Planned and completed are different counts, and the difference between them is not the number of homes for sale. Ask for current availability rather than inferring it. That completed figure is a floor, not a current total: this community is still being delivered, and the roll records no completion here in the year it was read while carrying that year for others. Either homes finished after the roll recorded them, or the parcels matched to this name are missing a phase. Ask for the current count.

Michael’s Take

Six builders means the most variety in one neighborhood, great for buyers who want options side by side before committing.

How Palmera compares

From the county records

$3,421,000

Median of 136 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $601,000 and $7,962,000.

35%

Of the 84 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as a mix of homes claimed as a permanent residence and homes that are not.

Newest completion recorded 2025. 11% of the parcels here were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2025. That is below the share this site treats as actively delivering, so most of what trades here is resale, but it is not finished.

Arm’s-length sales recorded with Sarasota County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is reported here as a share of matched residential units rather than as a count of who lives here. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.

At an estimated $9,443 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Palmera sits about 21% above the Wellen Park median of $7,804, ranking 15 of the 18 Wellen Park communities whose fees this site tracks.

Estimates from the same dataset behind the fee pages and the True Cost Index. Fees vary by lot size and sub-association, and change with each budget.

Governing Documents

HOA & community documents for Palmera

3 documents from the community development or stewardship district that covers Palmera and linked to the page each one lives on. Nothing is copied here, so you read whatever they publish today. No association documents have been located for Palmera yet, which is a gap in what has been found rather than evidence there are none.

District documents

A community development or stewardship district is a unit of local government, not an association. Its assessment is billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and its rules are public records of a different kind. Shown separately for that reason.

West Villages Improvement District

Why it applies to Palmera: Taken from the list of neighborhoods the district publishes on its own FAQ page, not inferred from geography. The district also publishes the neighborhoods it does not cover.

Check lots, inventory & pricing at Palmera

Before visiting the model homes at Palmera, discuss representation with me.

Palmera FAQ

Does Palmera have new construction homes?+

Yes, Palmera is actively building in Wellen Park. Builder pricing and incentives change often, so I can send the current list and represent you with the developer. What fee you owe, if anything, is set out in the written buyer-broker agreement we sign before touring; developer registration rules are confirmed for your specific purchase. Loop me in before your first model visit.

Who builds homes in Palmera?+

Palmera is built by 6 builders (Mattamy, Neal, M/I, David Weekley, Towne, ICI). Those homes now trade as resales rather than through the builder, so the original warranty has usually expired and the condition of the specific house matters more than who built it. Roof age is the first thing to establish, because Florida insurers weight it heavily.

How much do homes in Palmera cost?+

The published price guidance for Palmera is an estimate in the $400K, $1M+ range, not a live listing feed or a valuation. Pricing varies by the specific home, condition and lot. Ask me for current listings and recent comparable sales before setting an investment range or an asking price.

What kind of homes are in Palmera?+

Palmera offers single family, townhomes & coach homes, with floor plans of 2 to 5 bedrooms. Attached homes carry an association that maintains the building itself, so the fee covers more than it would on a single-family home and the association's reserves matter to you directly. What a specific home includes, and what the association maintains, is set out in that community's documents and is worth reading before an offer rather than after.

Is golf membership required at Palmera?+

Golf is central to Palmera, but living in a golf community and holding a golf membership are two different things and the distinction costs real money. Membership structures vary: some are required with the home, some optional, some sold separately to non-residents, and some carry a waiting list. Confirm which applies to the specific address, and the current dues, directly with the club before relying on it.

What amenities does Palmera have?+

Palmera offers Resort-style pool & on-site restaurant, Golf simulator, unique in Wellen Park, Splash pad, Pickleball courts, Widest builder variety in Wellen Park, among others. Worth separating two things that often get blurred together: amenities the HOA maintains and which every owner pays for, and club or golf facilities that may require a separate membership on top. Which category each amenity falls into determines your actual annual cost, and it is set out in the community documents rather than in any listing.

What have homes in Palmera actually sold for?+

136 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Palmera since October 2023, at a median of $3,421,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $601,000 and $7,962,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Sarasota County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.

Do people live in Palmera year round?+

35% of the 84 matched residential units in Palmera claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Sarasota County roll in October 2026. That reads as a mix of homes claimed as a permanent residence and homes that are not. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.

Is Palmera still being built?+

The most recent home the county records in Palmera was completed in 2025, across 748 platted parcels of which 84 carry a finished home. 11% of its parcels were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2025. That is below the share this site treats as actively delivering, so most of what trades in Palmera is resale, but it is not finished. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.

Does Palmera have a CDD fee?+

Yes. Palmera carries an estimated CDD assessment of $2,443 - $4,095, on top of an HOA fee estimated at $339 - $690 monthly. A community development district assessment can have two components, and they behave differently: debt service repays the bonds that funded the roads, drainage and amenities, and ends when those bonds are retired, while an operations and maintenance charge pays to run what the bonds built and does not. Both are billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and both are separate from the HOA. Assessments are set annually and vary by home and phase, so confirm the current components for the specific address.
