What Is My Fairway Woods at The Forest Home Worth?

A Fairway Woods at The Forest condominium has recently been worth about $245,000 to $395,000, depending mostly on its floor plan. The Southwest Florida MLS counts 9 Fairway Woods closings in the 12 months to September 23, 2026 at a median of $350,000, and 12 closings over 24 months at a median of $365,000.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 23, 2026; Lee County parcel roll, queried September 2026)

Fairway Woods is 118 condominium units in three recorded sections and three county floor plans of 1,782, 1,937 and 2,962 heated square feet, so what your unit is worth comes down to which plan you own and what has been done to it. The sections, the two associations, the flood map and daily life are covered in full on our Fairway Woods at The Forest guide, and the whole gated community is on our The Forest community guide. This page is about the number, and how we arrive at it for your unit. If you are ready to sell, read how we sell Fairway Woods at The Forest homes; if you are buying, read our Fairway Woods at The Forest buyer guide.

The Short Answer, by Floor Plan

Over the 12 months to September 23, 2026, the two two-bedroom sales closed at $245,000 and $262,000, the three three-bedroom sales at a median of $325,000 (from $265,000 to $350,000), and the four four-bedroom sales at a median of $380,000, the mean of the middle pair $375,000 and $385,000, on a range of $370,000 to $395,000. Fewer than ten sales sit in any plan in a year, so we list them rather than lean on one average.

Why One Number Cannot Describe 118 Units in Three Plans

A median of $350,000 describes the neighborhood, not your unit. The four-bedroom plan is 1,180 square feet larger than the two-bedroom plan on the county roll, and in 2026 it has sold for roughly $110,000 to $150,000 more, by our arithmetic on the closed sales. A renovated two-bedroom unit and an original-condition four-bedroom unit are different products that happen to share a street name, Fairway Woods Drive.

What We Use Instead of an Automated Estimate

We use the closed sales of your plan, the five live listings, Lee County’s recorded qualified sales and its 2026 roll, your unit’s own permits and association approvals, and the fee layers and tax reset your buyer will underwrite. McGreevy and Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, and every figure in your valuation carries its source and date.

Why Should McGreevy and Comisar Value Your Fairway Woods Condominium?

McGreevy and Comisar should value your Fairway Woods condominium because the valuation is built from every Fairway Woods closing in the Southwest Florida MLS over four years, checked building by building against Lee County’s parcel roll and recorded sales, by two partners who are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and the #1 Team in Southwest Florida since 2012.

The Record, Stated Plainly

  • Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008
  • 5 Star Award for Customer Satisfaction for 21 Straight Years. Only 5 out of 21k+ Licensees (Gulfshore Life Magazine)
  • #1 Team in Southwest Florida since 2012
  • McGreevy and Comisar and their Domain Realty Group team have sold over $2.5 Billion in Real Estate
  • McGreevy and Comisar alone have over $900 million in Sales
  • Nationally Recognized Top Producing Realtors
  • Platinum Sales Production Award Winners

Those are career numbers across Lee and Collier County, not a claim about one neighborhood. If you are comparing teams across the city before you choose who values your unit, our guide to the best real estate agents in Fort Myers sets them side by side on the public record.

What We Do Not Publish About Ourselves, and Why

You will not find a McGreevy and Comisar sales count for Fairway Woods on this page, or a story about a Fairway Woods sale we handled. We would rather say that plainly than dress a career number up as a local one. What you will find is the whole market: 31 MLS closings over four years, Lee County’s qualified recorded sales beside them, and the five listings for sale today, each with its source and date.

Who Actually Writes Your Valuation

Jesse McGreevy writes it, from the MLS closings, the county record and your unit’s own documents, and Marc Comisar walks the unit when an in-person look will change the number. Nobody hands your valuation to an assistant or a software template. Reach Jesse at (239) 898-6072.

Why a Thin Market Makes the Valuation Matter More

With 9 closings in the last 12 months across 118 units, and only 3 in the 12 months before that, there is no deep pool of recent comparables for a buyer or an appraiser to lean on. In a neighborhood this size, the next sale of your plan becomes the comparable for every neighbor who sells after you. A valuation that is right the first time is worth more here than in a busy single-family street.

The Pages That Work Together for a Fairway Woods Owner

This valuation page gives you the number. Our seller page, how we sell Fairway Woods at The Forest homes, covers marketing, negotiation, costs and the two estoppels. If your home is elsewhere inside the gates, start with what a home in The Forest is worth, which applies the same method to all 19 recorded neighborhoods. For the neighbors your buyer will also tour, see our guides to Waters Edge at The Forest, The Heron at The Forest and Dove Hollow at The Forest.

Key Takeaways on Fairway Woods Values

These are the facts that decide most Fairway Woods prices, each drawn from the Southwest Florida MLS pulled September 23, 2026, the Lee County parcel roll and recorded sales, FEMA’s flood map or Florida statute, and each repeated with its source further down this page. Read them before you read any online estimate of your unit.

