Buying a home in Savona means buying in the largest village inside gated Grandezza in Estero: 169 single-family homes built between 2004 and 2007, 12 Southwest Florida MLS closings in the 12 months to October 21, 2026 at a $651,000 median, and three homes for sale on that date. This buyer guide sits beside our full Savona neighborhood guide, which covers the plat, the association, the flood map and daily life, and it answers the questions a buyer asks in order: what things cost, what the association and the club charge, which documents to demand, what to inspect and how the purchase closes.
If you are still choosing an agent, our guide to the best real estate agents in Estero sets the options side by side on the public record. If you own a home to sell first, our Savona seller guide walks through pricing and closing costs, and our Savona home valuation guide shows how we value a home by size group.
Buying next door? Our guide to buying a home in Cypress Cove applies the same record-first method, and our Grandezza buyer guide covers all ten villages behind the gate. Where a record stops, this page says so and names the document that would answer the question.
McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor for buying in Savona because we read the association's public filings and every closed sale, explain which Savona size group fits your budget and how the three fee layers work, and personally negotiate for you. We are the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012 and Top 1% nationally since 2008.
Recent Savona market record (12 months to October 21, 2026): 12 resales in the Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix, pulled October 21, 2026) at a median of $651,000, a range of $562,500 to $870,000, $8,345,000 in total volume, a median of 46 days on market and a median of 96.8% of final list price. Three homes were active on October 21, 2026, about 3.0 months of supply. Domain Realty, our brokerage, closed 615 transaction sides in Estero in the 60 months to October 5, 2026, $352.2 million in volume counted by side, per the Southwest Florida MLS pulled that day. McGreevy and Comisar are the #5 real estate team in Florida in the 2026 RealTrends rankings.

Buying in Savona takes six steps: set a budget with the full monthly cost, sign the written buyer agreement, choose the size group and the club tier, make and negotiate the offer, review the documents and inspect, and close. The steps are the same as elsewhere in Florida, but Savona adds three fee layers and one association to read.
A Savona budget is the mortgage payment plus Lee County property tax, homeowners and wind insurance, the neighborhood association's assessment, the master association's assessment and the club's social membership. None of the last three is published as a Savona dollar figure, so we ask for the estoppel and the club's schedule before you fall in love with a house.
Since August 17, 2024, a buyer signs a written agreement with the agent before the agent tours a home, and it states the compensation and that it is negotiable. We walk you through it before the first showing and explain who pays whom.
Savona's homes cluster at about 1,650 to 1,680, 1,880 to 1,895, 1,975 to 1,990, 2,215 to 2,235, 2,290 to 2,295 and 2,380 to 2,480 square feet. Golf at The Club at Grandezza is optional, and the club states that social memberships are compulsory for residents without a higher tier, so the tier you choose changes the annual carry.
We price the offer from the closings of the same size group, not from the ask, and we use the estoppel and disclosure windows as part of the negotiation. Savona's 12-month closings under list averaged about $27,700 below their final asks.
You review the declaration, rules, budget and estoppel, order the inspection and wind mitigation report and get an insurance quote for the exact address. A 2005 house needs a close look at the roof, air-conditioning and water heater.
At closing you pay your lender and title costs, any capital or transfer fee the estoppel states and a $15 gate tag, and you receive an RFID tag from the master association. We tell you where and when.
The Savona market for buyers is tight on choice and firm on price for well-presented homes: three active listings against 12 closings in 12 months is about 3.0 months of supply, yet 11 of the 12 closings came in below list, and seven homes that sat more than 90 days closed at a median 96.2% of list.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS, Matrix, pulled October 21, 2026)
Savona's first window with 10 or more MLS closings is the trailing 12 months. Every figure below ends October 21, 2026 and covers MLS-marketed sales only.
Window | MLS closings | Median sold | Median $ per MLS sq ft | Median days on market | Median sold-to-list |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
12 months, first window with 10+ | 12 | $651,000 (mean of $650,000 and $652,000) | $341.12 | 46 | 96.8% |
24 months | 24 | $660,000 (middle pair $660,000 and $660,000) | $357.17 | 56 | 96.8% |
36 months | 29 | $699,900 | $365.36 | 44 | 96.8% |
60 months | 49 | $700,000 | $350.32 | 25 | 97.7% |
The 36-month median of $699,900 and the 60-month median of $700,000 sit above the 12-month $651,000 because the older sales closed in the 2022 peak, when eleven homes sold at a $708,000 median in a median of 5 days. Today's buyer is in a slower market: 2025 had a median wait of 92 days and 2026 is faster at 37, at about the same prices.
Three active listings against 12 closings in 12 months is about 3.0 months of supply (our arithmetic), against 4.8 at Cypress Cove. A low number means few homes to choose from, not necessarily high prices: the Savona home now under contract had waited 133 days at a $750,000 list.
