The Lee County Property Appraiser recorded seven qualified Cavendish sales in the 12 months from September 2025 through August 2026, all between $180,000 and $225,000, and 11 over 24 months at a $200,000 median.

Recent Waterford-Cavendish Court track record (last 12 months, September 2025 through August 2026): 7 Cavendish condos recorded qualified sales with the Lee County Property Appraiser · $1.37 million in Cavendish dollar volume · highest-priced sale $225,000, a ground-floor three-bedroom end unit in lake-view Building 24, recorded March 2026 · 24-month median $200,000 across 11 sales.

Our Waterford-Cavendish Court File

We pulled the Lee County Property Appraiser cost card for all 72 units, matched every qualified sale on those parcels to its unit, read the club’s fee schedules, Purchaser’s Packet and master declaration, and pulled every City permit on Cavendish Court back to the 2008 re-roof. That is why the numbers on this page are split by plan, floor and building.

What Makes Selling a Waterford-Cavendish Court Condo Different?

Selling a Waterford-Cavendish Court condo differs from selling elsewhere in Worthington in four ways: a 72-unit market where one listing can reset the street, the highest neighborhood dues of all nine Worthington associations, 2008 tile roofs a buyer’s insurer will ask about, and a club paperwork trail that starts before the listing goes live.

A small market with a narrow band

Cavendish is the smallest of Worthington’s three Waterford associations: Waterford VI and Waterford VII, 36 units each, in six 12-unit buildings at 28060 to 28080 Cavendish Court, built in 1994 and 1995. The last seven sales spanned only $45,000, from $180,000 to $225,000, so the details of your unit decide where you land inside that band,, and one overpriced listing is visible to every buyer.

The dues question

Cavendish’s 2026 neighborhood dues are $1,928 a quarter, $7,712 a year, after a 52.9% increase in 2025, and they sit on top of $13,058 in master dues (2026 HOA Fee Schedule; 2026 Fee Schedule, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). That is the highest neighborhood figure in Worthington. Every Cavendish buyer asks about it, and the seller who answers it first sells.

Roofs from October 2008

City permits 08BOS-TRA01314 through 08BOS-TRA01319 re-roofed all six buildings in tile in October 2008, and 08BOS-TRA01320 did the pool house; we found no later roof permit (City of Bonita Springs permit portal, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). The roofs are association property, so you do not replace yours, but at about 18 years old in a 160 mph wind-design zone they shape your buyer’s HO-6 quote and the reserve questions the buyer’s agent will ask.

A club paperwork trail

Every Cavendish resale needs an HOA Certificate of Approval from Waterford-Cavendish Court, Inc. and a $150 resale application, and a buyer new to Worthington pays a $12,500 capital contribution to the master association at closing (Purchaser’s Packet, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). A listing that is not set up for this trail loses weeks after the contract is signed.

Key Takeaways for a Waterford-Cavendish Court Seller

A Waterford-Cavendish Court seller needs seven facts before choosing a list price, and each is sourced in the sections below.

  • Seven recorded sales, $1.37 million, $180,000 to $225,000 in the 12 months through August 2026, too few for a median, so we list them; the 24-month median is $200,000 across 11 sales.
  • Plan, floor and view set your price. The four plans run from 1,076 to 1,312 square feet, and the county values the upstairs three-bedroom end units about $56,000 above the ground-floor two-bedroom interiors.
  • Prices sit below the 2022 to 2023 peak. The nine 2023 sales ran from $285,000 to $385,000; the last seven ran from $180,000 to $225,000.
  • The dues are the first objection. $7,712 a year in 2026, the highest in Worthington, and $20,770 a year with master dues.
  • The two-story buildings are a selling point. Florida’s milestone inspection and SIRS laws apply only to buildings of three or more habitable stories.
  • The season sells. Eight of the 11 Cavendish sales in the last 24 months recorded between October and May.
  • Your disclosure package is the condominium one. A Cavendish resale runs under Chapter 718, not the Chapter 720 homeowners’ association summary.

Is Now a Good Time to Sell a Waterford-Cavendish Court Condo?

Now is a workable time to sell a Waterford-Cavendish Court condo if it is priced against its own plan and view: seven units recorded qualified sales in the 12 months through August 2026, about 10% of the association. Prices are steady inside a $180,000 to $225,000 band but well below the 2022 to 2023 peak.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded qualified sales, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)

What the last 12 months say

The Lee County Property Appraiser recorded seven qualified Cavendish sales from September 2025 through August 2026 for $1,370,000, from $180,000 to $225,000 (LeePA parcel roll; LeePA Last Qualified Sale layer, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). “Qualified” is the appraiser’s test for an arm’s-length sale. Seven is below our ten-sale floor for a median, so the headline figure on this page comes from the 24-month window: $200,000 across 11 sales, about $177 per heated square foot.

