net from a Botanika sale is the price less your mortgage payoff, the negotiated listing commission and any buyer-broker compensation, Florida’s deed tax of 70 cents per $100, the owner’s title policy that Lee County sellers customarily buy, a settlement fee, a lien search, two estoppel certificates and prorated taxes and fees. The buyer, not you, pays the $2,500 Bonita Fairways contribution.

The owner’s title premium is the state-promulgated rate of $5.75 per $1,000 on the first $100,000 and $5.00 per $1,000 above that, rounded up to the next $1,000. Settlement and lien-search fees vary by title company. Commission is fully negotiable, and since 17 August 2024 any offer of buyer-broker compensation is made off the MLS.

The disclosure a Botanika seller owes, and when

Botanika is a Chapter 718 condominium, so a resale runs on the documents Section 718.503 lists, including the declaration, rules, budget and reserve study statement, and the buyer has a seven-day review period to cancel. Florida also requires a flood disclosure under Section 689.302 and disclosure of known facts that materially affect value. This is information, not legal advice.

The estoppel certificate is a valuation document

Botanika’s condominium fee is not published, so the estoppel certificate is where a buyer first sees it, with any unpaid or special assessment. Ask for it the day you decide to list; under Section 718.116 it is capped at $299, plus $119 if expedited and $179 if delinquent, as adjusted for inflation from the statute’s $250 base.

Want a Free In-Person CMA?

Yes, and it takes about 30 minutes at your home. An in-person comparative market analysis lets us see the floor, the balcony outlook, the parking, the finishes and the condition that no county card shows, and it turns a Botanika range into a recommended list price with the competing listings beside it. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to book it.

It covers a walk-through, your plan and building, the Botanika sales we selected and our adjustments, the resale and developer comparisons, the ten active listings you would compete with, a recommended list price and a net sheet.

No obligation, and confidential

There is no obligation to list with us, and we keep every conversation confidential; many Botanika owners ask a year or more before they sell. Request your free Botanika home valuation, return to the valuation form section, or call Jesse at (239) 898-6072.

Frequently Asked Questions, Botanika at Bonita Fairways Home Value Edition

These are the valuation questions Botanika owners ask us most, answered from the Lee County recorded sales and roll, the recorded Bonita Fairways instruments, the Southwest Florida MLS and Florida law. For a number on your own home, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

What is my Botanika condo worth?

It depends on your plan size, building and whether buyers see it as a resale or a rival to the developer’s new homes. The 24-month county median is $399,670 on 62 sales, mostly first sales; the seven resales carry $320,000. Send us your address for a range built from your plan.

What is the median price of a Botanika home?

In the 24 months from September 2024, the first window with ten or more county sales, it is $399,670 on 62 sales at $356.00 per heated square foot. Across all 76 sales it is $405,690, and for the seven resales $320,000. Read the window beside each figure.

What did Botanika homes sell for in the last 12 months?

Three resales recorded in the 12 months from September 2025: $343,895 in Building B, $250,000 in Building A and $339,000 in Building C. With three sales we list them instead of averaging. The MLS shows two closings in the year at a $294,500 median.

What is the price per square foot at Botanika?

The 24-month county median is $356.00 per heated square foot on 62 sales; first sales run $356.46 and resales $325.26. The MLS shows $332 per living square foot on 27 closings, but its area is measured differently, so do not compare the two.

Are Botanika prices going up or down?

Softer than the developer’s launch, on a thin record. Yearly medians were $411,860 in 2024 on 57 sales, $399,920 in 2025 on 17 and $294,500 in 2026 to March on two, and five of seven repeat pairs resold below the first price.

How much do Botanika resales sell for compared with new homes?

The seven resales recorded $325.26 per heated square foot against $356.46 for the 69 first sales, 91.2 percent of the developer’s figure. Resales are smaller homes, so compare price per square foot, not price.