Buyers have the most room where a home has sat and where an ask is above the closings of its size. Of the 24 closings in 24 months, seven took more than 90 days and closed at a median 96.2% of list, against 96.8% for the other 17, at the same $660,000 median price. Buyers have the least room on the homes that close in days: the March 2026 sale of a 2,294 square foot home took 4 days at 96.7% of list.
The county's qualified recorded sales show 11 sales since September 29, 2025 at a $650,000 median, close to our 12-month MLS window's 12 at $651,000, although the county file stops at July 29, 2026. The county's 2023 median was $765,000 and its 2026 median to July 29 is $651,000. County figures are deed prices and are never compared with MLS square-foot figures.
Savona homes sold for $562,500 to $870,000 in the last 12 months across 12 MLS closings, at a $651,000 median. Eight closed from $562,500 to $660,000 and four from $812,500 to $870,000, and all but one closed below its final list price.

In the last 12 months we tracked 12 closings, from $562,500 to $870,000, and they fall into two groups. Eight closed from $562,500 to $660,000: homes of 1,678 to 2,431 square feet with a $622,500 median (the mean of $620,000 and $625,000). Four closed from $812,500 to $870,000: the 2,232 and 2,294 square foot homes. The $651,000 median describes the lower group, and nobody should read it as the price of the four larger homes.
Few Savona homes come to market, so the buyer who is ready first has the advantage. Savona sold 12 homes in the MLS in 12 months and had three active on October 21, 2026.

The top of the 12 months is $870,000, a three-bedroom-plus-den, 2,294 square foot home in March 2026 that closed in 4 days. The bottom is $562,500, a four-bedroom, two-bath, 1,975 square foot home in October 2026 that took 78 days. The gap between them, $307,500, is mostly size.
A Savona home costs a median of $650,000 to $680,000 in the size classes under 2,100 square feet and a median of $810,000 in the 2,100 to 2,299 square foot class, based on 49 MLS closings over 60 months. The county roll shows heated areas from 1,638 to 3,916 square feet with a median of 2,076.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS, Matrix, pulled October 21, 2026)
Medians use the mean of the middle pair when the count is even. Counts under 5 describe direction, not a rate.
MLS living area (sq ft) | Sales, 60 months | Median sold, 60 months | Range, 60 months | Sales, 24 months | Median sold, 24 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Under 1,700 | 6 | $679,875 | $620,000 to $775,000 | 3 | $635,000 |
1,700 to 1,899 | 15 | $680,000 | $575,000 to $825,000 | 9 | $660,000 |
1,900 to 2,099 | 9 | $650,000 | $562,500 to $790,000 | 6 | $627,500 (mean of $605,000 and $650,000) |
2,100 to 2,299 | 11 | $810,000 | $710,000 to $870,000 | 5 | $840,000 |
2,300 and over | 8 | $697,500 | $652,000 to $864,500 | 1 | $652,000 (one sale) |
In the MLS record, 41 of the 49 Savona sales since October 2021 were three bedrooms, with or without a den, and 8 were four bedrooms. The county roll shows 122 three-bedroom parcels, 32 four-bedroom and 13 two-bedroom, with one parcel each coded six and seven bedrooms. Over 24 months the 14 sales with two baths had a $691,500 median and the 10 with three baths $656,000, because the largest homes are two-bath homes.
Savona's MLS medians were $689,000 in late 2021, $708,000 in 2022, $765,000 in 2023, $740,000 in 2024, $660,000 in 2025 and $651,000 in 2026 to date. A buyer today is buying below the 2023 peak.
Year | MLS closings | Median sold | Range | Median days on market | Median sold-to-list |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2021 (Oct to Dec) | 5 | $689,000 | $624,000 to $762,500 | 7 | 103.4% |
2022 | 11 | $708,000 | $589,900 to $864,500 | 5 | 100.0% |
2023 | 5 | $765,000 | $680,000 to $825,000 | 24 | 97.1% |
2024 | 6 | $740,000 (mean of $710,000 and $770,000) | $679,750 to $810,000 | 35.5 | 96.3% |
2025 | 12 | $660,000 (both middle sales $660,000) | $575,000 to $775,000 | 92 | 96.8% |
2026 to October 21 | 10 | $651,000 (mean of $650,000 and $652,000) | $562,500 to $870,000 | 37 | 96.8% |
The same 1,883 square foot size closed at $825,000 in April 2023, $630,000 in October 2025 and $625,000 in February 2026. The same 2,232 square foot size closed at $710,000 in September 2024, $723,000 in February 2025 and $812,500 in April 2026. Time, condition and position all move a Savona price.
The county roll and the MLS extracts we hold carry no lot size, view, frontage or garage count for Savona, and we claim no golf, lake or preserve frontage without an address in hand. Street names such as Grande Lake Drive and Palermo Lake Court are names, not evidence. Walk the specific lot and check the survey.