  • 118 units, three sections, three plans: the Lee County parcel roll records 36 units at 1,782 heated square feet (two bedrooms), 36 at 1,937 (three bedrooms) and 46 at 2,962 (four bedrooms), in 18 buildings, with a garage flagged on every unit.
  • Last 12 months (MLS): 9 closings, median $350,000, range $245,000 to $395,000, median $136.81 per square foot of living area, 34 median days on market, 96.34% of list.
  • Last 24 months, the first window with ten or more sales: 12 closings, median $365,000 (the mean of $360,000 and $370,000), $4,122,000 in volume.
  • Plan decides the price: over 48 months the four-bedroom plan sold at a median of $390,000 and $135.89 a foot; two-bedroom units at $273,750 and $146.47 a foot.
  • The largest plan sells furthest below list: a 48-month median of 94.21% of list for four-bedroom units, against 96.85% for two-bedroom units and 98.59% for three-bedroom units.
  • Supply: five listings on September 23, 2026, asking $310,000 to $339,000, about 6.7 months of supply against the last 12 months’ pace.
  • County record: Lee County recorded 38 qualified Fairway Woods sales from September 24, 2022 to June 25, 2026 at a median of $345,000, and 7 of them never appeared in the MLS.
  • Outside the milestone and reserve-study laws: every Fairway Woods building is recorded at one and two stories, below the three-story threshold in Florida’s statutes.
  • Zone AE, highest ground in The Forest: every unit sits in FEMA Zone AE at an 11-foot base flood elevation, on median ground of 8.5 to 9.1 feet NAVD88 by section.

How Is a Fairway Woods Condominium Actually Valued?

A Fairway Woods condominium is valued by starting from the closed sales of the same floor plan, placing the unit in its section and building, reconciling MLS and county square footage, grading condition and openings, reading the fee and flood file, adjusting older sales for time, and testing the result against the listings inside The Forest’s gates.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 23, 2026; Lee County parcel roll and recorded sales, queried September 2026)

Step One: Start From Your Floor Plan

The first comparables are the sales of your plan. A two-bedroom unit on the county’s 1,782 square foot plan starts from its six MLS sales at that size over four years, $240,000 to $294,000, the latest $262,000 in May 2026. A four-bedroom unit on the 2,962 square foot plan starts from its eleven sales at that size, $360,000 to $595,000, with the 2026 sales at $370,000 to $395,000. The three-bedroom plan sits between them.

Step Two: Place the Unit in Its Section and Building

Fairway Woods is three recorded sections: Section I, buildings 1 to 6; Section II, buildings 7, 8, 9, 16, 17 and 18; and Section III, buildings 10 to 15. A unit number’s leading digit or digits are the building, never the floor, so unit 1705 is in building 17. The section tells us which association’s budget, rules and estoppel your buyer will read.

Step Three: Reconcile the Square Footage

The Lee County parcel roll records three plans, 1,782, 1,937 and 2,962 heated square feet, and every unit carries one of them. Listing agents have entered other figures, 2,036, 2,123, 2,230 and 2,715 square feet, for units the county records at one of the three plans. We price from the county plan and report the MLS figure beside it, so your price per foot compares like with like.

Step Four: Grade the Condition

After roughly 35 to 40 years of owner updates, finish is the largest variable inside a plan. Kitchens, baths, flooring and lighting separate the bottom of a plan’s range from the top. We grade finish against the Fairway Woods units that actually sold, not against a generic Fort Myers renovation index.

Step Five: Credit the Openings and Hurricane Protection

Every Fairway Woods building was finished between 1986 and 1991, before the first statewide Florida Building Code took effect on March 1, 2002. Replaced windows, sliding doors and shutters, with permits and a wind-mitigation report, answer a buyer’s first insurance question. Which openings belong to the owner and which to the association is set in each section’s declaration, so we read it before we credit anything.

Step Six: Count the Garage and the Setting

The county flags a garage on all 118 units, so a garage is the Fairway Woods baseline rather than a premium. The name promises fairways, but which units look across a fairway, a lake or a neighbor’s building varies building by building, and the county roll gives no view code we would publish. We judge the outlook in person, sale by sale.

Step Seven: Read the Fee and Document File

A buyer underwrites two association layers, the Fairway Woods I or Fairway Woods II condominium association and The Forest’s master association, and neither publishes its fee. Those facts are the same for every unit in a section, so they set the neighborhood’s level rather than your unit’s place in it, but a missing estoppel or budget at launch costs days on market.

Step Eight: Adjust for Time

Fairway Woods’ closed sales span a repricing. The four-bedroom plan sold at $495,000 in 2023, at a 2024 median of $425,000, and at a median of $380,000 in both 2025 and 2026. A 2023 or 2024 sale is not a 2026 comparable without a time adjustment, and the $595,000 four-bedroom sale of August 2024 was an outlier, not a floor.

Step Nine: Test Against the Live Competition

On September 23, 2026 the MLS showed five Fairway Woods listings asking $310,000 to $339,000, none a four-bedroom unit, and one Waters Edge unit at $325,000. Your number has to make sense to a buyer standing in all six.

What Have Fairway Woods Condominiums Sold For in the Last 12 Months?

Fairway Woods condominiums sold nine times in the 12 months to September 23, 2026, at a Southwest Florida MLS median of $350,000, for $2,972,000 in closed volume. The range ran from $245,000 for a two-bedroom unit to $395,000 for a four-bedroom unit, at a median of $136.81 per square foot of living area.

The Nine Closings in Plain Terms

Nine is an odd count, so the $350,000 median is an observed sale: the three-bedroom unit in building 13 in March 2026. By section, Section I had three closings at a median of $262,000, Section II two, at $325,000 and $395,000, and Section III four at a median of $360,000, the mean of $350,000 and $370,000. Four of the nine closed in February 2026, the heart of the season.

The One Sale at Full Asking Price

One of the nine closed at its final list price: the three-bedroom unit in building 7 at $325,000 in December 2025, after 287 days on market. The other eight closed between 92.98% and 98.59% of their final list prices. The record holds the final list price, not the original one, so a long market time can hide earlier reductions.

Why the 12-Month and 24-Month Medians Move in Opposite Directions

The 12 months before this window, September 24, 2024 to September 23, 2025, recorded only three closings, all four-bedroom units, at a median of $380,000 and 90.11% of list. Add them to the nine and the 24-month median rises to $365,000 while the 12-month median sits at $350,000. The mix of floor plans changed more than the market did.