A steady band, not a falling one

Read month by month, the last 12 months are flat rather than falling: $190,000 and $180,000 in December 2025, $200,000 in February, $225,000 in March, $180,000 in May, $215,000 in June and $180,000 in July 2026. Four of the seven were golf-view ground-floor two-bedroom interiors, and all four recorded at $180,000 to $190,000. That gives a buyer’s appraiser clean comparables, and gives a better plan, floor or view a visible reason to sit above them.

Should you wait?

Waiting helps only if something about your unit or the association will change. Each year of ownership costs $20,770 in neighborhood and master dues at 2026 rates plus the $1,000 food and beverage minimum, so a seller who waits a year for a price that is $10,000 higher is behind. The season, on the other hand, is predictable: a unit listed by early November meets the first wave of winter buyers.

Thinking of Selling Your Waterford-Cavendish Court Condo This Season?

Cavendish’s seven recorded sales in the last 12 months sit in a $45,000 band, and your plan, floor and view decide where you land in it.

What Have Waterford-Cavendish Court Condos Sold For Over the Last Five Years?

Waterford-Cavendish Court recorded 26 qualified sales over the 60 months from September 2021 through August 2026, at a $282,500 median (the mean of $280,000 and $285,000). The 24-month median is $200,000 and the 36-month median $220,000, which shows how far prices have come back from the 2022 to 2023 peak.

The $69,500 low in the 60-month window is a single September 2021 transfer far below every other sale that year, and we do not use it as a comparable.

The calendar years behind the windows

Cavendish’s 2019 sales had a $130,000 median across 14 sales, and 2021 had a $167,400 median across 12 (the mean of $164,900 and $169,900). Then came the run-up: the four 2022 sales recorded from $225,000 to $375,000, and the nine 2023 sales from $285,000 to $385,000, the top being $385,000 in October 2023. Only one Cavendish sale recorded in 2024, $330,000 in October for an upstairs three-bedroom end unit. The five 2025 sales ran from $162,000 to $280,000, and the five from January through August 2026 from $180,000 to $225,000.

Why Cavendish prices cooled

We treat the pullback as context, not as a proven cause. Three pressures line up with the timing. Florida’s 2022 condominium reforms (SB 4-D analysis) made buyers wary of older condos generally. Cavendish dues stepped up from $5,044 in 2024 to $7,712 in 2025 (2024 HOA dues; 2025 Association Assessments). Insurance for mid-1990s buildings costs more than in 2021. Cavendish having both the highest dues and the lowest recent price per square foot among Worthington’s condos is consistent with carrying cost weighing on price, but no public record proves the link. Even so, the 24-month median is still about 54% above the 2019 median.

How Do Cavendish Sale Prices Compare With the Other Worthington Condos?

Waterford-Cavendish Court compares with Worthington’s other four condo associations on four seller yardsticks: recorded median price, price per square foot, neighborhood dues and roof age. Cavendish has the lowest 24-month median and price per square foot and the highest dues, which is the objection a Cavendish listing must answer before a buyer raises it.

What the benchmark tells a Cavendish seller

Inside the Waterford family the same four floor plans carry dues from $4,860 to $7,712, and price per square foot moves the other way: Worthington Way at $201, Amberley at $181 and Cavendish at $177. A buyer shopping all three will see Cavendish as the cheapest to buy and the dearest to hold. Our listing answers that directly: it shows the $2,852 annual dues gap with Waterford Amberley Court, explains what the Cavendish budget funds, and points to what the buyer gets for it, a 72-unit association with its own pool, pickleball and tennis and a filing record with no gaps. The two Wedgewood associations, Wedgewood-Sherburne and Wedgewood-Fountain, sell a larger carriage home with a garage at about twice the price, so they draw a different buyer and are not your direct competition.

Waterford-Cavendish Court vs Waterford Amberley Court: Which Condo Will Your Buyer Choose?

Waterford-Cavendish Court competes most directly with Waterford Amberley Court, which sells the same four Waterford floor plans with the same pool, pickleball and tennis. Cavendish sellers win on a smaller 72-unit enclave, more golf views and a clean corporate record; Amberley wins on dues $2,852 a year lower and a roof one year newer.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded qualified sales; 2026 HOA Fee Schedule; City permits; Sunbiz, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)

Amberley is the original Waterford phase, 120 units in 11 buildings from 1991 to 1993; Cavendish is the last, 72 units in six buildings from 1994 and 1995. Our Waterford Amberley Court guide covers the other side of this comparison.

