What Is a Vineyards Home in Naples Worth? Reading a Sold Table That Stops Short of the Top

Which Vineyards number is the median?

Four figures describe the middle, and they sit within 4% of each other. Realtor.com's median sold price is $700,000 for May, and the market-trends page's median closing price is $700,000 for the year to August 17. Zillow's average home value is $671,454, which is 4.1% below the sold median, a gap this brief computes. The median asking price is $595,000 on Realtor.com in May, $699,000 on the market-trends page in August and $722,000 in the brokerage's active table, a spread of 21%. A median asking price of $595,000 beside a median sold price of $700,000, as Realtor.com shows, means that homes sold for more than the typical home was listed at. That happens when the larger, higher-priced homes sell and the cheaper listings do not, and it is another sign that a median reflects the mix.

The brokerage's sold table gives a different median. Its 50 sales have a median of $987,500 and a mean of $1,151,020, ratios this brief computes from the rows shown. The table is sorted from the highest price down, its lowest sale is $625,000, and 24 of the 50 sales are at $1,000,000 or more. The market-trends page says 145 homes sold in a year at a median of $700,000. If the table showed every sale in six months, it would be about 72 sales on that pace, and its median would be near $700,000. It is not, so the table is probably the top part of the market, which is an inference and not a statement from either page.

The sold table shows how closely prices follow asking prices at the top. Adding up the 50 rows, the sold prices come to 93.5% of the list prices, a figure this brief computes, and only 4 of the 50 sold for exactly their list price. Realtor.com shows a sale-to-list ratio of 96% for May, with homes selling 3.98% below the asking price. A seller at the top of the table took about 6.5% less than the list price on average, which on a $2,000,000 home is $130,000. That is an illustration of scale and not a forecast.

The active table has the same shape from the other side. Its 38 listings run from $280,000 to $3,995,000, with a median list price of $722,000 and a mean of $979,702, which is 1.36 times the median. The median days on market in the active table is 98.5, and the sold table's median is also 98.5 days, which this brief notes as a coincidence of two different samples. Realtor.com shows 105 days.

A seller should read the range, then ask which part of it describes the home. A condominium in one of the coach-home neighborhoods and a custom estate on a golf course are both in the Vineyards, and the brokerage's own report says the community is not one uniform market. It says a luxury residence should be compared first with other estate homes and not with a first-floor condominium simply because both are in the same community.

How long does a Vineyards home take to sell, and what does the supply look like?

Realtor.com shows a median of 105 days on market in May, up 22.09% on the year and up 250% over three years, which is 3.5 times the figure of three years earlier. It shows 111 active listings, up 13.13% on the year and up 194.74% over three years, so the supply has nearly tripled. It calls the market balanced in May, with a sale-to-list ratio of 96%. The market-trends page shows 145 sales in the year to mid-August, which is about 12 a month, and Realtor.com's 111 listings would be about nine months of supply at that pace, a figure this brief derives from two different pages and offers as a rough guide.

The August figure is odd. The market-trends page shows a monthly table for August 2025 and August 2026 in which every figure is not available and the sold count is zero, while the same page shows 145 sales in the last year. A table with no sales in August is either an artifact of the page's data feed or a real lull, and the brokerage's sold table shows a sale on August 10 and one on August 26, so August was not empty. The page's empty monthly table is more likely a gap in its feed, and that is an inference.

The broader Naples data are steadier. The board's August report, as quoted in the market report, shows 350 single-family sales, up 5.1%, with inventory of 1,994 homes, down 17.5%. For all Naples the same report shows 272 condo sales, down 3.5%, with a median closed price of $417,500, up 2.7%, and a year-to-date condo median of $440,000, down 4.3%. The year-to-date single-family median is $765,000, up 4.1%. A Vineyards median of $700,000 is 8.5% below the Naples year-to-date single-family median, and 2.4% below the August single-family median of $717,500, which says the community sits close to the city's middle, and not at its top.

The days on market in the sold table range from 5 to 469 across the 50 rows, with a median of 98.5 and a mean of 121. Nine of the 50 sold within 30 days and 12 took 180 days or more. A sale that took 469 days and one that took 5 are both in the same table, and the first list price of $1,450,000 sold at $1,385,000, while another sold at $1,775,000 on a $1,795,000 list in 119 days. The numbers do not give a pattern a seller can apply, and they show the spread that a median hides.

A public listing makes every one of those days visible. A buyer sees how long a home has been on the market and each price change, and neighbors in a community of 2,700 homes see it too. A seller who would rather not have the clock run in public has a reason to ask about a private sale.

Why is the median rent $5,000 and who rents here?

Realtor.com shows a median rent of $5,000 a month for the community in May, down 23.08% on the year and down 28.57% over three years, on 39 rental properties. The Census shows a median gross rent of $2,073 for the postal area that holds the community, or $24,876 a year. The advertised rent is 2.4 times the Census figure. The first is a median of 39 listings in one golf community, which are probably larger homes and seasonal rentals, and the second is what tenants pay across a postal area with 2,459 rented homes. That reading is an inference, and the page does not say what the 39 listings are.

The tenure data show a postal area of owners. Of 15,033 occupied homes, 12,574 (83.6%) are owner-occupied and 2,459 (16.4%) are rented. Of the 18,592 homes in the postal area, 3,559 (19.1%) are vacant, which in a Naples market includes seasonal homes. The median household income is $113,391. The Census median owner-occupied value is $716,400, which is close to the $717,500 single-family median for all of Naples in August, though the two are different measures.

The postal area is much bigger than the community. The April article says the Vineyards has 39 neighborhoods and over 2,700 homes and condos. That is 14.5% of the 18,592 homes in the postal area, a ratio this brief computes, so six of every seven homes in the Census numbers are somewhere else. The Census figures, then, say something about the area around the community and not much about the community itself. A seller should read them as context.