What the County Record Adds

Lee County’s recorded, qualified sales for the same three sections show 38 Fairway Woods sales from September 24, 2022 to June 25, 2026, the newest sale in the county file, at a median of $345,000. Matched to MLS closings by address, date and price, 7 of the 38 never appeared in the MLS. By section the county medians are $300,000 in Section I on 11 sales, $370,000 in Section II on 11, and $352,500 in Section III on 16. We read both records, because a seller who assumes the MLS shows every comparable can miss one.

What Is a Fairway Woods Condominium Worth by Floor Plan?

A Fairway Woods condominium is worth what its floor plan supports: over the 48 months to September 23, 2026, four-bedroom units sold at a median of $390,000, three-bedroom units at $335,000 and two-bedroom units at $273,750. Floor plan, not section, is what separates Fairway Woods prices, so every valuation starts inside one plan.

The 1,782 Square Foot Two-Bedroom Plan

Thirty-six units carry the county’s 1,782 square foot plan. Six MLS sales at 1,782 square feet of living area closed in four years, from $240,000 to $294,000, at a median of $261,000, the mean of $260,000 and $262,000. The two sales of the last 12 months were $245,000 in January 2026 and $262,000 in May 2026, the second after four days on market. The county’s 2026 median just value for the plan is about $207,300.

The 1,937 Square Foot Three-Bedroom Plan

Thirty-six units carry the county’s 1,937 square foot plan. Four MLS sales at 1,937 square feet closed in four years at a median of $332,500, the mean of $325,000 and $340,000, from $265,000 to $370,000; the latest was $265,000 in February 2026. Some listings describe this plan as two bedrooms plus a den, and several entered a larger living area, so we match it by the county record first.

The 2,962 Square Foot Four-Bedroom Plan

Forty-six units carry the county’s 2,962 square foot plan, 20 of them in the five eight-unit buildings, 1, 2, 13, 14 and 18. Eleven MLS sales at 2,962 square feet closed in four years at a median of $395,000 and $133.36 a foot, from $360,000 to $595,000. In 2026 the four sales ran $370,000 to $395,000. It is the most house inside the gates for the money, and the plan buyers negotiate hardest.

Two Bedrooms Plus a Den, and Other Listing Labels

The MLS carries its own labels: two bedrooms plus a den, three bedrooms, townhouse, low-rise. The county records the 2,962 square foot plan at one story and the 1,782 and 1,937 plans at two stories, and the MLS files some four-bedroom units as townhouses and others as low-rise units. We report the county’s attributes exactly as recorded and draw no conclusion from them about which units are upstairs; we walk the unit.

What the Plans Say About Value per Foot

The biggest plan is the cheapest per foot: $135.89 a foot for four-bedroom units over 48 months, against $146.47 for two-bedroom and $156.95 for three-bedroom units. A buyer pays for the unit, not the square foot, so the extra 1,180 square feet of the large plan adds much less than 1,180 times the small plan’s rate. That is why a community per-foot figure always misprices a Fairway Woods unit.

What Is a Fairway Woods Condominium Worth by Section?

A Fairway Woods condominium sells at a similar level in all three sections once the floor plan is held constant. Over 48 months Section I sold at a median of $309,500, Section II at $360,000 and Section III at $352,500, and those gaps come mostly from which plans happened to sell, not from a premium for the section.

Section I

Section I is the original Fairway Woods: 40 units in buildings 1 to 6, built in 1986 and 1987, with its own association, Fairway Woods at the Forest I Condominium Association Inc., and its own pool parcel at 16440 Fairway Woods Drive. Five of its eight MLS sales in 48 months were two-bedroom units, counting one listed as two bedrooms plus a den, which is why its median, $309,500, is the lowest of the three sections. Its median ground, 9.1 feet NAVD88, is the highest in The Forest.

Section II

Section II is 38 units in buildings 7, 8, 9, 16, 17 and 18, built 1988 to 1990, operated by Fairway Woods at the Forest II Condominium Association, Inc. It recorded the highest Fairway Woods sale of the period, a four-bedroom unit in building 17 at $595,000 in August 2024, and three of today’s five listings. Its county median, $370,000, is the highest of the three.

Section III

Section III is 40 units in buildings 10 to 15, built 1989 to 1991. Its own association merged into Section II’s in 1991, so a Section III owner belongs to Fairway Woods II and shares the recreation parcel and pool at 16220 Fairway Woods Drive. Section III has been the busiest section, 14 MLS closings in 48 months and four in the last 12 months at a median of $360,000.

Why the Section Rarely Sets the Price

The three sections share the same three floor plans, the same master association, the same FEMA panel and the same gates. What differs is the condominium association: Section I’s budget and rules against those of Fairway Woods II. A buyer reads the association’s documents, not the section number, so we value your unit on its plan first and adjust for the association file only when its budget, reserves or rules give a buyer a reason to.

What Does Price per Square Foot Tell You at Fairway Woods?

Price per square foot at Fairway Woods is mostly a floor-plan index, because the largest plan always prices lowest per foot. Over the 48 months to September 23, 2026 the median was $143.48 a square foot of MLS living area on 31 sales; over the last 12 months it was $136.81 on 9 sales.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 23, 2026)

The Numbers, Window by Window

Over 48 months: $143.48 a foot, 31 sales, the median an observed sale. Over 24 months: $135.08, the mean of $133.36 and $136.81, on 12 sales. Over 12 months: $136.81 on 9 sales. The per-sale figures ran from $121.54, a four-bedroom unit in June 2025, to $200.88, the four-bedroom building 17 sale of August 2024. We compute each sale’s own ratio and take the median of those, never total dollars over total feet.

