McGreevy and Comisar, Brokered by Domain Realty

By Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, McGreevy and Comisar, Domain Realty Group. Updated November 2026.

Buying in Avalon means a three-bedroom coach-home condominium in a four-unit building inside Grandezza in Estero, and 16 of the neighborhood's 80 homes closed on the Southwest Florida MLS in the 60 months to October 21, 2026, at a $520,000 median. This buyer guide sits beside our full Avalon at Grandezza neighborhood guide, which holds the history, the recorded declarations and the amenities. This page answers one buyer's question: what does an Avalon home cost to buy and to carry, which records are public, and which the association keeps behind an owner login. If you are still comparing agents, our guide to the best real estate agents in Estero sets the options side by side.

Every figure here is from the October 2026 pull behind the neighborhood guide, with the window named beside it. Owning an Avalon home now and buying another? Our Avalon seller guide and Avalon valuation guide cover the sale side, and our Grandezza buyer guide covers all ten villages. Comparing the neighbor next door? See our Oakwood buyer guide.

Recent Avalon market record (12 months to October 21, 2026): 4 MLS closings, a small sample, at a median of $439,750 (the mean of the middle pair, $409,500 and $470,000), a range of $349,900 to $601,000, a median of 103.5 days on market and a median sold-to-list ratio of 94.7%. Over 60 months the record is 16 closings at a $520,000 median. One home was listed and one was under contract on October 21, 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS, Matrix, pulled that day). We publish no count of Avalon purchases we represented, because none is on file for this village.

In the last 12 months we tracked every one of the 4 Avalon closings in the Southwest Florida MLS, and we tracked all 16 marketed closings the MLS has recorded here in five years, plus one entered after closing.

Key Takeaways

Avalon buyers who read nothing else on this page should know these ten facts, each sourced in the sections below. They decide your price, your monthly cost and your paperwork more than any listing photo will, and each is specific to this 80-home coach-home neighborhood inside Grandezza in Estero.

  • Only one home was for sale on October 21, 2026, a three-bedroom, 1,767 square foot home at $439,000 (181 days on market), and one more was under contract at a $457,000 list.
  • Four homes closed in 12 months at a $439,750 median, from $349,900 to $601,000, and 16 closed in 60 months at $520,000.
  • Homes usually sell under the final list price. Twelve of 16 closed below, two at list and two above, and the 2026 median is 94.7%, which is negotiating room.
  • Every home is a three-bedroom on the county roll. The plans are 1,656 and 2,043 heated square feet, 40 each, while the MLS shows four sizes, so confirm the size of the home you tour.
  • Buildings date from 2002 to 2005, with a median year built of 2005, so roofs and systems are 21 to 24 years old unless replaced.
  • You pay two associations and a club. The Avalon association, the Grandezza Master Association and a compulsory club social membership each charge, and none is published in dollars.
  • Chapter 718 governs the units. A resale buyer receives the section 718.503 documents and may cancel within seven days, excluding weekends and holidays, if they were not delivered in time; the section 720.401 summary does not apply.
  • The story count is unconfirmed. It decides whether Florida's milestone inspection and reserve study rules apply, so ask for a written statement.
  • The FEMA map reads Zone X at two points on Burnside Place, on panel 12071C0584F, which is a two-point reading and not a survey.
  • The 30-year fixed rate averaged 7.24% as of October 29, 2026, per Freddie Mac, which makes the monthly payment the number to test first.

What Does It Take to Buy a Home in Avalon?

Buying in Avalon takes six steps: set a budget with a lender, sign a written buyer agreement, choose a size and phase, make and negotiate the offer, review the documents while you inspect and insure, and close. Because two associations and a club sit under one price, the order of the document review matters here.

Step One: Set the Budget With the Full Monthly Cost

Your monthly cost is principal and interest, the Avalon assessment, the master assessment, the club membership, taxes and insurance. We build that number with you before you tour, using the current Freddie Mac 30-year average of 7.24% as of October 29, 2026, and we tell you which pieces are not yet published.

Step Two: Sign the Written Buyer Agreement

Since August 17, 2024, a buyer signs a written agreement with the agent before touring. It states the compensation, which is negotiable and not set by law, and we explain it in plain language before you sign.

Step Three: Choose the Size and the Phase

Avalon is three condominiums, and the county roll shows two plans of 1,656 and 2,043 heated square feet. We narrow the choice by bedrooms, size, building age and budget, and we compare with Oakwood and Sabal Palm on the same morning if you like.

Step Four: Make and Negotiate the Offer

We write the offer from the closed sales of the size you want, not the asking price. In the last 12 months homes sold at a median 94.7% of the final list.

Step Five: Review the Documents, Inspect and Insure

The document review window, the inspection and your insurance quote run at the same time, and each can end the contract. We schedule them so nothing surprises you late.

Step Six: Close

The title company runs the closing, the estoppel is confirmed, the club membership is arranged and you receive your gate access from the association. We are at the closing table with you.

What Is the Avalon Market Like for Buyers Right Now?

The Avalon market for buyers is thin and slow: 4 MLS closings in 12 months at a $439,750 median and 103.5 days on market, one home for sale, one under contract and about 3.0 months of supply. A buyer has time and negotiating room, and few homes to choose from.