On October 21, 2026 the MLS showed three Savona actives, at $698,000 (1,876 square feet), $750,000 (2,380 square feet, four bedrooms) and $875,000 (2,446 square feet, four bedrooms), each listed 14 days or fewer, plus a home under contract at a $750,000 list. The two larger actives ask more than any Savona sale of 2023 or later at their size.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS, Matrix, pulled October 21, 2026)
The $750,000 and $875,000 asks sit above the $700,000 median of the seven sales of 2,370 to 2,499 square feet in 60 months, and the one similar sale of the last 24 months, a 2,431 square foot three-bedroom, closed at $652,000 in June 2026. A buyer compares an ask with closings, so a long listing is the market's answer to the ask, not to the village. If the seller is willing to work from the closings, there may be a deal. If not, the next home will come.
With three active listings there is little to shop, so you prepare and act quickly. We set up alerts, watch the neighboring villages and act quickly when a home in your size group appears, because the fast sales here took 4 to 15 days. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 to set up the search, and use our Savona home valuation guide to see how a seller's ask is tested against the same closings.
On the same date Cypress Cove had two actives, at $644,000 (three bedrooms, 1,939 square feet, 25 days on market) and $679,000 (three bedrooms, 1,989 square feet, 21 days), and a four-bedroom of 3,033 square feet under contract at a $1,249,900 list. Buyers near $650,000 often compare the two villages, and we tour both in one morning.
Savona sits at the middle of Grandezza's price ladder: its $651,000 12-month median is roughly double the entry condominium villages and half the custom estates, and only Sabal Palm closed more homes in the last 12 months. A Savona buyer is buying the largest single-family village at a middle price.

80 | Condominium | 2002 to 2005 | 4 | $439,750 (small sample; mean of $409,500 and $470,000) | |
69 | Homeowners' association | 2001 to 2005 | 4 | $619,500 (small sample; mean of $604,000 and $635,000) | |
116 | Condominium | 2001 to 2004 | 4 | $492,500 (small sample; mean of $460,000 and $525,000) |
The regime column is the roster's reading of entity type and county coding, not of the declarations. The three condominium villages, Sabal Palm, Oakwood and Avalon, are under Chapter 718; every other village is a homeowners association or neighborhood association.
A buyer near $650,000 should see Savona, Saraceno's attached villas ($619,500 median on 4 sales, a small sample) and the lower end of Cypress Cove and Villa Grande. A buyer who wants more space than Savona offers at that price should see Cypress Cove ($725,000 on 5) and Villa Grande ($895,000 on 7). Our Grandezza community guide covers all eight villages.
The ladder shows what you give up and gain as you move. Moving up to Cypress Cove buys more space and a fourth bedroom, at the cost of two associations and fewer comparable sales. Moving down to the condominium villages buys a lower entry price under a different documents package.
Choose Savona for the larger number of homes, one association and a lower entry price, with a $700,000 median across 49 MLS closings in 60 months; choose Cypress Cove for larger homes, some four-bedroom, at a $766,250 median over 24 months, with fewer sales. Savona's price per square foot is the higher of the two.

Over 36 months Cypress Cove closed 19 times at a $775,000 median while Savona closed 29 times at $699,900, a gap of $75,100 or about 10 percent. Yet Savona's median price per MLS square foot was higher, $365.36 against $354.87, so Cypress Cove's premium buys more house, not a higher price per foot. The 12-month gap is about the same, $74,000, but Cypress Cove's rests on 5 sales.
Choose Savona if a newer build, one association, a wider choice of sizes near 1,900 to 2,300 square feet and a price near $650,000 to $700,000 matter most.
Choose Cypress Cove if you want more square footage or a fourth bedroom and accept two sections' rules and fewer comparable sales when you sell. Cypress Cove has moved faster, at 17 median days over 36 months against Savona's 44.
Cypress Cove's median asks are closer to its closings, and its 4.8 months of supply gives a buyer more choice than Savona's 3.0. In Savona, plan to be patient and to price your offer from the closings of the size you want. If you are weighing both, the gate, the master association and the club are the same; the village association, the plat, the year built and the size mix differ.
The club membership means a Savona buyer should expect The Club at Grandezza to require a social membership: the club states that social memberships are compulsory for all Grandezza residents who do not hold a higher membership level, and that Club and Social categories are for residents only. Golf is a separate optional tier.
The Club at Grandezza's own membership page lists categories that include Golf, Club and Social, and says social memberships are compulsory for all residents who do not hold a higher level. It also says the club now welcomes non-resident golf members. The pages we read state no initiation or dues schedule, so we quote no figure.
Golf is optional. The community guide on our Grandezza page covers the course, the practice facilities, the tennis and pickleball courts and the caps the club places on golf membership. For a Savona buyer the decision is whether the household will pay the golf tier or hold the social tier only, and that decision changes the annual carry by a large amount. We do not publish the dollar difference because the club does not.
Our community research describes a non-equity structure. Ask the club in writing how a membership ends or transfers at sale and how any initiation or capital fee is treated, so that you know your exit before you enter.
We ask in writing for the current dues for each tier, any initiation or capital fee, any food and beverage minimum, the transfer procedure and the timing of the membership at closing. Then we put the answers next to the estoppel.