How we use this when we list your condo

Buyers who tour a Cavendish unit usually tour an Amberley unit the same week, because the floor plans are identical. We put this comparison in the listing packet and lead with what Amberley cannot offer: a golf view from two-thirds of the units, a cul-de-sac with six buildings rather than eleven, and an association that owns its common elements in its own name. We answer the dues gap in dollars, $28,520 over ten years at 2026 rates, against the lower Cavendish purchase price.

Who should choose which

A buyer who wants a quiet end of Worthington, a golf view and a small association where one vote counts will usually choose Cavendish, and that is the buyer we market your condo to first. A buyer who decides by monthly carrying cost, wants more units to choose from, or prefers the slightly newer roof will usually choose Amberley, and we price your unit so the lower purchase price at Cavendish offsets part of that dues gap. A buyer who needs a garage will choose neither and look at Wedgewood-Fountain next door.

How Do We Price a Waterford-Cavendish Court Condo?

McGreevy and Comisar price a Waterford-Cavendish Court condo from the recorded Cavendish sales in the same plan and floor first, then adjust for view, condition, the season and the dues story. We never price from a portal estimate or the Worthington median, because Cavendish’s four plans and two views trade in a narrow band of their own.

Why we do not just match the Zestimate

Automated portal estimates such as the Zestimate average nearby sales by square foot and ZIP code. Around Cavendish that blends a $200,000 Waterford flat with a $400,000 Wedgewood carriage home on the same street and a $900,000 estate home around the corner. A model cannot see your plan, floor, view or dues. We use recorded prices and show you every comparable.

Step 1: your plan and floor

We start with Cavendish sales of your exact plan, then test the price against Amberley Court and Worthington Way sales of the same plan, adjusted for dues and roof age. The county’s 2025 market values rank the four plans the way buyers do: the 1,076-square-foot ground-floor two-bedroom interior at a $168,286 median, the 1,204-square-foot upstairs two-bedroom at $211,516, the 1,222-square-foot ground-floor three-bedroom end unit at $211,679, and the 1,312-square-foot upstairs three-bedroom end unit at $224,193 (Lee County Property Appraiser cost cards, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). The upstairs units are larger, by 128 square feet in the two-bedroom plan and 90 in the three-bedroom plan, which is why they carry more value.

Step 2: view

Forty-eight units in Buildings 20 to 23 carry the county’s golf-course view code and 24 units in Buildings 24 and 25 carry the lake code. In the last 12 months, the one lake-view ground-floor two-bedroom recorded $215,000 against $180,000 to $190,000 for the same plan in golf-view buildings. Seven sales cannot prove a lake premium, but it is the pattern a buyer will see, and we price for it.

Step 3: condition and updates

With sales from $180,000 to $225,000, the updates that pay are the ones a buyer notices in a 1,076 to 1,312 square-foot flat: flooring, paint, lighting, an updated bath and a clean screened porch. Sixty-seven units have a screened porch and five have an acrylic-enclosed lanai, so an enclosed lanai is a scarce feature worth pricing.

Step 4: the dues and roof file

A Cavendish price is also a carrying-cost argument. We gather the association’s current budget, reserve schedule and roof information before pricing, because a unit backed by a documented roof reserve is worth more to a buyer than the same unit with an unanswered question. Then we give you a price range and the three to five sales that support it, in writing.

How Do We Market a Waterford-Cavendish Court Condo?

McGreevy and Comisar market a Waterford-Cavendish Court condo to bundled-club buyers who want Worthington at its lowest entry price: professional photography, drone footage of the fairway or lake from your porch, a listing packet that answers the dues and roof questions, targeted digital exposure, open houses run to the club’s rules, and our Domain Realty Group buyer database.

Data updated: September 2026 (Worthington Open House Guidelines, rev. 2026, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)

Photography, video and drone

A Cavendish buyer is buying the view from the porch as much as the floor plan. We time photography for the light on your side of the building and pair interior video with drone footage that shows the golf course from Buildings 20 to 23 or the lake from Buildings 24 and 25, plus the association’s pool cabana, pickleball court and tennis court at 28055 Cavendish Court.