What the Windows Say to a Buyer

The 60-month median is $520,000 because it includes the 2023 and 2024 plateau, when 1,767 square foot homes sold for $540,000 to $550,000. The 12-month and 24-month medians, $439,750 and $457,000, are the recent market. Read the long window as history.

Months of Supply

One active listing against 4 closings in 12 months is about 3.0 months of supply at the 12-month pace (our arithmetic). With so few homes, one purchase changes the figure, so treat it as a description of one autumn.

Where Buyers Have the Most and Least Leverage

Twelve of 16 closings sold below the final list, and since 2025 the six closings took a median of 81.5 days at 93.9% of list. Buyers had the most leverage on homes that sat: the July 2026 sale closed at 89.0% after 224 days. They had the least on homes priced to the closings: the May 2026 sale at $601,000 closed in 4 days at 95.4%.

The County Record Beside the MLS

The county's qualified recorded sales show 5 sales since September 29, 2025 at a $470,000 median, and the county file, which ends July 29, 2026, goes back to 2009. County figures are recorded deed prices and are never mixed with MLS square-foot figures. Our MLS pull matched Avalon by the MLS's own subdivision field.

What Have Avalon Homes Sold For in the Last 60 Months?

Avalon homes have sold for $349,900 to $660,000 across 16 marketed MLS closings in the 60 months to October 21, 2026, plus one August 2026 sale entered after closing at $689,000. The latest marketed sale was $409,500 in July 2026 and the highest was $660,000 in August 2023.

The MLS records the baths as 2(1), which we read as two full baths and one half bath. The August 2026 transaction was entered in the MLS after closing, was not marketed, has no days on market and is excluded from every median on this page.

The Price Path, Year by Year

The MLS record shows one $425,000 sale in late 2021 (n = 1), $498,750 in early 2022 (n = 2), $547,500 in 2023 (n = 5), $590,000 in 2024 (n = 2), $453,500 in 2025 (n = 2) and $439,750 in 2026 to date (n = 4). Each is a handful of sales, so we describe direction: up through 2023 and 2024, down since.

The Top and the Bottom of the Range

The highest marketed sale, $660,000 in August 2023, was a 2,133 square foot, three-bedroom-plus-den home that closed in 26 days. The lowest, $349,900 in May 2026, was a 1,656 square foot home that closed at its list price after 173 days. The two are $310,100 apart, and size, timing and condition all sit inside the gap.

What Is for Sale in Avalon Today?

On October 21, 2026 the MLS showed one Avalon home for sale, a three-bedroom, 1,767 square foot home listed at $439,000 with 181 days on market, and one more 1,767 square foot home under contract at a $457,000 list. For the live list, call Marc at (239) 287-5873.

How to Read the List

The last two closed 1,767 square foot homes went for $450,000 in July 2025 and $470,000 in January 2026, after asks of $479,750 and $499,950. The home now under contract was listed at $457,000, between the two sale prices, and the $439,000 ask is below both sale prices. A home that has waited 181 days below both recent sale prices is a reason to ask why, and the answer is often condition, presentation or terms.

Which Listings Fit Which Buyer

Both are the three-bedroom, 1,767 square foot size. A buyer who wants the larger 2,043 square foot plan or a den will not find one today, and we set a search alert. We also show the closest alternatives in Oakwood and Sabal Palm.

What Does an Avalon Home Cost by Size and Plan?

An Avalon home costs about $450,000 to $470,000 for a 1,767 square foot home on the two latest closings, $349,900 to $457,000 for a 1,656 square foot home and up to $601,000 for a 2,043 square foot home in the last 12 months. The county's larger plan has held a premium of about $75,000 to $82,000.

Two Roll Plans, Four MLS Sizes

The county roll shows exactly two sizes, 1,656 and 2,043 heated square feet, 40 parcels each and two of each plan in every four-unit building. The MLS reports 1,656, 1,767, 2,043 and 2,133. We cannot map 1,767 or 2,133 to a roll plan from public records, so we confirm the size of the home you tour and its source.

The Premium on the County Record

The county's qualified sales since 2023 show 10 sales of the 1,656 square foot plan at a $541,000 median and 6 sales of the 2,043 square foot plan at a $615,500 median. In 2021 the medians were $337,500 (n = 8) and $419,000 (n = 8). The gap was about $82,000 in 2021 and about $75,000 since 2023. Both are small samples.

What to Read Into the Table

Size is the biggest variable, but the range inside each size is wide. The 1,767 square foot homes sold from $450,000 to $550,000. That is why we compare the home you tour with closings of its own size and not with a neighborhood median.

How Do Avalon Prices Compare With the Other Grandezza Villages?

Avalon is the second-lowest of Grandezza's eight villages by 12-month MLS median, at $439,750, above only Sabal Palm at $314,500. A buyer here pays for three bedrooms in a condominium and does not pay for a detached home or a villa.

Sabal Palm is the entry rung, $125,250 below Avalon at the 12-month median, with 14 closings against Avalon's 4. Savona sits $211,250 above Avalon and Saraceno $179,750 above.

Which Neighbor to Tour on the Same Morning

The Avalon neighborhood guide lists the closest alternatives. Tour Avalon with Oakwood if you want a coach home and a similar price, and with Sabal Palm if budget is the constraint. We arrange the gate registration and the times, so one morning covers all three.

