Closed & Counting: A Look at My 2026 Sales So Far

May 13

✨ Four months in, and the Southwest Florida market is moving beautifully.

There's something deeply gratifying about pausing to look back at the work that's been done — not just the numbers, but the stories behind each closing. Every transaction represents a family, a lifestyle shift, a new chapter. And in 2026, those chapters have been extraordinary.

Here's a look at what we've accomplished so far this year across Southwest Florida.

💫 The 2026 Closings

26367 Woodlyn DR, Bonita Springs — $2,900,000

One of the most special properties to come through our market this year. This stunning Bonita Bay estate offered the kind of architecture and privacy that discerning buyers rarely find — and when they do, they move quickly. A beautiful closing that reflected everything this community represents at its finest.

4971 Bonita Bay BLVD #1603, Bonita Springs — $2,200,000

Seaglass continues to be one of the most sought-after addresses in all of Bonita Bay, and this residence is a perfect example of why. High above the treetops with sweeping water views, this closing was a testament to the enduring demand for luxury high-rise living in this community.

4931 Bonita Bay BLVD #801, Bonita Springs — $2,100,000

A rare double-sided transaction — representing both the buyer and the seller — this closing speaks to the depth of relationships built over more than two decades in this market. Knowing both sides of a transaction intimately allows me to facilitate a seamless experience for everyone at the table.

3320 Glen Cairn CT #102, Bonita Springs — $648,375

Bonita Bay's appeal extends across every price point, and this closing is a wonderful reminder of that. A beautifully maintained residence that connected the right buyer with the right home at exactly the right time.

23700 Merano CT #101, Estero — $550,000

Estero continues to attract buyers who appreciate the lifestyle and value that Southwest Florida offers at every level. This closing rounded out a remarkable start to 2026 and reflects the breadth of the market I'm honored to serve.

What This Means for the Market

Over $8.3 million closed in just four months is more than a personal milestone — it's a reflection of a market that continues to attract serious, motivated buyers and sellers who value experience, discretion, and results.

Bonita Bay remains one of the most compelling communities in all of Southwest Florida. The demand is real. The lifestyle is extraordinary. And the buyers who are paying attention are making moves.

What's Ahead

With three active listings currently on the market — including the breathtaking Seaglass Penthouse 2503 at $3,550,000 — the momentum heading into the second half of 2026 is strong.

Whether you're considering selling a property you've loved or searching for the home that will become your next great chapter, I'd be honored to be part of that journey.

This is the market I know. This is the lifestyle I love. And I'm just getting started. 🤍

Lynette Livengood-Grout

Luxury Travel Architect

Travel, for me, is an art form—an exquisite interplay of elegance, authenticity, and discovery. My personal style is rooted in refined luxury. Yet, it’s the soulful moments—the whispered secrets of a hidden treasure, the warmth of a local artisan’s story, the taste of a centuries-old recipe—that transform a journey into something unforgettable.

I gravitate toward destinations that offer more than beauty—they must evoke a strong emotional response. The accommodations I select are never places to stay; they are sanctuaries of style and substance. Whether it’s a historic villa overlooking the Amalfi Coast or a contemporary hideaway in the heart of a distance land, each property must reflect a harmonious balance of indulgence and intimacy, sophistication and soul.

Gourmet dining is a given, but my true joy lies in the unexpected: a family-run trattoria with no menu, a rooftop mezze feast under Moroccan stars, a cooking class led by a grandmother who measures with memory. These are the moments that linger.

As a luxury travel advisor, I bring a discerning eye and “infectious enthusiasm” to every itinerary. I transform the stress of planning into a seamless experience—curating journeys that are intentional, immersive, and impeccably executed. My clients don’t just travel; they immerse themselves in the story of a place, returning with memories etched in emotion and narratives that elevate their worldview.

Because loving the lifestyle means embracing the extraordinary—at every turn, in every detail, one destination at a time.