MLS Living Area Versus County Heated Area

Two square-foot figures describe the same Fairway Woods unit, and they do not always agree. The county records three plans, 1,782, 1,937 and 2,962 heated square feet. MLS living area is entered by the listing agent, and several listings report 2,036, 2,123, 2,230 or 2,715 square feet for units the county records at one of the three plans. Every per-foot figure on this page uses MLS living area, because that is what a buyer’s agent and an appraiser see on the listing.

How to Use It on Your Own Unit

Place your unit among the sales of its own plan, read off the price per foot of its closest matches, and multiply by the plan’s square footage. That is a starting estimate, not a valuation, and the steps above adjust it for condition, openings, the document file and time.

How Have Fairway Woods Values Changed Since 2023?

Fairway Woods values have softened since 2023. The median price per square foot of living area fell from $167.12 in 2023 to $143.48 in 2024 and about $133 to $135 in 2025 and 2026, while the median sold price moved with the mix of plans that sold, from $340,000 in 2023 to $360,000 in 2026 to date.

Source: Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, closings September 24, 2022 to September 23, 2026, pulled September 23, 2026. No Fairway Woods MLS closing fell between September 24 and December 31, 2022, so 2023 is the first full year.

The Four-Bedroom Series

The four-bedroom plan is the cleanest series, because it is one plan of 2,962 square feet on the county roll. It sold at $495,000 in 2023 (one sale), at a median of $425,000 in 2024 (four sales, the middle pair both $425,000, on a range of $379,000 to $595,000), at a median of $380,000 in 2025 (three sales) and at a median of $380,000 in 2026 (four sales, the mean of $375,000 and $385,000). The 2025 and 2026 sales sit together, which is the level a four-bedroom valuation starts from today.

The Two-Bedroom Series

The two-bedroom record mixes the county’s 1,782 square foot plan with listings that entered 2,123 square feet. On the MLS labels it sold at $294,000 and $370,000 in 2023, at a median of $273,750 in 2024 (six sales, the mean of $262,500 and $285,000), and at $245,000 and $262,000 in 2026. Both 2026 sales sit below the 2024 median.

The One Unit That Sold Twice

One building 15 unit sold at $335,000 in September 2023 and again at $370,000 in February 2024, a 10.4 percent gain in five months by our arithmetic. It is the only repeat sale in the four-year MLS record, and it came at the top of the market, before the per-foot slide of 2024 and 2025.

After Hurricane Ian

No Fairway Woods MLS closing fell between September 24 and December 31, 2022, the weeks after Hurricane Ian; the first MLS closing in the window was January 10, 2023, at its full list price of $340,000. Lee County’s file does record two qualified Fairway Woods deeds in November and December 2022 that never appeared in the MLS. Without their terms we do not use them as comparables.

What the Series Means for Your Valuation

An owner who bought before 2023 still holds a gain on most plans, but the per-foot record says the 2023 level is not today’s level. The 2026 sales, $245,000 to $395,000, are the evidence a buyer’s appraiser will use, and a valuation that anchors on 2023 or on the $595,000 outlier invites a long market time.

How Long Do Fairway Woods Condominiums Take to Sell, and How Close to Asking?

Fairway Woods condominiums took a median of 34 days on market and sold at a median of 96.34% of list price in the 12 months to September 23, 2026, on 9 closings. Only one of the nine closed at its full final list price, and on September 23, 2026 five units were for sale, about 6.7 months of supply.

Reading a 96 Percent Sale-to-List

A 96.34% median says Fairway Woods buyers negotiate about four percent off a final list price, and in a neighborhood of three repeated plans they negotiate with the plan’s recent sales in hand. The four-bedroom plan negotiates hardest, a 48-month median of 94.21% of list, against 96.85% for two-bedroom and 98.59% for three-bedroom units. A four-bedroom list price has to start where the closed sales are.

The five ask a median of $325,000. The three-bedroom asks sit at or near the $325,000 median of the last 12 months’ three-bedroom sales. The two-bedroom listing asks $335,000 against two-bedroom closings of $245,000 and $262,000 in the same 12 months, and the building 3 unit on the list sold in August 2023 for $325,000 and is offered today at the same price.

Months of Supply

Five listings against 9 closings in the last 12 months is about 6.7 months of supply, by our arithmetic. Against the slower 24-month pace, 12 sales in 24 months, the same five listings are about 10 months. By the usual rule of thumb, more than six months favors buyers, so Fairway Woods leans toward buyers on either measure, and pricing to the plan’s recent sales matters more than usual.

The Season

Four of the nine closings of the last 12 months fell in February 2026, and none closed between June and September 2026 after the May sale. A closing lags its contract by several weeks, so a Fairway Woods unit that is valued, prepared and listed by early January meets the largest pool of seasonal buyers.

The Pricing Strategy That Follows

Price to the band your plan can honestly reach, present the unit for the season, and have both estoppels and the association documents ordered before the first showing. In a market this thin, the right price at launch usually sells faster and nets more than a high price followed by reductions.

Fairway Woods vs Waters Edge at The Forest: Which Condominium Will Your Buyer Compare?

A Fairway Woods buyer most often compares Waters Edge at The Forest, the other large-unit condominium inside the gates. Fairway Woods offers more space for the money, a garage on every unit and the highest ground in The Forest; Waters Edge offers a smaller 36-unit neighborhood with one-story villas and sells closer to asking at a higher price per foot.