Florida law gives a Savona buyer, if Savona is a homeowners association community as we infer, a disclosure summary under Section 720.401 before signing, a property tax disclosure summary under Section 689.261 and a flood disclosure under Section 689.302 at or before the contract. Missing the 720.401 summary lets the buyer cancel within 3 days of receipt or before closing.
Under Section 720.401, a buyer of a home in a mandatory homeowners association must receive a disclosure summary before executing the contract, and on a resale the seller supplies it. If it is not delivered, the contract is voidable by the buyer, who may cancel within 3 days after receipt of the summary or before closing, whichever comes first. The right cannot be waived and ends at closing.
We infer a homeowners association from the county's single-family coding, the words Neighborhood Association and the title Declaration of Neighborhood Covenants. Section 720.401 does not apply to associations under Chapters 718, 719, 721 or 723, so if the declaration said otherwise, Sections 718.503 and 718.116 would replace it. The county roll codes all 169 parcels as single-family, so we do not expect it, but we have not read the declaration. Your closing agent or attorney has the final say; this page is information, not legal advice.
The recorded-document catalog lists the Declaration of Neighborhood Covenants for Savona as recorded April 7, 2004 in Official Records Book 4250, page 777, and the master declaration as recorded in October 2000 and amended five times through 2006. We have not read either page by page and do not paraphrase their clauses. We ask you to request them and read the use restrictions, leasing rules, pet rules, assessment provisions and amendment history.
Section 689.261 requires a property tax disclosure summary at or before the contract, warning you not to rely on the seller's taxes because a change of ownership can trigger reassessment. Section 689.302 requires the seller to complete and provide a flood disclosure at or before the contract, covering flood damage, insurance claims and assistance during the seller's ownership.
The Savona estoppel certificate is a document from the village association stating what is owed on a home, and Florida law requires the association to issue it within 10 business days of a request. It also states any capital contribution, resale fee or transfer fee, board approval and any right of first refusal.
Under Section 720.30851 the association may charge up to $299 if the account is current, $119 more if expedited within 3 business days and up to $179 more if delinquent, as adjusted for inflation by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and the contract controls who pays. In Lee County the seller customarily pays. The certificate is effective for 30 days if delivered by hand or e-mail and 35 days if mailed, so we time the request to your closing date. Savona has two sets of documents, the village association's and the master association's, so we place two requests.
The statutory estoppel form asks whether a capital contribution, resale fee, transfer fee or other fee is due. We have not seen Savona's answers. Ask for them in writing before your inspection period ends, and put them next to the price.
Whether the neighborhood association requires board approval of a sale or lease is a question for its declaration and rules. The estoppel form asks it directly. Ask the manager, Vesta Property Services, for the current sale and lease procedure and any application fee.
The master association issues RFID gate tags, and its public pages state a $15 charge for a resident tag, payable by check because cash is not accepted. A new owner gets a tag from the master, and we tell you where and when.
Before buying in Savona, inspect the roof, air-conditioning system, water heater, plumbing, windows, doors and any pool or screen enclosure, because the homes were built 2004 to 2007 and are about 21 years old in 2026. Ask for permits and dates for every replacement, and order a wind mitigation report.
A 2005 house has a roof about 20 years old unless replaced, and Florida insurers price roof age. Ask the seller for the roof's age and any claim history, and get the insurance quote before the inspection period ends.
Air-conditioning and water-heating systems installed at construction are near the end of a typical life. Ask which systems have been replaced and when, and whether the home has been re-piped.
The uniform mitigation verification form asks about roof-to-wall connections, opening protection and roof shape, and Section 627.0629 governs the credits. Homes of 2004 to 2007 were built after the statewide Florida Building Code took effect in 2002, and most can qualify for some credit when an inspector verifies the features.
Lee County issued the original building permits, since the Village of Estero did not incorporate until the end of 2014, and the Village's Community Development Department issues permits today. We have not searched either for a specific address, and we ask for the permit history for every home.
Paint, roofing, fencing and screen enclosures need the right approvals, and a master architectural review sits above each village's own. Ask the seller for the approvals for any exterior work.
You insure a Savona home with a homeowners policy that includes wind coverage, and separately with flood insurance if you choose or a lender requires. At three points on Savona's streets FEMA maps Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, so a lender does not require flood insurance on the map reading alone, though any owner can buy it.
Roof age and a wind mitigation report drive the wind premium. We do not publish a Savona premium because no public source does. Ask your agent for a quote on the exact address, and ask the seller for the roof's age and any claim history.
The Village of Estero says that anywhere it rains it can flood, that more than 30 percent of flood claims come from homes outside high-risk zones and that Zone X owners often see lower premiums under FEMA's Risk Rating 2.0 pricing, which replaced the old Preferred Risk policy. A new flood policy has a 30-day waiting period, so buy before you are under contract if you plan to.
The Village of Estero participates in FEMA's Community Rating System at Class 6, a 20 percent discount on flood insurance for properties in a special flood hazard area, which does not apply to a Zone X home.
