What Is My Falling Waters Naples Home Worth?

A Falling Waters condo in Naples was worth between $250,000 and $465,000 in the 12 months to August 11, 2026, with a $332,000 median across 40 MLS closings, but your value depends first on which of the nine condominium sections you own in, then on floor, view, parking and your building’s condition.

Falling Waters is a gated community of 786 condominiums in nine associations off Davis Boulevard, ZIP 34112; our Falling Waters community guide covers the sections, rules and flood file. This page answers one question: what your condo is worth. We tracked every one of those 40 closings by section before writing it. If you already plan to sell, our Falling Waters seller guide covers pricing, marketing and costs; if you are buying, see our Falling Waters buyer guide. For citywide values, see our Naples home valuation page.

Why One Falling Waters Number Cannot Describe Your Condo

The nine condominiums were recorded from 1992 to 2002, hold from 20 to 144 homes and differ in parking, lake orientation, manager and fee (DBPR registry). Two condos of similar size can sit $84,000 apart at the section medians. A valuation that starts from the community median starts in the wrong place.

What We Use Instead of an Automated Estimate

We start with your section’s closings, add the community’s closings for your floor plan, and adjust by hand for what a model cannot see: your floor, your view, your garage or carport, your updates and your building’s roof, reserves and any special assessment.

Standard Sales and Flagged Records, Kept Apart

One of the 40 Falling Waters closings carried an SDE flag in the MLS. It is a real recorded sale and counts in the totals and the median; it is excluded only when we measure days on market and sale-to-list (Southwest Florida MLS).

What the Form Asks

Your address and section, bedrooms and baths, floor, view, garage or carport, the year and scope of any updates, and whether you are thinking of selling, renting or just want a number.

What Comes Back

  • A price range for your condo, set against its section’s closings

  • The adjustments that move it, up or down, with the reason for each

  • The active competition in your section that day

  • A timing note against the winter and spring season, when 28 of the last 40 closings fell (Southwest Florida MLS)

Why Should McGreevy and Comisar Value Your Falling Waters Home?

McGreevy and Comisar should value your Falling Waters condo because they price nine sections separately, read both association layers, and bring career-scale market depth: the #5 real estate team in Florida in the 2026 RealTrends rankings, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, and over $900 million in personal sales.

  • Nationally Recognized Top Producing Realtors
  • Platinum Sales Production Award Winners

Domain Realty, our brokerage, closed 658 transaction sides in Naples in the 60 months to October 5, 2026, $521.5 million in volume counted by side, per the Southwest Florida MLS pulled that day.

Who Actually Writes Your Valuation

Jesse McGreevy or Marc Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, writes it personally. Jesse has sold Southwest Florida real estate since 2004 and the team has worked together since 2008. You get a partner’s number, with the reasons behind it.

Why a Nine-Section Community Makes the Valuation Matter More

In a single-builder subdivision, a median is a fair start. In Falling Waters, where section medians ran from $290,000 to $384,000 in one year (Southwest Florida MLS), the section is the first and largest adjustment. Getting it wrong costs more than any update you made.

The Three Pages That Work Together for a Falling Waters Owner

This valuation page gives you the number; the Falling Waters seller guide shows how we sell; the Falling Waters community guide holds the full record buyers read.

Why Does Our Valuation Beat an Online Automated Estimate?

Our Falling Waters valuation beats an online automated estimate because a model sees a community name and a square footage, while we see the section, the floor, the view, the parking, the building’s roof and reserves and the fees, which together explain most of the $250,000 to $465,000 spread in the last year.

What an Automated Model Cannot See in Falling Waters

  • Which of nine associations you belong to, and its fee and reserve position

  • Your floor and your lake, waterfall or pool view

  • A garage, a carport or open parking

  • Your building’s roof year and wind-mitigation features

  • An approved or pending special assessment

  • Whether furniture is included in a sale price

Where a Model and a Person Disagree Most

They disagree most in thin sections. Cascades and Orchid Falls each sold twice in 12 months and Magnolia Cove not at all (Southwest Florida MLS); a model fills the gap with sales from other sections. We widen the window, match the nearest section by age and parking, and tell you how confident the number is.

What a McGreevy and Comisar Valuation Adds

As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we give you a range, not a single guess; the reason for each adjustment; the competition the day you ask; and a plan for when to list. If the right answer is to wait for season, we say so.