Who Should Choose Which, and What That Means for Your Price

A buyer should choose Fairway Woods for the most interior space inside the gates for the money, a garage on every unit, a 2,962 square foot four-bedroom plan on 46 of its 118 units, and the highest ground in The Forest. A buyer should choose Waters Edge at The Forest for a one-story villa in a 36-unit neighborhood and is prepared to pay about $59 more per square foot of living area for it, by our arithmetic on the 48-month medians. Your Fairway Woods valuation has to sit where a Waters Edge shopper can say yes to the extra space.

Where the Two Overlap on Price

Waters Edge’s two products are two markets. Over 48 months its units in the two-story buildings closed at $280,000 to $404,000, at a median of $325,000 on five sales, and its villas at $425,000 to $520,000 on six sales. A Fairway Woods four-bedroom unit, at $370,000 to $395,000 in 2026, sits between them: more space than any Waters Edge unit and less money than any Waters Edge villa.

Why Waters Edge Sells Closer to Asking

Waters Edge closed at a median of 97.94% of list over 48 months, and its three sales of the last 12 months at a median of 99.05%, including a 2,222 square foot villa at its $425,000 list price with 0 days on market in May 2026. Fewer units and a scarcer one-story villa product explain most of it. Fairway Woods, with 118 units and five listings, gives buyers a choice, so its list prices have to be sharper.

Where Fairway Woods Wins the Comparison

Fairway Woods’ median ground, 8.5 to 9.1 feet by section, is 1.9 to 2.5 feet above Waters Edge’s 6.6 feet, and no Hurricane Ian high-water mark was surveyed at a Fairway Woods building, while one was surveyed about 2.9 feet above ground at a Waters Edge building. For a buyer whose first question is the flood file, that is the strongest line in a Fairway Woods listing.

Why Do Online Estimates Miss on Fairway Woods Condominiums?

Online estimates miss on Fairway Woods condominiums because they read 118 units under one MLS name, listing square footage that does not match the county’s three plans, unit numbers that look like floors, and a county roll that values each plan in a narrow band, while the price turns on plan, condition and the document file.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 23, 2026; Lee County parcel roll, 2026)

Three Sections and Three Plans Under One Name

The MLS carries all three Fairway Woods sections under one neighborhood name, and the county splits them into three recorded instruments. A model that averages the neighborhood blends a $245,000 two-bedroom sale with a $395,000 four-bedroom sale and describes neither unit.

Square Footage That Does Not Match

A model divides by whatever square footage its source carries. At Fairway Woods, listings have entered 2,036, 2,123, 2,230 and 2,715 square feet for units the county records at 1,782, 1,937 or 2,962. The same unit can look expensive or cheap per foot depending on which figure a model picked up.

A Unit Number That Is Not a Floor

At Fairway Woods the leading digit or digits of a unit number are the building, so unit 1402 is in building 14, not on a fourteenth floor. Every Fairway Woods building is recorded at one and two stories. A model or a listing that reads a floor from the number is wrong, and a buyer who notices loses trust in the rest.

A County Just Value That Is Not a Price

Lee County’s 2026 just values, a mass-appraisal figure set for taxation, run at medians of about $207,300 for the 1,782 square foot plan, $219,317 for the 1,937 plan and about $289,600 for the 2,962 plan. The 2026 sales of those plans ran $245,000 to $395,000. The roll is useful for comparing plans, not for pricing one unit.

What a Model Cannot See

A model cannot see replaced windows and a wind-mitigation report, a renovated kitchen, the outlook from a unit, the association’s budget and reserve schedule, or an estoppel with nothing owed. At Fairway Woods those are the difference between the top and the bottom of a plan’s range.

What to Do With an Online Estimate You Have Already Seen

Treat it as the number a buyer may have seen, not as your value. If it is low, your valuation should show why, with your plan’s sales and your unit’s documents. If it is high, better to know before you list than after a season on the market.

What Costs Will a Fairway Woods Buyer Price Into Your Offer?

A Fairway Woods buyer prices in two association assessments, the Fairway Woods I or Fairway Woods II condominium fee and The Forest’s master assessment, plus a Lee County tax bill that resets at sale, the San Carlos Park fire levy, private sewer and flood insurance. Neither Fairway Woods association and not the master association publishes its fee.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County and San Carlos Park Fire Protection and Rescue Service District records; Florida Statutes; retrieved September 2026)

Two Associations, Two Estoppels

Each Fairway Woods association sets its own fee, which is not published; it appears in that association’s budget and resale estoppel certificate. The master association does not publish its assessment either; the amount appears in its annual budget and on the estoppel certificate issued with every resale. Florida caps each estoppel fee at $250 when nothing is delinquent, plus $100 for delivery within three business days and up to $150 more if the account is delinquent, under section 718.116 for the condominium and section 720.30851 for the master association.

Special Assessments and Reserves

Neighborhood associations’ special assessments are not published; buyers can find them in the association’s estoppel certificate and meeting minutes. A buyer reads the reserve schedule in the budget and asks the board for its roof and paving history, and a seller who has those in the file before listing removes a reason to discount.

The Tax Reset

Florida’s Save Our Homes cap resets to just value on a change of ownership under section 193.155, so a buyer’s tax bill will usually be higher than a long-time homesteaded seller’s. Forty-six of Fairway Woods’ 118 units carry a homestead exemption on the Lee County parcel roll. The bill also carries the San Carlos Park Fire Protection and Rescue Service District levy of 2.3590 mills for fiscal year 2025/26 and Lee County’s solid waste assessment; there is no community development district and no county MSTBU line.