Grandezza is inland, east of Interstate 75. Hurricane Ian made landfall on September 28, 2022 as a Category 4 storm near Cayo Costa, with its worst surge on the coast and islands, and Hurricane Milton made landfall in October 2024 near Siesta Key as a Category 3. We hold no Savona-specific damage, flood or claims record and do not say the village was undamaged. Lee County's evacuation layer places Savona in Evacuation Zone D and storm surge zone 4 at the building points we checked on October 17, 2026. The evacuation zone is separate from the FEMA flood zone, so confirm the exact address on the county's evacuation tool before you rely on it.
Owning a Savona home costs a mortgage payment plus property tax, homeowners and wind insurance, the neighborhood association's assessment, the master association's assessment and the club's compulsory social membership for residents without a higher tier. None of the last three is published as a Savona dollar figure, so we state the structure and point to the estoppel.
The neighborhood association, Savona at Grandezza Neighborhood Association, Inc., levies its own assessment through Vesta Property Services. The Grandezza Master Property Owners Association levies a master assessment. The club's membership is billed separately. At the 12-month median of $651,000, every $1,000 of annual dues is about 0.15 percent of the price a year (our arithmetic).
The master assessment covers community-wide matters such as the gates, the primary roads and the shared drainage system and lakes. The neighborhood assessment in a single-family village usually covers the village's common areas and reserves; whether it includes lawn care, irrigation or a bulk service depends on the declaration and the budget, and we confirm it on the estoppel for each home.
These are arithmetic on a $650,000 price, not a loan quote. Your lender sets the actual requirements.
Down payment | Amount at $650,000 | Loan amount |
|---|---|---|
3 percent | $19,500 | $630,500 |
5 percent | $32,500 | $617,500 |
10 percent | $65,000 | $585,000 |
20 percent | $130,000 | $520,000 |
Lee County property tax is billed on the county's assessed value. We do not quote a tax bill for Savona because it depends on the assessed value, exemptions and millage for the year, and your first bill can differ from the seller's when the assessment and exemptions change.
Grandezza carries no Community Development District bond assessment on its tax bills; our community research checked Lee County's list of special districts and found no Grandezza district on it. We confirm the absence of a CDD line on a specific parcel's tax record before closing.
Buyer closing costs in Savona are the lender's charges and title policy, recording of the deed, the state's taxes on a new mortgage, prorations and prepaids, any capital or transfer fee the estoppel states and a $15 gate tag. In Lee County the seller customarily pays doc stamps on the deed and the owner's policy, and the contract controls.
In Lee County the seller customarily pays documentary stamps on the deed at $0.70 per $100 and the owner's title policy and chooses the closing agent, while the buyer pays the lender's title policy and records the deed. In Collier County the owner's policy is customarily the buyer's. Savona is in Lee County, and the contract controls.
A mortgage carries documentary stamp tax on the note of $0.35 per $100, with no cap on a recorded mortgage, and a nonrecurring intangible tax of $0.002 per $1 of the mortgage. On a $520,000 loan, 80 percent of a $650,000 price, that is $1,820 and $1,040 (our arithmetic).
Recording fees are set by statute at $10 for the first page and $8.50 for each additional page, so a typical deed records for roughly $18.50 to $35.50. Settlement and title search fees vary by title company and are not promulgated.
Florida property taxes are paid in arrears, so the buyer receives a credit for the seller's days of ownership at closing, and the neighborhood and master dues are prorated to the closing date. The closing agent prepares the numbers, and your lender may require prepaid insurance and escrow deposits.
Since August 17, 2024, a Savona buyer signs a written agreement with the buyer's agent before touring, the agreement states the compensation and that it is negotiable, and offers of buyer-agent compensation may not be advertised in the MLS. Sellers may still offer to pay the buyer's agent off the MLS or offer general concessions.
It names the agent, the term, the services and a specific compensation amount or rate, and it states conspicuously that compensation is fully negotiable and not set by law. We review it with you before the first showing.
Compensation is negotiated. A seller may agree to pay some or all of it, in a contract or a concession, or you may pay it at closing. We tell you the number in writing before you make an offer.
Section 475.278, Florida Statutes, requires a brokerage relationship disclosure so that you know whether your agent works for you, for the seller or as a transaction broker. We represent buyers as buyers.
You can finance a Savona home with a conventional, FHA or VA mortgage, subject to the lender's own underwriting, or buy with cash. We quote no interest rate on this page because rates change daily; check current rates with your lender and with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Owning a Home tools.
The lender decides eligibility, the down payment and the appraisal. Homes in a homeowners association community are typically financed on the loan program's own property standards, and we work with lenders who can tell you early whether Savona's association documents raise a question.
Florida Housing and local programs offer down payment help to eligible first-time buyers, subject to income and price limits. We do not quote a program's terms here, because they change, and we ask a lender to confirm eligibility at the price you have in mind.
A cash buyer skips the appraisal and the lender's review but not the estoppel, the disclosures or the inspection. In a village with a $651,000 median, a cash offer helps most on the homes that have sat, where the seller wants certainty.
