What is a condo at Silver Sands of Bonita Beach worth? This is McGreevy and Comisar’s valuation guide for the owners of the 24 condominium homes at 26140 Hickory Blvd, a Gulf-side, eight-story building that the county dates to 1982, inside Bonita Beach, the barrier-island strip of Bonita Springs, Florida. It is the Hickory Blvd building, not the Silver Sands condominiums in St. Petersburg, on Longboat Key or in Punta Gorda.

Here is the short answer. In each of the last 12, 24, 36 and 60 months the county recorded the same single qualified sale at Silver Sands: $1,400,000 on February 27, 2026, for an eighth-floor home of 1,743 square feet, or $803.21 per heated square foot. One sale is too few for a median, so we list it and publish none. Since 2009, the years for which the record is complete, the county recorded 17 qualified sales at $645,000 to $1,400,000, and the county’s own value for each of the five homes sold since 2019 runs from 40.6 to 58.1 percent of its sale price. Your home is worth the nearest like sale in this building, adjusted, and not a Bonita Beach average.

Read this guide beside our guide to selling your Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo if you are deciding whether to list, and our guide to buying a Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo if you are also buying. Every figure comes from recorded sales, the county roll, FEMA, the state’s filings and the Southwest Florida MLS, whose figures were pulled October 3, 2026 and sit beside the county record, labelled by source. McGreevy and Comisar have been Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008.

What Is My Silver Sands of Bonita Beach Condo Worth in 2026?

A Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo is worth what the nearest like sale in the building supports, adjusted for floor, size, view, condition, flood-zone status and the state of the association’s documents. The county recorded one qualified sale in the last 60 months, $1,400,000 on February 27, 2026, so we list every sale and state no median.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026)

Every yardstick below carries its window and its number of sales. The county record leads because it counts every recorded, qualified deed, and the newest Silver Sands sale in the county file is dated February 27, 2026.

Southwest Florida MLS, closings, days on market, sale-to-list

0 MLS closings in 60 months

No Silver Sands unit closed through the Southwest Florida MLS in the 60 months to October 3, 2026, and none was listed for sale on that date (pulled October 3, 2026). With zero closings there is no days on market or sale-to-list figure. The MLS and the county count differently.

A median of 51 sales that span 1982 to 2026 would mix dollars from different markets, so we do not publish one.

Key Takeaways

These are the eight facts about Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo values that matter most in October 2026, each drawn from county recorded sales and the roll, FEMA and the state filings, and each explained below.

  • One qualified sale in 60 months. $1,400,000 on February 27, 2026, $803.21 per heated sq ft on 1,743 sq ft, per the county record.
  • Seventeen sales since 2009, 51 in the file since 1982. No window up to 60 months reaches 10 sales, so every sale is listed and no median is published.
  • Prices per foot spread wide. The five sales since August 2019 ran from $542.80 to $803.21 per heated sq ft, across two sizes and four floors.
  • Repeat sales show gains, with limits. Five consecutive resales since 2009 rose 8.4 to 38.5 percent between sales, for individual homes and not an index.
  • The county’s value is a floor. The 2026 just value ran from 40.6 to 58.1 percent of price on the five sales since 2019.
  • The documents are the unknown. No budget, reserve study, milestone summary or rules are public, and each can move a price.
  • Flood is split. FEMA’s map places the footprint partly in Zone VE at 13 feet and mostly in Zone AE at 11 feet, by our overlay.
  • The market is thin. Two homes show a latest sale since Hurricane Ian, so price rests on a few comparables and careful adjustment.

A valuation built from 51 recorded sales and 24 homes

We tracked every one of the 51 qualified Silver Sands of Bonita Beach sales in the county record since 1982, and the latest recorded sale on each of the 24 homes. We read the county roll for each home’s heated area, floor and 2026 just value, the association’s 1998 articles, the state’s records, FEMA’s flood layer and the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hurricane Ian marks. When an owner asks what a 1,612-square-foot home on the fourth floor is worth, the answer starts with that home’s own four recorded sales, not a neighborhood median.

Why Does an Online Estimate Miss Silver Sands of Bonita Beach Condo Values?

An online estimate misses Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo values because the building is too small for a model to learn from: one qualified sale in the last 60 months, 17 since 2009, and a price per square foot that moved from $370.05 to $803.21. A model cannot read the association’s documents either.

A record too thin for a model

Automated estimates need many recent comparable sales. Silver Sands offers one in five years, and the next nearest in time is the February 2021 sale of a fourth-floor home at $1,025,000, which is more than five years old at the index date. A model that fills the gap with nearby buildings is pricing a different building. The county’s own figure, the just value, averaged $534,029 across the 24 homes in the September 2026 roll export, against a recent recorded price of $1,400,000.

