Ave Maria’s new homes sales show strength mid–year
Ave Maria new home sales continue to thrive with 318 new homes sold in the first half of 2025. This has placed the community as the No. 18 Top-Selling Master-Planned Community Report in the U.S. according to the RCLCO semi-annual report.
This growth comes despite a challenging real estate environment both locally and across the nation. Home sales were reported from the four residential builders in Ave Maria – CC Homes, Del Webb Naples, Lennar and Pulte Homes. To date, 5,500 new homes have been sold in Ave Maria with a total of 11,000 new homes projected at full build out.
Adding to the community’s momentum, Ave Maria has once again been named to the Top 100 Places to Live by Ideal Living Magazine. This national recognition highlights the town’s appeal as a leading master planned community – ideal for homebuyers seeking a vibrant lifestyle, extensive amenities, and community connection.
“The strong sales numbers reflect the vibrant lifestyle, family-friendly amenities, conveniences and variety of new home options available here,” said Michelle Mambuca, marketing and public relations manager. “Ave Maria offers something for every buyer. From recreational activities and amenities to quality education, and convenient retail offerings, Ave Maria continues to attract a diverse mix of new residents and businesses.”
The variety of housing options include condominiums, attached villas and single family homes, many of which feature stunning lake, preserve and golf course views. Over 25 designer-furnished model homes are available for daily tours, with prices ranging from the mid $200s to the $800s.
On-site amenities include a water park, soccer and baseball fields, fitness center, amphitheater, dog park, walking paths, championship golf, bocce, pickleball and tennis courts, and a Town Center with more than 75 businesses, including a Publix Supermarket and a commercial center with a Mobil gas station. Free events year-round bring the community together and support local businesses. In addition, Ave Maria’s first public elementary school, Ave Maria Elementary, will open in August 2026 and accommodate 900 students. The community also boasts private schools from preschool through university.