Get pre-approved before the first showing, ask your lender about the association's estoppel and insurance requirements, and buy the wind mitigation report and flood quote before the inspection period ends.
We find you the right home in Savona by starting with your plans, touring with the record in hand and watching for the long listings. Because only three Savona homes were active on October 21, 2026, we also watch Cypress Cove, Saraceno and Villa Grande, and we act quickly when a match appears.
We ask what you want the home to do: a full-time home, a seasonal home, a place for visitors or a rental where the village's rules allow it. Then we match the size group and the club tier, and we describe the home, never who should live in it.
Grandezza is gated, and showings go through the master's visitor procedure, which we handle. We bring the closings of the same size group to every tour, so you see the ask against the record.
A listing that has waited past 90 days is where the record shows the most room: seven such sales in 24 months closed at a median 96.2% of list, against 96.8% for the rest. We watch for them and tell you when a price change opens a window.
We negotiate for you in Savona by pricing the offer from the closings of the size you want, using the review windows, weighing credits against price and setting the deposit and closing date so that your protections stay intact. Eleven of Savona's 12 closings in the last 12 months came in below the final ask.
The 11 closings under list in the last 12 months averaged about $27,700 below their final asks, and all 12 ranged from 92.0% to 100.0% of list. We use those figures to tell you what an ask really says, and we show you the comparable set before you decide.
You have an inspection period, an estoppel review and, if the disclosure summary was late, a 3-day statutory cancellation right. We time them so that you can walk away or renegotiate with full information.
A credit at closing leaves the recorded price alone and can offset a roof or air-conditioning cost. A price cut lowers the price you finance and your basis. Which is better depends on your lender and appraisal, and we run both.
We set the deposit, the inspection period and the closing date to leave time for the estoppel, which the association has 10 business days to deliver, and for the insurance quote.
The rules that decide whether a Savona home works for you are the master association's gate, pet, parking, sign and trash rules, plus the neighborhood association's leasing, approval and architectural rules, which are not published. Ask for both sets in writing before you offer.
The master association says the main gate on Ben Hill Griffin Parkway is the only entrance for guests and contractors, because most GPS applications route drivers to the Savona gate, which causes backups and damage to gate equipment. Tailgating an unregistered visitor is prohibited, with RFID suspension of up to 90 days.
The master association's Access Control page says renters are granted a guest pass for the duration of their stay and can buy an RFID tag for stays over 30 days. The village's own minimum lease term, frequency limit and approval process are not published. We publish no short-term rental rule, and a buyer planning any stay shorter than a month should treat it as not permitted until the association confirms otherwise in writing.
Pets must be leashed outside the home and owners must clean up after them. Golf cart paths are for golfers only, and dog walking on them is not permitted. No signs may be posted unless approved in writing, no vehicles may be parked on the street overnight and garage doors are kept closed except for entry and exit. Trash and recycling go out Wednesday in a hard container, placed curbside no earlier than 6 p.m. Tuesday.
We found no age restriction in any source we read, including the master association's site and the state's corporate record, and we describe the property, not who may live in it. Federal fair housing law lets qualifying communities restrict occupancy to those 55 and older, and a community that has not adopted the required policies is not one. We check the declaration for any occupancy limit before a client offers.
Assistance animals for a person with a disability are handled under federal fair housing rules regardless of an association's pet policy, per the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Savona is the right fit if a single-family home built 2004 to 2007, inside gated Grandezza with one neighborhood association and a $650,000 to $700,000 price range, matches your plans. It is a weaker fit if you need published fees, a village pool or a lot view we can document, because the public record does not provide them.
Savona offers 169 single-family homes on the Grande Oak East plat, access to The Club at Grandezza through its membership system, the master association's tennis, dining, fitness center, community pools and 24 lakes, and a location near Interstate 75 Exit 123, Miromar Outlets and a Publix.
Weigh the age of the roof and systems, the three unpublished fee layers, the rental and pet rules you have not seen, the declaration behind a login and Corkscrew Road construction near the eastern entrance through 2026. Those are the honest negatives.
Approximate drive times from the main gate at Exit 123, collected in our earlier research: Publix at the Shoppes at Grande Oak 1 to 3 minutes, Miromar Outlets 2 to 4, Florida Gulf Coast University 5 to 8, Coconut Point 8 to 12, the Lee Health Coconut Point emergency department 10 to 12, Southwest Florida International Airport about 15, Bonita Beach about 20. Add the internal drive from a Savona street.
Savona 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. Lee County sets enrollment through the district, so confirm current options for a specific address.

A Savona specialist matters for a buyer because the village's price reads differently by size, its fees stack in three layers and its paperwork sits behind logins. Marc Comisar and Jesse McGreevy have read the closings, the plat, the state register and the master association's public pages, and we tell you plainly what we could not read.
Marc runs the search, the tours, the negotiation and the walk-through. Read his profile at Marc Comisar.
