Naples, FL (April 23, 2021) – Records were broken in March, but “don’t call Guinness just yet!” say broker analysts reviewing the March 2021 Market Report, released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island). The analysts are a small contingency of leaders who represent the area’s top real estate brokerage firms and meet monthly at NABOR® to interpret area housing market statistics. The group’s analysis of activity last month confirmed that March broke records; but celebrations to commemorate the month’s record high statistics should be postponed because these broker analysts also agree that our market is probably not done breaking records for the year.
According to the report, March’s historic activity included 1,851 closed sales, $1,582,474,997 in total sale ...

Q: What is being built on Immokalee Road? I see a lot of trees are being cut.
— Roxana C. Gomez, Golden Gate Estates
A: Preliminary site work for a major housing development by GL Homes began at the end of April across Immokalee Road from TwinEagles residential golf community.
Formerly known as TwinEagles South, the future 853-home community – which will be one of the largest in Collier County – was part of the same approval process of the 750-home TwinEagles but is no longer aligned with that subdivision. The proposed development is named Brentwood Lakes in recent records filed with the county’s Growth Management Department, but other names such as Mosaic are still being considered for the gated community of single-family homes.
“We may possibly rename it. We have not finalized the name,” said Richard Arkin, a vice president of GL Homes of Florida Corp. “We haven’t finalized the plans. We’re s ...