Is a bigger Botanika plan worth more per square foot?

Slightly. First-sale medians ran $342.28 per heated square foot for one-bedroom homes, $355.86 for two-bedroom and $363.10 for three-bedroom homes, about 6 percent from smallest to largest. Most of the price gap between plans is size.

Which Botanika building sells for the most?

Building B leads in price, a $436,312 first-sale median on 24 sales, because it holds the largest homes. Building A had $418,971 on 21 sales and Building C $386,514 on 24. Per square foot the order flips: A $362.82, C $356.26 and B $344.64.

Does the floor change what a Botanika home is worth?

Not as buyers expect. First-floor first sales carried a $435,132 median, second-floor $411,860 and third-floor $399,920, 23 sales each, and the difference tracks plan size. We adjust for a home’s own outlook and balcony instead.

What is the highest price a Botanika home has sold for?

$614,008, a 1,639-square-foot three-bedroom first sale in Building B on 9 August 2024. The highest resale is $416,000, a 1,263-square-foot two-bedroom in Building B in August 2025, and no three-bedroom has resold.

What is the lowest recent Botanika sale?

$250,000, the 17 February 2026 resale of a 784-square-foot one-bedroom in Building A that first sold in December 2024 for $280,556. The same plan resold in August 2025 for $255,000, so small one-bedroom homes carry the thinnest resale prices.

How accurate is an online estimate for a Botanika home?

Not very. A 2024 building has a short record, a model cannot tell a first sale from a resale, and it borrows from older condominiums selling for $233 to $277 per square foot against Botanika’s $356. We price from Botanika’s own sales, plan by plan.

Is the county’s value my market value?

No. The 2026 county value has a $316,015 median on Botanika homes, and 73 of the 76 recorded sales beat their own parcel’s 2026 value, at a 1.298 median multiple. It is a January 1 mass appraisal set by plan, a sanity check and never a price.

What will my buyer’s property taxes be?

Tax is set on the sale price, not your assessed value. At the $399,670 median and the proposed 12.8217 mills it is $5,124.45 a year; at the county’s $316,015 median value it would be about $4,052. Your homestead and Save Our Homes cap do not carry to a buyer.

Why did most Botanika resales sell below the first price?

Five of seven pairs resold lower, by 1.8 to 20.2 percent, after holds of 200 to 493 days. The developer’s later first sales were priced higher and a resale competes with new homes, but the deeds do not say why. The two owners who gained held a year or more.

Did anyone make money reselling a Botanika home?

Two of seven did on the recorded price: $318,560 to $343,895, up 8.0 percent, and $411,460 to $416,000, up 1.1 percent. After sale costs the first gain shrinks to about 3.0 percent or less.

How does the $2,500 contribution affect my price?

The buyer of a resale pays it under the Declaration’s Section 9.12, so it does not come out of your proceeds, but a buyer subtracts it from the offer. A purchaser from Cedar Green Homes, L.L.C. is exempt, a small edge over your listing.

Does the unpublished condominium fee hurt my price?

It can, when a buyer cannot see it. Botanika’s own fee, declaration and budget are not published, so buyers ask for the estoppel certificate and adopted budget first. A seller who supplies both at listing protects the price. Never quote a fee you have not read on a document.

What is the Bonita Fairways master assessment?

The 2026 master budget lists 736 doors at $1,100, $964 operating plus $136 reserve, paid in two $550 installments, up from $932 in 2025. Botanika is very probably assessed the $1,100, probable until an estoppel confirms it.

Could a special assessment affect my sale?

We found none for Botanika. The master’s proposed $500 assessment for a second pool was rejected on 16 July 2026, with Botanika voting 2 yes and 73 no. Confirm before you list that none is pending; the estoppel certificate will say.

Do the statutory warranties add value?

For a resale in 2026, yes. Florida Statutes 718.203 gives a new unit a three-year warranty from completion of its building, inherited by successor owners. On our estimate it ends about mid to late 2027, so a buyer inherits roughly a year, shrinking each month.

