Sanctuary is a smaller-footprint community in Bonita Springs, built out between 1990 and 2009, with a median home size of 1,087 square feet. That compact size is doing most of the work on price: the median sits at $221,200, and the median price per square foot of $232.56 reflects a mix of condition and unit type rather than any single standard finish level across the 313 homes here.
The current posture favors patience over urgency. Median days on market is running at 80, market heat scores low at 12, and prices are down 20.9% year over year on a small sample of 16 closings in this window. That combination points to a buyer's market for now, with sellers needing realistic pricing and buyers having room to negotiate on terms and timeline.

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending September 12 of each year, from record-level Florida Gulf Coast MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($228K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($265K) IS the -13.8% one-year change.

The Sanctuary buying strategy.
If we were buying in Sanctuary 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 Sanctuary.
A Softer Market, Smaller Footprint
The numbers here tell a consistent story: smaller units, a wide range of build years (1990 to 2009, median 2001), and a price point that moves largely on square footage and condition rather than amenity packages — current MLS data shows no identified community amenities tied to these listings. That makes Sanctuary a straightforward value play on space and price per square foot, not a lifestyle-amenity purchase.
With only 16 closings in the current window and a homestead share of 39.6%, this is a market with limited liquidity and a meaningful share of non-primary-residence ownership. The 80-day median time on market and a 20.9% year-over-year price pullback both suggest a market still finding its footing — good news for buyers negotiating on price, a signal for sellers to price precisely rather than test the market.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Sanctuary. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this thin — 16 closings in the window, a 12 heat score, and DOM stretching past two and a half months — pricing accurately and reading real comparables matters more than in a fast-moving neighborhood. We track Sanctuary's actual closings, not averages pulled from a wider Bonita Springs dataset, so sellers price to what is truly moving and buyers know when an offer has real leverage.