Key Takeaways on Falling Waters Home Values

Falling Waters values are set section by section and season by season; in the last 12 months we tracked 40 closings across eight MLS names. These eight facts frame every Falling Waters valuation we write, each with its source and date.

  • Range: $250,000 to $465,000, median $332,000, on 40 closings (Southwest Florida MLS, Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026).

  • Top section: Magnolia Falls, $384,000 median on 9 sales, with garages.

  • Value section: Rosewood, $300,000 median on 8 sales.

  • Season: 28 of 40 closings fell between January and June 2026.

  • Price bands: 9 sales under $300,000, 16 from $300,000 to $349,999, 9 from $350,000 to $399,999, 6 at $400,000 or more (our grouping).

  • Flood: Zone X at every sampled condominium address (FEMA NFHL), a value support.

  • Fees: two association layers, neither published publicly; no CDD.

  • Nearby: a Whole Foods Market proposed about 0.26 mile away (Naples Press).

How Do We Value Falling Waters Homes?

We value a Falling Waters condo in ten steps, from the section and the unit to the building’s condition, the fees, the flood file and the season, then test the result against the closed sales and the live competition, so the number you get is one a buyer’s appraiser can follow.

Step One: Identify the Section and the Association

The state registry tells us which of the nine condominiums your unit is in and when it was recorded (DBPR registry). The MLS name may differ: Falling Waters I trades as Orchid Falls, and some sales carry only the community name.

Step Two: Place the Unit in Its Building

Floor level, end or interior position and the view from the lanai each move value. Falling Waters I’s homes have “a direct sight line to the pool” (Falling Waters I); many others face a lake or waterfall.

Step Three: Price the Parking

Magnolia Falls’ 12 buildings have garages (Magnolia Falls); boats, trailers and RVs are allowed only inside a garage (community information sheet). A garage is a measurable premium.

Step Four: Price the Updates

Kitchens, baths, flooring, windows and air conditioning move value, up to your section’s ceiling. We value updates at what a buyer pays for them, not what they cost.

Step Five: Read the Building’s Condition

Roof year, impact windows or shutters and the wind-mitigation report shape a buyer’s insurance quote and offer; the reports are filed in the owner library (Falling Waters FAQ).

Thinking of Selling a Falling Waters Condo Before Season?

Request a Falling Waters valuation now and we will time it against the season, or Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072. Buying too? Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers.

What Records Do We Read Before We Price a Falling Waters Home?

Before we price a Falling Waters condo we read the records a buyer’s agent, lender and insurer will read: the FEMA flood finding, the master and condominium budgets and reserves, the estoppel, the association’s rules on leasing and pets, and the closed and active sales in your section.

Step Six: Read the Flood File

Every sampled condominium address is Zone X on panels effective February 8, 2024, and the preliminary map shows no change (FEMA NFHL; FEMA preliminary NFHL). That supports value against coastal condominiums in AE zones.

Step Seven: Price the Fee Stack Your Buyer Inherits

Your buyer pays the master assessment and your condominium’s, neither published publicly (Falling Waters FAQ). A lower fee with funded reserves supports a higher price.

Step Eight: Read the Governance File

We read the condominium’s minutes for roof projects, structural-reserve studies and assessments, and confirm the building’s story count, which decides whether milestone inspections apply (s. 553.899).

Step Nine: Read the Leasing and Pet Rules

Investor buyers pay for rental flexibility. Your section’s lease minimum and the master’s renter credentials, $160 to $230 per stay, shape who will buy and at what price (amenity rates).

Step Ten: Test the Number Against the Market

Finally we test the range against the last closings in your section, the community’s 40 sales and the active listings that day, and adjust for the season.

What Are Falling Waters Homes Worth, Section by Section?

Falling Waters section values in the 12 months to August 11, 2026 ran from a $290,000 median for sales filed under the community name to $384,000 in Magnolia Falls, with Water Crest, Amelia Lake, Jasmine Court and Rosewood between, and three thin or empty sections that need a wider window.

Magnolia Falls (144 homes, 2001, garages)

Median $384,000 on 9 sales, $334,000 to $465,000 (Southwest Florida MLS). The garages and the building age carry the premium.

Water Crest (98 homes, 1994)

Median $362,500 on 4 sales, $295,000 to $415,000 (Southwest Florida MLS), on the community’s east side.

Amelia Lake (104 homes, 2002)

Median $348,500 on 8 sales, $300,000 to $405,000 (Southwest Florida MLS); the newest section, around lakes.

