Quail Creek, on the record
What this study is, where the numbers come from, and how to read them against your own home.
A reading of Quail Creek's entire recorded deed history: every qualified, arm's-length sale on the six recorded Quail Creek plats behind the Valewood Drive gate from the 1983 sellout through deeds recorded 2026-08-03, 842 sales in all, joined to the Collier County tax roll for every one of the 295 residential parcels. It shows what the community has actually sold for by year, how often it trades, who owns it, how long they hold, and when it closes.
Two public records and one MLS field: the Collier County Property Appraiser's certified tax roll (owner of record, mailing address, homestead status, assessed value, year built, lot size), its recorded sales file (every deed with a price, date and qualification code), and the MLS living area of each home, all floors, as the denominator for every price-per-square-foot figure. 764 of the 842 qualified sales matched an MLS record; the rest count in every price median and drop out of the per-foot line. No listing or asking-price data appears on the page.
Per square foot, the median ran $140 in 1997, $329 at the 2006 top and $187 at the 2012 bottom, a 43 percent decline, then sat between $200 and $260 until 2020. The surge took it to $365 in 2021, $541 in 2022 and $640 in 2023; it eased 17 percent to $533 in 2024, held at $538 in 2025 and reads $598 through July 2026 on 13 sales, seven percent under the top and 133 percent above 2020. By price, the median sale went from $225,000 in 1985 to $1.53M in 2006, $745,000 in 2012, $2.80M in 2023 and $2.78M through July 2026.
For more money, yes; for more per foot, no. Since January 2025, homes built in 1990 or later have sold for a median $3.03M on 20 sales and homes built in the 1980s for $2.34M on 16, but per foot the two are $573 and $562, a two percent difference. The premium is square footage: the newer house that traded had a median 4,925 square feet against 3,978 for the original. Only 11 of the 287 homes carry a structure built since 2015, so the newest stock is too thin to chart on its own. The county assigns 55 percent of assessed value to land, with a median land assessment of about $1.0M on a lot of 0.77 acres.
Improved homes have traded 13 to 27 times a year since the community filled in: 27 in 2021, 24 in 2022, 16 and 17 in 2023 and 2024, and 24 in 2025, the busiest year since the surge, with 13 recorded through July 2026. Against 295 parcels that is about one home in twelve changing hands a year. Seventeen of the 23 improved sales in 2025 cleared $2M and nine cleared $3M; the top prints since January 2025 are $4.2M, $4.25M and $5.05M.
Individuals hold 64 percent of the 295 parcels, trusts 31 percent and entities 5 percent, and buyers since 2023 match that shape almost exactly at 60, 31 and 9 percent. It is a primary-home community: 72 percent of parcels carry a homestead exemption, nine in ten tax bills go to a Florida address, 13 percent of owners are absentee and only 23 parcels are mailed out of state, led by Wisconsin with five. Seven owners take their mail in Canada.
The median owner is 8.3 years past their last arm's-length purchase across 281 dated parcels; 84 bought in the last five years, 91 have held fifteen years or more and 73 of those past twenty. The 165 owners who bought before 2020 paid a median $862,000 for homes the county now values at a median $1.65M. Assessed values size the gain; they are not market values.
Late spring. Across all 842 qualified sales May is the heaviest month at 104 recorded closings, with June at 91, March at 85 and April at 84; January and November are the lightest at 49 each, and February through May carries 40 percent of the year. Trusts took 31 percent of purchases from 2023 to 2026, up from 12 percent in the 2010s, and nine in ten recent buyers arrived with a Florida address.
