1. Why is Stonebridge a two-speed market?

Median sold price per square foot by year closed: recorded deed prices over MLS living area, all floors, for qualified, arm’s-length sales of improved homes, from the 1995 sellout to today. Hover any point for the exact figure.

Single-family, 1998 to 2026

251 homes across five plats, n=430 improved sales with a matched MLS living area
What this means. $131 a foot in 1998, $335 at the 2006 top, a flat decade in the $220s, then $452, $498, $505, and $542 this year: a new all-time high, printed in 2026. Unlike most of coastal Collier, Stonebridge single-family has given nothing back.
For sellers: the record supports pricing with confidence; only 8 improved single-family sales have closed this year against 251 homes. For buyers: scarcity is the market here; waiting for a pullback has not worked for four years.

Condos and coach homes, 1998 to 2026

548 residences across six communities, n=944 improved sales with a matched MLS living area
What this means. $105 a foot at the 1998 sellout, $250 at the 2006 top, $131 at the 2012 bottom, then eight flat years before the surge doubled the market: $352 at the 2024 top, $313 now. Today’s number is 11 percent off the top and 92 percent above 2020. A repricing, not a retreat.
For sellers: the units that clear are priced against 2025-26 trades, not the 2024 peak. For buyers: the easing is real and recorded, and the long record says flat decades here end with doublings.

2. How often does Stonebridge trade?

How often Stonebridge actually trades, and why owners can afford to wait when it does not.

Qualified sales per year

Full community, by segment, 1995 to 2026
What this means. After the sellout years, the community settled near 40 sales a year. The 2021 surge cleared 80 in a single year, then the shelves sat nearly empty: 32, 32, 35. 2025 closed 54, the most since the surge, and 2026 is pacing right with it once the county’s two-month qualification lag is counted.
For sellers: thin volume means little competition and no forgiveness for a wrong price. For buyers: in a 799-door community trading 50 times a year, the right home shows up on its schedule, not yours.

The equity floor

What long-tenure owners paid vs what the county says today
Pre-2020 single-family basis
$470K
Median paid, vs $783K value today
Pre-2020 condo basis
$245K
Median paid, vs $400K value today
Single-family held 15+ years
50%
Median tenure 14.4 years
Condos held 20+ years
33%
A third of the towers, original-era owners
What this means. The typical long-tenure owner here is sitting on roughly 1.7x their purchase price. Nobody with that basis is forced at any price, which is exactly what the velocity chart shows: when the number is not there, Stonebridge owners simply do not sell.
For sellers: deep equity is negotiating room, and it is most valuable when it is not needed. For buyers: the seller across the table is not distressed; win on certainty and terms, not on lowball price.

3. Who owns Stonebridge, and for how long?

All 799 residences, classified from the certified tax roll by owner structure, residence, and tenure. Two different communities live behind the same gate.

Ownership structure

Individual vs trust vs entity share, by segment
What this means. Four in ten single-family titles sit in a trust, the estate-planning signature of owners who bought in their fifties two decades ago. LLC ownership is negligible in both segments; there is no investor floor under this market and never has been.
For sellers: expect a trust on one side of the closing table or the other; it is normal here. For buyers: you are buying from households and their estate plans, not from funds.

Who actually lives here

Homestead, absentee, and out-of-state share, by segment
What this means. The single-family streets are primary-home Naples: 63 percent homesteaded, 71 percent Florida-mailed. The condos are the second-home product: 58 percent absentee, with the tax bills going first to Massachusetts, then New York, Illinois, and New Jersey. The Northeast, not the Midwest, feeds this community.
For sellers: the condo buyer pool is national and seasonal; marketing that only works locally misses it. For buyers: absentee owners respond to timing and convenience, not just price.

Tenure curve

Years since last arm’s-length purchase, dated residences by segment
What this means. A quarter of the community has held 20-plus years, back to the sellout era. Tomorrow’s supply comes from these legacy holds, through estates and life changes, not from a builder. The pipeline is demographic, not economic.
For sellers: long tenure means a low basis and room to be flexible on terms. For buyers: the best future inventory is not listed yet; relationships reach it first.

4. Who buys Stonebridge, and when?

When Stonebridge actually closes, and who has been on the buying side of the deed, era by era.