Jasmine Court (50 homes, 1993)

Median $305,000 on 4 sales, $250,000 to $329,000 (Southwest Florida MLS), with the highest turnover in the community.

Rosewood (144 homes, 1993)

Median $300,000 on 8 sales, $250,000 to $330,000 (Southwest Florida MLS); the largest section and the community’s value entry point.

Falling Waters II, Cascades, Orchid Falls and Magnolia Cove

Falling Waters II has no separate MLS name; three sales filed under the community name posted a $290,000 median. Cascades sold at $300,000 and $318,000, Orchid Falls at $265,000 and $365,000, and Magnolia Cove not at all (Southwest Florida MLS). For these, we widen the window and use the nearest comparable section.

What Have Falling Waters Homes Sold For Recently?

Falling Waters condos sold for $250,000 to $465,000 in the 12 months to August 11, 2026: 40 closings, $13,517,500 in volume, a $332,000 median, with the high in Magnolia Falls in June 2026 and two lows of $250,000, one in Rosewood and one in Jasmine Court, both in spring 2026.

What the Sales Tell an Owner

As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we read two things in them. First, the section, not the quarter, explains most of the price spread: Magnolia Falls sales sat at the top in every quarter they appeared. Second, Falling Waters is a seasonal market, with 28 of 40 closings in January to June. An owner who wants the strongest price lists for that window.

How Long Do Falling Waters Homes Take to Sell, and How Close to Asking?

Falling Waters condos sold at a median 54 days on market (39 sales reporting DOM) and a 94.8 percent median sale-to-list ratio. By section, Amelia Lake took a median 44 days at 94.8 percent, Magnolia Falls 81 days at 95.7 percent and Rosewood 91 days at 94.3 percent.

What the Speed Numbers Mean for Pricing

When the days on market and sale-to-list ratios arrive, a section that sells fast close to asking supports a firmer list price; a section where listings sit and close well below asking tells us to price to the last sale, not the last list.

Supply in Your Section, the Owner’s Yardstick

Active listings in your own section are the yardstick that matters most. In a 26-home section like Magnolia Cove, one competing listing is a crowd; in Rosewood or Magnolia Falls, a buyer may see several. On October 22, 2026, 10 Falling Waters condos were active: 3 each in Cascades and Magnolia Falls and 1 each in Amelia Lake, Falling Waters, Jasmine Court and Rosewood, 3.0 months of supply.

How Have Falling Waters Home Values Changed?

Falling Waters values over the last 12 months moved with the season more than with a trend: quarterly medians ran from $290,000 in late 2025 to $350,000 in early 2026, but each quarter mixed different sections, so the change reflects which condos sold as much as what the market did.

Why the Falling Waters Median Moved

The fourth quarter of 2025 had only six sales, none in Magnolia Falls, and a $290,000 median; the first quarter of 2026 had 13, including Magnolia Falls’ $439,000 sale, and a $350,000 median (Southwest Florida MLS). That is a mix effect.

What It Means for Your Own Falling Waters Home

Compare your condo with the last sales in your own section, not with the quarterly median. If your section had no sale recently, we look back further and adjust for time.

How Do Falling Waters Values Compare With Nearby Naples Communities?

Falling Waters values sit close to nearby Berkshire Lakes: Falling Waters’ 40 condominium sales posted a $332,000 median in the 12 months to August 2026, and Berkshire Lakes’ 108 sales a $320,000 median over a similar window, with its attached homes at $295,000. Falling Waters’ Zone X flood maps and gate are its value supports.

Berkshire Lakes, attachedcondos, villas, coach homes73$295,000Oct 13, 2025 to Oct 13, 2026

Sources: Southwest Florida MLS; Berkshire Lakes figures from our Berkshire Lakes page. The windows differ by two months.

What the Comparison Means for a Falling Waters Owner

A buyer cross-shopping Berkshire Lakes’ attached homes sees a lower median there; your pitch is the attended gate, the resort pool and Zone X at every sampled condominium address. Nearby Glen Eagle and Kings Lake draw some of the same buyers.

How Do the Amenities and Davis Boulevard Affect Your Falling Waters Value?

The Falling Waters amenities support value because they come without golf dues or a CDD: a resort pool the association describes as the largest in Southwest Florida, two lighted Har-Tru tennis courts and bocce leagues, paid through the master assessment. Outside the gate, Vitano’s proposed Whole Foods would add a grocery about 0.26 mile away.

