Naples Real Estate at a Glance
Collier County’s overall median closed price reached $590,000 in July 2026, according to the Naples Area Board of REALTORS. Citywide, Redfin data puts the median sale price closer to $1.2 million, down 5.7% from a year earlier, since Naples proper includes more luxury and waterfront listings than the county overall. Gated communities usually sit above that median, with entry prices starting near $400,000 and climbing past $10 million in beachfront estates. Florida Listing Experts track these trends daily to help buyers time a gated community purchase.