A listing packet built for condo buyers

Out-of-state buyers do not know what “bundled” costs, and they do not know that a two-story Florida condo avoids the milestone and SIRS mandates. Our packet lays out the $7,712 neighborhood dues, the $13,058 master dues, the $1,000 food and beverage minimum and the $12,500 capital contribution in plain lines; and adds the Zone X finding, the roof permits and the building-height statutes. Answering those questions before a showing is what turns a tour into an offer.

Open houses, run to the club’s rules

The club allows open houses on Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. only, registered with the administration office by 3:30 p.m. on the Thursday before; each property may display one sign no larger than 2 feet by 2 feet, and none on the golf-course side (Open House Guidelines, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). On open-house weekends the gate hands visitors the open house list and a community map, so a registered Cavendish open house reaches every buyer who comes through the gate that weekend.

Our buyer database and private marketing

As the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate across Southwest Florida, and the buyers from those years are in our database, including seasonal condo buyers who want a furnished Worthington unit for the winter. For owners who want privacy, we can market a Cavendish condo quietly to that database before, or instead of, a public listing, while still following the association’s approval process.

How Do We Negotiate a Waterford-Cavendish Court Contract?

McGreevy and Comisar negotiate every Waterford-Cavendish Court contract ourselves, at partner level; we do not hand offers to an assistant. The Cavendish-specific terms we negotiate are who bears the $12,500 capital contribution, inspection and insurance items on a mid-1990s unit, the association approval timeline, and furniture on seasonal sales.

The capital contribution

The club’s 2026 fee schedule lists the $12,500 capital contribution as due from the new owner, or $1,306 if the buyer already owns in Worthington (2026 Fee Schedule). On a $200,000 condo, $12,500 is more than 6% of the price, so Cavendish buyers ask sellers to share it more often than estate-home buyers do. We treat that request as a price concession and negotiate it as one, so you see the net effect on your proceeds.

Inspection, insurance and the roof

A buyer’s inspector will find something in a 30-year-old unit, and a buyer’s insurer will ask about roof age, opening protection and the wind-mitigation report. Because the roof and structure are the association’s, most of those answers come from the association, not from you. We gather the roof and reserve information before listing and, where the unit warrants it, a four-point inspection of the unit’s electrical, plumbing and air conditioning, so the findings are known and priced in.

The association approval clock

Every Cavendish resale needs the HOA Certificate of Approval from Waterford-Cavendish Court, Inc. and the $150 resale application (Purchaser’s Packet). We write the approval period into the contract timeline, send the buyer’s application the day the contract is signed, and keep the closing agent, the association and the buyer’s lender on the same calendar.

Which Recent Waterford-Cavendish Court Sales Matter Most to Your Price?

The Waterford-Cavendish Court sales that matter most to your price are the most recent qualified sales of your own plan and floor. Below is every Cavendish sale recorded in the last 12 months, September 2025 through August 2026, with its building, plan, view and price from the Lee County Property Appraiser.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded qualified sales, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)

Days on market and sale-to-list ratio come from the Southwest Florida MLS; across its 12 Cavendish closings in the 24 months to 29 Sep 2026, sellers got a median 94.2% of final list price after 103 days. The recorded prices below are complete without them.

The four earlier sales in the 24-month window

The 24-month window adds four sales from before September 2025: 28072 #2212, an upstairs three-bedroom end unit, at $330,000 (October 2024); 28076 #2108, an upstairs two-bedroom, at $275,000 (February 2025); 28076 #2101, a ground-floor three-bedroom end unit, at $280,000 (April 2025); and 28060 #2509, an upstairs two-bedroom, at $162,000 (August 2025). Together the 11 sales total $2,417,000 at a $200,000 median.

How we read these for your unit

Two patterns stand out. First, the ground-floor two-bedroom interior, the entry-level plan, was five of the last seven sales, so it has the deepest comparable set and the least room to stretch. Second, no upstairs three-bedroom end unit has recorded since October 2024, which means the owner of one of the 12 largest units has no recent direct comparable and should expect us to build the price from the county’s plan values, the sister associations and the last Cavendish end-unit sales.

What Does It Cost to Sell a Waterford-Cavendish Court Condo?

Selling a Waterford-Cavendish Court condo costs the brokerage commission you negotiate, Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100 of price, title and closing charges customary in Lee County, the association estoppel fees, prorated dues and any repairs or credits you agree to. The buyer, not you, pays the $12,500 capital contribution unless your contract says otherwise.

Since August 2024, offers of buyer-agent compensation no longer appear in the MLS, and buyers sign a written agreement with their own agent before touring (NAR, The Facts). Whether you contribute to the buyer’s agent is now a negotiated term. We walk you through the choices in writing before you list, and we do not publish a standard rate because there is none.

