Updated September 2026 · Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, Domain Realty · Valuation data from Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales (DOR-qualified, index built 29 September 2026), the county roll dated September 1, 2026 and Southwest Florida MLS (pulled 29 September 2026)

McGreevy and Comisar are the Bonita Springs team behind this valuation guide to one condominium: the 134 two-bedroom homes in the twelve buildings of The Gardens at Bermuda Links, described building by building in our Gardens at Bermuda Links guide. The Gardens sits inside the gated master-planned community of Bonita Fairways in Bonita Springs, Florida. If you own on Rosewood Pointe Drive or Bonita Fairways Boulevard and want to know what your home is worth, this page shows every recorded sale behind the number, what the county’s own value says, and why a building, a floor and a plan can move a price by tens of thousands of dollars.

If you are ready for a written number, request your free Gardens home valuation or jump straight to the valuation form on this page. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 if you would rather talk first.

The Lee County Property Appraiser recorded 12 qualified Gardens sales in the 24 months to 29 September 2026, the first window with ten or more, at a median of $327,450 (the mean of the middle pair, $325,000 and $329,900), from $280,000 to $365,000. The last 12 months hold nine sales at a $325,000 median. With samples this small, no Gardens average can tell you what your unit is worth, and the sections below show what can.

What Is My Home at The Gardens Worth in 2026?

A Gardens at Bermuda Links two-bedroom condo is worth what recorded sales of its own building type, floor and plan say: the 12 county-recorded sales of the last 24 months had a $327,450 median (n = 12), the nine of the last 12 months a $325,000 median, and prices ran from $280,000 to $365,000. Where your unit falls inside that range depends on parking, size, floor and condition.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, DOR-qualified, windows measured to 29 September 2026; Southwest Florida MLS, pulled 29 September 2026).

The table gives the recorded Gardens record on the standard windows and the MLS picture beside it. County figures are recorded deeds; MLS figures add days on market and sold-to-list.

Three facts that explain almost every Gardens value

The first is the plan: all 134 homes are two-bedroom, two-bath condominiums built in 2007, in eight plans from 1,190 to 1,688 heated square feet. The second is parking: six buildings have garages (76 homes) and six carports (58 homes), and garage-building sales had a $365,000 median over 60 months (n = 11) against $333,000 (n = 17). The third is that the record is thin: one or two closings can move a median by $10,000, so we price from matched sales, not averages.

How to read the numbers on this page

Every window ends 29 September 2026 and runs back whole months. We lead with the first window that holds ten or more sales, which is 24 months here, name the window and the number of sales beside every figure, and use the mean of the middle pair for an even count. Price per square foot is the median of each sale’s price over its heated area.

Key Takeaways

  • The 24-month county median is $327,450 (n = 12) and the 12-month median $325,000 (n = 9), from $280,000 to $365,000.
  • Plan and parking matter more than the Gardens average. Over 60 months, garage buildings had a $365,000 median (n = 11) and carport buildings $333,000 (n = 17).
  • The county’s market value trails what homes sell for: the median sale was 1.097 times it over 12 months (n = 9) and 1.107 times over 24 months (n = 12).
  • Values have flattened, not collapsed. The 12-month median is 2.7% below 2022’s $334,000 (n = 8), and 10 of 11 resales in 24 months sold above the owner’s earlier price.
  • All twelve roofs were replaced under City permits issued July 6, 2022, the strongest documented fact in a Gardens value.
  • Six buildings are in FEMA Zone AE and six in shaded Zone X, with no measurable price gap in 24 months (n = 3 against n = 9).
  • The current association fee is not published; the last posted figure is $998 a quarter in a 2021 proposal, so an estoppel is the only current answer.
  • Days on market are 45 over 24 months and 85 over 12 on the MLS, at 97.1% and 96.6% of list.
  • The Gardens has 3.7 months of supply and Bermuda Links 6.0 on the 24-month MLS basis, and their county medians are within $15,000.

How a Gardens valuation is built at our desk

We start from all 222 qualified Gardens sales in the county record back to April 2009, matched to each unit’s parcel record for floor, plan and parking. In the last 12 months we tracked every Gardens closing against its recorded deed, and we tracked all 12 sales of the 24-month window before writing this page. Then we set your home beside the closest matches and show you the range and the sales behind it.

