BABCOCK RANCH (PUNTA GORDA, FL): 15 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, a 5-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 93.2% of original asking; the median sale took 60 days; new construction was 73.3% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-08-02).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $324,770 | $183 | 60 | 93.2% | 15 |
| 2025 | $326,435 | $184 | 186 | 91.7% | 14 |

Over the recorded series, BABCOCK RANCH’s median sold price moved from $413,800 (2022) to $324,770 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — -22% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
What actually trades here: 51% single-family residence, 36% townhouse, 8% condominium, 3% villa, 2% ?, with a median of 1,708 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $183 in the current window.
Of the 37 recorded BABCOCK RANCH closings since 2024, half landed between $310,997 and $369,770 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $207,500 and the highest $925,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

|---|---|---|
| Under $275,000 | 4 (11%) | |
| $275,000 – $350,000 | 20 (54%) | |
| $350,000 – $425,000 | 6 (16%) | |
| $425,000 – $500,000 | 2 (5%) | |
| None and up | 5 (14%) |
The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Price per square foot is nearly flat across sizes here ($196 to $199), so square footage alone explains most of the price spread.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 1,194–1,648 sq ft | $196 | $301,998 | $207,500 – $353,990 | 12 |
| Mid-size homes 1,648–1,914 sq ft | $185 | $329,940 | $288,420 – $500,000 | 12 |
| Larger homes 1,914–2,472 sq ft | $199 | $420,000 | $316,990 – $925,000 | 13 |

At BABCOCK RANCH’s $324,770 median and Charlotte County’s adopted 16.92 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,490 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,810 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Charlotte County tax page.
Since 2019, 30 BABCOCK RANCH listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (6 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 43% of BABCOCK RANCH listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 67%.
Cash bought 29% of recorded BABCOCK RANCH sales in the window ending 2026-06 (5 of 17) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. The table above is the closed-sale record to price a BABCOCK RANCH home against; asking prices are an opening position, recorded closings are the value.