Avalon vs Oakwood: Which One Should You Buy In?

Choose Avalon for three-bedroom coach homes built 2002 to 2005 with a $520,000 median over 60 months, or Oakwood for 116 condominiums built 2001 to 2004, with more closings and some four-bedroom homes. The decision sits in size, age, sales depth and what each is priced against.

The Dollar Gap

At the 12-month median Oakwood sits $52,750 above Avalon, and over 60 months $7,500 below. The gaps are modest, so the choice is about bedrooms, building age and depth of history, not about price.

Where Avalon Has the Edge

A buyer who wants three bedrooms on every plan, buildings that date mostly from 2005 and is comfortable with a thinner sales record will favor Avalon. On the county roll 44 of Avalon's 80 homes are 2005 buildings, and Oakwood's median year built is 2002.

Where Oakwood Has the Edge

A buyer who wants a four-bedroom home or a deeper sales history behind the price will favor Oakwood, where 52 of 116 homes are four-bedroom on the roll and 26 closed in 60 months. See our Oakwood buyer guide.

What the Comparison Means for Your Offer

Avalon's 3.0 months of supply against Oakwood's 6.0 gives an Avalon buyer somewhat less room on paper, and both are thin. We write each offer from the closings of the size you want and treat the months of supply as one data point among several.

What Does the Club Membership Mean for an Avalon Buyer?

A social membership at The Club at Grandezza is compulsory for residents who do not hold a higher level, per the club's own membership page, and golf is an optional purchase. An Avalon buyer should budget the membership as part of the carrying cost, because the club does not publish its 2026 dues on the pages we read.

The Compulsory Social Membership

The club's membership page describes five categories: Full Golf and Executive Golf, open to residents and non-residents, and Sports, Club and Social, open to residents only. It says social memberships are compulsory for all Grandezza residents who do not hold a higher level. Social members receive access to dining and social events in the clubhouse and to the resort-style swimming pool.

The Club and Its Owner

The club has been owned and operated by Heritage Golf Group since September 2023, per Heritage's press release. It has an 18-hole, par 72 course, six Har-Tru clay tennis courts and a clubhouse of more than 50,000 square feet on Grande Oak Boulevard.

Golf Is Optional

Golf memberships are a separate purchase, and the club's own text says Sports members play under seasonal tee-time rules. You can own in Avalon and never pay golf dues, but you cannot own here without a membership at some level.

What We Ask the Club Before You Offer

The current dues and any food and beverage minimum by category, any initiation or capital charge, whether a waitlist exists for golf and how the membership transfers. We put the answers in writing in your budget, because the club does not publish them.

What Is Not Included

The Avalon association's dues do not include the club membership, and the master association's assessment does not either. The compulsory social membership, any food and beverage minimum and golf or sports upgrades are club charges, separate from the two associations.

What Does Florida Law Give an Avalon Buyer Before Contract?

An Avalon buyer, buying a Chapter 718 condominium resale, is entitled to the governing documents, budget, financial statement and frequently asked questions document under section 718.503, with a seven-day cancellation window, excluding weekends and holidays. The section 720.401 homeowners association summary does not apply to Chapter 718 associations.

The Condominium Resale Documents: Section 718.503

Section 718.503 requires a resale contract to carry a conspicuous clause acknowledging that the buyer received the declaration of condominium, articles, bylaws and rules, the most recent annual financial statement and budget and the frequently asked questions document more than seven days before signing, or a clause making the contract voidable for seven days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, after the buyer receives them. Any purported waiver has no effect, and the right ends at closing.

The Milestone and Reserve Statement

For contracts entered into after December 31, 2024, section 718.503 also requires a conspicuous statement that the association is not required to have a milestone inspection or structural integrity reserve study, or, where required, whether it has completed them. Avalon's story count is unconfirmed in the record we hold, so we ask the association for a written statement before you rely on either version.

Why the Section 720.401 Summary Does Not Apply

Section 720.401(2) says the disclosure summary does not apply to associations regulated under chapters 718, 719, 721 or 723. Avalon's three condominiums are Chapter 718 associations. The Grandezza Master Association is a separate corporation, and whether any Chapter 720 duty attaches to the master is for your closing agent or attorney; this is information, not legal advice.

What We Know and What We Do Not About the Governing Documents

Each Avalon condominium has its own recorded declaration, and we have indexed 20 recorded documents for Avalon at the Lee County Clerk but not read them clause by clause. The master association publishes its governing documents on its library page. We read your documents with you during the review window.

The Property Tax Disclosure and the Flood Disclosure

Section 689.261 requires a property tax disclosure summary warning that your taxes may change after the sale, and section 689.302 requires the seller's flood disclosure at or before contract. Under Johnson v. Davis a seller must also disclose known material defects that are not readily observable. Nothing on this page is legal advice.

How Do the Estoppel Certificate and Association Approval Work in Avalon?

The Avalon estoppel certificate states what is owed on the unit and any charge the association makes at sale, capped at $299 for a standard current-account certificate under section 718.116, and the seller customarily pays it in Lee County. Whether the association must approve a sale is set by its declaration, which we have not read clause by clause.