Jesse has been in Southwest Florida real estate since October 2004 and runs the data, the document review and the closing paperwork. Read his profile at Jesse McGreevy.

Start with our free home valuation. We follow up with a written comparable set. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, text or call. Confidential conversations welcome.
Buying instead? Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and see how we represent buyers in Southwest Florida.
Yes. We line up the estoppel for the sale, the inspection period on the purchase and, where it helps, a rent-back after closing. Ask us about the sequence that fits your calendar.
It depends on your cash, your lender and your risk. In a one-listing market like Savona, buyers who are ready first have the advantage, so we often prepare the sale while we search.
We recommend it. Your net proceeds set your budget, and the valuation tells you what they are before you make an offer.
We negotiate a rent-back or a longer closing where we can, and we keep watching Savona, Cypress Cove and the neighboring villages so that you can move quickly.
You pay the listing commission on the sale, negotiated with the listing brokerage, and any compensation to your buyer's agent under your written buyer agreement, which is negotiable. We put both in writing.
Florida's homestead assessment limit can be carried to a new homestead in some cases, and a new owner's assessment can reset at sale. See Section 193.155, Florida Statutes, and ask the Lee County Property Appraiser about portability.
These are the questions buyers ask most about Savona homes for sale, the association and club fees and living in Grandezza in Estero, answered from the records cited below. Each answer names Savona and points to the section that holds the detail. Where a record is not public, the answer says so.
Savona is a single-family neighborhood of 169 homes inside Grandezza, a gated golf and country club community in Estero, Florida. It was built between 2004 and 2007 and is Grandezza's largest village and the newest of its villages with more than 100 homes.
No. This page covers Savona at Grandezza Neighborhood Association, Inc. in Estero, Lee County, ZIP 33928. Savona Bay is a replat in Fort Myers, Savona at Hammock Dunes is a condominium association in Palm Coast, and other Savona names on the state register are unrelated corporations.
In the 24 months to October 21, 2026, 24 MLS closings ran from $562,500 to $870,000 at a $660,000 median. In the last 12 months, 12 closed from $562,500 to $870,000 at a $651,000 median.
Look at the smaller size groups, under about 2,100 square feet, where 30 sales in 60 months closed from $562,500 to $825,000, and at homes that have sat for more than 90 days, which closed at a median 96.2% of list in 24 months.
Down from 2023. The MLS median was $765,000 in 2023 (n = 5), $660,000 in 2025 (n = 12) and $651,000 in 2026 to date (n = 8). Small samples describe direction, not a rate.
It is tight on choice and slow on overpriced homes: about 3.0 months of supply on three listings, and 11 of the 12 closings came in under list, at a median of 96.8%.
Your lender sets it. At $650,000, about the median, 3 percent is $19,500, 10 percent is $65,000 and 20 percent is $130,000. Cash needed at closing is more than the down payment.
There are three layers: the neighborhood association's assessment, the master association's assessment, and the club's compulsory social membership for residents without a higher tier. None is published as a Savona figure on the public pages we read; the estoppel states the association's numbers.
The association's declaration and budget say, and both sit behind an owner login. In a single-family village the neighborhood dues usually cover common areas and reserves, and the master assessment covers gates, roads and shared drainage, but we confirm the list on the estoppel for each home.
Our community research found no Community Development District for Grandezza on Lee County's list, so no CDD bond line should appear on the tax bill, which we confirm on each parcel's bill.
You do not have to join for golf, but the club states that social memberships are compulsory for all Grandezza residents who do not hold a higher membership level. Golf, sports and other tiers are optional.
The club's public pages state no dues or initiation schedule, so we quote no figure. Ask the club's membership office in writing before you offer.
Our community research describes a non-equity structure. Ask the club in writing how a membership ends or transfers at sale.
We infer a homeowners association from the county's single-family coding, the name Neighborhood Association and the title Declaration of Neighborhood Covenants, and we have not read the declaration. If it said otherwise, the condominium sections on this page would change.
If Savona is a homeowners association, the Section 720.401 disclosure summary before signing, plus the tax and flood disclosures. We also ask for the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, budget and estoppel before your inspection period ends.
Yes. If the Section 720.401 summary was not delivered before you signed, you may cancel within 3 days after receiving it or before closing, whichever comes first. The right cannot be waived.
A certificate from the association stating what is owed on the home, any capital, resale or transfer fee, whether board approval is needed and whether a right of first refusal exists. The association must issue it within 10 business days of a written or electronic request.
That depends on the village declaration, which we have not read. The estoppel form asks whether board approval is required. Ask the manager for the current procedure.
The master association's gate rules give renters a guest pass for their stay, but the neighborhood association's minimum lease term, frequency limit and approval process are not public. Ask the manager in writing before you buy for rental.
We found no published rule allowing them, so treat stays under a month as not permitted until the association says otherwise in writing. Any short-term rental that is allowed carries Florida transient rental tax obligations.