What we have and have not done in Bonita Fairways

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. Our case rests on the public record we have read for you and our results across Bonita Springs and Southwest Florida. Every Gardens sale on this page is a recorded deed, never one of our transactions.

Get Your Free Gardens Home Valuation in 60 Seconds

You can get a free Gardens home valuation by completing the short form on this page or calling Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, Southwest Florida MLS, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

What we send you

McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, prepare each Gardens valuation personally. It has the two or three recorded sales we matched to your home, the county’s own market value beside them, the roof permit and flood zone for your building, the fee facts a buyer inherits, and a net sheet showing what a sale would leave you after both estoppel certificates.

What we need from you

Your building address, your floor, and anything that sets your home apart: approved new flooring, a renovated kitchen or baths, or damage you know about. If you own in Buildings 30 to 35, tell us whether you hold an elevation certificate or a flood-insurance quote. If you would like to talk first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 and mention your building, and if you are thinking of buying as well, Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or read our guide to buying in the Gardens.

Why Does an Online Estimate Miss Gardens Values?

An online estimate misses Gardens values because it averages a market of eight plans, two parking types and two flood zones from only nine recorded sales in the last year, cannot see condition, floor or parking, and reports one number with false precision. The recorded record shows single-plan sales spread by more than $50,000 in the same year.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

Automated online estimates run a model over the deeds and listings around a property, and the Gardens gives that model very little to learn from. In the 24 months to 29 September 2026 there were five sales of the 1,190 square foot plan, the most common in the community (n = 5), at $285,000, $294,000, $295,000, $335,000 and $339,000, a $54,000 spread on one plan with a $295,000 median. Two of those closed in Building 28 within six days of each other in October 2025, a second-floor home at $339,000 and a ground-floor home at $294,000.

What a model cannot see

The county’s parcel record carries plan, floor and garage or carport, but not a renovated kitchen, a corner position, a view or what a buyer’s insurer said about the building. Two third-floor homes of almost the same size in one building can sell $40,000 apart, as the Building 25 record on this page shows.

How Do We Value a Gardens Home?

We value a Gardens home in four steps: find the recorded sales of the same building type, floor and plan, adjust for parking, roof, flood zone and condition, test the result against the county’s market value, active listings and Bermuda Links, and give a written range with the sales behind it. We say when the record is too thin for a single number.

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

Step one: match the sales

We begin with the same plan in the same building, then the same plan in a sister building of the same parking type, then the same size class, because a 1,190 and a 1,688 square foot home are different products even under one roof.

Step two: adjust for what the record does not show

We adjust for what the record supports, parking and floor, and for what it cannot, condition, updates and position, by walking the home. The garage-building median is $32,000 above carport buildings over 60 months, but the garage buildings also carry the larger plans, so we never treat the whole gap as a garage premium.

Step three: test against three cross-checks

We compare the range with the county’s market value (recent sales ran about 1.1 times it), with the two active Gardens listings, which had a $352,000 median list price on 29 September 2026, and with Bermuda Links, whose 24-month MLS median was $323,750 (n = 12).

Step four: give you the range and the sales behind it

You receive a written range, the matched sales and the assumptions, so you can check our arithmetic against the county’s own records.

Worked example one: a second-floor garage home of 1,347 square feet

Three sales of the 1,347 plan closed in the 24 months (n = 3): Building 24 third floor on March 6, 2026 at $329,900, Building 32 second floor on May 13 at $325,000 and Building 25 third floor on May 15 at $325,000, a $325,000 median at $241 per square foot. Building 32 is in Zone AE and the other two in Zone X, yet the prices are equal, so on this small sample the flood zone did not move price. We would open a conversation about a comparable home at about $320,000 to $330,000 before condition.

Worked example two: a ground-floor carport home of 1,190 square feet

Two ground-floor sales of the 1,190 plan closed within a month, $295,000 in Building 29 on September 19, 2025 and $294,000 in Building 28 on October 7, 2025, while a ground-floor sale in Building 28 a year earlier reached $335,000 (October 18, 2024). The middle of the three is $295,000, and we would open at about $290,000 to $300,000 before condition.

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

Gardens homes sold for a $335,000 median over the last 60 months (28 county-recorded sales, $275,000 to $400,000), $332,450 over 36 months (n = 14), $327,450 over 24 months (n = 12) and $325,000 over 12 months (n = 9). The newest recorded sale in our index closed June 15, 2026, and every window ends September 29, 2026.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, DOR-qualified, index built 29 September 2026; Southwest Florida MLS, pulled 29 September 2026).

