The last decade in Lely Island Estates, briefly

The recorded series starts in 2014 at $578,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Lely Island Estates’s median moved +94% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2022 peak of $1,325,000, the current median stands at -28%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 21 closings a year (10-yr average 10.4). Small-community medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure in the table above.

What actually trades here: 100% singlefamilyresidence, with a median of 2,686 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $352 in the current window. Price-per-square-foot is the cleaner yardstick when comparing your home to the medians — it corrects for the size mix in any given year.

Selling in Lely Island Estates right now: what the record says

Momentum’s market-heat index for Lely Island Estates reads 32/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).

Cash bought 46% of recorded Lely Island Estates sales in the window ending 2026-07 (5 of 11) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. For buyers, the same table reads the other way: the sold medians above are what the market has actually been paying — an asking price meaningfully above the recent closed record, in a community absorbing at the rates shown, is an opening position, not a value.

The pattern in the statewide failure data applies here too: homes priced against the latest closed sales sell; homes priced against hope join the 201,552 that didn’t. The table above is the closed-sale record to price against.