A worked documentary stamp example

On a Cavendish condo selling at the $200,000 24-month median, documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100 is $1,400. At $180,000, the most common recent price, it is $1,260; at $225,000, the top of the last 12 months, it is $1,575.

What you do not pay

You do not pay the buyer’s capital contribution or $150 resale application.

Buyers reading this can see the other side of the ledger in our Waterford-Cavendish Court buyer’s guide.

What Must a Waterford-Cavendish Court Seller Disclose Under Florida Law?

A Waterford-Cavendish Court seller must disclose known material defects, deliver Florida’s flood disclosure and property tax summary, and give the buyer the condominium documents Section 718.503 requires. Because a Cavendish unit is a Chapter 718 condominium, the Chapter 720 homeowners’ association disclosure summary does not govern the unit itself.

Known defects

Florida law requires a residential seller to disclose facts that materially affect value and are not readily observable to the buyer. In a Cavendish unit the usual subjects are past water intrusion, a leak from an upstairs unit, air-conditioning or water-heater problems and any open unit permit. Write down what you know and let the buyer’s inspector confirm the rest.

The flood disclosure

Since October 1, 2025, a seller of residential property must give the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the contract, stating whether the seller has filed a flood-damage insurance claim or received federal disaster assistance for flood damage (Section 689.302, Florida Statutes, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). The form applies at Cavendish even though the street is in Zone X, so answer it from your own records.

The property tax summary

Florida also requires a property tax disclosure summary telling the buyer not to rely on the seller’s current taxes, because a sale can reset the assessment (Section 689.261, Florida Statutes). A long-held Cavendish unit under the Save Our Homes cap can carry a noticeably lower tax bill than the buyer will pay, and a buyer who learns that late is a buyer who renegotiates.

The Chapter 718 package for the unit

For a condominium resale, Section 718.503 requires the unit owner to give the buyer the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, the association’s most recent year-end financial information and the frequently asked questions document, and the buyer may cancel within 7 days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, after receiving them or before closing, whichever comes first (Section 718.503, Florida Statutes, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). The Cavendish declarations sit in Lee County Official Records Books 2435 and 2496, and every unit’s legal description also cites a later instrument, OR 3243/4202, which a title search will pull. We gather this package before listing so the 7-day clock starts early.

Where Section 720.401 fits, and where it does not

Section 720.401 requires a disclosure summary before a contract for a home in a mandatory homeowners’ association, with a non-waivable cancellation right if it is late (Section 720.401, Florida Statutes). That section does not apply to Chapter 718 condominium associations, so it does not govern the Cavendish unit. Cavendish owners are also members of the Worthington Master Association, a Chapter 720 association, so which master-association documents travel with a Cavendish sale is a question for your closing agent or real estate attorney, and we route it there early rather than guess.

Estoppel certificates

Both Waterford-Cavendish Court, Inc. and the master association will issue estoppel certificates stating what is owed on your unit at closing, and Florida law sets how fast they respond and caps what they charge (Section 718.116; Section 720.30851). We order both as soon as the contract is signed.

None of this section is legal advice; your closing agent or a Florida real estate attorney confirms the documents for your sale, and our Cavendish buyer’s guide gives buyers the same split.

How Do the Two-Story Buildings and SIRS Rules Help Your Cavendish Sale?

The two-story buildings help a Waterford-Cavendish Court sale because Florida’s milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study laws apply only to buildings of three or more habitable stories. Every Cavendish building is two stories, so a buyer wary of older Florida condos can be told, with the statute cited, that neither mandate applies.

The evidence and the law

The county cost card for each of the 72 units gives the floor as 1 or 2, 36 units each, and the improvement type is “Condominium, Low Rise, 1 to 3 Floors” (county parcel record, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). Milestone inspections apply to a building “three habitable stories or more in height” (Section 553.899), and the SIRS applies “for each building on the condominium property that is three habitable stories or higher in height” (Section 718.112). The Division of Condominiums uses the same threshold (DBPR, Condominium Inspections), and HB 913 in 2025 confirmed the rules turn on habitable stories (2025 bill summary).

What still applies

Cavendish must still budget statutory reserves under Section 718.112(2)(f), and because no SIRS is required, owners may vote to waive or reduce them, which is why a buyer will ask whether they have. With 72 units, the association must also post official records on a website or app under Section 718.111(12)(g) (Section 718.111); the club says association documents sit on the Frontsteps owner portal.

