Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-12, 5 recorded sales closed at a median of $750,000, $367 per square foot, a median 34 days on market, sellers accepting 97% of original asking (+0% versus the prior year). At the median price and Lee County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.97 mills, annual property tax runs about $11,980 ($11,310 with the full homestead exemption).
Laurel Meadow is a small, tightly built pocket of 69 homes, all dating to a narrow construction window between 1998 and 2001. That consistency in age and construction era is a big part of what's driving the current median price of $750,000 and a median price per square foot of $366.65 — buyers are largely comparing similar-vintage homes with similar-sized floor plans, since the median living area runs a spacious 3,738 square feet.
With a median of 34 days on market and a market heat score of 56, this is a steady, unhurried market rather than a fast-moving one. Year-over-year price movement is flat at 0.0%, which tells sellers not to expect a quick pop in list price and tells buyers there's little urgency to overbid — condition and layout will matter more here than timing the market.

Who Laurel Meadow is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a larger living space, around the 3,700+ square foot range, in a single architectural era.
- Buyers comfortable transacting in a low-volume market where patience and careful comp review matter more than speed.
- Buyers who don't need built-in community amenities and are focused on the home itself.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a resort-style or amenity-rich community, since none are currently identified here.
- Buyers hoping to time a fast-appreciating market, given the flat year-over-year price trend.
- Buyers who want a wide selection of home ages or architectural styles to choose from.

The Laurel Meadow buying strategy.
If we were buying in Laurel Meadow today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Laurel Meadow.
One Era, One Footprint
With only 69 homes and a build window confined to 1998 through 2001 (median year built 1999), Laurel Meadow doesn't offer the layout diversity you'd find in a community built out over multiple decades. What you get instead is a fairly predictable product: large living areas, a median of 3,738 square feet, and pricing that clusters tightly around the $750,000 median rather than spanning a wide range of home sizes.
A homestead share of 55.1% suggests a meaningful portion of the community's owners have filed for homestead exemption, though with only five closings in the current window, any single sale can move the reported median more than it would in a larger, high-volume neighborhood. That's worth keeping in mind when reading month-to-month price signals here — treat the numbers directionally, not as a precise index.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Laurel Meadow. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