Documents a model never reads

A buyer’s lender and insurer read the budget, the reserve study, the milestone inspection summary, the master insurance policy and any special assessment notice. No model sees them. At Silver Sands none of them is public, so a seller who holds them in hand, or a buyer’s agent who asks for them early, has information that no portal estimate carries.

How Do We Value a Silver Sands of Bonita Beach Condo?

We value a Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo in five steps: the home’s own recorded sales, the nearest like sale in the building, the strip as a sense check, adjustments for floor, size, condition, flood and documents, and a range with the arithmetic shown. Where the record is thin, we say so and widen the margin.

Step one: the home’s own record

We start with the county roll, which keeps each parcel’s last four sales with exact dates, and the qualified sales file, which adds every recorded sale from 2009 on. A home that sold in 2016 and 2021 has a measured path of its own, and a home with no sale since 1994 does not.

Step two: the nearest like sale

The nearest like sale is the closest recorded sale of the same size, and then of a nearby floor. With 16 homes of 1,743 square feet and 8 of 1,612, there are seven sales of the larger size and ten of the smaller since 2009. We never compare a 1,612-square-foot home with a 1,743-square-foot sale on price alone.

Step three: the strip as a sense check

The other Bonita Beach condominium buildings tell us where the strip is moving. We use them for direction only, because their homes are smaller and their windows differ.

Step four: adjust for what a buyer pays for

We adjust for floor and view as we see them on the walk-through, condition and updates, flood-zone documentation, roof and window age, parking and the state of the association’s documents. We do not assert which line faces which way from the public record, because the county does not say.

Step five: a range, with the arithmetic shown

The result is a range, not a point, and it carries the sales behind it. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows no Silver Sands closing in the 60 months to that date and zero active and zero pending listings, so it adds no days on market or sale-to-list ratio, and there were no closings in 12 months to measure months of supply against.

A worked example: why scaling the one recent sale by size is not enough

Take the February 2026 sale at $803.21 per heated square foot and apply it to a 1,612-square-foot home: 1,612 times $803.21 is $1,294,775 (rounded). The most recent sale of a 1,612-square-foot home, in February 2021, was $1,025,000, so the scaled figure sits $269,775 above it, 26.3 percent. The scaled figure mixes a 2026 price on a larger home with a smaller home’s size, so it is an upper bound to test, not a value.

What Did Silver Sands of Bonita Beach Condos Sell For in the Last Five Years?

Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condos sold once in the last five years in the county record: $1,400,000 on February 27, 2026, for an eighth-floor home of 1,743 square feet. No window up to 60 months holds 10 sales, so we list every qualified sale and give no median for any window.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026)

Our method widens the window until it holds 10 qualified sales: 12, 24, 36, then 60 months. At Silver Sands each holds the same single sale, so we list it and give no median. The county file was built October 1, 2026.

It is a resale of a three-bedroom, two-bath home. Qualified Department of Revenue sales are a county record, not Southwest Florida MLS closings, and can lag a closing by weeks.

Every recorded sale since 2009

The county roll keeps each unit’s last four sales with exact dates and the state sale files add every recorded sale from 2009 on, so the record is complete from 2009 and partial before it. The table lists all 17 qualified sales from October 2009 to February 2026, which ran from $645,000 to $1,400,000 and from $370.05 to $803.21 per heated square foot. These are our own calculations from county figures, not MLS price-per-foot data.

Eight of the 51 sales, or 15.7 percent, are above $1,000,000, and the first is dated March 2006. The longest quiet stretch in the file is the five years from February 25, 2021 to February 27, 2026, with no qualified sale in between, which is why the 60 month window holds one sale.

Sales the qualified file leaves out

The roll holds more sales than the qualified file does: 66 sales dated May 1982 through February 2026, of which the file keeps 51 and leaves out 15 (12 before 2009, 3 later). The three later transfers are $183,200 in May 2009, $1,050,000 in April 2015 and $109,700 in November 2024, far below the building’s other sales; we do not read that last one as a market price for a whole home. We use none of the 15 in any count of qualified sales.

What the Southwest Florida MLS shows

No Silver Sands unit closed through the Southwest Florida MLS in the 60 months to October 3, 2026, and none was listed for sale on that date (pulled October 3, 2026). The MLS closed-sale count is zero in the 12, 24, 36 and 60 month windows, so there is no MLS median, days on market, sale-to-list ratio or split by floor or line. Active listings are zero, and there were no closings in 12 months to measure months of supply against. We are not estimating MLS figures from the county record, because the two sources measure different things.

What Is a Silver Sands of Bonita Beach Condo Worth by Building, Floor, Size and Plan?

A Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo’s value varies by floor and size, because the building has one address, eight floors, three homes per floor and only two sizes: 1,743 or 1,612 square feet, all three bedrooms and two baths. The county record is too thin to price a floor premium, so we show the sales by group.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026)

One building, one plan type

There is one building, so there is no building or phase to choose. By the county roll, 16 homes are 1,743 square feet, on the South and North lines, and 8 are 1,612 square feet, on the Center line. The arithmetic: 16 times 1,743 plus 8 times 1,612 is 27,888 plus 12,896, or 40,784 square feet, which matches the effective area on the county’s footprint layer.

The larger home has sold at higher prices and at a wider range per foot, because its sales include the building’s high and its low. Seven sales of one size and ten of the other are enough to list, not enough to price a premium.

The seventh and eighth floors hold the building’s highest price and the highest price per foot, and the first to third floors hold its lowest per foot, but the bands mix two sizes and 16 years. The record cannot separate a floor premium from a size effect or a timing effect, and we do not claim one.

What the record cannot split

The public record cannot tell us which homes face the Gulf, which face Hickory Blvd or which see the bay, because the county does not say. It cannot tell us a home’s updates, its parking space or its storage. Two unit legal descriptions mention a numbered parking space, which is the extent of what the roll says about parking. A walk-through supplies those answers, and they are where a seller’s range is made.

Are Silver Sands of Bonita Beach Condo Values Rising or Falling?

Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo prices are higher in the sales since 2019 than in the sales of 2009 to 2016 for both home sizes, but the record holds only one qualified sale in the last five years. It shows a long climb and cannot show a direction for 2026.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026)

Period by period since 2009

The table counts qualified sales by period for the years in which the record is complete. It is a history, not a price signal, and the empty periods are part of the story: six of the 18 calendar years from 2009 to 2026 had no qualified sale, 2017, 2018 and 2022 through 2025.

The direction, and what we can say

For the 1,743-square-foot homes, the four sales of 2010 to 2015 ran from $645,000 to $1,067,000, and the three sales since August 2019 ran from $1,150,000 to $1,400,000. For the 1,612-square-foot homes, the eight sales of 2009 to 2016 ran from $670,000 to $775,000, and the two since 2019 were $875,000 and $1,025,000. Every sale since 2019 sits above every sale of the same size in 2009 to 2016. That is a direction over a decade. With five sales since 2019 and one in the last five years, it is not a reading of the last year, and a buyer or seller should not take a trend from it.

What repeat sales of the same home show

A repeat sale compares a home with itself, which removes size and floor. The table lists each pair of consecutive qualified sales of the same home where both sales are dated 2009 or later, the years for which the record is complete. Homes are labeled by letter, floor and size.

The five pairs rose by 8.4 to 38.5 percent between sales, over intervals of about four to seven years. The file holds 22 more consecutive pairs whose earlier sale is dated before 2009, when the record is partial, so a sale between the two could be missing from the file. Six of them span more than 20 years, five of the six starting with a home’s 1982 or 1983 sale, and rose by 295.4 to 591.4 percent. These are unadjusted county prices for individual homes, not an index.

One Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo, a fourth-floor home of 1,612 square feet, shows four recorded sales on the county roll: $226,000 in April 1993, $645,000 in May 2003, $740,000 in March 2016 and $1,025,000 in February 2021. It has not sold since, and its 2026 county value is $557,191.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026)

The home

It is a three-bedroom, two-bath home of 1,612 square feet on the fourth floor of the building at 26140 Hickory Blvd, in the Center line, built in 1982 per the county. We describe it by floor and size, not by unit.

The 2003 to 2016 leg gained 14.7 percent in about 13 years and the 2016 to 2021 leg gained 38.5 percent in under five. The roll keeps a parcel’s last four sales, so these four are what the roll shows and an earlier sale could exist.

What the record teaches a seller

The home last sold more than five years ago, so a buyer and an appraiser have no recent print for it. They will look to the nearest recent sale, which is the 1,743-square-foot eighth-floor sale at $1,400,000, or the February 2020 sale of a sixth-floor home of the same 1,612 square feet at $875,000. The $875,000 sale, at $542.80 per foot, and the $1,025,000 sale, at $635.86, are both in the county file for the same size, which is why the walk-through, the condition and the documents set where this home lands between them.

Why this chain matters for your valuation

The county’s just value for this home is $557,191, or $345.65 per heated square foot, which is 54.4 percent of its last recorded price. The gap between a county figure and a sale is a reason to use sales, and the next sections explain what else sits between a record and a price.

What Moves a Silver Sands of Bonita Beach Condo’s Value Up or Down?

Six things move a Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo’s value: size and floor, the Gulf-side position and two nearby public beach accesses, the split flood-zone map, the condition of the home, the association’s documents including the milestone inspection and reserve study, and the insurance and assessment cost a buyer inherits. The record measures only the first.