What the MLS adds: days on market and sold-to-list

Deeds do not record how long a home was listed or how far the price came down; the Southwest Florida MLS does. It holds 11 closings in the last 12 months against nine county sales, because the two sources count slightly different deals and dates, so we show them separately and never mix them.

The 85-day median over 12 months against 45 over 24 means recent listings are taking longer to sell, though both windows hold few closings. A Gardens home sold near the median went for about 97 cents on the list dollar.

How much supply is on the market

On 29 September 2026 the MLS showed two active Gardens listings (median list price $352,000, from $299,000 to $405,000) and one pending. Against the 13 closings of the last 24 months that is 3.7 months of supply, and against the 11 closings of the last 12 months 2.2 months. Bermuda Links showed three active listings and 6.0 months on the 24-month basis. Under four months generally favors sellers, but the 85-day median shows even a thin market takes time.

What Is a Gardens Home Worth by Building/Phase, Floor/Type and Plan?

A Gardens home is worth more in a garage building than a carport building, more in a larger plan in absolute dollars but less per square foot, and about the same on any floor once plan is held equal: over 60 months (n = 28) garage-building sales had a $365,000 median, carport-building sales $333,000, and floor medians differed by under $7,000. Plan and parking do the sorting.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales and roll dated September 1, 2026; FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer panel 12071C0656G, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

By building and phase

Each building is its own recorded phase, all built in 2007. Buildings 22 to 25, 28 and 29 stand on Rosewood Pointe Drive in shaded Zone X, and Buildings 30 to 35 on Bonita Fairways Boulevard in Zone AE. Buildings 24 and 25 are the two three-story buildings. The 60-month column shows how many sales each building has actually produced, which is the number that matters.

Buildings 30, 33 and 35 have no sale in 60 months, so a home there is valued from its sister buildings, and we say so. Building 25 alone produced five of the 28 sales.

By plan

There are eight plans. The county prices each plan at a nearly flat $210 to $230 per heated square foot, but the market does not: over 24 months the median sale price per square foot was $248 on the 1,190 plan (n = 5) and $216 on the 1,688 plan (n = 1), so bigger homes sold for more dollars and fewer per foot.

$327,450

$329,900

The 12-month medians rest on two to six sales each, and the 60-month columns are steadier. Garage buildings, which hold the larger plans and both three-story buildings, lead at $365,000, while floor barely registers: $335,000 ground floor (n = 7), $336,250 second floor (n = 18) and $329,900 third floor (n = 3). Nothing in the record says height earns a premium or the ground floor a discount.

By flood zone

Over 24 months, the three Zone AE sales had a $325,000 median and the nine Zone X sales $329,900; over 60 months, seven AE and 21 X sales both had $335,000. The record shows no measurable Zone AE discount, but samples this small could not show one, and the zones are tangled with parking (Buildings 32 to 35 are the AE garage buildings, 30 and 31 the AE carport buildings). A flood-insurance quote is still a negotiating point, so we ask Zone AE owners for an elevation certificate.

Are Gardens Values Rising or Falling?

Gardens values rose steeply from 2019 to 2022, peaked at a $367,500 median in 2024 on only two sales, and have been flat to slightly lower since: the 12-month median of $325,000 (n = 9) is 2.7% below the 2022 calendar-year median of $334,000 (n = 8). Of 96 repeat-sale pairs, only four lost money, and 10 of 11 owners who sold in the last 24 months sold above what they paid.

The median went from $203,500 in 2019 to $334,000 in 2022, up 64% in three years, and has stayed between $317,000 and $367,500 since. Years since 2023 hold six, two, four and seven sales, so read the pattern, not the decimal.

Why price per square foot fell more than price

The median price per square foot fell from $274 in 2022 to $241 in 2026, 12% lower, while the median price fell 2.7%. The reason is mix: the median size of the 2026 sales is 1,347 square feet against 1,216 in 2022, and the market pays fewer dollars per foot on larger plans, so a bigger average home lowers the per-foot figure even when the price does not move.

What owners who held earned

The county record holds 96 pairs of consecutive sales of the same home more than a year apart, across 70 homes. The median pair compounded at 7.2% a year over a median hold of 5.9 years, and four pairs lost money. Later pairs earn less a year than the earliest, which began at 2010 closeout prices.