Sewer and the Club

Forest Utilities, Inc., a private utility, provides sewer service; its rates are not published online, so we ask every seller for twelve months of bills. The Forest is a non-bundled community: buying a home does not require joining the club, so a Fairway Woods buyer who does not join owes the club nothing, and no club value is built into a Fairway Woods price.

Documentary Stamp Tax, the Seller’s Line

Documentary stamp tax on the deed is 70 cents per $100 of consideration under section 201.02. By our arithmetic it is $1,834 on a $262,000 two-bedroom sale, $2,450 at the $350,000 twelve-month median and $2,765 on a $395,000 four-bedroom sale. Our full cost walk-through is on our guide to selling a Fairway Woods at The Forest home.

Why We Do Not Add Them Up

Each layer is set by a different party on a different billing cycle, and none of the associations publishes a schedule. A single total assembled from guesses would look precise and be wrong for someone. We put each layer, its source and its estoppel route side by side instead, and fill in the real figures from your association’s documents.

Do the Milestone and Reserve-Study Laws Affect a Fairway Woods Valuation?

No. Florida’s milestone structural inspections and structural integrity reserve studies apply to condominium buildings three or more stories in height, and Lee County records every Fairway Woods building at one and two stories. In The Forest, only Sparrowood’s three buildings reach three stories, so a Fairway Woods seller carries neither requirement into the sale.

Data updated: September 2026 (Florida Statutes; Lee County parcel roll, queried September 2026)

What the Statutes Say

Section 553.899 requires milestone structural inspections of condominium buildings three habitable stories or more in height, and section 718.112(2)(g) requires a structural integrity reserve study for the same class of building and states that it does not apply to buildings less than three stories in height.

Why Being Outside Them Helps a Seller

Since those laws took effect, the first structural question a Florida condominium buyer asks is whether the building has passed its milestone inspection and whether its reserve study is funded. At Fairway Woods the honest answer is that neither applies, which removes a line of doubt that buyers of three-story condominiums elsewhere have to price.

The Documents That Still Matter

Being outside the statutes does not make reserves optional. A buyer will still ask each Fairway Woods association for its current budget and reserve schedule, its most recent roof and paving work, its insurance declarations, and whether any special assessment is proposed or levied. Those documents show whether a building finished between 1986 and 1991 has been kept up.

How Does the Flood Zone Affect a Fairway Woods Valuation?

The flood zone affects a Fairway Woods valuation at the neighborhood level: every unit sits in FEMA Zone AE with an 11-foot base flood elevation on panel 12071C0438H, effective November 17, 2022, so every financed buyer carries flood insurance. What sets Fairway Woods apart is ground, the highest in The Forest.

Data updated: September 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective November 17, 2022; Lee County 2018 LiDAR spot elevations; U.S. Geological Survey Short-Term Network, Hurricane Ian)

Zone AE at 11 Feet, on One Panel

Every Fairway Woods parcel reads Zone AE, base flood elevation 11 feet NAVD88, inside the Special Flood Hazard Area, on FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer and on Lee County’s republished FIRM layer. All three sections are on one panel, 12071C0438H. The November 2022 revision raised the base flood elevation across The Forest by one foot, from 10 to 11 feet.

The Highest Ground in The Forest

Fairway Woods’ median ground is 9.1 feet NAVD88 in Section I, 8.7 in Section II and 8.5 in Section III, per Lee County’s 2018 LiDAR spot elevations layer, the three highest readings of all 19 neighborhoods inside the gates. That is 1.9 to 2.5 feet below the base flood elevation by our arithmetic, the smallest gap in the community. Ground is a starting point for insurance, not a substitute for the building’s elevation certificate.

Hurricane Ian, Measured Rather Than Remembered

U.S. Geological Survey crews surveyed Hurricane Ian high-water marks of about 2.9 feet above ground at a Waters Edge condominium building inside The Forest, per the agency’s Short-Term Network record for Ian. No mark was surveyed at a Fairway Woods building, and no public record we reached says whether water entered any Fairway Woods unit. We do not treat listing descriptions of storm history as evidence, and neither should a buyer.

Insurance as a Value Input

Under section 718.111(11), the association insures the condominium property under its master policy and each owner insures the interior, contents and improvements under a unit-owners policy. Unincorporated Lee County is a Class 5 community in FEMA’s Community Rating System, worth a 25 percent discount on eligible NFIP flood premiums. We publish no premium, because a premium quoted without the master policy and the elevation certificate is a guess.

The 50 Percent Rule

Lee County applies FEMA’s substantial improvement and substantial damage rule in unincorporated Lee County, per the county’s substantial improvement page: work costing 50 percent or more of a building’s market value brings the structure under current flood rules. In a condominium that is the association’s concern for the building, which is one more reason buyers ask for the association’s insurance and reserve file.

What Helps

Give buyers the association’s master policy declarations and your unit-owners policy early, ask the association whether the building has an elevation certificate, and have a wind-mitigation report on your unit’s openings. A buyer who can price flood and wind cover on day one discounts less for uncertainty.

What Must a Fairway Woods Seller Deliver Before the Contract Is Signed?

A Fairway Woods seller owes every buyer Florida’s flood disclosure at or before contract, and, because Fairway Woods is a condominium, the section 718.503 resale documents: the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, the latest financial information and the question-and-answer sheet. A missed delivery hands the buyer a cancellation right and a second chance to negotiate.

Data updated: September 2026 (Florida Statutes; Florida Division of Corporations filings, retrieved September 2026)

This is information, not legal advice; a closing agent or real estate attorney should confirm how the rules apply to your unit. It belongs on a valuation page because a buyer with a way out negotiates the price again.