The Estoppel Certificate

Florida caps a standard estoppel for a current account at $299, adds $119 for delivery within three business days and $179 if a delinquent amount is owed, and the certificate is valid for 30 days (35 if sent by regular mail). The Avalon association's manager issues it. The state's 2026 annual report filing for the commons association gives Vesta Property Services in Bonita Springs as its principal address and registered agent, and the state's condominium extract lists a different management company for two of the three condominiums, so confirm the current manager.

Transfer, Capital and Application Fees

Whether either association charges a capital contribution, transfer fee or application fee at sale is set by the declarations and rules. We name no one-time figure because none is published; the estoppel and the master's resale materials list any that apply.

Buyer Approval and Lease Approval

We do not know whether Avalon's association requires board approval of a buyer or a lease, because the declarations sit behind an owner login. We ask Vesta Property Services for the current procedure and any application fee, and we build any approval time into the contract dates.

Gate Access After Closing

Residents receive RFID tags for their vehicles, and guests are registered through the master association's visitor system. The master's rules say a resident who lets a non-resident tailgate through a gate can lose RFID access for 30 days on a first offense. Ask the master association how tags are issued to a new owner.

What Should You Inspect Before Buying in Avalon?

Before buying in Avalon, inspect the roof condition and age, the air conditioning, the water heater, the windows and doors and the permit history, and ask the association what it has replaced. The buildings date from 2002 to 2005, so the roofs are 21 to 24 years old unless replaced.

The Roof and the Insurance Clock

Year built is the county's only condition proxy, and it is blunt. In a condominium the association typically carries the roof and exterior, so ask which roofs have been replaced and when, and read the reserve schedule in the budget. An insurer will ask the same questions.

Air Conditioning, Water Heater and Plumbing

The unit's own systems follow their own schedules. Ask for the age and service records, and have an inspector test them. We do not quote a repair cost, because none is in the public record.

Windows, Doors and Storm Protection

Ask what window and door protection the unit has and what the association requires or handles. A wind mitigation report on the state's uniform form can earn insurance credits, depending on the building's features.

Permits and Unapproved Work

The Village of Estero's Community Development Department issues building permits within the Village, and pre-2015 permits may sit with Lee County. We have not searched a permit list for any Avalon address, and we recommend you do so before you write an offer.

The Story Count

Community descriptions online call the buildings two-story, and the county roll data we hold has no story field. Ask the association for the certificate of occupancy detail or a written statement, because the count decides whether the milestone and reserve study rules apply.

How Do You Insure an Avalon Condo?

Insuring an Avalon condo means an HO-6 policy on your contents, interior finishes and loss assessment, while the association's master policy covers the building structure. Section 718.111 governs association insurance and section 627.714 governs loss assessment coverage, so ask for the master policy summary and its hurricane deductible before you offer.

The Master Policy and Your HO-6

The master policy's deductibles and coverage decide what the association may assess owners after a loss, and loss assessment coverage on your HO-6 helps with that. We ask the association for the master policy summary and the roof age early.

Flood Insurance

At two points we geocoded on Burnside Place, the FEMA map shows Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, on panel 12071C0584F, and a lender does not require flood insurance on that reading alone, though a lender or insurer may. A wider box returned an AE polygon, so check the exact building on FEMA's map service.

Wind, Storm and Citizens

Hurricane Ian made landfall in September 2022 as a Category 4 storm near Cayo Costa, and Hurricane Milton in October 2024 made landfall near Siesta Key as a Category 3, north of Lee County. We hold no Avalon-specific damage record. Citizens Property Insurance publishes a flood coverage requirement that buyers relying on the state insurer should read.

Ask Your Agent Before You Offer

Get the quote before the inspection period ends, because a high quote can change the deal. We work with your insurance agent so you have the number early.

What Will You Pay Each Month to Own an Avalon Home?

You will pay principal and interest, the Avalon association's assessment, the master assessment, the club membership, property tax and insurance each month, and only principal and interest can be computed from public records: about $2,398 a month on a $439,750 purchase with 20 percent down at 7.24 percent. The other lines come from documents we help you obtain.

Data updated: September and October 2026 (Freddie Mac 30-year average as of October 29, 2026; Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled October 21, 2026)

The Fee Stack

The master association covers community-wide items such as the gate, roads, lakes and architectural review. The Avalon association handles building exteriors, roofs, grounds, insurance and reserves in a typical condominium. The club membership is a third charge. We found no published 2026 dollar figure for any of the three, so the estoppel and the club's written schedule carry the numbers.

An Illustrative Principal and Interest Payment

Purchase price

Loan at 80 percent

Principal and interest, 30-year fixed at 7.24%

$470,000

$376,000

about $2,562

$500,000

$400,000

about $2,726

This is our arithmetic on the Freddie Mac 30-year average of 7.24% as of October 29, 2026. It is an illustration, not a quote, and it excludes assessments, the club, tax and insurance.

The Tax Reset

Property tax is billed on the assessed value, exemptions and millage for the year, and a buyer's first bill can differ from the seller's because a change of ownership can trigger reassessment. We quote no Avalon tax bill. The Lee County Property Appraiser and Tax Collector show the number for a specific parcel.