The Census median household income is $113,391 and the median owner-occupied value is $716,400, with a margin of error of $36,828. Those are figures for 15,033 occupied homes, and the community is a small part of them. The Census value is 2.3% above the Realtor.com sold median of $700,000 for the community and 6.4% below the $765,000 year-to-date single-family median for all of Naples, gaps this brief computes. The three figures cover different homes and periods, and a seller should not read the closeness of any pair as confirmation of either.

The article describes what a buyer would find in the community: two 18-hole championship golf courses, tennis and fitness facilities, a clubhouse of about 70,000 square feet, and optional membership, with named neighborhoods such as coach-home groups and custom-home groups with golf and lake views. Each neighborhood has its own amenities, the article says. For a seller, the membership terms and the association's fees are part of what a buyer asks about, and having them ready shortens the conversation.

What do the active listings say about the competition?

The brokerage's active table is the best view of what a seller would compete with, and it shows a wide field. Of its 38 listings, 13 are priced at $1,000,000 or more and 9 are below $500,000. The cheapest is $280,000 and the dearest $3,995,000, a factor of 14. The median price per square foot among the listings is $339.50, against a median of $376 in the sold table, which fits the reading that the sold table leans toward larger and pricier homes. Half of the active listings, 19 of 38, have been on the market for 100 days or more.

The report says estates in a few named neighborhoods make up the upper single-family market, and that coach homes and condominiums make up much of the rest. It says the right comparison for any home is the exact neighborhood and property type, then the homesite, the view, the floor plan, the roof and systems, the renovation and the association's obligations. A seller who has the answers to that list in writing is in a stronger position than a seller who relies on a community-wide figure.

It also warns that a price reduction on one home should not be applied mechanically to another, and that a longer marketing period at the upper end does not by itself show weakness across the community. Both statements are the report's own, and they are a fair caution for a reader of any median in this brief.

The count of competing homes is therefore smaller than it looks. A seller of an estate competes with a handful of other estates, and a seller of a coach home competes with a different group. The 111 listings on Realtor.com and the 38 in the table both cover every type together. A private sale takes a home out of that comparison altogether, since a buyer who comes through Maison Off-Market is looking at one home and not at a page of alternatives. Readers comparing markets can also read the North Naples brief and the Lighthouse Point brief.

What should an owner ask, and what does a private sale change?

Ask whether a figure covers the community or the postal area around it. Ask whether it covers condominiums, coach homes or estates, and which months. Ask whether a table is a full list or the top of one. A seller who has the answers can read a page, and a seller who does not will find that five pages give a median anywhere from $671,454 to $987,500.

A private sale changes how a home reaches a buyer. With Maison Off-Market there are no showings and no neighbors talking about a sale, the closing date can be flexible so that an owner has time to find a new home, there are no commission costs, there are no closing costs and there are no inspections or repairs. In a gated community of 2,700 homes where the same few buyers tour the same few streets, a quiet sale keeps a price from being measured against the home next door. This brief does not claim that a private sale always brings a higher price than a public listing.

Fee arithmetic shows what the commission point means in dollars, without assuming any rate. Each 1% of a sale price is $7,000 at $700,000, $9,875 at $987,500 and $11,510.20 at $1,151,020. At 3% those amounts are $21,000, $29,625 and $34,530.60. At 5% they are $35,000, $49,375 and $57,551. These are illustrations of what a percentage means on the figures in this brief, and they are not a statement of what any agent charges or what any sale would cost.

Privacy is often the first thing owners raise. A public listing puts photographs, a price and every price change in front of anyone, and in a golf community the neighbors read it too. A private sale keeps those details out of view. That is a matter of preference and not a claim about price.

Timing is the other thing an owner controls. A public listing starts a clock, and the pages above show a median of 98.5 to 105 days, with individual sales from 5 to 469. A private sale lets the owner choose the closing date, which matters most to people who need to find the next home first, or who would rather close before the winter season.

If you are weighing a sale of a Vineyards home, one conversation costs nothing and obliges you to nothing. We ask about the home, the timing you would like and what you would need from a buyer, and we say plainly whether a private sale fits.

Methodology and limitations

Prices, days on market, counts and ratios come from a Realtor.com page with indicators as of May 2026, a market-trends page updated August 17, 2026, a Zillow page updated August 31, 2026, a brokerage's market report whose sold table runs from March 6 to August 28, 2026, an April 10, 2026 article and a September 28, 2026 report on all of Naples. The pages cover different periods and boundaries, and most are commercial pages, so they are not independent of each other. The mean, median and ratio figures for the 50 sold rows and the 38 active rows are this brief's own calculations from the rows shown, and the reading that the sold table is the top of the market is an inference.

Census figures come from the American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates for the postal area that holds the Vineyards, through Census Reporter. The postal area is much larger than the community, and the neighboring North Naples brief covers the age and value cut of the same data. Percentages, gaps, ratios and fee amounts are this brief's own arithmetic and are labeled as such. Where a reading goes beyond what a page says, it is called an inference. No agent names, contact details or street addresses from the pages are reproduced.

Conclusion

The Vineyards record shows a modeled value of $671,454, sold medians of $700,000, a median of $987,500 on a sold table cut at $625,000, asking medians from $595,000 to $722,000 and waits of about 98 to 105 days. The numbers differ because the pages measure different homes and months, because one table appears to show only the top of the market, and because the community includes condominiums and estates.

It does not fix a price for any one home. The choice between a public listing and a private sale comes down to whether an owner would rather meet showings, inspections and a public clock, or sell quietly on a date that suits them. Maison Off-Market speaks only to sellers, and a conversation costs nothing.
