More about Jesse McGreevy, Marc Comisar and our team on the McGreevy and Comisar about page.

McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, value Southport on the Bay homes from the Collier County deed record, sale by sale, and this page answers one question honestly: what is my Southport on the Bay home worth? Our Southport on the Bay guide describes the 100 single-family homes of this neighborhood inside the Barefoot Beach gate, in unincorporated Collier County, with a Bonita Springs mailing address. It is a homeowners association, not a condominium.

This is Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach, not Southport, North Carolina, and Southport Cove is a street inside it, not a separate community. Since October 1, 2024, the county has recorded 14 qualified sales of Southport on the Bay homes at a $3,737,500 median, from $2,175,000 to $7,000,000, and 29 in the last five years. One median hides a wide spread, so this page shows the sales by street, build year and size.

What Is My Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Home Worth in 2026?

A Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach home is worth what the most similar homes on its own street and build year have recorded for recently, adjusted for size, dock, flood position and condition. County records since October 2024 show 14 qualified sales at a $3,737,500 median, from $2,175,000 to $7,000,000.

Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)

What the county record shows, by window

We count back from October 1, 2026 and show four windows. The first window with 10 or more county-qualified sales leads, so the 24-month window leads here: the last 12 months hold only 6 sales, and a median of six is not printed.

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, sale file through August 24, 2026. Qualified means the county coded the sale as an arm’s-length sale usable for valuation. All 29 sales in the five-year window are resales, and none is builder-direct. The county’s file lists 177 qualified sales on these streets since 1984, and by our inference from year built 61 were builder-direct, so we never quote an all-history median. Deeds the county did not count as qualified are a separate series and never enter a median.

What the Southwest Florida MLS shows

Southwest Florida MLS figures for Southport on the Bay, pulled October 3, 2026: 10 closings in the 12 months to that date, 19 in 24 months and 35 in 60 months. For the 12-month window the median sold price is $3,725,000, median days on market is 158.5 and the median sale-to-list ratio is 93.3% of the final list price. Eight homes were listed for sale, none was pending, and months of supply is 9.6.

Key Takeaways

These are the facts a Southport on the Bay owner should know about value in October 2026, each drawn from the Collier County record, an agency or Florida law. Data updated: October 2026.

  • 14 qualified sales, $3,737,500 median in the 24 months since October 2024, from $2,175,000 to $7,000,000, with 29 in five years, per the county record.
  • Build year splits the record. In the five-year window, the 16 sales of homes dated 2016 or later have a $4,502,500 median and the 13 earlier homes $3,100,000.
  • No automated estimate can see this. County base area is not living area, 2023 recorded no qualified sale at all, and 8 deeds over $100,000 in five years were recorded but not qualified.
  • Just value is not a sale price. For the 14 sales of the last 24 months, the 2026 preliminary just value ran from 48.7 to 116.4 percent of the price, with a median of 82.3 percent.
  • Southport Cove is a street, not a separate market. The five-year medians are $3,812,500 on Southport Cv (12 sales) and $3,850,000 on the other three streets (17 sales).
  • Docks and water decide part of the price, and the record cannot see them. The dock owners’ association, the 20-foot county rule and the depth behind the lot are checked at the walk-through.
  • Flood position is per address. Every address we tested is in Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 10 or 11 feet, in Evacuation Zone A, so a buyer’s insurer will ask for your elevation certificate.
  • This is chapter 720, not a condominium. The seller presents the section 720.401 disclosure summary before the buyer signs, and no condominium resale package applies.
  • Collier custom decides your closing costs. The buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy and the seller customarily pays deed stamps at $0.70 per $100, which is $26,162.50 on $3,737,500.

Why Value Your Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Home With McGreevy and Comisar?

Value your Southport on the Bay home with McGreevy and Comisar because we read the deed record sale by sale, know the four streets and the two associations behind them, and say plainly what the county record cannot show. We are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, and we prepare every valuation personally.

What we have tracked first-hand here

We tracked every one of the 29 Southport on the Bay sales in the county’s five-year record, the 177 qualified sales it has recorded on these streets since 1984, and every one of the 112 parcels on the 2026 preliminary roll, with each recording date, price, street, county base area and Official Records book and page. We also read all 8 recorded deeds the county did not count as qualified. A Barefoot Beach specialist works from that record before quoting a number.

Our own Southport on the Bay closing record

McGreevy and Comisar closed no sale at Southport on the Bay through the Southwest Florida MLS in the 60 months to October 3, 2026, on either the listing or the buying side. We do not imply that we sold, listed or represented any sale on this page.

Why Does an Online Estimate Miss Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Values?