When the community closes

Closings by month of recorded deed, all qualified sales 1995 to 2026
What this means. April is the single biggest closing month in the record, and February through May carries 39 percent of the year. Closings back-date to contracts written in the December-to-March season; the fall is when serious sellers get ready and serious buyers get positioned.
For sellers: the launch window that meets the most buyers opens around the holidays, not in spring. For buyers: late summer and fall are when the thin market is thinnest, and when patience negotiates best.

Who has been buying

Buyer profile on qualified deeds, by era
What this means. The buyer is changing shape slowly: individual buyers ran 83 percent of deeds in the 2000s and 72 percent since 2023, trusts rose from 14 to 21 percent, and out-of-state buyers rose from 51 to 62 percent. What never changed: LLC buying has stayed a rounding error in every era. Stonebridge sells to households, not to funds.
For sellers: your likely buyer is an out-of-state household buying its Naples chapter, often through a trust. For buyers: you are competing with families who move on season timelines; being ready in December beats bidding in April.

Stonebridge, on the record

Questions about the record

What this study is, where the numbers come from, and how to read them against your own residence.

What is Stonebridge Intelligence?

A deed-record study of one gate and 799 residences: six condo and coach-home communities and five single-family plats, built 1995 to 2002, with 251 single-family homes and 548 condos and coach homes. It reads the community’s own recorded deeds, the Collier County tax roll and MLS living areas in four parts: the two-speed market, velocity and the equity floor, who owns Stonebridge, and season and the buyer. It is built from the full record, 2,027 qualified sales since 1995, with deeds recorded through 2026-08-18 and updated 2026-08-28.

Where does the data come from?

Collier County Property Appraiser tax roll and recorded deed records, public record, qualified arm’s-length sales only, with price per square foot computed on MLS living areas rather than county square footage. Deeds are recorded through 2026-08-18, and recent months are partial pending the county’s qualification coding, so the newest counts read low until final. It is informational, not an appraisal.

What does Stonebridge sell for per square foot?

Two speeds. Single-family ran $131 a foot in 1998, $335 at the 2006 top, a flat decade in the $220s, then $452, $498, $505 and $542 this year: a new all-time high, printed in 2026, on true living area. Unlike most of coastal Collier, Stonebridge single-family has given nothing back. The condos ran $105 a foot at the 1998 sellout, $250 at the 2006 top, $131 at the 2012 bottom, then eight flat years before the surge doubled the market: $352 at the 2024 top and $313 now, 11 percent off the top and 92 percent above 2020. A repricing, not a retreat.

How many Stonebridge homes sell in a year?

After the sellout years the community settled near 40 sales a year. The 2021 surge cleared 80 in a single year, then the shelves sat nearly empty: 32, 32 and 35. 2025 closed 54, the most since the surge, and 2026 is pacing right with it once the county’s two-month qualification lag is counted. The typical long-tenure owner is sitting on roughly 1.7 times their purchase price, and nobody with that basis is forced at any price. When the number is not there, Stonebridge owners simply do not sell.

Who owns Stonebridge?

Four in ten single-family titles sit in a trust, the estate-planning signature of owners who bought in their fifties two decades ago, and LLC ownership is negligible in both segments: there is no investor floor under this market and never has been. The single-family streets are primary-home Naples, 63 percent homesteaded and 71 percent Florida-mailed. The condos are the second-home product, 58 percent absentee, with the tax bills going first to Massachusetts, then New York, Illinois and New Jersey. The Northeast, not the Midwest, feeds this community. A quarter of the community has held 20-plus years, back to the sellout era, so tomorrow’s supply comes from those legacy holds, through estates and life changes, not from a builder.

When does Stonebridge sell, and who is buying?

April is the single biggest closing month in the record, and February through May carries 39 percent of the year. Closings back-date to contracts written in the December-to-March season, so the launch window that meets the most buyers opens around the holidays, and late summer and fall are when the thin market is thinnest. The buyer is changing shape slowly: individuals ran 83 percent of deeds in the 2000s and 72 percent since 2023, trusts rose from 14 to 21 percent, and out-of-state buyers rose from 51 to 62 percent. LLC buying has stayed a rounding error in every era. Stonebridge sells to households, not to funds.
