Buy a home in Summercrest with McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% nationally since 2008. We check the builder contract, deposits, fees, flood and warranty before you sign, and name you as represented first. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873.
By Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, Domain Realty. Updated September 2026.
Buying at Summercrest means signing a contract with Toll Brothers for a townhome that is unfinished or not yet started, in a community that opened for sale in September 2026 and has no closings, no recorded declaration you can read online and an association fee known only from the builder's own MLS entry. This buyer guide sits beside our full Summercrest community guide and covers the buyer's side of the table: the builder contract, deposits, walk-throughs, warranty and the CDD that is not there. To see how we represent buyers elsewhere in Estero, read our guides to buying in Estero, buying in Meadows of Estero and buying in Lakes of Estero, and to compare agents, read our guide to the best real estate agents in Estero.

McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor for a Summercrest buyer because Summercrest has no closed sales to price from, so the only defensible advice comes from reading the builder's price sheets, the first MLS records, the recorded entitlement documents and the nearest comparable townhome resales. We are the #1 Team in Southwest Florida since 2012, and Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008.
Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar represent you, not the builder. A builder's sales consultant represents Toll Brothers, and on a new construction contract with no comparable sales that asymmetry matters more than it does on a resale. We lead Domain Realty Group, and as the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has sold over $2.5 billion in real estate across Southwest Florida, with over $900 million in personal sales between Jesse and Marc.
Summercrest market record (Southwest Florida MLS pull, October 21, 2026): 0 closed sales in the trailing 12, 24, 36 and 60 months · 5 active listings asking $599,000 to $830,000 · a median 30 days on market. Lee County recorded sales: 0 qualified sales across 168 recorded parcels, meaning 153 townhome lots and 15 common-area tracts, index as of September 27, 2026 [Source: Lee County parcel service]. We track no buyer representation count at Summercrest, because nothing has closed, and we publish none.
For Summercrest buyers: a named agent on the record from your first contact, a read of the contract before you sign, a lot and option strategy, honest numbers on the fee stack and quiet leverage when the builder's price sheet moves.
Honors and recognition:
Those are career honors across Lee and Collier County. What we claim about Summercrest is narrower and checkable: we have read the ordinance, the plat, the Articles of Incorporation, the millage book, the builder's price sheets and the first MLS records, and we bring all of it to the table before you register.

Buying at Summercrest takes an agent named on your first visit, a choice between a quick move in home and a build to order home, a lot among the 25 released home sites, a sales agreement and deposit, structural and design selections, a 6 to 12 month build for build to order homes and a closing with the builder. You can do all of it with your own agent.
A quick move in home is finished or under construction with its options already chosen, and Toll Brothers listed seven on September 16, 2026, targeted for December 2026 and January 2027. A build to order home starts from a base price on a lot you choose, and the builder's general guidance is six to twelve months from contract [Source: Toll Brothers corporate FAQ].
Toll Brothers says a buyer does not need a real estate agent, and asks that an agent accompany the buyer on the first visit so it knows how to help. It also says it cooperates with brokers and that commission amounts vary by community. The builder does not represent you, and we do [Source: Toll Brothers corporate FAQ].
The Summercrest registration policy, the deposit amounts, the completion commitment in the contract, the lot premium schedule, the option price list and the recorded declaration are not public. We list each as an open question before you sign, and we do not fill the gap with a plausible number.
Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 before you register, or start with our buyer consultation for Summercrest. We will tell you honestly what is still possible if you have already visited.
We track the Summercrest market for a buyer through four sources: the builder's own price sheets and counters, the Southwest Florida MLS, Lee County's recorded sales and the nearest comparable Estero townhome closings. As of October 21, 2026 the MLS shows five active listings and no closings, and the county shows no qualified sales.
Data updated: September 2026
On September 16, 2026, the builder's own community record showed 25 home sites available, 1 reserved, 119 not yet released, 8 quick move in site plan lots and 0 sold or closed. Those six counters add up to exactly 153, the recorded lot count. Only about one in six home sites had been released [Source: Toll Brothers Summercrest community page].
The MLS pull of October 21, 2026 returned five active Summercrest listings, 0 closed sales in 12, 24, 36 and 60 months and 0 sold data entry records. Under our stats-window rule we widen the window until a community has 10 closings, and here it never does, so we show individual homes instead of a median [Source: Southwest Florida MLS, Matrix, pulled October 21, 2026].
Our search of Lee County's recorded, Department of Revenue qualified sales matched all 168 Summercrest parcels, which agrees with the 153 lots and 15 tracts the community page states, and found 0 sales, 0 builder-direct and 0 resale, through the index date of September 27, 2026 [Source: Lee County Property Appraiser sales data].
A buyer who signs at a builder's sales center and closes there produces no listing and no recorded sale price in the system agents search. That is why a new-construction median cannot be quoted for Estero, and why a buyer needs someone who knows what closed without ever being listed.
The Summercrest market for buyers right now is a builder market: one seller, 25 released home sites, seven quick move in homes at $664,000 to $852,000 on September 16, 2026, five MLS listings at $599,000 to $830,000 on October 21 and asking prices cut on all four listings that were active on both our September 29 and October 21 pulls. Buyer leverage comes from quick move in inventory and incentives, not from comparables.
Data updated: October 2026
| MLS number | Living area | Beds and baths | List price | Price per sq ft | Days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026044359 | 2,395 sq ft | 4 bed, 3.5 bath | $830,000 | $346.56 | 0 |