An online estimate misses Southport on the Bay values because the neighborhood mixes four streets, build years from 1990 to 2025, bayfront and interior lots, private docks and a flood position that varies by address, while the public data a formula reads is thin: 29 qualified sales in five years and a county base area that is not living area.

Base area is not living area

Price per square foot here uses the county roll’s base area, its own measurement of the largest building on a parcel. It is not the living area a listing would show, and it is not the under-air figure the Restated Declaration uses for its 2,500 square foot minimum. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows living areas of 1,888 to 6,525 square feet on the 35 closings in the 60 months to that date, as entered by the listing agents.

The county’s qualified flag leaves out whole years

The county recorded 8 qualified sales in 2022, none in 2023 and 6 in 2024. Over the same five years it recorded 8 deeds over $100,000 that it did not mark qualified, and its file does not say why any deed was left out. A formula built on qualified sales alone inherits those gaps.

A teardown and rebuild resets the roll but not the lot

The county roll dates 47 of the 100 homes to 2016 or later, and 28 of them to 2022 through 2025. The roll’s year built is today’s value, so a sale of an older house that was later rebuilt shows the newer year, and a formula reading it can mistake a land sale for a house sale.

A formula cannot see the dock, the water or the association

Many homes on the bay side have private docks under a separate dock owners’ association, and the water behind each lot differs. No public file prices a dock, a lift, the depth at low tide or the conservation easement on the shoreline, and none states an association assessment. Those are walk-through facts.

How Do We Value a Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Home?

We value a Southport on the Bay home in four steps: match the street and build year, match the size and lot, read the recorded sale and the county’s just value together, then adjust at the walk-through and test the competition. Each step names the recorded sales we used, so you can check our work against the deed record.

Step one: match the street and build year

The 29 sales of the last five years fall on four streets, 12 on Southport Cv, 11 on Topanga Dr, 4 on San Mateo Dr and 2 on Malibu Cv, and on homes dated from 1995 to 2025. We start with sales on your street, then widen to the neighborhood, and we separate homes dated 2016 or later from older homes, because the record shows that split matters more than any other.

Step two: match the size and the lot

We compare county base area, then check the plat lot, the frontage and whether your lot carries the shoreline conservation easement. The county file carries no lot-level frontage field, so a walk-through and the survey answer what the roll cannot.

Step three: read the sale and the just value together

We read each comparable’s recorded price beside its 2026 preliminary just value, and we never treat the just value as a price. For the 14 sales of the last 24 months, just value ran from 48.7 to 116.4 percent of the recorded price.

Step four: adjust at the walk-through, then test the competition

At the walk-through we adjust for condition, roof, windows, hurricane protection, dock and lifts, elevation certificate and any open permit, then test the result against the homes a buyer could choose instead. The Southwest Florida MLS showed eight Southport on the Bay homes listed for sale and none pending on October 3, 2026, with list prices from $1,995,000 to $4,350,000 and from 10 to 227 days on market. The pull records the list price on that date only, so price changes are read listing by listing when we prepare your valuation.

What Did Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Homes Sell For in the Last Five Years?

Southport on the Bay recorded 29 qualified sales in the five years since October 2021, from $2,175,000 to $7,000,000, a median of $3,850,000. The last 24 months hold 14 of them, at a $3,737,500 median, and every one was a resale. These are county records of qualified sales, not Southwest Florida MLS closings.

Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)

The 24-month window: 14 sales

The 24-month count is even, so its median is the mean of the middle pair. Sorted by price, the 7th sale is $3,625,000 and the 8th is $3,850,000, and their mean is $3,737,500. The 60-month window has 29 sales, so its median is the 15th, $3,850,000.

We tracked every one of the 29 five-year sales, the 14 above and 15 earlier ones from October 2021 to September 2024. Price per square foot divides by the county’s base area, so read it as a county measurement and not as a living-area price. The county file holds no qualified sale in 2023, which the calendar-year count below explains.

The five-year record by calendar year

The 29 qualified sales break down by recording year as 2 in October to December 2021, 8 in 2022, none in 2023, 6 in 2024, 7 in 2025 and 6 in 2026 through August 24. The counts add to 29: 2 plus 8 plus 0 plus 6 plus 7 plus 6. The gap in 2023 is a gap in the qualified record, not proof that nothing sold, because the file lists one not-qualified deed that year.

Deeds the county did not qualify, shown separately

The county file lists 8 improved-home deeds over $100,000 in the last 60 months that it did not mark qualified, with recorded prices from $2,400,000 to $4,100,000. We show them separately with no median, and the file does not say why any deed was left out.

