A Quieter Summer, with Plenty Happening

Summer has brought its familiar change of pace to The Dunes. Afternoon rains have helped fill our ponds and green the landscaping. The Club is on its seasonal schedule, many residents are away, and community teams are using the quieter months to complete projects.

The Club at The Dunes and its pool closed for annual maintenance on Monday, August 3, and are scheduled to reopen Wednesday, August 19. The Wellness Center and Racquet Courts remain open.

The Floridian Club is scheduled to close for annual maintenance September 8 and reopen September 28.

Reciprocals

Summer is a good time to explore golf, tennis, pickleball and dining at the many reciprocal clubs available throughout the Naples area. It is an opportunity to enjoy other communities’ amenities—and return home with a renewed appreciation for the lifestyle we enjoy at The Dunes.

POA Settlement Now Complete

The Dunes Property Owners Association announced that its dispute with the community’s former developer has been fully resolved. The Association now controls the former hold-back land, the marina interest and related development rights, and rights to six reserved residential units.

Why it matters: Future decisions involving these properties will now be made by the Association and its members—not an outside developer.

The Dunes Market: What the Numbers Suggest

The summer market is quieter, as expected, but activity during the first half of 2026 remained ahead of the same period last year. Buyers continue to be selective, and the strongest response is going to residences that are priced and presented in line with their building, floor plan, condition and view.

Current Offerings

The July 31 CMA identified 14 active listings within the report’s search criteria. The median list price was $2,047,500, with a median of $701 per square foot.

Days on market varied considerably, reflecting differences in pricing history, condition, location and cumulative exposure.

Recent Results

Eleven recent sales were included in the report: nine MLS closings and two transactions handled by Your Dunes Team that were not listed on the MLS.

The combined median sold price was $1.95 million. The nine MLS sales had a median sold price of $1.875 million and ranged from $496 to $760 per square foot.

Our Takeaway

Limited inventory continues to support well-positioned sellers, but scarcity alone does not overcome overly ambitious pricing or presentation issues.

For buyers, the relatively small number of choices makes detailed building knowledge and careful comparison especially important. Two residences with similar square footage can differ meaningfully based on floor plan, renovation quality, exposure, view, amenities and membership options.

Looking Ahead to Fall

The pace around The Dunes will remain relatively quiet through the balance of summer, with activity typically increasing as residents return and the seasonal market begins to rebuild.

The coming months are a useful time for owners to review value, complete improvements and prepare thoughtfully before the fall and winter selling season.