| 2026040543 | 1,944 sq ft | 3 bed, 2.5 bath | $599,000 | $308.13 | 26 |
The median list price is $775,000. Price per square foot is our arithmetic on list price and MLS living area. The Gardener at 9032 Summercrest Boulevard, MLS 2026038404, asked $664,000 on September 16, $629,000 on September 29 and $611,000 on October 21, a $53,000, or 8.0 percent, reduction. All four listings that were active on both September 29 and October 21 cut their asking price in those three weeks: $852,000 to $797,000, $829,000 to $775,000, $629,000 to $611,000 and $619,000 to $599,000, reductions of $18,000 to $55,000, or 2.9 to 6.5 percent. MLS 2026039237, the 2,395 square foot home that asked $843,000 on September 29, is not active, pending or closed in the October 21 pull, and a new 2,395 square foot listing, MLS 2026044359 at 21250 Estiva Villa Circle, asks $830,000; the export does not show whether it is the same home relisted. [Source: Southwest Florida MLS, Matrix, pulled October 21, 2026].
One reduction is a data point, not a trend. It tells a buyer that the builder negotiates on inventory homes, and it is a reason to ask what incentive applies to the specific home on the day you write a contract. Builder promotions come and go on short cycles and carry their own eligibility rules.
In our September 16, 2026 pull, 166 Estero attached homes closed at a $363,250 median in the prior 365 days, with a median 56 days on market and a 96.41 percent median sale-to-list ratio against the list price of record. There were 43 active listings, about 3.1 months of supply, up from about 2.8 a month earlier [Source: Summercrest community guide].
Summercrest has 153 homes, 25 released at opening and none closed, so the first buyers have leverage only if they are represented from the first contact.

The nearest comparable townhome resales in our October 21, 2026 MLS pull are eight closings in Heatherstone (Rookery Pointe) and Lost Creek Village (The Vines), at $185,000 to $390,000 with a $310,000 median and a median $169.98 per square foot in our arithmetic. They are decades older than Summercrest, and they show a buyer what resale attached product costs.
Data updated: October 2026
| MLS number | Neighborhood | Beds and baths | Living area | Sold price | Sold date | Days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Heatherstone's four sales have a $313,500 median and Lost Creek Village's four a $272,500 median [Source: Southwest Florida MLS, Matrix, pulled October 21, 2026; Rookery Pointe community guide; The Vines community guide].
The new home is a different product: newer code, a warranty, no deferred maintenance and a higher price. The size matched attached median from our September 16 pull, 36 closings at $397,500, is the fairest single benchmark, and Summercrest's median base price is $212,495 above it. The price premium is real, and whether it is worth paying is your decision, made with the numbers in front of you.
Mirasol at Coconut Point, a smaller attached community with buildings dating to 2008, had 8 closings in the same pull at a $348,750 median and $238.87 per square foot, with 9 active listings. It is the closest newer-townhome benchmark in the pull, and its per foot price is well below Summercrest's asking range [Source: Southwest Florida MLS, Matrix, pulled October 21, 2026].
Summercrest's eight plans cost $549,995 for the 1,944 square foot Hines to $699,995 for the 2,570 square foot Bismarck Elite at base price, observed September 16, 2026, and the seven quick move in homes ran $664,000 to $852,000 with options included. Base price, quick move in price and delivered price are three different numbers.
Data updated: September 2026
| Plan | Living area | Beds and baths | Garage | Primary suite | Base price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hines | 1,944 sq ft | 3 bed, 2.5 bath | 1 car | Second floor | $549,995 |