In the last 24 months, 11 homes changed hands for the second or later time in the record, and 10 of the 11 sold above the earlier price, with a median gain of $107,000 over a median hold of 10.9 years. The one that did not was a Building 28 home that sold for $355,000 in October 2023 and $339,000 in October 2025, down $16,000 (4.5%) after two years.

One Home’s Public Record

The public record of one third-floor Gardens home in Building 25, at 26630 Rosewood Pointe Drive, shows a first recorded sale of $124,900 in February 2010, a resale of $230,000 in June 2015 and a resale of $325,000 on May 15, 2026: a total gain of $200,100 (160.2%) over 16.2 years, 6.1% compounded a year, with the second hold earning far less than the first.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales and roll, index built 29 September 2026).

We chose this complete three-sale history for a 1,347 square foot garage home in a three-story building because a second home on the same floor of the same building sold a year earlier for $40,000 more. We show the building address only.

What the chain shows

The first hold, from the closeout price, earned 12.1% a year; the second, from a normal-market price, earned 3.2%. The May 2026 sale was 1.081 times the county’s market value for that home ($300,738), a little under the 1.107 median of the last 24 months. The pattern is one we see across the record: buyers from the 2010 closeout have earned the most, and buyers of the last few years are earning less.

The same building, the same floor, $40,000 apart

A third-floor 1,341 square foot home in the same Building 25 sold for $365,000 on April 8, 2025 ($272 per square foot), thirteen months before the $325,000 sale of the 1,347 square foot home above ($241 per square foot). It had sold for $122,500 in February 2010, a gain of $242,500 (198.0%) over 15.1 years, or 7.5% a year. The county’s market values for the two homes differ by $244 ($300,494 and $300,738). The record cannot say why the prices differed by 12%, and condition, updates and timing are the likely reasons. That is why we walk a home before we give a final range.

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

A Gardens home’s value moves most with its plan, its parking type, the 2022 roof documentation, its flood zone and insurance quote, and its condition, and moves least with floor level. The recorded evidence supports the first three; condition and updates cannot be seen in the county record, which is why we look at each home in person before we give a final range.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales and roll, City of Bonita Springs permits, FEMA, Gardens association postings, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

What the record shows moves price up

Garage buildings sold at a $365,000 median over 60 months (n = 11) against $333,000 in carport buildings (n = 17), though the garage buildings also hold the larger plans. Larger plans sell for more dollars, from a $325,000 median on the 1,190 plan (n = 13) to $385,000 on the 1,341 plan (n = 5) over 60 months. All twelve roofs were replaced under City permits issued July 6, 2022, so a buyer’s insurer reads a roof about four years old. The full building-by-building record is in our Gardens at Bermuda Links guide.

What the record cannot show

The county’s parcel record carries plan, floor and parking but not interior condition: new flooring, a renovated kitchen or baths, impact windows, a corner position, a view or how a home was maintained. Buyers pay for those things and we cannot measure them from deeds, so we adjust by comparing your home with the nearest sale in person. Association rules govern what you may change, including approved flooring and white shutters.

What pulls an offer down

A buyer discounts for anything unknown or expensive: in a Zone AE building (30 to 35) a flood-insurance quote and, for many lenders, a flood-insurance requirement; anywhere in the Gardens a current fee that is not posted online, a special assessment the estoppel might reveal, and the $2,500 master contribution paid at closing. The posted leasing rules allow an annual lease or four monthly rentals a year and bar pets for renters, which limits rental use. Each is a reason to answer the question in the listing file before a buyer asks.

How Do Fees, Associations and Insurance Affect Value?

Fees, associations and insurance affect Gardens value through what a buyer must carry each month: at a $325,000 price a buyer pays about $9,279 a year without homestead, roughly $773 a month, before insurance, if the Gardens fee were unchanged from its last posted $998 a quarter. Every $1,000 a year of extra carrying cost is about $83 a month, and buyers count it.

Per round

At a $325,000 price, tax is $4,167.05 without homestead and $3,657.74 with it, computed at 12.8217 mills and, for homestead, the exemptions in Florida Statute 196.031. Adding the master assessment, the stormwater fee and the last posted Gardens fee gives $9,279.05 a year without homestead and $8,769.74 with it, or about $773 and $731 a month. Only 37 of the 134 homes carry a homestead exemption on the county roll, so most buyers see the higher figure.