How we say it in your listing

We put one plain paragraph near the top of every Cavendish listing: two-story, low-rise buildings; no milestone inspection; no SIRS; statutory reserves and document posting still apply; ask for the reserve schedule.

How Do Flood Zone and Insurance Affect Selling a Waterford-Cavendish Court Condo?

Flood zone helps a Waterford-Cavendish Court seller: the street is in FEMA Zone X on panel 12071C0678F, effective August 28, 2008, outside every Special Flood Hazard Area, and HO-6 unit-owner policies are exempt from the Citizens flood mandate. Insurance questions turn instead on the 2008 roofs, opening protection and the association’s master policy.

Data updated: September 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer; Lee County Property Appraiser; Citizens Property Insurance, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)

How the Zone X finding was tested

A FEMA flood-map query at the east edge of Cavendish Court returned Zone X, “area of minimal flood hazard” (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, retrieved 26 Sep 2026), and a point-in-polygon test of every Worthington parcel found none inside a Special Flood Hazard Area. Lenders do not require flood insurance on a Cavendish unit on the map, and Bonita Springs holds a Community Rating System Class 5, worth 25% off NFIP premiums for owners who buy it anyway (FEMA CRS Eligible Communities, April 2025).

HO-6, the master policy and the Citizens rule

A Cavendish buyer insures the unit with an HO-6 policy covering interior finishes, contents, liability and loss assessments, while the association’s master policy covers the building. Citizens Property Insurance now phases in required flood coverage on its personal residential policies, but confirmed that condominium units insured on a unit-owner form are no longer required to carry it (Citizens; Section 627.351). We ask the association for the master policy’s declarations page.

Storm history and the wind file

Worthington sits in Lee County evacuation Zone C, surge zone 3, and a 160 mph wind-design zone (LeePA Evacuation Zones layer). We found no Ian-era restoration or roof permit on Cavendish Court and no primary report of storm damage there in Irma, Ian, Helene or Milton (NHC Ian report); absence from the record is not proof. A current wind-mitigation report on file with the association helps every buyer’s quote.

What Will Your Buyer Pay to Own a Waterford-Cavendish Court Condo?

Your Waterford-Cavendish Court buyer will pay $7,712 a year in 2026 neighborhood dues plus $13,058 in master dues, $20,770 a year or about $1,731 a month, plus a $1,000 food and beverage minimum, and a one-time $12,500 capital contribution and $150 resale application at purchase.

The reason for the 2025 increase is not published. It could reflect reserves for the 2008 roofs, a higher insurance premium or a capital project, and the 2025 budget and reserve schedule would answer it (The Eagle, Winter 2026).

Answering the dues objection

A buyer who sees $7,712 without context assumes the worst: a problem building, a looming assessment. A buyer who sees the budget, the reserve balance and the roof plan can weigh the dues as savings toward the next roof. That is why we collect the budget, reserve schedule, insurance declarations page and the last two years of board minutes from the owner portal or the HOA office, (239) 495-2278, before we list,.

Which Worthington Rules Affect a Waterford-Cavendish Court Sale?

The Worthington rules that affect a Waterford-Cavendish Court sale are the association’s Certificate of Approval for every buyer, the $150 resale application, the capital contribution, weekend-only open houses and sign limits, the leasing rules an investor buyer inherits, the 25-pound pet limit and the carport storage rules.

Buyer approval

Every resale needs an HOA Certificate of Approval from Waterford-Cavendish Court, Inc., with the $150 resale application (Purchaser’s Packet, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). The club’s public documents do not publish an approval timeline for resales, so we build a cushion into the contract and submit the buyer’s application immediately.

Signs and open houses

For-sale signs are not permitted on the property; open-house signs are allowed only under the club’s guidelines, Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., registered by 3:30 p.m. on the Thursday before, one sign no larger than 2 feet by 2 feet, and none on the golf-course side (Open House Guidelines). For the golf-view units in Buildings 20 to 23, that means the sign goes on the street side of the building.

Leasing rules an investor buyer inherits

Leases must run at least 30 consecutive days except in February and no more than one year; a unit’s club privileges can transfer to tenants at most four times a calendar year; and the rental packet is due at least 30 days before occupancy, followed by an association review of up to 20 days and general manager approval within 7 days (Rental Forms, rev. 6/15/25). Rentals must be furnished (Rules and Regulations, 2025-0828). If your unit is leased, the tenant keeps the club privileges until the lease ends.

Carports and storage

Cavendish units park under carports; club rules say condominium carports “are not considered ‘fully enclosed structures,’” so trucks, boats and trailers may not be kept there (Purchaser’s Packet). Your listing should say so plainly, because a buyer who learns it at the inspection is a buyer who walks.