Do milestone inspections and SIRS apply to Botanika?

Yes, because each building has three residential floors. The first milestone inspection is not due until 2049 or 2054, but the turnover inspection report and reserve study matter now, and turnover status is not published. The estoppel package and board records are where a buyer will look.

Does the flood zone affect what my home is worth?

FEMA maps the three buildings in Zone X shaded, outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, so a federally backed lender generally does not require flood insurance, and every Bonita Fairways address is in Evacuation Zone A. “No-flood zone” is not a FEMA category, so we quote the map.

Does insurance affect Botanika values?

Through the buyer’s monthly cost, yes. The association insures the building as originally installed and the owner insures interior finishes and belongings. A current wind-mitigation report on Form OIR-B1-1802 and documented impact windows help a buyer’s insurer and lender.

Does the leasing rule affect value?

For investor buyers, yes. The master declaration sets a 30-consecutive-day minimum lease and short-term rentals such as VRBO and Airbnb are not permitted; Botanika’s own declaration may be stricter and is not posted. An unread rule makes a cautious investor discount.

When is the best time to sell a Botanika home?

The record does not yet prove a season: seven resales recorded in June, August, September, February and March. With 43 of 75 owners holding an out-of-state or foreign mailing address, listing before the winter season puts a home in front of buyers who are in Florida.

What if the buyer’s appraisal comes in below the contract price?

An appraiser uses the recorded sales of the same plan, so a price set above the resale record risks a gap. We price from those sales, and if a gap appears we show the appraiser the same-plan sales and negotiate.

Why do the active listings ask so much more than recent sales?

Ten active listings asked a $529,950 median on 29 September 2026, about 33 percent above the $399,670 median and 66 percent above the $320,000 resale median. The MLS does not say which are developer inventory, and the two closings in 12 months took a median 174 days.

Should I wait for the developer to finish selling?

Waiting costs warranty time and leaves the developer’s inventory as your competition longer. The county’s live parcel layer showed a first sale recorded on 17 August 2026, so the developer was still closing homes. We will show you both paths on paper.

Botanika resales run about 34 percent more per square foot, $325.26 against $243.10, for a 2024 building and running warranties, while The Gardens has a readable fee history and 96 repeat pairs with a 7.2 percent yearly gain. The decision table above sets them side by side.

How does Botanika compare with the rest of Bonita Fairways?

It is the newest and highest priced: $356.00 per heated square foot against $233.33 to $277.35 in the other five neighborhoods’ first ten-sale windows. Its $320,000 resale median sits near Bermuda Links at $323,750 and The Gardens at $325,000.

What documents should I gather before a valuation?

The date and price you paid, your plan and building, upgrade invoices and permits, appliance dates, window labels, a wind-mitigation report, and any estoppel or budget you hold. If the home is leased, send the lease end date.

Does it cost anything to get a valuation from McGreevy and Comisar?

No. The online valuation and the in-person CMA are free with no obligation to list, and every conversation is confidential. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for a range built from the recorded sales of your plan.

Have McGreevy and Comisar sold homes in Botanika?

The Southwest Florida MLS shows no closing by either of us in Botanika or elsewhere in Bonita Fairways, and we make no claim to one. We offer the county record read deed by deed and a pricing file built from your plan’s own sales.

Who is the best agent to value my Botanika home?

The one who prices from your plan’s recorded sales, says plainly what the record cannot show, and explains the fee, the warranty and the developer comparison before a buyer’s agent does. Compare the record, then call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Why Does a Botanika Specialist Matter When You Value Your Home?

A Botanika specialist knows which plan, building and size band a home belongs to, what the seven resales actually closed at, and which documents a buyer’s lender will ask for. Buyers pay for a new elevator building with running warranties when a valuation explains it well, and pay less when it does not.
