Luxury Home Market in Collier County Flourishes in 2018



The beachfront estate at 2500 Gordon Drive, with 9,394 square feet of space, was listed at $60.9 million.

It’s been a challenging year for Southwest Florida.

Especially with such obstacles to overcome as recovering from Hurricane Irma, which hit in 2017, and the more recent crises of red tide and algae blooms along our coasts.

But in 2018, the luxury home market still managed to flourish in Lee and Collier counties and even broke records despite all the setbacks.