What the Fees Pay For

A fee that sounds small next to a $440,000 price can decide whether a $349,900 home and a $470,000 home carry the same monthly cost, which is why we get the two estoppels and the club's schedule first and add them up with you. Whether a fee covers water, sewer, trash or cable is set by the declaration and budget and is not public.

No CDD

Grandezza appears on no list of Community Development Districts on Lee County's special districts page, so no CDD bond assessment line rides on an Avalon tax bill. Confirm on the specific parcel's tax record before closing.

What Are Buyer Closing Costs in Avalon?

Buyer closing costs in Avalon include the lender's title policy, the mortgage's documentary stamps and intangible tax, recording, prepaids and inspections, while in Lee County the seller customarily pays the deed's documentary stamps and the owner's title policy. On a $351,800 loan the mortgage taxes are about $1,231 and $704.

The Lee County Custom

The seller customarily pays the deed's doc stamps at $0.70 per $100 and the owner's title policy, and the buyer pays the lender's policy and records the deed. The contract controls, and we negotiate the allocation for you.

Taxes on the Mortgage

A new mortgage carries documentary stamp tax of $0.35 per $100 of the note, with no cap on a recorded mortgage, and nonrecurring intangible tax of $0.002 per $1 of the mortgage. On loans of $279,920, $351,800, $376,000 and $400,000 the stamps are about $980, $1,231, $1,316 and $1,400, and the intangible tax about $560, $704, $752 and $800 (our arithmetic).

Recording, Title and Other Lines

Recording a deed costs $10 for the first page and $8.50 for each additional page under section 28.24. Title search, settlement fees, the appraisal, the inspection, the HO-6 premium and prepaid taxes and insurance vary by provider, and we do not publish figures we cannot source.

Prorations and Prepaids

Association dues are prorated to the closing date, and Florida property taxes, paid in arrears, are credited to the buyer for the seller's days of ownership. The closing agent prepares the numbers.

How Does Buyer Representation Work After the NAR Settlement?

Since August 17, 2024, an Avalon buyer signs a written agreement with the agent before touring, the agreement states the agent's compensation, and compensation is negotiable and not set by law. Buyer-broker compensation can no longer be advertised on the MLS, though a seller may still offer to pay it off the MLS.

What the Written Agreement Says

The agreement states a specific amount or rate and says that broker compensation is fully negotiable. We explain it in plain language before you sign and before the first tour.

Who Pays the Agent

The seller may offer to pay a buyer's agent off the MLS, and the buyer pays any difference under the written agreement. Sellers may also offer closing cost concessions on the MLS. We tell you the number before you write an offer.

Florida's Brokerage Relationship Rules

Florida presumes a transaction-broker relationship unless a single-agent relationship is established, and a licensee may not act as a dual agent. Section 475.278 requires the disclosures. We explain which relationship you have with us in writing.

Can You Finance an Avalon Condo?

You can finance an Avalon condo with a lender that approves the condominium project, and we do not know Avalon's approval status with any loan program, so we ask your lender to check before you offer. Requirements differ by loan program, so ask your lender to check the project first.

Conventional, FHA and VA

Lenders typically review the condominium project's budget and reserves, and requirements differ by program. We do not state Avalon's approval status because we have no source for it. Ask your lender early, and we will hand the lender the budget and financial statement as soon as we have them.

First-Time and Down Payment Programs

The Florida Housing Finance Corporation publishes homebuyer programs for first-time buyers and others, and eligibility depends on income, price and the program. Ask a participating lender whether an Avalon purchase qualifies.

Cash Buyers

A cash buyer can move faster but still needs the section 718.503 documents and the estoppel, and still faces the club membership. Cash does not remove the review window.

Before You Borrow

Get a pre-approval, ask the lender about the condominium project review and get the insurance quote. We build the timeline so the review windows, the inspection and the loan process finish together.

How Do We Find You the Right Home in Avalon?

We find you the right Avalon home by starting with your plans, touring with the closing record in hand and watching the current listing and any that appear. With one or two homes for sale at a time, a saved search and quick access matter more than a long list.

Start With Your Plans

Three bedrooms or fewer, seasonal or year-round, size, building age and budget. We narrow the field before we tour, and we tell you honestly when Oakwood or Sabal Palm fits better.

Tour With the Record in Hand

We bring the closings of the size you are touring, the age of the building and the questions for the association. Grandezza is gated, and showings need a visitor registration, which we handle.

Watch for the Long Listings

A home that has waited 181 days below both recent sale prices is a candidate for a conversation about why, and possibly for a lower offer. We tell you what the record supports and what it does not.

How Do We Negotiate for You in Avalon?

We negotiate for you in Avalon by pricing the offer from the closings of the size you want, using the review windows and inspection as tools and keeping the closing date and deposit in your favor. Homes here closed at a median 94.7% of list in the last 12 months, so we expect a negotiation.

Pricing the Offer

The closings of your size, newest first, then the live listings. The July 2026 sale closed at 89.0% after 224 days, and the May 2026 sale closed at 95.4% in 4 days. We tell you which case you are facing.

Using the Review Windows

The seven-day window under section 718.503, the inspection period and the insurance quote are tools. A buyer who has read everything can renegotiate from knowledge, not from worry.