Why the missing fee matters to value

The Gardens association does not post its current fee. The last posted figure is $998 a quarter in a proposed 2021 budget, up 7.1% from $932 in 2020, and the board’s cover letter tied the increase mostly to a 40% rise in the property-insurance premium. It is five budget years old. A buyer who sees no fee will ask for the estoppel certificate, and if the answer is higher than expected the difference comes out of the offer, so we request it before we list.

Insurance at the association and unit level

In that 2021 proposal, property and liability insurance was $107,681, flood insurance $65,500 and water and sewer $78,000, together $251,181 or about 47% of the $534,928 the 134 units would pay in a year, by our arithmetic. At the unit level, a buyer’s condominium insurer will read the roof date on the building’s wind-mitigation form, and in Zone AE a lender will ask about flood insurance. The forms, which embed the City roof permits, are in our sources.

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

No. The county’s market value is a mass-appraisal figure set for taxes, and Gardens homes have sold above it: over the last 12 months (n = 9) the median sale price was 1.097 times the county’s market value on the September 1, 2026 roll, and over 24 months (n = 12) it was 1.107 times, with individual sales from 1.030 to 1.320. Use the county’s figure as a cross-check, never as your price.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser roll dated September 1, 2026 and recorded sales, Florida Statute 193.011, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

The county’s value and the price, sale by sale

The table sets each of the 12 sales of the last 24 months beside the county’s market value for that home on the September 1, 2026 roll. A ratio of 1.100 means the home sold for 10% more than the county’s market value.

The median ratio is 1.107 across the 12 sales and 1.097 across the nine of the last 12 months, and the spread is wide, from 1.030 for a 1,688 square foot home in Building 25 to 1.320 for a 1,190 square foot home in Building 28.

The smaller plans show the widest gap

The five 1,190 square foot sales had a median ratio of 1.159 (from 1.053 to 1.320), the three 1,347 square foot sales 1.081 and the one 1,688 sale 1.030. The county’s market value works out to a nearly flat $210 to $230 per heated square foot on every plan, while buyers pay about $248 per foot on the 1,190 plan and $216 on the 1,688 plan, so the formula understates a small plan most.

What the roll says about the whole community

The roll dated September 1, 2026 lists 134 homes with a median market value of $298,869, from $243,451 to $365,258, or about $218 per heated square foot in aggregate. Twenty-four homes are assessed below their market value, 37 carry a homestead exemption, and none is assessed above market value.

Why the county’s number trails the market

The county values a home for taxes under Florida Statute 193.011, which directs the appraiser to weigh eight factors, among them the net proceeds of a sale after the usual and reasonable costs of selling and financing. That is one reason a county figure runs below what a buyer pays at the table, and the reason recorded sales are our starting point and the roll our cross-check.

Neither holds value clearly better on the record: the Gardens had a $327,450 county median over 24 months (n = 12) against $312,500 at Bermuda Links (n = 15), the MLS puts them $1,250 apart, and the Gardens sold faster, at 45 days against 78.5 with 3.7 months of supply against 6.0. Roofs, flood zone and parking decide which buyer picks which.

Bermuda Links is the neighboring condominium inside the same gate, and a buyer looking at your home will look at it the same week.

Where the Gardens holds value

The Gardens sells faster and at a higher share of list on the MLS (45 days and 97.1% over 24 months against 78.5 days and 95.2%), has newer roofs, garages in 76 homes and less supply.

All fourteen Bermuda Links buildings are in shaded Zone X, so a buyer worried about flood insurance crosses off the whole complex, and its all-two-story buildings fall outside the milestone-inspection and reserve-study laws that reach Gardens Buildings 24 and 25. Its three active listings carry a $369,000 median list price, which can make a well-priced Gardens home look like the better value.

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

The Gardens sits at the low end of Bonita Fairways prices: its $327,450 24-month county median (n = 12) is level with Bermuda Links ($312,500, n = 15) and below Rosewood Pointe Garden ($346,500, n = 6), Carousel Cove ($360,000, n = 11) and Natura’s $499,950 resale median (n = 18). Botanika’s new-construction figures are higher again.

This is the 24 months from September 30, 2024 through September 29, 2026 for all six, with the MLS beside it. Each neighborhood’s own first window with ten or more sales, which is how its guide reports it, differs only for Rosewood Pointe Garden (36 months, 10 sales, $358,750) and Natura (12 months, 10 resales, $486,250).