The Southwest Florida MLS figures behind these sales

The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, counts differently from the county: it shows 19 Southport on the Bay closings in the 24 months to that date and 10 in the last 12 months. For those 10, median days on market is 158.5 and the median sale-to-list ratio is 93.3% of the final list price. We do not attach MLS figures one by one to the 14 county sales above, and we do not estimate them from the county record, because the two sources measure different things.

What Is a Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Home Worth by Street, Build Year, Size and Position?

A Southport on the Bay home is worth most where the record shows the same street, a similar build year and a similar size. The 29 five-year sales split by street as 12 on Southport Cv, 11 on Topanga Dr, 4 on San Mateo Dr and 2 on Malibu Cv, and by build year as 16 dated 2016 or later and 13 earlier.

Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)

Street by street

The street is the first split, and it is limited by the number of sales. A median is printed only for the two streets with 10 or more sales in the five-year window, and the two smaller streets show their sales as ranges, because a median of two or four sales is not a market.

All four streets1002,807.5$2,603,340$19,82747 of 100

The home counts add to 100 and the newer-home counts to 47. Malibu Cv has the highest median just value, $4,519,865, on only six homes, and four of them are dated 2016 or later.

Newer homes against older homes

Splitting the 29 five-year sales by the roll’s year built shows how much the build year matters. The 16 sold homes dated 2016 or later have a median of $4,502,500, from $2,675,000 to $7,000,000. The 13 earlier homes have a median of $3,100,000, from $2,175,000 to $4,600,000. Both groups hold 10 or more sales, so both medians are printed, and the median price per square foot of county base area is $1,672 for the newer group and $1,206 for the older.

In the 24-month window alone, 8 sales are of homes dated 2016 or later, from $2,800,000 to $7,000,000, and 6 are of earlier homes, from $2,175,000 to $3,850,000. Fewer than 10 sales sit in each group, so we print ranges and no median. The roll’s year built is today’s value, so a teardown and rebuild shows the new year even if the buyer paid mainly for land, and the county does not say what was paid for land and what for the house. We read the gap as direction, not as a premium a seller should count on.

Size: base area against price

County base area splits the 100 improved homes into 33 under 2,500 square feet, 44 from 2,500 to 3,499 and 23 at 3,500 or more, which adds to 100. The five-year sales fall into the same bands, and the table prints a median only where a band holds 10 or more sales.

County base areaQualified sales, 60 monthsLowestHighestMedian priceMedian per sq ft
Under 2,500 sq ft11$2,175,000$6,500,000$3,300,000$1,349

3,500 sq ft or more4$2,800,000$4,000,000Not printed (fewer than 10 sales; listed below)Not printed

The four sales at 3,500 square feet or more are listed rather than averaged: $4,000,000 for 3,595 and $2,825,000 for 3,632 on Topanga Dr in 2024, $4,000,000 for 3,774 on Southport Cv on March 27, 2026 and $2,800,000 for 4,139 on Topanga Dr on May 15, 2026. The largest homes did not record the highest prices, which suggests base area alone does not set a price here, though four sales are a small sample. The county’s base area is its own measurement, so we do not read the 33 entries under the Restated Declaration’s 2,500 square foot minimum as rule breaks.

What the record cannot split

The record cannot split a home with a permitted dock from one without, a rebuilt home from a renovated one, a current roof from an old one, or a lot with the shoreline conservation easement from one without. That is the work of the walk-through, and why we quote a range with the recorded sales behind it. The Southwest Florida MLS pull of October 3, 2026 carries the final list price, days on market, bedrooms, baths and MLS living area for each closing; docks, rebuilds, roofs and easements are read listing by listing when we prepare a valuation.

Is a Southport Cove Home Worth More Than the Rest of Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach?

A Southport Cove home is not recorded as worth more than the rest of Southport on the Bay. Southport Cove is the street Southport Cv, and its five-year median of $3,812,500 on 12 sales is $37,500 below the median of $3,850,000 on 17 sales for Topanga Dr, San Mateo Dr and Malibu Cv, a gap too small to mean anything.

Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)

The street beside the rest of the neighborhood

We split the county file in two so a reader can see whether the street trades differently. The street is Southport Cv. The rest is Topanga Dr, San Mateo Dr and Malibu Cv. Southport Cove is not a recorded plat and not an association: the 43 parcels addressed on Southport Cv sit across all four Southport on the Bay plats, and by our inference a listing that says Southport Cove is describing a Southport on the Bay home on that street.

Median per sq ft of county base area, 60 months$1,342 (n=12)$1,349 (n=17)
Not-qualified deeds over $100,000, 60 months44

The street’s 60-month median is the mean of the 6th and 7th of its 12 sorted prices, $3,625,000 and $4,000,000, which is $3,812,500. The two groups add back to the whole neighborhood, 12 plus 17 equals 29.

