See what homes comparable to yours in Gran Paradiso (Venice, FL · Wellen Park) have recently sold for — based on recent comparable sales, not national estimates. A free local market analysis from Michael Putnam, Sales Associate SL3220671, Putnam Realty Group (Broker: Brian Putnam Jr. BK3276432).
Across 121 recorded owner-to-owner resales in the past year, the median Gran Paradiso sale price was $405,000, or $215 per square foot. Builder closings are excluded, which is how the industry reports existing-home sales — a builder’s first sale is a new-home sale, not a comparable for an existing home.
| Home type | Resales | Median price |
|---|---|---|
| Single-family homes | 60 | $599,000 |
| Coach homes | 17 | $350,000 |
| Villas | 30 | $320,000 |
| Townhomes | 14 | $280,000 |
Holding size constant at 2,000 to 2,500 sq ft, 26 Gran Paradiso homes with a private pool sold at a median of $647,500, against 18 without a pool at $497,500. That is a difference of $150,000, or 30%. Measured from what buyers actually paid, not from an estimate.
Gran Paradiso is not one market with a gradient running through it. Recorded resales from 2025 and 2026 show homes under 1,600 square feet at a median of $320,000, 1,600 to 1,900 at $360,000, and 1,900 to 2,200 at $329,000. Everything below 2,200 square feet sits in a $40,000 range regardless of size. Cross 2,200 and the median jumps to $669,000. It is a cliff rather than a slope, and the lot sizes step at the same point: about 7,400 square feet below it and 9,300 above.
Price per square foot here ran $222 in 2021, jumped to $293 in 2022, and sits at $216 today. So 2022 buyers are behind. But going through the last recorded sale on every parcel, about 71 percent of Gran Paradiso homes are owned by someone who bought before the run-up or after it came back down. Only around 29 percent bought during the expensive stretch, which ran 2022 through 2024.
1,849 homes, built by Lennar in Wellen Park, Venice, Florida 34293. Gran Paradiso is one of the few communities here with four distinct home types, and the gap between them is wider than most buyers expect. A villa and a single-family home on the same street can be nearly $280,000 apart. A blended “Gran Paradiso median” tells you very little unless you know which type you own.

A lot of it comes down to people — every sale has a seller and a buyer with their own reasons and timing, and those human factors move the final price in ways no online estimate can see. Lot position, updates, condition, and how the home was prepared and marketed all matter too. That is why this gives a range rather than one exact number. Michael Putnam can walk your property and help position it toward the top of its range.
This is an estimate, not an appraisal. It is based on recent comparable sales in Gran Paradiso and your home's size, type, and features — built to give a solid range, not an exact figure, since the final price is set by a buyer. For a property-specific review, a comparative market analysis from Michael Putnam is the next step.
A Zestimate uses a broad national model and often misses what moves value inside one community. This tool is built around recent sales, property characteristics, and local market data for Gran Paradiso, which is why the number can differ. Neither one is an appraisal; both are estimates.
It depends on the home and the current market. Some repairs can affect both the price and how quickly a home sells, while others may not return their cost. Michael Putnam can walk the property and give you a straight read on what is worth doing.
Kitchens and baths, a newer roof, impact windows, and move-in-ready condition tend to be what buyers in this area notice most. Which upgrades make sense for your home and budget is more specific; Michael Putnam can help you weigh what is likely to pay off.
The value of a pool varies by community, buyer demand, lot type, home price range, and overall condition. For a read tailored to your home and the current market, Michael Putnam can help.