What the comparison means for a Gardens owner

A buyer with a $350,000 budget will see the Gardens, Bermuda Links and Rosewood Pointe Garden together. If your home is elsewhere in the community, our Bonita Fairways home valuation page covers the whole master-planned community, and for a valuation anywhere in the city see our Bonita Springs home valuation page. Our Bonita Fairways community guide describes the clubhouse, courts, golf course and master rules all six share.

What Will You Net When You Sell?

At the $325,000 median a Gardens seller nets about $301,990 before mortgage payoff and prorations if the buyer’s agent is paid 2.5%, or about $310,115 if not, and at $365,000 about $339,410 or $348,535. Selling costs run 7.08% and 4.58% at $325,000, and 7.01% and 4.51% at $365,000. Commission is negotiable, while stamps and the title premium follow state rules.

The documents a Gardens seller delivers

Section 718.503 requires a condominium seller to give a buyer the association documents, with a seven-day review after signing. Section 718.116 sets estoppel fees at $250, plus $100 expedited and $150 delinquent, adjusted for inflation to up to $299, $119 and $179. Section 689.302 requires a flood disclosure, and Johnson v. Davis a disclosure of known material facts.

Chapter 718 and the master association

Bonita Fairways is governed by a Chapter 720 master association, and the Gardens is a Chapter 718 condominium inside it. Section 720.401 says in subsection (2) that it does not apply to an association governed by Chapter 718, so whether a master-association disclosure summary is expected on a condominium home is a question for your closing agent or attorney. This is information, not legal advice.

Want a Free In-Person CMA?

A comparative market analysis, or CMA, is a free written valuation prepared by an agent from sold and active homes, and a free in-person CMA from McGreevy and Comisar adds a walk through your Gardens home, which no online estimate and no deed record can provide. We compare your home with the nearest recorded sales and the active listings your buyer would see.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, Southwest Florida MLS, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

In the last 12 months we tracked the nine county-recorded sales against the MLS’s 11 closings and two active listings, so we can tell you which of them a buyer will compare with your home. A CMA is different from an appraisal, which a lender orders for a mortgage and which follows the lender’s rules. Ours is a marketing opinion of value that costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

What happens at a CMA visit

We walk the home for about half an hour, note the plan, floor, parking, flooring, kitchen, baths, windows and any damage, photograph anything that sets it apart, and check your building’s roof permit and flood zone. Within a few days we send the range, the matched sales, the county’s market value and a net sheet.

These are the questions Gardens owners ask us most about value, answered from the Lee County recorded-sale record, the county roll, the Southwest Florida MLS, the association’s postings and Florida law.

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

The 12 Gardens sales of the last 24 months (n = 12) had a $327,450 median and the nine of the last 12 months $325,000, but your number depends on building type, floor and plan: typical 1,190 and 1,688 square foot homes sold about $70,000 apart. Ask for a free written Gardens valuation.

What is the average price of a 2-bedroom condo in the Gardens?

Every Gardens home is a two-bedroom, two-bath condominium, so the community figure covers the whole market: a $327,450 median over 24 months (n = 12) and $325,000 over 12 months (n = 9). We quote medians because one $400,000 sale can pull an average up.

How do I find recent sold prices in the Gardens?

Recorded sales are public through the Lee County Property Appraiser and the Clerk. Every sale of the last 24 months is in the table above by building address, floor, plan and parking, and our valuation adds days on market and sold-to-list from the MLS.

How accurate is an online estimate for a Gardens condo?

Not very. Five sales of the 1,190 square foot plan in 24 months ranged from $285,000 to $339,000, and an estimate built on the county’s market value reads about a tenth below what homes sell for. It cannot see your floor, parking, condition or building.

What does the county’s market value on my tax notice mean?

It is the Property Appraiser’s mass-appraisal value for tax purposes, not a price a buyer has agreed to. On the September 1, 2026 roll it runs from $243,451 to $365,258, and recent sales closed at a median 1.097 times it over 12 months (n = 9) and 1.107 times over 24 months (n = 12).

Why did a home near mine sell for more than the county says it is worth?

The county prices every plan at close to $210 to $230 per square foot, and buyers pay more per foot on smaller plans. The five 1,190 square foot sales of the last 24 months had a median ratio of 1.159 to the county’s value, and the one 1,688 square foot sale 1.030.