What the split means for an owner

On the recorded numbers the street and the rest of Southport on the Bay trade at nearly the same level, and the $37,500 gap is not meaningful on samples of 12 and 17. We value by street, build year and size, so a Southport Cove label adds or subtracts no premium in our work.

Are Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Values Rising or Falling?

Southport on the Bay values cannot be called rising or falling from the sales record alone, because the homes that sell change from year to year. The county recorded 29 qualified sales in five years, with a $4,375,000 median for 2022 to 2024 and $3,625,000 for 2025 to August 2026, and we draw no trend from them.

The table groups every county-qualified sale on these streets by the period in which it was recorded, back to 2016, so each row holds 10 or more sales. The periods include builder-direct sales, which we infer from timing and show in their own column, and the two latest periods hold only resales.

Period of recordingQualified salesOf which builder-directLowestMedianHighestMedian per sq ft (n)
2016 to 2018103$1,200,000$1,820,000$3,190,000$681 (n=10)

2025 to August 24, 2026130$2,175,000$3,625,000$6,000,000$1,269 (n=13)

The counts add to 56: 10 plus 19 plus 14 plus 13. The medians describe what sold, and what sold changed: in 2016 to 2018 three of the ten sales were builder-direct, and from 2022 every sale is a resale. A higher or lower median in a later period can come from a different mix of homes as easily as from a different price for the same home, so we read the table as a description, not as a forecast.

Repeat resales: what the same home recorded twice

A repeat resale compares one home with itself. The table lists the eight most recent of the 18 pairs the county file holds of consecutive resales where the later sale falls in the last five years, and every figure after the table uses all 18. In 15 pairs the later recorded price is higher and in 3 it is lower, and the median gap between the two sales is 7.2 years. The last column flags the pairs where the roll’s year built is later than the first sale, so the second price includes a house that did not exist at the first.

For the 10 pairs with no rebuild flag, the changes run from minus 9.4 to plus 190.0 percent, with a median of plus 41.8 percent. For the 8 flagged pairs they run from minus 8.6 to plus 265.5 percent, with a median of plus 159.1 percent. Both medians describe these pairs only. The three declines are at 207 San Mateo Dr, 65 Southport Cv and 179 Topanga Dr.

What we do not conclude

We do not conclude that Southport on the Bay values rose or fell in any year, that newer homes carry a fixed premium, or that your home will follow any pair above. We do not use the all-history median, which mixes lots, new homes and resales across four decades. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, adds context: 9.6 months of supply, eight active listings against 10 closings in the 12 months to that date, and for those closings a median of 158.5 days on market and a median sale-to-list ratio of 93.3% of the final list price. One reading is not a trend.

One Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Home’s Public Record

The public record of one home, 207 San Mateo Dr, shows five qualified resales in 21 years, from $1,100,000 in December 2003 to $2,175,000 in February 2025. It is a 2000-built home with 2,227 square feet of county base area, and the page walks through it as a public-record example that is not one of our sales.

Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)

The five recorded sales

We chose 207 San Mateo Dr because it has the longest resale chain among the homes that sold in the last five years, and because the roll dates it to 2000 with no rebuild flag. The county file lists five qualified sales, each a resale, and no not-qualified deed over $100,000 for this address in the last five years. The deeds are public records, and no owner is named.

Reading the record

The arithmetic is a ratio of each price to the one before: $860,000 over $1,100,000 is a fall of 21.8 percent, $1,275,000 over $860,000 a rise of 48.3 percent, $2,400,000 over $1,275,000 a rise of 88.2 percent and $2,175,000 over $2,400,000 a fall of 9.4 percent. From the first sale to the last, $2,175,000 over $1,100,000 is a rise of 97.7 percent over 21.1 years.

The 2026 preliminary roll puts the just value of this home at $1,618,607, which is 74.4 percent of the February 2025 price and shows how the roll can sit below a recorded sale. We would price this home from the nearest like homes of the same era, size and street, not from its own chain.

What one chain does and does not show

One chain shows what buyers paid for one house on four dates, and the 2011 price shows that a single address can fall for years. It does not show why a buyer paid a price, the home’s condition, its dock, roof or windows, and it cannot be projected. The Southwest Florida MLS pull of October 3, 2026 carries the final list price, days on market and MLS living area for each Southport on the Bay closing in the 60 months to that date; price changes and renovation remarks are read listing by listing when we prepare a valuation.

What Moves a Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Home’s Value Up or Down?

Six things move a Southport on the Bay home’s value most: the street and build year, the water and dock, the flood position of the lot, the rules that widen or narrow the buyer pool, the condition of the roof and openings, and the document package. The county record measures the first and last imperfectly and the rest not at all.

Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)

Street and build year

The record shows build year as the largest measurable split, with a five-year median of $4,502,500 for homes dated 2016 or later against $3,100,000 for earlier homes. Street adds little on its own: Southport Cv and the other three streets differ by $37,500 at the median. Read our Southport on the Bay guide for the plats, streets and recorded documents behind each.

Water, dock and depth

Many homes on the bay side have private docks, and the Southport on the Bay Dock Owners’ Association handles docks and slips under the Restated Declaration. What it owns, what it charges and how a slip transfers on a sale are not published. County code section 5.03.06 limits a dock and its moored boat to 20 feet of protrusion on a waterway 100 feet or wider, and the shoreline sits in a recorded conservation easement. No published survey gives depth for the whole waterway, so a buyer with a deep-draft boat checks the dock itself.

Flood position and storm record

Every Southport on the Bay address we tested is in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 10 or 11 feet NAVD88, on FIRM panel 12021C0179J effective February 8, 2024, and in Evacuation Zone A. Flood is per address, never one community-wide zone, so the elevation certificate matters. The U.S. Geological Survey filed a Hurricane Ian high-water mark of 11.76 feet inside the gates, about 1.8 feet above the base flood elevation there. The county’s 50 percent rule triggers current elevation standards for a repair or improvement at 50 percent or more of the structure’s value.

Rules that widen or narrow the buyer pool

The 2019 recorded rules require leases of at least 60 days with no more than three a year, which rules out short stays and favors owner-users and seasonal-lease buyers. The Restated Declaration permits dogs and cats and sets a 2,500 square foot minimum under air with a two-car garage. The covenants were revived in 2021 under Part III of chapter 720, so the 1999 declaration and the 2021 certificate are read together. The county record is too thin to measure how much the 60-day rule moves a price.

Roof, openings and the document package

A buyer’s insurer and lender will ask about roof age, wind-mitigation features, the elevation certificate, the dock permit and any open permit, and our Southport on the Bay seller page lists what to gather before you list.

How Do Fees, Reserves, Assessments and Insurance Affect a Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Home’s Value?

Fees, assessments and insurance affect a Southport on the Bay home’s value because a buyer prices the annual carrying cost, yet no dollar assessment appears in any primary document we read. The only published layer is county property tax, a median 2026 preliminary bill of $19,827 on the 100 improved homes, so every other figure comes from the estoppel certificate and the budget.

Reserves and the condominium statutes

Southport on the Bay is a homeowners association governed by chapter 720, so the milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study requirements of sections 553.899 and 718.112, which apply to condominium and cooperative buildings, do not apply to these detached homes. Whether either association keeps reserves is not stated in the recorded documents we read, and the budget answers it.

How to get the real numbers

Three documents give the number. The estoppel certificate, which Florida Statute 720.30851 requires within 10 business days of a written request, states the regular assessment, what it is paid through and any special assessment, and the statute caps what the association may charge for it, with caps adjusted every five years. The disclosure summary under Florida Statute 720.401 has blanks for the current assessment amount, and the budget shows what the money funds. We publish no fee estimate, because any figure we gave would be a guess.

Property tax at the median

The 2026 preliminary millage is 9.4020 mills, the sum of county 3.9293, school 4.1470 and other 1.3257, with no municipal levy. The median just value of $2,603,340 times 9.4020 mills is $24,477, an illustration before exemptions and non-ad valorem charges. The median actual bill is $19,827, the homestead median $16,255 and the non-homestead median $25,246, so exemptions and assessment limits change the result.

Insurance

We found no published premium for Southport on the Bay and do not estimate one. Every address we tested is in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area and Evacuation Zone A, and Florida Statute 627.351 requires flood coverage on Citizens Property Insurance policies inside one. An agent’s quote for your address is the only source for a premium.

Is the Property Appraiser’s Just Value for a Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Home the Same as Market Value?

No. The Property Appraiser’s just value for a Southport on the Bay home is the county’s valuation for tax purposes, not a sale price and not an appraisal. For the 14 sales recorded in the last 24 months, the 2026 preliminary just value ran from 48.7 to 116.4 percent of the recorded price, with a median of 82.3 percent.

Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)

Just value against price

The table sets each of the 14 qualified sales in the leading window beside its 2026 preliminary just value. The roll is preliminary and can lag a rebuild, so a low share often marks a home that changed after the roll was set, and a share above 100 percent marks a home that sold below its roll figure.

Jun 25, 2026179 Topanga Dr$4,525,000$4,460,25498.6 percent

Six of the 14 shares are below 80 percent and one, at 199 Topanga Dr, is above 100 percent. We say just value, never a market figure, for the county’s number. The median just value of all 100 improved homes is $2,603,340, a different group from the 14 that sold.