Size, floor and position

The sales above carry the first factor, size and floor, and they show a wide spread: $370.05 to $803.21 per heated square foot since 2009. The county roll places all 24 parcels on the Gulf side of Hickory Blvd on Little Hickory Island. The roll does not say which homes see the Gulf, so a seller’s view claim needs a photograph and a buyer’s view question needs a visit.

Beach access on foot

By our straight-line measurement from the county’s park layer, Access 9 at 26220 Hickory Blvd is about 130 meters south and Little Hickory Island Park, also called Access 10, at 26082 Hickory Blvd is about 140 to 160 meters north. Lee County Parks pages we re-read on October 1, 2026 said the Little Hickory Island Park lot was closed from September 8, 2026, with pedestrian access continuing, and that the county’s other Bonita Beach accesses listed free parking at accesses 2 through 9, which includes Access 9. Those pages change, so check them before you tell a buyer.

The split flood zone and the elevation certificate

FEMA’s flood layer returned Zone VE with a base flood elevation of 13 feet at the map point for the building and at two of the four points we tested around it, and Zone AE at 11 feet at the other two, on panel 12071C0651G effective November 17, 2022. We then laid 4,290 points, 0.4 meter apart, across the county’s building footprint: 709 points, or 16.5 percent, returned VE 13 and 3,581 points, or 83.5 percent, returned AE 11, with the Gulf-side corners in VE. That overlay is our own test of FEMA’s layer against the county’s polygon and not a FEMA determination. Lee County puts the building in evacuation Zone A. A surveyor’s elevation certificate is what a lender and an insurer use, and a seller who has one, particularly for a first-floor home, removes a question.

What Hurricane Ian left on the record

We found no Silver Sands-specific damage report, assessment letter or insurance claim, and we do not assert that the building flooded or did not. The U.S. Geological Survey’s high-water-mark database holds a mark labeled Hickory Island center about 143 meters north-northeast of the building, at 11.7 feet above the NAVD88 datum and 5.23 feet above ground. Two marks at Bay Harbour II, about 256 to 263 meters away, read 11.3 and 12.2 feet. Ground at Silver Sands is about 5.7 feet on the same datum, so 11.7 minus 5.73 is about 5.97 feet of water above bare ground at the nearest mark. That is our arithmetic from neighbors’ marks and not a measurement at Silver Sands.

The City’s rules after damage

The City of Bonita Springs treats the design flood elevation as the base flood elevation plus one foot, which for Silver Sands points to 12 feet in the AE portion and 14 feet in the VE portion. A building that sustains damage costing 50 percent or more of its pre-damage market value must be brought to that elevation. Whether the City made a substantial damage determination for Silver Sands is not published, and the City’s EnerGov portal lets anyone search permits by address, which is where a buyer’s agent will look.

What Do the Milestone Inspection and Reserve Study Mean for a 1982 Condominium’s Value?

A 1982 condominium building of three or more habitable stories owed a milestone inspection before December 31, 2024 and a structural integrity reserve study by December 31, 2025 under Florida law, and the county records eight stories at Silver Sands. No summary or study is public, so we assert no result, and a buyer will price the answer.

The statute and the date logic

Florida Statute 553.899 requires a milestone inspection of a condominium building of three or more habitable stories by December 31 of the year the building reaches 30 years, counted from its certificate of occupancy. A building that reached 30 before July 1, 2022 had to complete its initial inspection before December 31, 2024. The county’s 1982 year built means Silver Sands reached 30 in 2012, so we use that date logic and say that it is the county’s year and not a certificate of occupancy. Florida Statute 718.112 requires a structural integrity reserve study at least every 10 years, and for existing associations by December 31, 2025, with a limited window to December 31, 2026 for an association that completes it together with a milestone inspection. A 2025 law, House Bill 913, moved the deadline from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025.

What the reserve study covers

The study must cover, at a minimum, the roof, the structure, fireproofing and fire protection systems, plumbing, electrical systems, waterproofing and exterior painting, and windows and exterior doors, and the budget must reflect the funding it recommends.

How it reaches a price

A buyer and a lender read the summary and the study, or the statement that none is complete, before closing. A clean result and a funded reserve support a price. A large recommended reserve contribution, or a special assessment to catch up, lowers what a buyer will pay, and with only 24 owners each dollar of work lands on each home at a larger share than in a bigger building. We do not claim Silver Sands has either outcome.

What to ask for before pricing

Ask the manager for the milestone inspection summary, any Phase 1 and Phase 2 report, the reserve study, the current budget’s reserve line and any special assessment the study triggered. Under Florida Statute 718.503 the seller must provide the summary and the study or a statement that none is complete, and contracts signed after December 31, 2024 must carry a conspicuous statement about whether the association is required to have, and has completed, those items.