Does floor level change value in the Gardens?

Not measurably. Over 60 months the median was $335,000 on the ground floor (n = 7), $336,250 on the second (n = 18) and $329,900 on the third (n = 3). We compare homes on the same floor and plan when we can, but we do not add a height premium.

Does a garage add value at the Gardens?

Garage buildings (24, 25 and 32 to 35, 76 homes) had a $365,000 median over 60 months (n = 11) against $333,000 for carport buildings (n = 17). Part of the $32,000 gap is the garage and part is size, because the garage buildings hold the larger plans.

Do the three-story buildings sell for more?

Buildings 24 and 25 sold at a $357,500 median over 60 months (n = 8) against $334,000 for two-story buildings (n = 20). They are also garage buildings with larger plans, so the record cannot separate height from size and parking.

Does unit size change price per square foot?

Yes. Over 24 months the median was $248 per heated square foot on the 1,190 plan (n = 5), $241 on the 1,347 plan (n = 3) and $216 on the 1,688 plan (n = 1), so a per-foot figure from another plan will mislead you.

Does a Zone AE building sell for less?

Not that the record can show. Over 24 months, three Zone AE sales had a $325,000 median and nine Zone X sales $329,900, and over 60 months both zones had $335,000 (n = 7 and n = 21). Samples that small could hide a gap, so bring an elevation certificate or insurance quote if you own in Buildings 30 to 35.

Do the 2022 roofs add value?

They remove a discount more than they add a premium. All twelve roofs were replaced under City permits issued July 6, 2022, so a buyer’s insurer sees a roof about four years old. We cannot isolate a dollar figure from so few sales, but the permit goes in every valuation.

Do HOA fees affect my condo’s value?

Yes, through the monthly cost. At a $325,000 price the yearly carrying cost is about $9,279 without homestead, and each $1,000 a year more is about $83 a month, which a buyer weighs against the price.

What is the Gardens association fee now?

It is not published online. The last posted figure is $998 a quarter from a proposed 2021 budget. The current fee and any special assessment come from the association in an estoppel certificate, which it has up to 10 business days to issue, so we order it first.

Does the $2,500 master contribution change what I can ask?

The buyer pays the $2,500 Bonita Fairways resale contribution at closing, with exemptions for a spouse or co-owner, inheritance or estate-planning trusts, foreclosure, and an owner who sells one Bonita Fairways home and buys another within a year. It rarely moves price, but a buyer counts it in cash to close.

Are Gardens condo values going down in 2026?

Flat to slightly lower. The 12-month median of $325,000 (n = 9) is 2.7% below the 2022 calendar-year median of $334,000 (n = 8) and above 2025’s $317,000 (n = 4). Days on market rose to 85 over 12 months from 45 over 24, yet 10 of 11 recent resales sold above the owner’s earlier price.

Are condo prices dropping in Florida?

We can speak to the Gardens and Bonita Fairways record, not the state. The two nearest condominiums, the Gardens and Bermuda Links, have 24-month MLS medians of $325,000 and $323,750 (n = 13 and n = 12), and neither shows a sharp fall.

Are home prices dropping in Bonita Springs?

Across all Bonita Fairways the MLS median was $339,000 over 12 months (n = 28) against $360,000 over 24 months (n = 87), but that mixes new builder closings at Botanika and Natura with 2007 resales. The Gardens alone held $325,000 in both windows.

How do Gardens values compare with other 2-bedroom condos in Bonita Springs?

Within the gate, the Gardens’ $327,450 county median (n = 12) is close to Bermuda Links at $312,500 (n = 15) and below Rosewood Pointe Garden at $346,500 (n = 6). Elsewhere in Bonita Springs, we run the same matched-sale comparison in a free valuation.

The county medians are $327,450 (n = 12) and $312,500 (n = 15) over 24 months, with nearly equal medians per square foot ($246 and $247), and the MLS medians $325,000 and $323,750. The Gardens sold faster, at 45 days against 78.5.

How long does a Gardens condo take to sell?

The MLS median was 45 days on market over 24 months (n = 13) and 85 days over 12 months (n = 11). Pricing inside the recorded range for your building type and plan is the biggest lever on that number.

How close to list price do Gardens condos sell?

The median sold-to-list ratio is 97.1% over 24 months (n = 13) and 96.6% over 12 months (n = 11), about 3 cents on the list dollar. It divides the sold price by the final list price.