Credits Versus Price Cuts

An inspection finding is often cleaner as a credit at closing or completed work, because the price becomes the next comparable. We steer toward the structure your lender allows.

The Deposit and the Closing Date

We negotiate the deposit, the contingencies and the closing date to give you time for the documents and the loan, and we align them with any approval the association requires.

Which Avalon Rules Decide Whether a Home Works for You?

The rules that decide whether an Avalon home works for you are the master association's published gate, parking, sign and trash rules and the Avalon association's own leasing, pet and approval rules, which are not public. We publish what the master says and tell you who to ask for the rest.

Gates, Guests and Deliveries

Vehicles enter on an RFID tag and guests are registered through the visitor system, with a call-in number and the dwellingLIVE application. First-time visitors show photo identification at the main gate.

Leasing

Renting an Avalon condo depends on the Avalon declaration and rules, which set any minimum lease term, frequency limit and approval process. We found no published rule, so ask Vesta Property Services in writing. Treat stays under a month as not permitted until the association says otherwise.

Pets, Signs, Parking and Trash

The master requires pets to be leashed and cleaned up after, bars overnight street parking and commercial vehicles in driveways overnight, requires written approval for signs and sets curbside trash from 6 p.m. Tuesday for Wednesday pickup. Number, size and breed limits, if any, are in Avalon's rules. Assistance animals fall under federal fair housing rules.

Exterior Changes

Exterior changes need approval, and a condominium association's rules control what an owner may alter in a unit or on a building. Ask before you plan a remodel.

Golf and Amenities

Avalon has its own clubhouse, workout room, pool and spa per the master association's communities page, and the club's amenities sit on Grande Oak Boulevard. We have not toured the neighborhood facility and cite the master association's text only.

Is Avalon the Right Fit for Your Plans?

Avalon fits a buyer who wants a three-bedroom coach home in a gated golf community at a condominium price, who accepts a compulsory club membership and two association layers, and who is comfortable with a thin record. It does not fit a buyer who needs a detached home or a published fee before deciding.

What Avalon Offers

The Avalon neighborhood guide carries the full record. Three bedrooms on every roll record, buildings from 2002 to 2005, its own clubhouse, pool and spa, a gated entry and a location a few minutes from shopping and the interstate. We describe the property, not who should live in it.

What to Weigh Before You Offer

The unpublished fees, the compulsory club membership, the thin resale volume, the long waits in 2025 and 2026, the story count and reserves you must verify, the unpublished rental and pet rules and construction on Corkscrew Road through 2026.

Location

The main gate is at Ben Hill Griffin Parkway and Corkscrew Road near I-75 Exit 123. Approximate drive times from the gate are 1 to 2 minutes to I-75, 1 to 3 minutes to Publix at the Shoppes at Grande Oak, 2 to 4 minutes to Miromar Outlets, 5 to 8 minutes to Florida Gulf Coast University and about 15 minutes to Southwest Florida International Airport.

Schools

Avalon at Grandezza addresses sit in the School District of Lee County's elementary Proximity Zone Q, middle Zone GG and High School South Zone, Sub-zone 3 on the district's 2026 to 2027 map, read at our sample points on October 17, 2026. Zone Q elementary schools are Bonita Springs, Pinewoods, San Carlos Park, Spring Creek and Three Oaks; Zone GG middle schools are Bonita Springs Middle and Three Oaks Middle; South 3 high schools are Bonita Springs High, Estero High and South Fort Myers High. Families rank the schools in their zone and the district places students by preference, proximity and lottery, so no school is assigned by address; confirm yours with the district's school locator.

Can I sell my home and buy in Avalon in the same season?

Yes, and we plan the two closings together. Options include a longer closing on the sale, a rent-back or a contingency, and we show you the trade-offs.

It depends on your financing and risk. With only one Avalon home listed on October 21, 2026, a buyer often wants to be ready to move, and we build the plan with you.

We recommend it, because your proceeds set your budget. See our Avalon valuation guide if you own here.

What if my home sells before I find one?

We plan for it: a rent-back, a short-term rental or a longer closing. We discuss it before you list.

Do I pay two commissions?

Each transaction has its own agreement and its own compensation, negotiated in writing. We explain both before you sign.

Will I lose my Save Our Homes savings if I move?

Frequently Asked Questions, Buyer Edition

These are the questions buyers ask most about Avalon homes for sale, condos for sale, HOA fees and living in Grandezza in Estero, answered from the records cited below. Each answer names Avalon and points to the section that holds the detail. Where a record is not public, the answer says so.

What is Avalon at Grandezza?

Avalon is an 80-unit condominium neighborhood inside Grandezza, a gated golf and country club community in Estero, Florida. It has three condominiums, Avalon I, II and III, in 20 four-unit buildings, built from 2002 to 2005 per the county roll.

Is this Avalon Bay or another Avalon in Florida?

No. Avalon at Grandezza is not Avalon Bay, Avalon at Pelican Bay in Collier County, Avalon at Lehigh Woods or any other Lee County subdivision that shares the word. This page covers Avalon inside Grandezza, ZIP 33928.

Where is Avalon?