How Do Fees, Reserves, Assessments and Insurance Affect Silver Sands of Bonita Beach Condo Value?

Fees, reserves, assessments and insurance affect a Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo’s value because a buyer prices the whole monthly and annual cost of owning, not only the price. None of those figures is public for Silver Sands, so the budget and the estoppel certificate are the documents that settle them.

What is public, and what is not

The only recurring cost we can state from a public record is the association’s $96 annual fee to the state, which is 24 units times $4 under Florida Statute 718.501, paid for each year from 2022 through 2026 according to the state’s payment history. The monthly assessment, what it includes, any special assessment and any loan are not published, and we did not use listing text for them, because listing text is typed by a seller’s agent and is not an association document. A buyer receives the budget and the estoppel certificate under Florida Statute 718.503 before the contract becomes final.

How the cost is shared among 24 homes

Assessments are shared by each unit’s percentage of ownership, which the declaration states. The 16 larger homes and the 8 Center-line homes differ by about 7.5 percent in heated area, because 1,612 divided by 1,743 is 0.925, and the declaration may share the cost by size, in equal shares or by some other percentages. The public record does not say which, so confirm each home’s percentage.

Special assessments in a small building

No Silver Sands special assessment notice or loan disclosure was public when we checked on October 1, 2026. With 24 homes, a project lands on each owner at a larger share than in a 60-home or 136-home building: a $1,200,000 repair is $50,000 per home if shared equally over 24 homes and $20,000 over 60. That is arithmetic and not a forecast. Florida Statute 718.116 requires a special assessment notice to state its purpose, and a buyer who becomes owner is liable with the seller for assessments that came due before the transfer.

Insurance and the market behind it

Silver Sands’ wind and flood carriers, limits, deductibles and premiums are not published. The market moved sharply: Florida’s Office of Insurance Regulation data shows the statewide average premium per commercial residential condominium-association policy at $72,570 at the end of June 2022, $147,381 at the end of June 2024 and $135,100 at the end of June 2026, which are our sums from the OIR quarterly data. Citizens’ 2026 rate filing took effect for policies on or after July 1, 2026, with average increases of 7.7 percent for commercial residential multiperil and 14.1 percent for wind-only. Statewide averages say nothing about one association.

The estoppel certificate fee

An estoppel certificate is the association’s written statement of what a home owes, issued within 10 business days of a request under Florida Statute 718.116(8). A seller pays up to $299 for the certificate, up to $119 more for an expedited request and up to $179 more where the account is delinquent, the statute’s $250, $100 and $150 base amounts as adjusted for inflation and published by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation in its estoppel certificate fee schedule. It is where a buyer will see any capital contribution, transfer fee or approval requirement.

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

The Lee County Property Appraiser’s value is not market value: for Silver Sands of Bonita Beach homes sold since August 2019, the 2026 just value ran from 40.6 to 58.1 percent of the recorded sale price. Just value is a tax-roll estimate and a floor for context, and a seller should price from sales.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026)

The gap in numbers

The county’s just values for the 24 homes total $12,816,688 in the September 2026 export, a mean of $534,029 and a median of $538,542, with a low of $431,727 and a high of $606,677. The county’s building-footprint layer carries the same $12,816,688 as the sum of unit values. The next table sets each of the five homes sold since August 2019 against its 2026 just value.

The two eighth-floor homes show the same just value, $568,648, against sale prices of $1,150,000 in 2019 and $1,400,000 in 2026, which is a reminder that the county’s value does not follow the market year by year. Of the 24 homes, ten carry a homestead exemption, which belongs to the owner and does not transfer, and a change of ownership resets a capped assessment to market value, so a buyer should not carry the seller’s tax bill forward.

How to use the county figure

Use the just value to see how the county classifies a home, to compare two homes in the same building and to check that a listing’s size matches the roll’s heated area. Do not price from it, and do not quote it to a buyer as evidence of value. It runs far below recorded prices here, so a buyer who sees it as a tax estimate understands what it is. Ask us for a tax estimate at your price when you are ready to sell.

Silver Sands of Bonita Beach vs Casa Bonita Grande: Which Holds Its Value Better?

Neither Silver Sands of Bonita Beach nor Casa Bonita Grande can be shown to hold its value better on the county record, because each has fewer than 10 qualified sales in 60 months: Silver Sands one, Casa Bonita Grande three. Casa Bonita Grande trades more often and publishes more; Silver Sands has larger homes and a newer building.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026)

Casa Bonita Grande is the strip’s best comparable for an owner who wants to know what a documented Gulf-side building looks like beside an undocumented one. Our Casa Bonita Grande guide reads its declaration and 2024 rules, and an owner there can start with our Casa Bonita Grande home valuation page. Both buildings are shown here on the same yardstick, the last 60 months.