What happens if my condo appraises below my sale price?

The buyer’s lender orders the appraisal, and if it comes in below the contract price, the buyer and seller can renegotiate, the buyer can pay the difference in cash, or the contract can end under its terms. Pricing from matched recorded sales keeps the comparables close to an appraiser’s.

Do renovations add value in the Gardens?

Probably, but the record cannot show how much. The county’s parcel data does not carry interior condition, so we walk your home and compare it with the nearest sale. Association rules require approved flooring and shutters, so check before you spend.

How does the age of the building affect value?

The Gardens was built in 2007 and its roofs are from 2022. Buildings 24 and 25 are three stories and fall under the milestone-inspection and reserve-study laws. Whether the association has completed its required reserve study is not in the public record we found, so it belongs on the estoppel checklist.

How does the association’s financial health affect appraisal and lender approval?

Lenders review condominium budgets, reserves, assessments and litigation before they approve a loan, and the Gardens’ current budget and reserve schedule are not posted online. The 2021 proposal set reserves at $138.25 a quarter per unit. The estoppel and financial statements answer the rest.

Does a pool, lake or golf view add value?

Probably, but the county record has no view field, so we cannot measure it from deeds. We look at the view and position at your home and compare it with matched sales. The association posts two neighborhood pools.

When is the best time to get my Gardens value checked?

Any time you are deciding, and at least once a year. Of 132 Gardens sales since 2012, 51 closed in March to May, so a January or February valuation gives you time to prepare. Ours are dated to the window they measure.

Do I need a CMA or an appraisal?

For a sale or a decision, a CMA, which is free and shows what a buyer would pay. For a mortgage, an estate, a divorce or a tax dispute you may need a licensed appraisal, which follows different rules and costs money.

Is the McGreevy and Comisar valuation really free?

Yes, with no obligation to list or to meet. McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, send a written range with the matched sales, the county’s market value and a net sheet; if you decide to list, our Gardens seller page explains how we price, market and negotiate.

What should I have ready for a valuation?

Your building address and floor, any updates and their dates, your roof and wind-mitigation paperwork, an elevation certificate if you own in Buildings 30 to 35, and your last association statement. None is required, but each narrows the range.

Can I get a valuation if I live out of state?

Yes. On the September 1, 2026 roll, 83 of the 134 homes list an owner mailing address outside Florida. We work from your photos, your building’s sales and the county record, arrange a local walk-through if you want one, and can handle a sale remotely. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

What price per square foot should I expect for a Gardens condo?

The median was $241 over 12 months (n = 9), $246 over 24 months (n = 12) and $273 over 60 months (n = 28), on the county’s heated area. By plan it runs from $216 on the 1,688 plan to $289 on the 1,386 plan (one sale each).

What would I net if I sold at the median price?

At $325,000 you would net about $301,990 with a 2.75% listing commission and 2.5% to the buyer’s agent, or about $310,115 without buyer-agent compensation, before your mortgage payoff and prorations. Commission is negotiable.

Are you thinking of buying in the Gardens too?

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

A Gardens specialist knows which building, parking type, floor, plan, flood zone and roof permit a home belongs to, and values the setting around it: a 2007 two-bedroom condominium in a gated Bonita Fairways community with a clubhouse, courts and a public golf course a few minutes away. A generalist prices a condo. A specialist prices your building’s sales, your floor and your plan.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, Southwest Florida MLS, City of Bonita Springs permits, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

The Bonita Fairways context we value with

Our Bonita Fairways community guide covers the clubhouse, courts, golf course and master rules, and our Gardens guide the twelve buildings, plans and permits. Every valuation starts from both.

If you are buying your next home too

Many Gardens owners are also buyers, moving to a single-family golf community such as Spanish Wells or Highland Woods, trading into a coach home at Grand Pines in Hunters Ridge, or looking at Worthington. See how we represent buyers, and Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 to time the sale and the purchase together.

If you are thinking of selling your Gardens home, start with the right number: a free valuation from the team that values from the recorded sales in your own building type, checks the roof permit and flood zone your buyer’s insurer will ask about, and puts a net sheet beside the price. McGreevy and Comisar have represented Bonita Springs sellers since 2008 from our South Tamiami Trail office.

As the leaders of Domain Realty Group, our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate, and McGreevy and Comisar alone have over $900 million in personal sales.