Avalon is inside the gated Grandezza community on Burnside Place, entered through the master gate at Ben Hill Griffin Parkway and Corkscrew Road near I-75 Exit 123, in the Village of Estero.

How many condos are in Avalon?

The Lee County 2026 roll carries 80 residential parcels, all condominium use: 24 in Avalon I, 28 in Avalon II and 28 in Avalon III. The state's condominium register lists the same three counts.

What Avalon condos are for sale right now?

On October 21, 2026 the MLS showed one Avalon home for sale, a three-bedroom, 1,767 square foot home at $439,000, and one more under contract. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 for the live list.

How much does an Avalon condo cost?

In the 60 months to October 21, 2026, 16 MLS closings ran from $349,900 to $660,000 at a $520,000 median. In the last 12 months, 4 closed from $349,900 to $601,000 at a $439,750 median, a small sample.

What size are the condos for sale in Avalon?

The roll shows 1,656 or 2,043 heated square feet, 40 of each. The MLS shows living areas of 1,656, 1,767, 2,043 and 2,133 square feet. Confirm the size on the specific unit before you compare prices.

How many bedrooms do Avalon condos have?

Three on every roll record, and the MLS shows three bedrooms, three plus a den, or in one 2024 sale four. The MLS baths read 2(1), which we read as two full and one half.

When was Avalon built?

From 2002 to 2005 per the county roll, with a median of 2005. Avalon I was built in 2002 and 2003, Avalon II in 2004 and 2005 and Avalon III in 2005.

What is the price per square foot at Avalon?

The 60-month median is $287.86 per square foot of MLS living area and the 12-month median is $238.64. County and MLS square-foot figures measure different things, so we never compare them.

Are Avalon prices going up or down?

Down from the 2023 and 2024 plateau. The MLS median was $547,500 in 2023 (n = 5), $590,000 in 2024 (n = 2), $453,500 in 2025 (n = 2) and $439,750 in 2026 to date (n = 4). Small samples describe direction, not a rate.

Is it a buyer's or seller's market in Avalon?

With one listing, 4 closings in 12 months and about 3.0 months of supply, the market is slow, and sellers who asked above the closings have waited. Small counts mean this is a description, not a forecast.

How long do Avalon condos take to sell?

The 60-month median is 31 days on market and the 12-month median is 103.5 days, with a range of 2 to 224 days over 60 months.

What are the HOA fees at Avalon?

Owners pay the master association and the Avalon association, plus the compulsory club social membership. We found no published 2026 dollar figure for any of them; the estoppel and the club's schedule state the numbers.

What does the Avalon association fee cover?

In a Florida condominium it usually covers building insurance, exterior and roof upkeep, grounds and reserves. Whether Avalon's fee also covers utilities or cable is set by its declaration and budget and is not public.

What do I pay at closing when I buy at Avalon?

Your lender and title costs, plus any capital contribution, transfer or application charge that either association's documents impose. We name no figure because none is published; the estoppel lists what applies.

Does Avalon have a CDD or special assessments?

Grandezza appears on no CDD list on Lee County's special districts page, so no CDD bond line rides on the tax bill. We found no public record of an Avalon special assessment; the estoppel and minutes are where one would show.

What are property taxes on an Avalon condo?

They depend on the Lee County assessment, exemptions and millage for the year. We quote no figure. The Lee County Property Appraiser's 2026 roll and the Tax Collector's bill show the number, and a first bill may differ from the seller's.

Do I have to join the golf club to buy in Avalon?

Golf is optional, but the club's membership page says social memberships are compulsory for all Grandezza residents who do not hold a higher membership level. Ask the membership office for the current schedule.

Is Avalon a condominium or an HOA?

Avalon's three condominiums are Chapter 718 condominiums, per the state's register, with a commons association and a master association above them. The section 720.401 summary does not apply to Chapter 718 associations.

What documents will I receive before I sign?

The declaration, articles, bylaws and rules, the annual financial statement and budget and the frequently asked questions document under section 718.503, plus the flood and property tax disclosures. We request them all early.

Can I cancel after I sign an Avalon contract?

For a Chapter 718 resale, the contract is voidable for seven days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, after you receive the documents if they were not delivered before signing, and the right ends at closing.

What is an estoppel certificate?

A statement from the association of what is owed on the unit and any charge at sale. The fee is capped at $299 for a standard current-account certificate, and the seller customarily pays it in Lee County.

Do I need association approval to buy in Avalon?

That depends on the declaration, which we have not read clause by clause. Ask Vesta Property Services for the procedure and any application fee, and build any approval time into the contract.

Is Avalon a 55+ community?

No 55-plus designation appears in the master association's or the club's materials, or in any Avalon record we found. We did not read the declarations clause by clause.

Can you rent out an Avalon condo?

That is set by the Avalon declaration and rules, which are not public. Ask Vesta Property Services for the minimum term, frequency limit and approval steps in writing before you buy for rental.

Are short-term or vacation rentals allowed at Avalon?

We found no published rule allowing them, so treat stays under a month as not permitted until the association says otherwise in writing.

Does Avalon allow pets?

The master's rules require leashes and clean-up. Number, size and breed limits, if any, are in Avalon's own rules, which are not public. Assistance animals fall under federal fair housing rules.

Is there a garage or assigned parking at Avalon?