Why your tax bill is not your value

Florida limits assessment growth for a homesteaded owner, and after a sale it resets the new owner’s assessment to just value as of the next January 1 under Florida Statute 193.155. A seller’s bill is therefore not a forecast of a buyer’s. Homestead covers 61 of the 100 homes on the 2026 roll, which we read as a proxy for full-time residency, so the median bill of $19,827 blends two very different groups. Section 689.261 separately requires a property tax disclosure summary in a residential sale.

Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach vs Bayfront Gardens: How Do the County Records Compare?

Southport on the Bay and Bayfront Gardens are the two bay-side single-family neighborhoods inside the Barefoot Beach gate. Southport on the Bay has 100 improved homes and 29 qualified sales in five years, while Bayfront Gardens has 27 homes and 6 sales, from $3,026,000 to $6,650,000, too few to print a median or to list in a table here.

Which neighborhood has the stronger record to price from

If you own in Southport on the Bay, you can price from 14 sales in 24 months and 29 in five years, and our Southport on the Bay valuation work starts there. If you own in Bayfront Gardens, the record is six sales, and the home valuation for Bayfront Gardens at Barefoot Beach works through them. Read our Bayfront Gardens guide for its two associations.

How to read the table

Southport on the Bay is the largest single-family neighborhood in the table and, with the Club, one of only two places that reach 10 sales in a window under 60 months. For comparison read our guides to the Barefoot Beach Club, the Villas at Barefoot Beach, The Cottages at Barefoot Beach and Barefoot Bay, and our Barefoot Beach community valuation page.

What Will You Net When You Sell a Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Home?

A Southport on the Bay seller at the $3,737,500 median would see about $3,514,456 before mortgage payoff and the association’s estoppel fee with a 2.5 percent listing commission and a 2.5 percent buyer-agent offer, or $3,607,893 with no buyer-agent offer. Collier custom puts the deed stamps on the seller and the owner’s title policy on the buyer.

The arithmetic is plain. At $3,737,500, 2.5 percent is $93,437.50, and $3,737,500 divided by 100 times $0.70 is $26,162.50. The tax proration is 181 divided by 365 of $19,827, which is $9,832. Adding $93,437.50, $93,437.50, $26,162.50, $175 and $9,832 gives $223,044.50, or 5.97 percent of the price, and $3,737,500 minus that is $3,514,455.50. At $4,525,000 the same steps give $267,932 and a net of $4,257,068.

Who pays what in Collier County

In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent, and the seller customarily pays documentary stamp tax on the deed. The contract controls both. Since August 17, 2024 any compensation you offer a buyer’s agent can no longer be posted on the Southwest Florida MLS, and commissions remain fully negotiable. The sheet leaves out your payoff, the estoppel fee, repair credits and the federal tax on any gain.

Want a Free In-Person CMA for Your Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Home?

Yes. An in-person comparative market analysis lets us see the condition, updates, dock and water that no county record shows, and it turns a range into a recommended list price for your Southport on the Bay home with the active competition beside it. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to book it.

What an in-person CMA includes

Jesse McGreevy runs every in-person CMA himself, part of how McGreevy and Comisar have stayed Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008. It includes a walk-through, a review of your roof, windows, dock, permits and association documents, the recorded sales we selected with our adjustments, the competition you would face, a recommended list price and an estimated net sheet.

No obligation, and confidential

A valuation is useful well before a sale, for estate planning, an insurance review, a refinance or a trust or probate decision, and there is no obligation. Request your free Southport on the Bay home valuation or read our guide to selling a Southport on the Bay home.

What Could We Not Verify for This Page?

We could not verify the items below from a recorded or government source, and we say so rather than fill the gap with a guess. Each carries the route to the answer, and the list opens with what we did check first-hand. Data updated: October 2026.

What we read and queried first-hand

We tracked every qualified sale in the tables above, all 112 parcels on the county’s 2026 preliminary roll, the recorded declaration, rules and certificate by book and page, and FEMA’s flood layer and the county’s address, footprint and elevation certificate layers at eleven Southport on the Bay addresses on October 1, 2026. We did not open the elevation certificates or pull Southwest Florida MLS figures.

