Over the recorded series, Bella Terra’s median sold price moved from $191,750 (2012) to $507,500 (12 months ending 2026-07-29) — +165% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $191,750. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Bella Terra’s median moved +61% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2024 peak of $585,000, the current median stands at -13%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 4 to 157 closings a year (10-yr average 105.1).
What actually trades here: 62% single-family residence, 16% attached, 16% townhouse, 6% condominium, 0% detached, 0% duplex, with a median of 2,255 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $231 in the current window.
Of the 211 recorded Bella Terra closings since 2024, half landed between $410,000 and $625,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $220,000 and the highest $875,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.
| Sold price band | Share of closings | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Under $350,000 | 25 (12%) | |
| $350,000 – $466,667 | 57 (27%) | |
| $466,667 – $583,333 | 51 (24%) | |
| $583,333 – $700,000 | 57 (27%) | |
| None and up | 21 (10%) |
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 ($248 to $244), so square footage alone explains most of the price spread.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 1,055–2,032 sq ft | $248 | $390,000 | $220,000 – $605,000 | 70 |
| Mid-size homes 2,032–2,315 sq ft | $231 | $505,000 | $325,000 – $669,555 | 70 |
| Larger homes 2,315–3,841 sq ft | $244 | $665,000 | $480,000 – $875,000 | 71 |
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-02: 17 active listings (plus 7 pending) asking from $240,000 to $799,900, median $519,500; 2 of 17 have been on the market over 60 days (median 10 days so far); the homes listed or recently sold were built between 2005 and 2012 (median 2007); 23 of 24 listed or recently sold homes report an HOA, median $191/mo; none of the 21 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 21 ft). For a seller this is the competition a buyer will tour alongside your home; for a buyer, the stale share is where negotiating room usually is. See the current Bella Terra listings →
At Bella Terra’s $507,500 median and Lee County’s adopted 15.97 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $8,100 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $7,440 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 Lee County tax page.
Momentum’s market-heat index for Bella Terra reads 23/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 32% of recorded Bella Terra sales in the window ending 2026-07 (31 of 98) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. The table above is the closed-sale record to price a Bella Terra home against; asking prices are an opening position, recorded closings are the value.