The roll and MLS data we hold do not say. The master rules bar overnight street parking, and Avalon's parking assignment is set by its declaration and rules; confirm the garage on the specific unit.

Is Avalon gated?

Yes. Avalon sits inside gated Grandezza and shares the master gate; residents use RFID tags and guests are registered through the visitor system. Only Grande Estates has a private second gate.

What flood zone is Avalon in?

At two points geocoded on Burnside Place, FEMA maps Zone X, area of minimal flood hazard, outside the special flood hazard area, on panel 12071C0584F. Check the exact building on FEMA's map service.

Do I need flood insurance for an Avalon condo?

A lender does not require it on a Zone X reading alone, though a lender or insurer may, and any owner can buy it. The Village of Estero says anywhere it rains, it can flood.

Does Avalon need a milestone inspection or SIRS?

Only if its buildings are three or more habitable stories, and the story count is not in the public record we hold. Ask the association for the milestone report, the reserve study or a written statement that neither applies.

What should I inspect on an Avalon home?

The roof, air conditioning, water heater, windows and doors, the permit history and the association's replacement records. The buildings date from 2002 to 2005.

Who pays closing costs at Avalon?

In Lee County the seller customarily pays the deed's doc stamps and the owner's title policy, and the buyer pays the lender's policy, mortgage taxes and recording. The contract controls.

Do I need a buyer agreement to tour homes?

Yes. Since August 17, 2024 a buyer signs a written agreement with the agent before touring, and it states the compensation, which is negotiable.

Who pays my agent?

The written agreement sets the amount. A seller may offer to pay a buyer's agent off the MLS, and the buyer pays any difference. We tell you the number before you offer.

Can I buy in Avalon with an FHA or VA loan?

It depends on whether the condominium project is approved for that program, and we do not know Avalon's status. Ask your lender to check before you offer.

Are there first-time buyer programs?

The Florida Housing Finance Corporation publishes homebuyer programs, and eligibility depends on income, price and the program. Ask a participating lender.

Should I buy in Avalon or Oakwood?

Choose Avalon for three bedrooms throughout and newer buildings, with 16 closings in 60 months at $520,000. Choose Oakwood for four-bedroom options and 26 closings at $512,500. See the decision table above.

What is the monthly payment on an Avalon home?

Principal and interest are about $2,398 on a $439,750 purchase with 20 percent down at 7.24 percent, before the two assessments, the club, tax and insurance. Those amounts are not published, so we request them in writing.

Can I buy in Avalon with cash?

Yes. You still receive the section 718.503 documents, the estoppel and the club membership requirement, and the review window still applies.

Can I buy in Avalon from out of state?

Yes. We work by phone and video, Marc tours and inspects on your behalf, and documents move electronically.

Which schools serve Avalon?

Avalon at Grandezza is in elementary Zone Q, middle Zone GG and high school South 3 on the district's 2026 to 2027 map, so Pinewoods Elementary, Three Oaks Middle and Estero High are among a family's ranked choices rather than assigned schools; confirm your address with the district's school locator. Lee County assigns by proximity and choice, so confirm current options with the district.

What should I ask before making an offer at Avalon?

Ask for the Avalon estoppel, declarations and amendments, rules, budget and reserve schedule; the story count and milestone status; the roof age; lease and pet rules; the club's current schedule; and the master's resale materials. Marc runs that list on every buyer's behalf.

Who manages the Avalon association?

Vesta Property Services in Bonita Springs is the principal address and registered agent on the association's 2026 state filing. The state's condominium extract lists a different management company for two of the three condominiums, so confirm the current manager.

Frequently Asked Questions, Selling One Home to Buy in Avalon

These are the questions buyers ask when they must sell a home to buy in Avalon. Each answer names Avalon and points you to the right next step. For a number on your current home, use the free home valuation or Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

How do I sell my home to buy in Avalon?

Start with a valuation of your current home, decide your timeline, then plan the two closings together. We handle both sides of your move.

Should I list before I make an offer in Avalon?

With only one or two Avalon homes listed at a time, many buyers list first so they can act quickly. We weigh the risk of owning two homes against the risk of losing the right one.

Can I make an offer contingent on selling my home?

You can propose it, but in a small neighborhood a seller may prefer a cleaner offer. We tell you how it reads to an Avalon seller.

Will I owe tax on the sale of my current home?

It depends on your circumstances. The IRS allows a home-sale exclusion of up to $250,000, or $500,000 for joint filers, if you owned and used the home as your main home for at least two of the last five years. We are not tax advisors.

What are the costs of selling my current home?

In Lee County the seller customarily pays the deed's doc stamps and the owner's title policy, plus any estoppel and commission. Our Avalon seller guide works the numbers.

Can I rent back my home after I sell?

Often yes, by agreement in the contract. We negotiate the terms with your buyer.

How do I coordinate two closings?

We align the contract dates, the lenders and the title companies, and we plan a buffer. Ask us for the sequence before you list.

Can I move my Save Our Homes savings to Avalon?

Ask the Lee County Property Appraiser about your specific case; section 689.261 warns that a change of ownership can trigger reassessment.

Which of my questions is not answered here?

Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or Jesse at (239) 898-6072 and we will find the answer or say plainly that it is not public.