The Condominium Package Under Section 718.503

For a condominium resale, section 718.503 requires the seller to give the buyer the declaration, articles of incorporation, bylaws and rules, the association’s most recent year-end financial information and its frequently asked questions and answers document. If they are not delivered before signing, the buyer may cancel within the period the statute sets. Section 720.401 does not apply to an association regulated under Chapter 718; how the master association’s own disclosure is handled on a condominium resale is a question for your closing agent.

The Flood Disclosure

Every seller must complete and provide a flood disclosure at or before the time the sales contract is executed, under section 689.302. At Fairway Woods the zone is the same for every unit, so the disclosure is straightforward, and a seller who adds the building’s elevation certificate turns a required form into a selling point.

The Association Approval Step

Section I’s Amended and Restated Articles, adopted April 29, 2024 and filed July 12, 2024, give its association the power “To approve or disapprove the transfer, leasing and occupancy of units, as provided in the Declaration.” We read the declaration’s approval procedure on day one and build it into the contract timeline, because an approval that runs late moves the closing date.

What Moves the Number Before You List a Fairway Woods Condominium?

The items that move a Fairway Woods number before listing are the document file, the flood and wind paperwork, condition inside the plan’s range, association approval letters for past alterations, and timing for the season. None of them changes the plan you own; each of them changes where in the plan’s range your unit sells.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 23, 2026)

The Document File on Day One

Order both estoppel certificates, both budgets with the reserve schedule, the insurance declarations and the declaration with every amendment before the first showing. Fees are not published at any layer at Fairway Woods, so the unit that answers the fee question on day one competes against units that cannot.

The Elevation Certificate and Wind-Mitigation Report

Ask the association for the building’s elevation certificate and commission a wind-mitigation report on your unit’s openings. Both feed straight into a buyer’s insurance quote, and both are documents rather than claims.

Renovation That Returns, and Renovation That Does Not

The closed sales say plan and finish together explain the spread inside each plan: the 2026 two-bedroom sales ran $245,000 to $262,000 and the four-bedroom sales $370,000 to $395,000. A renovation aimed at the top of your plan’s band usually pays; one aimed beyond it rarely does, because the next plan up sets the ceiling.

Approval Letters for Alterations

Alterations that touch the building, windows, doors, flooring over another unit or the exterior normally need association approval under the declaration and rules. Find the letters for any past work; a missing letter becomes a negotiation point.

Timing for the Season

Four of the nine closings of the last 12 months fell in February 2026. The master association’s 2022 emergency plan estimates The Forest’s population at about 1,000 year-round and about 2,000 in peak season, so a unit valued and prepared in the fall and listed by early January meets them at the right time.

Frequently Asked Questions, Seller Edition: Valuing a Fairway Woods Condominium

These are the questions Fairway Woods at The Forest owners ask about value, answered from the Southwest Florida MLS pulled September 23, 2026, Lee County’s parcel roll and recorded sales, the associations’ state filings, FEMA’s map and Florida statute, each with its window and source stated in the sections above.

What is my Fairway Woods condo worth?

Recent Fairway Woods sales ran from $245,000 to $395,000 in the 12 months to September 23, 2026, median $350,000 on 9 closings. Your floor plan, condition and document file place you in that range.

How do I get an accurate valuation on a Fairway Woods unit?

Start from the closed sales of your floor plan, adjust for condition, openings and the association file, and test against the live listings. Request one on this page or call Jesse McGreevy at (239) 898-6072.

What did Fairway Woods condos sell for in the last twelve months?

Nine MLS closings from September 24, 2025 to September 23, 2026: $245,000, $262,000, $265,000, $325,000, $350,000, $370,000, $375,000, $385,000 and $395,000.

What is a two-bedroom Fairway Woods unit worth?

The two two-bedroom sales of the last 12 months were $245,000 and $262,000. Over 48 months ten two-bedroom sales closed at a median of $273,750, the mean of $262,500 and $285,000.

What is a three-bedroom Fairway Woods unit worth?

The three three-bedroom sales of the last 12 months closed at $265,000, $325,000 and $350,000, a median of $325,000. Over 48 months seven sold at a median of $335,000.

What is a four-bedroom Fairway Woods unit worth?

The four four-bedroom sales of 2026 closed at $370,000 to $395,000, a median of $380,000, the mean of $375,000 and $385,000. Over 48 months twelve sold at a median of $390,000.

What is the price per square foot at Fairway Woods?

A median of $136.81 per square foot of MLS living area over the last 12 months and $143.48 over 48 months. The four-bedroom plan is the lowest per foot, $135.89 over 48 months.

Why is the biggest Fairway Woods plan the cheapest per square foot?

Buyers pay for the unit, not the foot. The 2,962 square foot plan has sold for roughly $110,000 to $150,000 more than the 1,782 square foot plan in 2026, by our arithmetic, far less than 1,180 times the small plan’s rate.

Does my section change my Fairway Woods value?

Rarely by itself. All three sections share the same plans, gates, master association and flood panel; the section decides which condominium association’s budget and rules your buyer reads.

Does my unit number tell buyers which floor I am on?

No. The leading digit or digits are the building number, so unit 1705 is in building 17. The county records every Fairway Woods building at one and two stories.

Why are online estimates for my Fairway Woods condo so far apart?

Because listings have entered living areas that do not match the county’s three plans, the MLS files three sections under one name, and a model cannot see condition or the document file.

Is the county’s just value what my Fairway Woods unit would sell for?

No. The 2026 medians, about $207,300, $219,317 and about $289,600 by plan, are mass-appraisal figures for tax. The 2026 sales of those plans ran $245,000 to $395,000.

How long does a Fairway Woods condo take to sell?

