Over the recorded series, The Cays’s median sold price moved from $345,000 (2014) to $1,060,000 (12 months ending 2026-07-29) — +207% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.

The last decade in The Cays, briefly

The recorded series starts in 2014 at $345,000. Against the 2024 peak of $1,437,500, the current median stands at -26%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 6 closings a year (10-yr average 2.7). With roughly 2.7 closings a year, The Cays’s 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 above.

What actually trades here: 100% single-family residence, with a median of 2,089 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $478 in the current window.

Where The Cays sales actually landed, 2024–2026

Of the 14 recorded The Cays closings since 2024, half landed between $972,500 and $1,481,500 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $466,000 and the highest $1,876,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

At The Cays’s $1,060,000 median and Collier County’s adopted 11.05 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $11,720 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $11,280 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 Collier County tax page.

How The Cays compares with its neighbors

Communities buyers shopping The Cays are also weighing (same ZIP), each on its own recorded 12-month closings. A median well above the neighbors is a ceiling to price against; well below is where the value argument lives.