What we could not verify

  • Southwest Florida MLS figures. The pull of October 3, 2026 shows 10 closings in the 12 months to that date, a median price of $3,725,000, a median of 158.5 days on market, a median sale-to-list ratio of 93.3% of the final list price, eight active listings, 9.6 months of supply and living areas of 1,888 to 6,525 square feet. Our own Southport on the Bay closing record in the 60 months to that date is zero. Docks, condition and price changes still need a listing-by-listing read, which we do when we prepare a valuation.
  • Association and dock association assessments. Not published. Route: the estoppel certificate, budget and rules from the association manager, and the dock owners’ association.
  • Special assessments or capital projects. None found in recorded documents. Route: the estoppel certificate.
  • Dock association assets and slip transfer terms. Not published. Route: the Dock Owners’ Association, in writing.
  • Insurance premiums. Not published. Route: an insurance agent’s quote for the address.
  • Water depth behind each lot. No published survey covers the waterway. Route: a depth survey at the dock.
  • Why the county left a deed out of its qualified sales, and services by address. The county file states no reason, and the gate procedure, trash, water, sewer, gas and internet providers are not confirmed from an approved source.

Frequently Asked Questions, Southport on the Bay at Barefoot Beach Home Value Edition

These answers come from the Collier County deed and tax record, recorded Southport on the Bay documents, federal, state and county agencies and Florida law. County figures lead, and Southwest Florida MLS figures are dated October 3, 2026. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for a range on your own home.

How much is my Southport on the Bay home worth?

It depends on street, build year, size, dock and condition: qualified sales ran from $2,175,000 to $7,000,000 over 24 months, with a median of $3,737,500. We use the nearest like home, not the median. A free valuation from our team gives you the comparables and adjustments.

What is the median sale price in Southport on the Bay?

The median is $3,737,500 for the 14 county-qualified sales in the 24 months since October 2024, the first window with 10 or more sales. The five-year median is $3,850,000 on 29 sales.

How many Southport on the Bay homes sold in the last year?

The county recorded 6 qualified sales since October 1, 2025, at prices from $2,800,000 to $6,000,000, and 29 in five years. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows 10 closings in the 12 months to that date, from $2,600,000 to $6,250,000, and 35 in 60 months. The two sources count differently.

Are Southport on the Bay home values going up or down?

We cannot say from the record. The qualified medians are $4,375,000 for 2022 to 2024 and $3,625,000 for 2025 to August 2026, but the homes that sold differ, and a rebuilt home sells for more than the house it replaced. Read the repeat resales, not a headline.

How many homes are in Southport on the Bay?

The county roll shows 112 parcels: 100 improved homes, 3 vacant lots and 9 lake, common and nominal parcels. The bylaws count 104 doors and the planned unit development allocated 77 units to the tract, and each counts something different. Our Southport on the Bay guide prints all three.

Does a Southport Cove address change my home’s value?

Not on the recorded numbers. Southport Cv has a five-year median of $3,812,500 on 12 sales, and the other three streets $3,850,000 on 17 sales, a gap of $37,500 that is too small to mean anything. We value by street, build year, size and dock, not by a label.

Do newer homes sell for more in Southport on the Bay?

In the five-year record, yes, by a wide margin: the 16 sales of homes dated 2016 or later have a $4,502,500 median and the 13 earlier homes $3,100,000. A rebuild shows the new year, and the record cannot say how much was land.

Is county base area the same as living area?

No. Base area is the county roll’s own measurement of the largest building on a parcel, and it is not the living area on a listing or the under-air figure in the declaration. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows living areas of 1,888 to 6,525 square feet on the 10 closings in the 12 months to that date, as entered by the listing agents.

What is the Property Appraiser’s just value?

Just value is the Collier County Property Appraiser’s valuation of a home for tax purposes. It is not a sale price and not an appraisal. For the 14 sales of the last 24 months, the 2026 preliminary just value ran from 48.7 to 116.4 percent of the recorded price, with a median of 82.3 percent.

Why is my tax bill different from the neighborhood median?

The median 2026 preliminary bill is $19,827, but homestead homes have a median of $16,255 and non-homestead homes $25,246, and 61 of the 100 homes carry a homestead exemption. A buyer’s bill resets to just value after a sale.

Is Southport on the Bay in Bonita Springs or Naples?

Neither city. Southport on the Bay is in unincorporated Collier County, with a Bonita Springs, FL 34134 mailing address, so Collier County rules, taxes and customs apply. Our Bonita Springs guide covers the surrounding market.

Is Southport on the Bay a condominium?

No. Southport on the Bay is 100 single-family homes under a homeowners association governed by chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes. The condominium resale package and the 7-day cancellation clause do not apply to these homes.

What flood zone is Southport on the Bay in?

Every address we tested is in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, Zone AE, with a base flood elevation of 10 or 11 feet NAVD88 on FIRM panel 12021C0179J, effective February 8, 2024. Flood is per address, so request the elevation certificate for your lot.

Do I need flood insurance on a Southport on the Bay home?

Every address we tested is in a special flood hazard area, and Florida Statute 627.351 requires flood coverage on Citizens Property Insurance policies there. No premium is published for this neighborhood, so ask an insurance agent for a quote on your address.