How Long Does It Take to Sell a Waterford-Cavendish Court Condo?

How long a Waterford-Cavendish Court condo takes to sell depends on its plan, its price and the month it lists. County records do not track days on market, so we take it from the Southwest Florida MLS: a median of 103 days across 12 Cavendish closings in the 24 months from 29 Sep 2024 to 29 Sep 2026, and 116 days for the 8 that closed in the last 12 months. The county does show when Cavendish buyers close: eight of the last 11 sales recorded from October to May.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded qualified sales, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)

The season in the record

Of the 11 qualified Cavendish sales recorded from September 2024 through August 2026, eight recorded between October and May, and the three that did not were June, July and August sales at $215,000, $180,000 and $162,000. A sale that records in February usually went under contract in December or January, which is why we like a Cavendish listing live by early November.

The steps after you accept an offer

A typical Cavendish closing runs through four gates after the contract: the buyer’s 3-day condo document review, the inspection period, the buyer’s financing and appraisal if they are not paying cash, and the association’s Certificate of Approval, followed by estoppel certificates from both associations. We start the approval application and the estoppel requests on day one so they run in parallel with the inspection and financing.

What Should Your Listing Say About Life at Waterford-Cavendish Court?

Your Waterford-Cavendish Court listing should sell two layers of amenities and a location: the full Worthington club with an 18-hole Ron Garl-renovated course, five Har-Tru tennis courts and dining, plus Cavendish’s own pool cabana, pickleball court and tennis court, with I-75 about 0.9 miles from the gate and the beach about 14 minutes away.

The club every Cavendish owner joins

Every Worthington owner is a member of a “member-owned bundled golf community, where every homeowner has golf privileges,” with no equity fee (Worthington CC Membership, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). The par-72 course opened in 1991 on a Gordon G. Lewis design, was redesigned by Chip Powell in 2002 and rebuilt by Ron Garl in 2018, and plays 6,730 yards from the Black tees at a 72.2 rating and 136 slope (GolfPass; FSGA).

What belongs to Cavendish alone

Cavendish is one of four Worthington associations with its own pickleball court for owners, and it also has a local tennis court and a pool cabana at 28055 Cavendish Court, whose paver deck was expanded under a 2017 development order and whose electrical panel was replaced in 2020 (City of Bonita Springs permit portal).

Location and what is coming

Cavendish sits at the east edge of Worthington, about 0.9 miles from I-75 Exit 116; Bonita Beach Park is about 14 minutes away and Southwest Florida International Airport about 28, on free-flow routes (OSRM). Across Bonita Beach Road, Midtown at Bonita broke ground in November 2025 as a 68-acre mixed-use project (WINK News). Our Worthington community guide covers the rest.

A seller story from our files

The first review above is from a condo seller in what the seller called “a tough condo market,” and that is the market a Cavendish owner is selling in today. What works in that market is a price set against the right plan and floor, a listing that answers the dues and roof questions first, and follow-through on the association paperwork. The second review is from an owner who sold a condo without living nearby, which describes many Cavendish sellers, who spend the summer up north.

Why Does a Waterford-Cavendish Court Specialist Matter When You Sell?

A Waterford-Cavendish Court specialist matters because the price, the paperwork and the buyer are all specific to this street: four floor plans with different values, the highest dues in Worthington, 2008 roofs, a Chapter 718 disclosure package and a sister association with the same plans two streets away. A generalist averages those away.

What is my Waterford-Cavendish Court condo worth?

How many Cavendish condos sold in the last 12 months?

Seven, recorded as qualified sales from September 2025 through August 2026 and totaling $1,370,000.

What was the highest recent Cavendish sale?

The highest in the last 12 months was $225,000 for 28064 Cavendish Ct #2401, a ground-floor three-bedroom end unit in lake-view Building 24, in March 2026. The highest in 24 months was $330,000 for an upstairs three-bedroom end unit in October 2024.

What was the peak Cavendish price?

The highest qualified sale in the last five years was $385,000 in October 2023. The nine 2023 sales ran from $285,000 to $385,000.

Are Cavendish prices still falling?

The last 12 months look flat rather than falling, with every sale between $180,000 and $225,000 and no downward drift from December 2025 to July 2026. Prices remain well below the 2023 level and about 54% above the 2019 median.

Why are Cavendish prices lower than in 2023?

Prices across Worthington’s condos fell after 2023, and Amberley shows the same pattern. Likely contributors, offered as context rather than proven cause, are higher insurance costs, buyer caution after Florida’s condo-safety reforms and higher dues.

