Recent  Charlotte Harbor Area

 Gulf  of Mexico  Access  Waterfront  

Building Lot  Sales (  Updated February, 2025  )

   This report includes most of the Gulf of Mexico access waterfront  sales in Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, South Gulf Cove, Placida, and Englewood during the last three months with some prior sales to give context. If you need information about earlier sales, please call or text me at 941-661-2577 or e-mail me at abroslat@gmail.com.  If you need a special search of historical lot sales prices or a valuation of your lot, please send me an email.  

    Sales volumes  increased sharply in 2021 when the FED was goosing the money supply, especially for higher priced lots,  and prices  moved up a lot. Prices  stabilized in 2022 with  some weakness in the fourth quarter. Most of the very low priced inventory has been sold off. View lots at the intersection of canals or lots with big water views have become extremely scarce and prices continue upward.