How Do Silver Sands of Bonita Beach Values Compare With the Rest of the Bonita Beach Strip?

Silver Sands of Bonita Beach has too few recent sales for a county median, so this comparison sets its one recent sale beside its nearest neighbors and the associations that reach 10 sales, each under its own window. Only six associations on the strip reach 10 sales, so only six show a median. Treat the comparison as directional.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026)

Silver Sands against the strip, on county recorded sales

The yardstick is the county’s rule: the first of the 12, 24, 36 and 60 month windows that holds 10 or more qualified sales leads, and where none does, the last 60 months is shown with no median. Every figure is copied from our county sales table for the strip, and each row states its own window. The strip has 23 condominium associations, and the table shows 12 of them; Bonita Resort and Club at 26101 Hickory Blvd is a time-share by the county’s own legal name and is not one of the 23.

What the strip table says about Silver Sands

Silver Sands’ one recent sale, $1,400,000, works out to $803.21 per heated square foot. The six associations that reach 10 sales show their own-window medians per heated square foot: $608.61 at Bonita Beach Club (24 months), $568.39 at Seascape (60 months), $412.64 at Bay Harbor Club (24 months), $551.18 at Bonita Beach and Tennis Club (12 months), $463.06 at Bonita Beach Plantation House (60 months) and $510.20 at Dolphin Way of Hickory Point (24 months). One sale is a data point and not a median, so we claim no gap. We note only that the February 2026 sale sits above all six medians, which cover other buildings, other home sizes and other windows.

Home size on the strip

By the county roll, Silver Sands homes are 1,612 or 1,743 square feet, Pelican Pointe’s are 1,643 to 1,890, Casa Bonita Grande’s are 1,030 to 1,496 and Ambassador’s are 1,203 to 1,263, which is why we compare like sizes first. Pelican Pointe, 45 meters north, has one recorded sale in 60 months at $1,375,000, in April 2023, $25,000 below Silver Sands’ February 2026 price for a different building, size and year. See our Pelican Pointe, Ambassador and Hickory Shores guides.

What Will You Net When You Sell?

At the $1,400,000 recorded price, a Silver Sands of Bonita Beach seller would net about $1,308,726 before mortgage payoff if the listing offers buyer-agent compensation, 6.52 percent in costs, or about $1,343,726 without it, 4.02 percent. The estimate leaves out property tax proration, which depends on the tax bill and the closing date.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026; commission, title and closing lines are our estimates)

The sheet is an illustration, not a quote, and it is not a forecast of your price: the only sale in the last 60 months is the February 2026 sale. It assumes a 2.75 percent listing commission, an optional 2.5 percent buyer-agent compensation, Florida deed documentary stamps of $0.70 per $100 and an owner’s title policy at the state’s promulgated rate, which the Lee County seller customarily pays along with choosing the closing agent. The contract controls both, and commissions are negotiable with no standard rate.

The sheet leaves out your mortgage payoff, the property tax proration, repairs or credits negotiated in the inspection period, any assessment the association levies before closing and any tax on a gain. Property tax is paid in arrears, so at a closing before the bill is paid the seller credits the buyer for the seller’s days of ownership, and we show no figure because the tax bill is not in the record we hold. Under IRS Topic 701, a seller who owned and used the home as a main home for two of the last five years can generally exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 on a joint return, and the rules have conditions your tax adviser should confirm.

Want a Free In-Person CMA?

A free in-person comparative market analysis is a walk-through of your Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo and a written value range built from its own recorded sales, the nearest like sale, the strip as a sense check and your flood, roof and association documents. There is no cost, no obligation, and no need to list with us afterwards.

What an in-person CMA includes

We look at the floor and line, the view and the condition, update dates, the roof and windows, and any documents you hold. We then send the recorded sales we used, the adjustments we made and a range, and we say which documents are missing and what they could change.

No obligation, and confidential

A valuation conversation is confidential, and we do not post, advertise or share your home’s details. If you decide to list, our guide to selling a Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo explains how we price, market and negotiate. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Frequently Asked Questions, Silver Sands of Bonita Beach Home Value Edition

These are the questions Silver Sands of Bonita Beach owners ask us most when they want to know what a condo is worth, answered from the county record, FEMA, the U.S. Geological Survey and the state’s filings, with the window and the number of sales beside every figure.

What is my Silver Sands of Bonita Beach condo worth?

It depends on your floor, size, view and condition and on the nearest like sale. The county recorded one qualified sale in the last 60 months, $1,400,000 on February 27, 2026, and 17 since 2009. A free valuation from our team gives you the comparables.

What is the median price of a Silver Sands condo?

We publish none. No window up to 60 months holds 10 qualified sales, so a median would be the single $1,400,000 sale, and a median of all 51 sales since 1982 would blend decades of dollars.

