Announcing 350 new home sales within the last year, the town of Ave Maria continues to reach historic levels and shows no signs of cooling off. In comparison to the same time last year, new home sales are up 74%, and this year-over-year increase is the largest since the master-planned community opened in 2007. Demand for new housing remains high for the development with 66 sales for the month of September, up from 60 in August and 52 in July. Home sales were reported from the four residential builders in Ave Maria — CC Homes, Del Webb Naples, Lennar and Pulte Homes. At its buildout, the town will include up to 11,000 residences, and 1.7 million square feet of retail, office and business park uses in its 4,000 acres in Collier County.