What the Pool and Clubhouse Mean for Your Price

Buyers who tour Falling Waters remember the pool. Its waterfall, island and moat (community information sheet) and the clubhouse calendar are part of what a buyer pays for, and units with a pool view, as in the Orchid Falls section, can carry a premium.

What Vitano Means for Your Price

Vitano’s plan includes a 31,995 square foot Whole Foods Market, 86,904 square feet of retail and restaurants, 200 townhomes and 422 apartments, with groundbreaking hoped for in 2027 (Naples Press). A grocery within a mile is a convenience buyers value; the construction period is a temporary cost.

Who Pays for the Amenities

The master association owns and runs them, funded by the master assessment, with credential charges from owners, renters and guests (amenity rates). There is no club to join and no initiation fee.

What Does It Cost to Sell a Falling Waters Home, and What Will Your Buyer Price In?

Selling a Falling Waters condo costs the commission, deed stamps at $0.70 per $100 ($2,324 on the $332,000 median), the estoppel certificate and prorations; your buyer prices in two association fees, credentials, insurance and taxes, and customarily pays the owner’s title policy in Collier County.

What a Collier County Seller Customarily Pays

Deed documentary stamps, the condominium estoppel certificate, prorated assessments and taxes, any open special assessment, and the commission you negotiate (Florida DOR; s. 718.116). There is no CDD payoff.

What Your Buyer Will Carry Every Year

The master and condominium assessments, an HO-6 insurance policy, optional flood coverage in Zone X, credential charges and the Collier tax bill, which resets toward market value after a sale.

Insurance a Buyer Will Quote

The association’s master policy is inside the condominium fee; the buyer quotes an HO-6 policy using the building’s wind-mitigation report. The Florida market has eased, with Citizens expecting its policy count to fall to 385,000 by the end of 2025 (Citizens).

What Does a Falling Waters Seller Owe a Buyer Before Contract?

A Falling Waters seller owes the buyer the condominium resale documents under section 718.503, a written flood disclosure under section 689.302, and disclosure of known facts that materially affect value, such as storm repairs or a pending assessment; the master association’s rules and credential schedule belong in the same file.

The Condominium Resale Documents

The declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, year-end financial information and the question-and-answer sheet, among others, under s. 718.503. The buyer’s short cancellation window runs from receipt.

The Flood Disclosure

s. 689.302 requires it; for Falling Waters, the FEMA finding is Zone X (FEMA NFHL).

Documents We Collect Before We List a Falling Waters Condo

Both associations’ rules, the condominium budget and reserve schedule, recent minutes, the wind-mitigation report, the estoppel request and the master’s credential forms.

What Moves the Number Before You List a Falling Waters Home?

Before you list a Falling Waters condo, three files move the number most: the building’s roof and wind-mitigation file, the unit’s update and furnishing file, and the association’s reserve and assessment file. Each answers a question a buyer would otherwise discount for.

The Roof and Wind File

Roof year, impact windows or shutters and the wind-mitigation report shape the buyer’s insurance quote (Falling Waters FAQ).

The Update and Furnishing File

A list of updates with dates and costs, and an inventory of furnishings if they convey.

The Reserve and Assessment File

The condominium’s budget, reserve schedule and any special assessment, which the estoppel will state anyway; showing it first builds trust.

How Do Location, Schools and Storms Affect Falling Waters Values?

Location supports Falling Waters values: about 11 free-flow minutes to Fifth Avenue South and 8 to I-75, A-rated elementary and middle schools, Seacrest Country Day School next door, and a storm profile of Zone X and evacuation Zone C, inland on Davis Boulevard.

Position and Drive Times

Fifth Avenue South 5.1 road miles, Naples Pier 6.3, I-75 Exit 101 3.1 and RSW 33.6 (OSRM routing, Oct 2026).

Schools by Address

Calusa Park Elementary (A), East Naples Middle (A) and Lely High (B) for 2025 to 2026 (CCPS 2026 Accountability Brief; Seacrest).

Storm History at the Location

Ian’s surge reached 6 to 9 feet above ground in coastal Naples (NHC Ian report); Falling Waters is about four miles inland, in Zone X and evacuation Zone C (Collier evacuation zones).

Frequently Asked Questions: Seller Edition

These are the questions Falling Waters owners ask before they sell, answered from the community’s documents, Florida statutes and the Southwest Florida MLS. A Falling Waters seller’s first job is to separate the section from the community median.

How do I sell my condo in Falling Waters?