The master association requires pets to be leashed outside the home and owners to clean up after them, and it bars dog walking on golf cart paths. The neighborhood association's own limits are not published; get them in writing before your offer.
Yes. Grandezza is gated, and the main gate on Ben Hill Griffin Parkway is the only entrance for guests and contractors. Savona has its own resident gate, and GPS often sends visitors there in error.
At three points geocoded to Savona's streets, FEMA maps Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, outside the special flood hazard area. Check the exact address on the FEMA Map Service Center, because a map reading is not a survey.
A lender does not require it on a Zone X map reading alone, though a lender or insurer may, and any owner can buy it. New flood policies have a 30-day waiting period.
We hold no Savona premium or availability data. Roof age and wind mitigation features drive the quote, so get a quote on the exact address before the inspection period ends.
We hold no Savona-specific damage or flood record and do not say the village was undamaged. Grandezza is inland, east of Interstate 75, where Ian's worst surge fell on the coast and islands; Lee County still places it in Evacuation Zone D, storm surge zone 4, so it can still be ordered out in a stronger storm.
No condominium building rules apply to a single-family parcel, and Savona's parcels are coded single-family. Ask the association for its reserve schedule.
The roof, air-conditioning system, water heater, plumbing, windows and doors, any pool or screen enclosure and the permits for each. The homes were built 2004 to 2007, so the systems are about 20 years old unless replaced.
They depend on the Lee County assessment, exemptions and millage for the year. We do not quote a figure for Savona. Your first bill can differ from the seller's when the assessment and exemptions change.
In Lee County the seller customarily pays doc stamps and the owner's title policy, and the contract controls. You pay your lender's charges, the lender's title policy, deed recording and the state's taxes on your mortgage.
Yes. Since August 17, 2024, a buyer signs a written agreement with the agent before touring, and the agreement states the compensation and that it is negotiable.
Compensation is negotiated and stated in the written agreement. A seller may agree to pay some or all of it, or you may pay it at closing.
Possibly, subject to the lender's underwriting and the property's appraisal. Ask your lender early about the association documents.
Florida Housing and local programs offer help to eligible first-time buyers, subject to income and price limits. Ask a lender to confirm eligibility at your price.
Savona has more homes (169 against 115), one association instead of two, a later build (2004 to 2007 against 2001 to 2005) and a lower 36-month median ($699,900 against $766,250). See our Cypress Cove guide and the decision table above.
Yes. A cash buyer skips the appraisal and lender review but not the estoppel, disclosures or inspection.
Your contract sets the date. Build in time for the inspection, the estoppel, which the association has 10 business days to deliver, the insurance quote and your lender's process.
Yes. We tour by video, coordinate the inspection and handle the gate procedure, and the closing can often be done remotely.
We found no age restriction described in any source we read, including the master association's site and the state's corporate record. We check the declaration for any occupancy limit before a client offers.
No. The roll's year built runs 2004 to 2007 and every sale in the record is a resale.
Savona 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 sets enrollment through the district, so confirm current options for the specific address.
Not that we found in the public record. The recorded amenities are Grandezza's: the club, its pool and courts, and the master association's shared grounds.
Ask for the estoppel, the declaration, rules, budget and reserve schedule; the roof and air-conditioning ages; the club's current dues; lease and pet rules; and whether any special assessment is planned. Marc runs that list on every buyer's behalf.

These are the questions owners ask most when they sell one home to buy in Savona, answered from the record and the shared closing-cost research. Each answer names Savona. For the number on your current home, use the free home valuation or Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
Value it, gather the documents, list at a price fitted to the closings and time the two closings. Our Savona seller guide shows the steps.
Often yes, because a one-listing market moves quickly, but it depends on your cash and risk. We plan both sides together.
You can propose it, but a Savona seller may prefer a clean offer, so we discuss the trade-offs before you make it.
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; ask yours.
Florida's homestead assessment limit can be carried to a new homestead in some cases. See Section 193.155, Florida Statutes, and ask the Lee County Property Appraiser.
In Lee County the seller customarily pays doc stamps at $0.70 per $100 and the owner's title policy, plus commission, which is negotiable, the estoppel if it is an association home and prorations. The contract controls.
The seller or the closing agent requests it from your association, which must issue it within 10 business days if it is a homeowners association home under Section 720.30851.
Often yes, by agreement in the contract. We negotiate the term and the terms of occupancy.
We line up the dates, the estoppels and the movers, and we plan for a gap if one closing slips.
Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or Jesse at (239) 898-6072, and we will answer it or tell you which record would.

Savona facts on this page rest on primary sources: Grandezza's master association and club, Florida state records, Lee County and Village of Estero records, FEMA and federal sources. Parcel and sale facts come from the Lee County Property Appraiser's 2026 roll and from the Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 21, 2026 by McGreevy and Comisar. No listing portal is cited.
Savona's key documents are published by the state, the county, the Village, FEMA and the federal government, and the table links each to its issuing authority. The recorded Savona declaration is held by the Lee County Clerk's official records, and the Savona association's own governing documents and budget sit behind an owner login.
