The National Golf & Country Club Homes for Sale

Expert Perspective: The 2026 Market at The National

"As of March 2026, The National Golf & Country Club has become the definitive choice for the 'Lock-and-Leave' golfer. It remains the only gated, bundled-golf community in Ave Maria, making it a high-demand asset for seasonal residents. With a median sold price of $455,000, it offers a lifestyle that would cost double in coastal Naples, with the added benefit of a 18-hole championship course designed by Gordon Lewis."

"The 2026 trend is 'The Move-In Ready Terrace.' While the executive estate homes ($600k+) are holding steady, we are seeing the highest velocity in the 4-story Terrace condominiums. These units provide the lowest entry point into the bundled golf lifestyle, with Sellers receiving 97% of their asking price. Lennar’s 'Everything’s Included' program continues to drive new construction demand, particularly for homes featuring the latest 2025 hurricane-impact glass and smart-home technology."

"For the 2026 buyer, The National is a Strategic Selection Market. With 132 active listings across condos, verandas, and single-family homes, there is genuine choice for the first time in three years. The average home takes 95 days to sell, but 'Hot Units' with unobstructed lake and golf views are moving in under 40 days. My advice: pay close attention to the **Golf Transfer Fees** and annual dues, which currently sit around $10,000–$15,000 annually. For the frequent golfer, this remains the most cost-effective way to live on the links in Collier County."