Start with a section-level price: compare your condo with the closings in its own section first, then the community. Gather the condominium’s governing documents, budget and the master’s rules, order the estoppel certificate, and confirm your section’s approval process. Then market to seasonal and international buyers as well as local ones. McGreevy and Comisar run every step; Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

What is my Falling Waters condo worth?

In the 12 months to August 11, 2026, Falling Waters closings ran from $250,000 to $465,000 with a $332,000 median, and section medians from $290,000 to $384,000 (Southwest Florida MLS). Your section, floor, view, garage or carport, updates and your building’s reserve and roof position decide where you land. Ask for a free home valuation for a section-level number.

What did Falling Waters condos sell for in the last 12 months?

We tracked 40 sales for $13,517,500: Magnolia Falls 9 at a $384,000 median, Amelia Lake 8 at $348,500, Rosewood 8 at $300,000, Water Crest 4 at $362,500, Jasmine Court 4 at $305,000, three filed under the community name at $290,000, and two each in Cascades ($300,000 and $318,000) and Orchid Falls ($265,000 and $365,000) (Southwest Florida MLS, Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026).

How fast do Falling Waters condos sell?

Median days on market was 54 across 39 sales reporting DOM, from 44 days in Amelia Lake to 91 in Rosewood. The record also shows pace: 40 sales in 12 months, about 5.1 percent of the community, with the busiest months in late winter and spring (Southwest Florida MLS; our arithmetic). A condo priced to its section, with documents ready, sells faster.

What is the best time of year to sell in Falling Waters?

Season. Of the 40 closings in the 12 months to August 11, 2026, more than half closed between January and June (Southwest Florida MLS), the months seasonal buyers are in Naples and can tour. Listing in late fall, with photography done and documents ordered, puts a Falling Waters condo in front of those buyers when they arrive.

Should I sell furnished or unfurnished?

Both sell in Falling Waters, where many buyers are seasonal owners who want to move in or rent out right away. Furnishings can be included in the price or sold separately on a bill of sale; we advise listing the furnishings clearly and leaving lender appraisals out of the furniture value.

Does a garage add value in Falling Waters?

Magnolia Falls, the section whose association states its buildings have garages, posted the highest median at $384,000 (Southwest Florida MLS; Magnolia Falls). A garage also matters because boats, trailers and RVs are allowed only inside a garage (community information sheet). We price the garage premium from paired sales when we value your condo.

Does a lake or pool view add value?

Usually, and in Falling Waters many homes face a lake, a waterfall or the pool; the Orchid Falls homes have “a direct sight line to the pool” (Falling Waters I). The MLS record does not price a view on its own, so we measure the premium from matched listing records when we price your condo.

Do I need association approval to sell?

That depends on your condominium’s declaration, and the nine sections are not identical. We confirm your section’s approval requirement, its forms and its timeline before listing, and we write that timeline into the contract so the closing date holds.

What documents must I give my Falling Waters buyer?

Under Florida’s condominium act, a resale seller gives the buyer the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, the most recent year-end financial information and the frequently asked questions and answers sheet, along with other records the statute lists (s. 718.503). Because Falling Waters also has a master association, we include its rules and credential forms.

How do I order an estoppel certificate for a Falling Waters condo?

Request it from your condominium’s manager; Florida’s s. 718.116 sets what it must state, how fast it must be delivered and the fee caps. Because Falling Waters has a master association as well, we confirm whether the master issues its own statement of amounts owed. We order both at listing.

Who pays documentary stamp tax when I sell?

In a Collier County resale the seller customarily pays the deed documentary stamp tax at $0.70 per $100 of price (Florida DOR). Worked: $1,750 on a $250,000 sale, $2,324 on the $332,000 median and $3,255 on a $465,000 sale (our arithmetic). The contract controls.

Who pays the owner’s title policy in Collier County?

In Collier County the buyer customarily pays for the owner’s title policy, and the seller does not. The contract controls, so we confirm the title provisions in every Falling Waters offer before you accept it.

What does it cost to sell a condo in Falling Waters?

The listing commission, the deed documentary stamps, the estoppel certificate, prorated taxes and association assessments, any payoff of an open special assessment, and title and settlement charges the contract assigns to the seller. There is no CDD payoff, because Falling Waters has no CDD (Collier CDD layer). Ask us for a net sheet before you list.

How are association assessments prorated at closing?

