The Esplanade by the Islands market, as of September 18

Source: recent Southwest Florida MLS data and Collier County public records, as of September 18, 2026. Community-wide medians — collection, floor plan, lot, view, pool and condition move individual values substantially. Closed sales are a rolling four-month window (May 21 – Sep 15); “builder-direct” means Taylor Morrison was the seller. $/sq ft is rounded simple division for orientation only.

Half of what’s for sale in Esplanade right now belongs to the builder.

11 of the 21 homes listed in the MLS are Taylor Morrison quick move-ins — the builder now lists most of its standing inventory alongside owner resales, and it is running its Semi-Annual Sale on that inventory through September 30. That changes how the community-wide numbers read. The builder’s 10 closings since May settled at a median of $633,490 and 99.7% of the advertised price — the discount is taken as a price reduction before contract, so the closing price and the list price match. The 12 owner resales settled at a median of $917,500 and 94.7% of the final asking price. Two markets, one gate.

Strip the builder out and the resale board is thin: 10 owner listings — 7 single-family homes from $1,150,000 to $2,599,000 (6 of the 7 with a private pool), 2 twin villas at $629,000 and $665,000, and a single coach home at $479,000. Against the 12 resale closings of the last four months that is roughly 3.3 months of resale supply — about 4.6 months for single-family, and for coach homes the builder’s own inventory is the market: 7 listed, 1 of them a resale.

Five new listings — four of them single-family on Triesta Lane

This weekend’s public open houses

9 homes open — 7 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. The builder opens 4 of its inventory homes and models on Saturday from 1:00 to 4:00 — two coach units on Giardino Drive, a Marino and a Cascata; the resale open houses run from a $665,000 villa with a pool to two 4,456 sq ft Beacon estates on Turin Drive. Common courtesy: if you visit an open house and already work with an agent you trust, let the hosting agent know.

Open-house schedule from the MLS as of September 18, 2026 — times can change; confirm before you go. Listings and open houses hosted by other brokerages are shown for information; this report is not intended to solicit property already listed. None of these is a Nicholas Nolan Team listing.

The plan board

Esplanade’s resale market runs on retired plans. The Lazio — the plan the Lazio II replaced, built here through 2024 at 2,275–2,440 sq ft — has 3 homes for sale at $1,150,000–$1,450,000, one under contract and two closings since May at $1,160,000 and $1,325,000, while the builder’s current successor plans sit in the same rooms at very different numbers: two Lazio II quick move-ins at $917,513 and $985,491, and the brand-new Lavello from $684,999 before lot and options. The 4,456 sq ft Beacon estates on Turin Drive are their own market: 3 for sale at $2,450,000–$2,599,000, against three closings at $1,900,000, $2,075,000 and $2,275,000.

Plans shown are those with at least one listing or closing in the window. Ranges are asking prices; medians are closed prices (builder-direct and resale combined where both occurred). Beacon homes in this community appear in the MLS at 4,435–4,456 sq ft. One 1,624 sq ft coach unit under contract is not matched to a catalogued plan.

Days on market, three ways

The 10 resale listings advertise a median of 64 days on the market. That is flattering for one reason: four of the seven single-family resales came on in the last three weeks, so single-family resale advertises a median of just 14 days. The two villas have been listed a median of 128 days; the one resale coach home 426.

Cross-checked against this year’s expired and cancelled listings at the same address, 3 of the 21 homes for sale have been for sale before — two builder re-lists whose MLS clocks carried over (about 300 days each), and one resale estate that expired after 175 days and came back with a fresh clock and a higher price. Counting every attempt, the 10 resale listings have really been for sale a median of about 78 days.

On the closed side, the 12 resales took a median of 70 days to go under contract and settled at 94.7% of the final ask; the builder’s 10 sales took 58 days and settled at 99.7%. A note on the MLS’s “cumulative” clock: in this MLS it keeps running while a home is under contract and adds any prior listing, so it is not comparable with the advertised figure on pending or closed homes — this report uses it only where a re-list is confirmed.

Closed-sale figures reflect a rolling four-month window (May 21 – Sep 15), so the set changes from edition to edition and moves in the median can reflect which sales are inside the window rather than any change in value. Per-address detail is shown only for closed sales (public record) and scheduled open houses; homes for sale or under contract are described by floor plan, collection and price band. Relisting history is compiled from MLS status records for the same address and is described by plan and price only. $/sq ft is rounded simple division for orientation only.