What must I give a buyer when I sell a Southport on the Bay home?

Section 720.401 requires that a prospective buyer be presented the association disclosure summary before executing the contract. Section 689.302 requires a flood disclosure, and a seller must disclose known facts that materially affect value and are not readily observable. The statute does not require delivery of the declaration, rules or budget, but buyers ask for them.

Does the 7-day condominium cancellation right apply to my sale?

No. The 7-day clause belongs to the condominium resale statute, section 718.503, and Southport on the Bay is under chapter 720. Under section 720.401 a buyer may cancel within 3 days after receiving the disclosure summary or before closing, whichever occurs first, only if it was not provided before the buyer signed.

What is an estoppel certificate?

An estoppel certificate is the association’s statement of what you owe, including the regular assessment, what it is paid through and any special assessment. Florida Statute 720.30851 requires the association to issue it within 10 business days of a written request, and caps the fee, with caps adjusted every five years. We publish no fee dollars.

Who pays for title insurance in Collier County?

By Collier County custom the buyer pays for the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent. The contract governs, and we list no owner’s policy as a seller cost.

Who pays the documentary stamp tax on a Southport on the Bay sale?

By Collier County custom the seller pays the documentary stamp tax on the deed, $0.70 per $100 of price under Florida Statute 201.02. That is $26,162.50 on $3,737,500 and $31,675 on $4,525,000. The contract controls.

How much will I net when I sell a Southport on the Bay home?

At the $3,737,500 median, about $3,514,456 before payoff and the estoppel fee with a 2.5 percent listing commission and a 2.5 percent buyer-agent offer, or $3,607,893 with no offer. The commission lines are examples because commissions are negotiated.

Can I rent my Southport on the Bay home?

Yes, with limits. The 2019 recorded rules require a lease of at least 60 days with no more than three a year, and a copy of each lease must reach the board 10 days before possession. That rules out short stays.

What do the association fees cover in Southport on the Bay?

No dollar assessment is published. The Restated Declaration says association expenses include Master Association amounts, and the master association runs the boulevard, the gate and the speed humps. Only the estoppel certificate and budget confirm what the assessment funds.

Does a dock add to my home’s value?

Probably, but we cannot say by how much. The county’s qualified record is too thin to separate homes with and without docks, and no public file prices a dock or lift. Buyers expect a permitted dock with a clear history.

Are pets allowed in Southport on the Bay?

Yes. The Restated Declaration permits dogs and cats, and we found no breed list. Number, weight and leash limits were not in the documents we read, so ask for the full rules.

Is Southport on the Bay gated?

The Barefoot Beach Master Association staffs the boulevard gate under the 2007 turnover agreement at OR 4519 PG 1839. We found no separate neighborhood gate in the recorded documents we read.

Can I rely on an online estimate to price my home?

Not alone. A formula reads 29 qualified sales in five years, a base area that is not living area and a roll year built that shows a rebuild as new, and it cannot see your dock, water, roof or flood position. Ask for recorded sales on your street.

How does a rebuild change my home’s value?

A rebuild can change it a great deal. Among the 18 repeat resales, the 8 homes whose roll year built is later than their first sale changed by a median of plus 159.1 percent, against plus 41.8 percent for the 10 without a rebuild flag. Both are small samples.

What did the 2021 revitalization change for an owner?

The Certificate of Revitalization, recorded December 7, 2021 at OR 6052 PG 1658, revived the covenants under Part III of chapter 720, and a revived declaration binds every parcel. A buyer’s attorney will read it with the 1999 Restated Declaration.

Should I sell my Southport on the Bay home now?

We cannot predict a market. The county recorded 14 sales in 24 months, so buyers do transact here, and the next owner to sell should call us first. Whether now is right depends on your goals, your payoff and your next home, and a free valuation and net sheet are the place to start.

Will you value my home if I am not ready to sell?

Yes. Many owners ask for a value for estate planning, an insurance review, a refinance or a trust or probate decision, and there is no obligation. Request a free Southport on the Bay home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Where can I read the recorded Southport on the Bay documents?

The Collier County Clerk’s official records site holds the Restated Declaration at OR 2594 PG 259, the 2019 rules at OR 5640 PG 3564 and the Certificate of Revitalization at OR 6052 PG 1658. They are public and free.

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

A Barefoot Beach specialist matters when you value your Southport on the Bay home because the gated community holds eight neighborhoods with very different records, and a Southport home is priced from its own street, build year and dock, not from a ZIP code. A specialist reads the documents, flood layers and roll before quoting a range.

McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, read what the other side will read. A buyer’s agent, lender and insurer will read your estoppel certificate, your lot’s flood zone and the county roll, and a seller who has read them first sets a price that survives the contract period.