The closing agent prorates the master and condominium assessments to the closing date using the estoppel certificate, and taxes for the calendar year using the Collier tax roll. Any special assessment due before closing is usually paid by the seller unless the contract says otherwise.

What if my condominium has a special assessment?

Disclose it and price for it. An open or approved special assessment appears on the estoppel certificate, and buyers will ask who pays it. We help you decide whether to pay it at closing, credit the buyer or price around it, and we read your association’s minutes for any assessment under discussion.

Do I have to disclose flood information when I sell?

Florida’s s. 689.302 requires a written flood disclosure on residential sales. For Falling Waters, the disclosure is a strength: every sampled condominium address is FEMA Zone X, unchanged on the preliminary map (FEMA NFHL). Answer the statute’s questions about claims and assistance honestly for your unit.

Is Zone X a selling point for my Falling Waters condo?

Yes. Many Naples condominium buyers tour coastal buildings in AE or VE zones; Falling Waters is Zone X at all 34 sampled condominium addresses and in evacuation Zone C (FEMA NFHL; Collier evacuation zones). No lender flood requirement means lower carrying costs for the buyer, and we say so in the listing.

Can I sell to a buyer who plans to rent the condo?

Yes, within your section’s leasing rules. Investor buyers will ask for the lease minimum, the number of leases allowed each year and the renter credential fees, $160 to $230 per stay (amenity rates). We put those answers in the listing file so the right buyers come forward.

Can I rent my condo while it is listed?

Usually, within your section’s rules, but a tenant in residence limits showings and the condo shows best empty or owner-occupied. If a lease runs past the expected closing, the buyer takes the home subject to it. We set showing rules with the tenant in writing before listing.

How do buyers get through the gate for showings?

The gate is attended from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. (community information sheet). We schedule showings in daylight and give the gatehouse notice so buyers and their agents are admitted without delay.

Can I put a For Sale sign on my Falling Waters condo?

Sign rules are set by your condominium’s rules and the master’s, and they are not published on the public site; most condominium communities restrict signs on the common elements. We confirm your section’s rule before listing and rely on online marketing and the buyer-agent network instead.

Should I renovate before selling?

Targeted work usually pays: paint, lighting and a fresh look in a dated kitchen or bath. Full renovations rarely return their cost before a sale. The section’s median sets the ceiling: a renovated Rosewood condo competes with a $300,000 section median, a Magnolia Falls condo with $384,000 (Southwest Florida MLS). Ask for association approval before any work.

Can I sell my Falling Waters condo by owner?

You can, but the two associations, the documents and the section-level pricing make it harder than it looks, and a mispriced condo sits. A listing with McGreevy and Comisar reaches agents and seasonal buyers across Southwest Florida and beyond, with professional photography and a complete document file from day one.

What happens to my bar codes and proximity cards when I sell?

Credentials belong to the master association and are tied to owners and vehicles; your buyer applies for new ones through the Member Center after closing (owner credential application). Return proximity cards to the office; renters’ cards carry a $5.00 refund when returned.

Will the Vitano project affect my sale price?

Buyers ask about it. Vitano would put a Whole Foods Market and other shops about 0.26 mile from Falling Waters’ edge, with groundbreaking hoped for in 2027 (Naples Press). A full-service grocery nearby is generally an amenity; construction traffic is a temporary trade. We present both honestly.

Do I need to disclose storm damage when selling?

Florida law requires sellers to disclose known facts that materially affect value and are not readily observable. Roof work, water intrusion and insurance claims on your unit or building belong in your disclosure, and your association’s records will show building repairs. Disclosing early prevents a contract from falling apart in inspection.

Will I owe capital gains tax when I sell?

That depends on your basis, your holding period and whether the condo was your primary residence; federal rules allow an exclusion on a primary home for owners who qualify. Florida has no state income tax. Talk to your tax adviser before you list, and give us the closing date that works for your tax year.

Can a Canadian or other foreign owner sell easily?

Yes. Falling Waters has many international owners (Magnolia Falls). A foreign seller’s closing is subject to federal FIRPTA withholding unless an exemption or reduced withholding certificate applies, so start with your tax adviser early. We coordinate remote signing and the closing agent’s requirements.

How much is the documentary stamp tax on a typical Falling Waters sale?

At $0.70 per $100, the $332,000 median sale carries $2,324 in deed stamps, a $300,000 Rosewood median sale $2,100 and a $384,000 Magnolia Falls median sale $2,688 (our arithmetic; Florida DOR). The seller customarily pays deed stamps in Collier County.