A median of 34 days on market in the 12 months to September 23, 2026, and 42 days over 48 months. The three sales of the prior 12 months took a median of 134 days.

What is the sale-to-list ratio at Fairway Woods?

A median of 96.34% of the final list price over the last 12 months and 96.27% over 48 months. Four-bedroom units negotiate hardest, a 48-month median of 94.21%.

How many Fairway Woods condos are for sale right now?

Five on September 23, 2026, asking $310,000 to $339,000, none a four-bedroom unit. Listings change weekly.

Is now a good time to sell a Fairway Woods condo?

For a prepared unit priced to its plan’s recent sales, yes; but five listings against nine closings a year is about 6.7 months of supply, which leans toward buyers, so the price has to be right at launch.

Are Fairway Woods prices going down?

The price per foot fell from $167.12 in 2023 to about $133 to $135 in 2025 and 2026. The four-bedroom median has held at $380,000 in both 2025 and 2026.

When is the best time of year to list a Fairway Woods condo?

Four of the last 12 months’ nine closings fell in February 2026. A unit valued in the fall and listed by early January meets the season’s buyers.

Do Fairway Woods condos sell outside the MLS?

Some do. Lee County recorded 38 qualified Fairway Woods sales from September 24, 2022 to June 25, 2026, and 7 of them never appeared in the MLS.

Does a fairway or lake view change my value?

It can, but the county roll carries no view code we would publish for a condominium, and the MLS rows do not record views consistently. We judge the outlook in person, sale by sale.

Does the garage add value at Fairway Woods?

The county flags a garage on all 118 units, so it is the Fairway Woods baseline. It matters most when your buyer compares a unit elsewhere in The Forest without covered parking.

Do new windows or shutters raise my Fairway Woods value?

They help when they are permitted and documented in a wind-mitigation report, because they feed a buyer’s insurance quote. Every building predates the first statewide Florida Building Code of March 1, 2002.

Should I renovate before I sell my Fairway Woods condo?

Only toward the top of your plan’s own range. The next plan up sets the ceiling, so a renovation aimed beyond your plan’s band rarely returns its cost.

Do the milestone inspection and reserve study laws apply to Fairway Woods?

No. They apply to condominium buildings three or more stories in height, and every Fairway Woods building is recorded at one and two stories.

What flood zone is Fairway Woods in?

Zone AE, base flood elevation 11 feet NAVD88, on FEMA panel 12071C0438H, effective November 17, 2022, on median ground of 8.5 to 9.1 feet, the highest in The Forest.

Did Hurricane Ian flood Fairway Woods?

No surveyed high-water mark was taken at a Fairway Woods building, and no public record we reached says whether water entered any unit. The nearest surveyed mark, at Waters Edge, was about 2.9 feet above ground.

What are the Fairway Woods association fees?

Neither Fairway Woods association and not the master association publishes its fee. Each amount appears in the association’s budget and on the estoppel certificate issued with every resale.

How many estoppel certificates does a Fairway Woods sale need?

Two: one from your condominium association, Fairway Woods I or Fairway Woods II, and one from The Forest’s master association. Florida law caps what either may charge.

Does club membership affect what my Fairway Woods condo is worth?

The Forest is a non-bundled community, so buying a home does not require joining the club, and no club value is built into a Fairway Woods price.

How will my buyer’s property tax compare with mine?

Likely higher if you hold a homestead exemption, because Florida’s Save Our Homes cap resets to just value on a change of ownership. Forty-six of the 118 units carry a homestead exemption.

Does the association have to approve my buyer?

Section I’s 2024 restated articles give its association the power to approve or disapprove the transfer, leasing and occupancy of units, as provided in the declaration. Read your section’s declaration for the procedure.

How does Fairway Woods compare with Waters Edge on value?

Waters Edge sold 11 units in 48 months at a median of $425,000 and $202.91 a foot; Fairway Woods sold 31 at $350,000 and $143.48 a foot. The decision table above sets them side by side.

Should I get an appraisal or a valuation before listing?

A valuation for pricing strategy; an appraisal only if you need a formal opinion for an estate, a divorce or a lender. Your buyer’s lender will order its own appraisal either way.

Should I rent my Fairway Woods condo instead of selling?

Read the declaration first: leasing terms are not published online, and Section I’s articles give its association approval power over leasing. Florida’s transient rental taxes apply to rentals of six months or less.

Who is the best agent to value my Fairway Woods condo?

The one who can show you every Fairway Woods sale of your plan, from both the MLS and the county, with sources. Compare teams on the public record before you choose.

What should I do first if I am thinking about selling?

Get a written valuation from your plan’s sales, order both estoppels and the association documents, and gather the elevation certificate and a wind-mitigation report. Call Jesse McGreevy at (239) 898-6072.

Frequently Asked Questions, Buyer Edition

Buyers comparing Fairway Woods with other condominiums inside The Forest’s gates ask these three questions most often, and the answers come from the same MLS pull, county roll and FEMA map used for the seller answers above. For a full buyer plan, call Marc Comisar at (239) 287-5873.

Do I have to join the club to buy at Fairway Woods?

No. The Forest is a non-bundled community, per the club’s membership page and the master association’s resident portal; membership is a separate choice.

Which Fairway Woods plan is the best value?

On price per foot, the 2,962 square foot four-bedroom plan, at a 48-month median of $135.89 a foot. Read how we represent buyers in Southwest Florida and our Fairway Woods at The Forest buyer guide.

How do I check the flood file for a specific Fairway Woods unit?

Pull the panel from FEMA’s Map Service Center, ask the association for the building’s elevation certificate, and ask the seller for the flood disclosure under section 689.302.