Do the high dues lower my sale price?

Cavendish has the highest dues and the lowest recent price per square foot of Worthington’s condos, which is consistent with dues weighing on price. No public record proves the link, and a listing that shows what the dues fund can offset it.

Is now a good time to sell at Cavendish?

Now is a good time if your unit is priced against its own plan and view and listed for the season. Eight of the last 11 sales recorded between October and May.

What is the best month to list a Cavendish condo?

Late October or early November is best for most sellers. That puts the unit in front of seasonal buyers before the club’s busiest months.

How long does it take to sell a Cavendish condo?

The Southwest Florida MLS median is 103 days on market, from 12 Cavendish closings in the 24 months to 29 Sep 2026; county records do not track it. After a contract, the timeline runs through the 3-day document review, inspection, financing, the association’s approval and estoppels.

Which Cavendish units sell for the most?

The upstairs three-bedroom end units carry the highest county values, a $224,193 median. The ground-floor two-bedroom interiors carry the lowest, $168,286.

Is a lake view or a golf view worth more at Cavendish?

In the last 12 months, the lake-view ground-floor two-bedroom recorded $215,000 against $180,000 to $190,000 for the same plan in golf-view buildings. Seven sales are too few to prove a premium, but buyers notice it.

What does it cost to sell a Cavendish condo?

Your costs are the negotiated commission, documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100 of price, the owner’s title policy by Lee County custom, estoppel fees and prorations. At $200,000 the deed stamps are $1,400.

Who pays the $12,500 capital contribution?

The club’s 2026 fee schedule lists it as due from the new owner, or $1,306 if the buyer already owns in Worthington. A different split is a negotiated term of your contract.

Does the association have to approve my buyer?

Yes. Every sale needs an HOA Certificate of Approval from Waterford-Cavendish Court, Inc. and the $150 resale application.

What documents must I give a Cavendish buyer?

Under Section 718.503 you provide the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, the latest year-end financial information and the frequently asked questions document. You also give Florida’s flood disclosure and property tax summary.

Does the Section 720.401 disclosure apply to my condo?

Not to the unit. Section 720.401 does not govern Chapter 718 condominium associations.

Do I need a new roof to sell?

No. The roofs belong to the association and were replaced in October 2008. Provide the association’s roof and reserve information so the buyer’s insurer can quote.

Will a buyer’s insurer care about the 2008 roofs?

Yes. In a 160 mph wind-design zone, roof age and the wind-mitigation report drive the HO-6 quote and the buyer’s questions about the master policy.

Does my building need a milestone inspection before I sell?

No. Milestone inspections apply only to buildings of three or more habitable stories, and every Cavendish building is two stories.

Should my listing mention that SIRS does not apply?

Yes. Buyers wary of older Florida condos respond to a clear statement, with the statute cited, that the two-story buildings are outside the SIRS and milestone laws.

Can I hold an open house at Cavendish?

Yes, Saturday or Sunday from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., registered with club administration by 3:30 p.m. the Thursday before, with one sign no larger than 2 by 2 feet and none on the golf side.

Can I sell my Cavendish condo with a tenant in it?

Yes, subject to the lease. The tenant keeps the club privileges until the lease ends, which a buyer who wants the unit this season will ask about.

Can I sell my Cavendish condo furnished?

Yes. Many Cavendish buyers are seasonal, and we value the furniture separately in the contract so it does not complicate the buyer’s appraisal.

Can buyers see my unit without a gate pass?

Visitors register at the staffed main gate, which issues a pass; on open-house weekends the gate hands out the open house list and a community map.

Can I sell to an investor?

Yes. The investor inherits the 30-day minimum lease, the one-year maximum, the furnished-unit rule and the four-transfers-a-year limit, which suits seasonal renters.

Should I update my unit before listing?

Only where the return is clear. With sales from $180,000 to $225,000, paint, lighting, flooring and a clean porch often return more than a full kitchen; we walk the unit and advise.

Does the club membership transfer to my buyer?

Yes. Membership is bundled with ownership, so your buyer becomes a member at closing, with the capital contribution due at purchase.

What will I net from my Cavendish sale?

Your net is the price less commission, deed stamps, title charges, estoppel fees, prorated dues and any agreed credits. Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 for a net sheet built on Cavendish sales.

Why list with McGreevy and Comisar?

We are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 with over $900 million in personal sales, and we price Cavendish by plan, floor, view and dues, not by ZIP code.

How do I get a free Cavendish valuation?