What is the price per square foot at Silver Sands?

The February 2026 sale was $803.21 per heated square foot on 1,743 square feet. Across the 17 sales since 2009 the range is $370.05 to $803.21, and across the five since August 2019 it is $542.80 to $803.21.

When did a Silver Sands condo last sell?

The newest qualified sale in the county file is February 27, 2026, an eighth-floor home at $1,400,000. A $109,700 transfer in November 2024 is coded outside the qualified file, and we do not read it as a market price for a whole home.

How many Silver Sands condos have sold in the last year?

The county shows one qualified sale since October 2025. The Southwest Florida MLS closed-sale count for the 12 months to October 3, 2026 is zero, and it is zero for the 60 months to that date as well (pulled October 3, 2026). The two sources count differently.

Are there Silver Sands condos for sale in Bonita Springs right now?

Active and pending listings are Southwest Florida MLS figures. As of October 3, 2026 there were zero active and zero pending Silver Sands listings. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, or read our guide to buying a Silver Sands condo.

Are Silver Sands condo values going up or down?

Prices after 2019 sit above prices of the same size from 2009 to 2016, so the long direction is up. With one sale in the last five years, the record cannot show whether 2026 is rising, flat or falling.

How much has a Silver Sands condo appreciated?

Five consecutive resales of the same homes since 2009 rose from 8.4 to 38.5 percent between sales, over about four to seven years. Six pairs that start in 1982 or 1983 rose by 295.4 to 591.4 percent over more than 20 years.

Did anyone lose money selling at Silver Sands?

Of the 27 consecutive pairs of qualified sales in the file, one is lower: a third-floor home of 1,612 square feet went from $162,000 in May 1983 to $150,000 in October 1989. None of the five pairs since 2009 shows a loss.

How accurate is an online estimate for a Silver Sands condo?

It is least reliable where sales are few. With one qualified sale in five years, a model has little to learn from, and it cannot read the budget, reserve study or milestone summary.

Is the county’s just value my market value?

No. For the five homes sold since August 2019 the 2026 just value ran from 40.6 to 58.1 percent of the recorded price. Just value is a tax-roll estimate and a floor for context.

Does the split flood zone affect my condo’s value?

It may affect the buyer’s insurance quote and the lender’s review, and we have no MLS data to measure a price effect. FEMA’s layer places part of the footprint in VE 13 and most in AE 11, by our overlay, and a current elevation certificate helps. Florida Statute 689.302 also requires a seller flood disclosure.

How high was the water at Silver Sands in Hurricane Ian?

We found no Silver Sands-specific measurement. The nearest surveyed U.S. Geological Survey mark, about 143 meters north-northeast, read 5.23 feet above ground, and published surge ranges run from 8 to 12 feet up to 12 to 18 feet above ground.

Do the milestone inspection and reserve study affect value?

Yes, because buyers and lenders read them. A building the county dates to 1982 with eight stories owed an inspection by December 31, 2024 and a reserve study by December 31, 2025. No summary or study is public, so we assert no result.

What are the HOA fees at Silver Sands?

Not published. The budget and the estoppel certificate give the figure and what it includes. The only recurring cost we can state is the association’s $96 annual state fee, which is 24 units times $4.

Has Silver Sands levied a special assessment?

We found no public notice of one, which is not proof there has not been one. With 24 homes a $1,200,000 project is $50,000 per home if shared equally, so buyers ask early.

Who pays for the estoppel certificate, and how much can it cost?

In Lee County the seller customarily pays it, and the contract controls. The association may charge up to $299, up to $119 more if expedited and up to $179 more if delinquent, as adjusted for inflation and published by the Florida DBPR.

What documents must a seller give a Silver Sands buyer?

The declaration, articles, bylaws and rules, the budget and financial statement, the milestone inspection summary, the reserve study or a statement that none is complete, and the buyer’s frequently asked questions document, at the seller’s expense under Florida Statute 718.503.

Can a buyer get a loan on a Silver Sands condo?

Often, but a lender reviews the building as well as the buyer. Missing documents, a special assessment, low reserves or an unfinished milestone item can narrow the pool of financed buyers.

Do rental and pet rules affect my condo’s value?

They can, and neither is published for Silver Sands. The articles give the board power over leasing as the declaration provides. A restriction narrows the buyer pool, so read the rules before pricing.

Is a higher floor worth more at Silver Sands?

Probably, but the record cannot prove it. The seventh and eighth floors hold the highest price and price per foot since 2009, but the bands mix sizes and years, so we compare like with like.

Is a 1,743 square foot home worth more per foot than a 1,612?

Since 2009 the larger homes ran from $370.05 to $803.21 per foot and the smaller from $415.63 to $635.86, on seven and ten sales. The sales span 16 years, so we compare the same size and period.

Is Silver Sands’ $1,400,000 sale the highest on Bonita Beach?

No. In their own 60 month windows Hickory Shores shows a $2,000,000 sale, Snook Harbor $1,950,000 and Solenzara $1,500,000, per the county’s recorded sales for each building. Silver Sands’ sale sits above Pelican Pointe’s $1,375,000.

How is Silver Sands different from Pelican Pointe next door?

Pelican Pointe is a separate 10-home condominium about 45 meters north, built in 1983, with one qualified county sale in 60 months, $1,375,000 in April 2023. See our Pelican Pointe guide.

Why do some Silver Sands transfers not count as sales?

For sales dated 2009 or later the county’s qualified file keeps transactions coded 01 or 02, and for earlier sales it uses an older list on which 06 is qualified and 01 is a disqualified deed. Other codes sit outside the file.

Is the county’s recorded price the same as the MLS price?

Not always the same. The county records the deed price on qualified sales, and the MLS records the closed price and days on market, so each can differ for concessions, timing or recording lag.

How long will a Silver Sands condo take to sell?

Days on market is a Southwest Florida MLS figure. No Silver Sands unit closed through the Southwest Florida MLS in the 60 months to October 3, 2026 (pulled October 3, 2026), so the building has no days on market figure. The county shows one qualified sale in each of its 12, 24, 36 and 60 month windows, so the building trades slowly. The county and the MLS count differently.

What is the best time of year to sell a Silver Sands condo?

The Southwest Florida MLS shows no Silver Sands closing in the 60 months to October 3, 2026 (pulled October 3, 2026), so there is no MLS seasonality to show, and we will not guess. Fourteen of the 24 owners list a mailing address outside Florida, so list when your documents are ready.

How much will I net when I sell?

At $1,400,000, about $1,308,726 before payoff with buyer-agent compensation offered, or about $1,343,726 without it, per the net sheet above.

Do I pay the deed tax when I sell?

In Lee County the seller customarily pays Florida’s documentary stamp tax on the deed, 70 cents per $100, and the owner’s title policy, though the contract controls. At $1,400,000 the tax is $9,800.

Do I owe capital gains tax when I sell?

Ask your tax adviser. Under IRS Topic 701 a seller who owned and used the home as a main home for two of the last five years can generally exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 on a joint return.

What happens to my homestead exemption when I sell?

The exemption belongs to you and ends with the sale, and the buyer’s assessment resets to market value. The roll shows ten of the 24 homes homesteaded.

Does beach access change a Silver Sands condo’s value?

It is a selling point. Access 9 is about 130 meters south and Little Hickory Island Park about 140 to 160 meters north, and the county’s lots changed their rules in September 2026. We measure no price premium for it.

How many homes are at Silver Sands?

Twenty-four, per the state’s project record and the county roll, which also carries one common-element parcel that is not a home. There are 16 homes of 1,743 square feet and 8 of 1,612, all with three bedrooms and two baths.

Why Does a Bonita Beach Condo Specialist Matter When You Value Your Home?

A Bonita Beach condo specialist knows which building, floor, home size and recorded sale a condo belongs to, what the estoppel must say, what the flood map means house by house and whether the association’s documents are in order. Buyers pay for that clarity, and a valuation that reflects it holds up through the appraisal.

What a general agent tends to miss

A small condominium can fool an automated estimate in several ways: a home priced off a larger home’s sale, a sale from 2012 treated as today’s market, a county value mistaken for a price, or a flood answer given from a map when the buyer’s insurer wants an elevation certificate. As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we build the valuation so those surprises do not reach the inspection.

The Bonita Beach context we value with

Our Bonita Beach community page covers the barrier-island strip along Hickory Blvd, and our Silver Sands of Bonita Beach guide covers the building, the association’s filings and the storm record. If you own in another building on the strip, start from the Bonita Beach hub, and for city-wide context read our Bonita Springs home valuation guide.

If you are searching for the best agent to value your Silver Sands condo, or asking what your Silver Sands home can sell for, McGreevy and Comisar price from the recorded sales of your own building and the nearest like home. We tracked every one of the 51 Silver Sands of Bonita Beach sales in the county record since 1982.

As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and 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. When you are ready to list, read how we sell Silver Sands condos, and if you are also buying, read our guide to buying a Silver Sands condo.

Silver Sands recorded sales, last 60 months: 1 qualified county sale, $1,400,000 on February 27, 2026 for a 1,743-square-foot eighth-floor home, per Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 October 2026. Southwest Florida MLS closings for Silver Sands: zero in the 60 months to October 3, 2026, so there is no days on market figure, and no unit was listed for sale on that date (pulled October 3, 2026). The county and the MLS count differently. Few Silver Sands homes come up for sale in any year, so if you own one, make us your first call.