The median quick move in price is $773,000, and the homes sit a median 25.6 percent above their plans' base prices. The amount above base is our arithmetic, and move in dates are builder targets, not contract terms [Source: Toll Brothers Summercrest community page].
Three plans have a one car garage and five have two, which matters more here than in a detached community. Only the Mandarin, Mandarin Elite and Bismarck Elite put the primary suite on the first floor. Every plan has one Mediterranean elevation, so personalization happens indoors and through structural options. A fourth bedroom is a structural option, not a plan.
Summercrest's median asking price per square foot, $319.98, sits well above measured Estero attached resale and above the detached homes at Belle Lago, 1.6 miles north. Builder base prices have a median $609,995 against a $397,500 size matched attached resale median, while Belle Lago's 21 closings in our October 21, 2026 pull had a $905,000 median at $285.54 per square foot.
Data updated: October 2026

| Belle Lago | 447 detached homes | 21 closings, October 21 pull | $905,000 | $285.54 |
The builder's base and the MLS listings are asking prices, and the rest are closed prices. Belle Lago is detached and larger, so the comparison is about per foot pricing, not about substitutes [Source: Southwest Florida MLS, Matrix, pulled October 21, 2026; Summercrest community guide].
You are paying a premium for a 2026 home, and the table shows how large it is. It does not show whether the premium is justified, because the market that would test it, new construction sold and closed at the sales center, is largely invisible to the MLS. That is the conversation to have with your own agent before you sit down at a sales table.
Summercrest and Kingston both sell new construction on Corkscrew Road, and a buyer touring one usually tours the other. Choose Summercrest for a 153-home gated townhome community inside the Village of Estero with no CDD, and Kingston for a choice of builders and home types in a master plan approved for 10,000 dwelling units, with a CDD. Neither has a closed sale.
Data updated: September 2026
| Decision point | Summercrest | Kingston |
|---|---|---|
| Homes and size | 153 fee simple townhomes, eight plans | Approved for 10,000 dwelling units; villas, executive, manor and estate homes, single-family homes and condominiums |

Our October 21, 2026 MLS pull adds the Fort Myers map area that holds part of Kingston, so every Kingston listing on the MLS is counted; homes a builder sells off the MLS are not [Source: Southwest Florida MLS, Matrix, pulled October 21, 2026; Kingston community guide].
Consider Summercrest if you want a gated townhome community about a third of a mile from US 41 with no CDD and a builder-entered fee of $272 a month, and you accept that the amenity centre is not built and the board is builder controlled. Consider Kingston if you want a choice of builders and product, a lower published entry price and a large master plan, and you accept a CDD line, unpublished master dues and a location about 12 miles east of I-75.
On September 26, 2026, Taylor Morrison's Esplanade at Kingston page showed quick move in homes marked down $50,000 to $95,000 from earlier list prices, plus a month-end purchase credit. Incentives change weekly, and we compare them with what Toll Brothers offers on the day you buy [Source: Kingston community guide].
The steps to buy at Summercrest follow Toll Brothers' five-phase process: choose a home and home site and sign the sales agreement with a deposit, design at the studio, build, get ready and close. With us, step zero comes first: your agent is named on the record before your first sales center visit.
Toll Brothers says registration happens when an agent accompanies the client on the first visit, and it asks that an agent come along. If you visit or inquire alone, your ability to add representation later can be limited or lost. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873, and we will meet you at the sales center at 21254 Estiva Villa Circle [Source: Toll Brothers corporate FAQ].
The builder released 25 home sites at opening and had 119 not yet released on September 16, 2026, so your lot choice is among the released sites plus the quick move in homes. Toll Brothers says most regions offer a limited-time reservation period that may require a financing questionnaire, and it does not publish the Summercrest terms, so we ask [Source: Toll Brothers Summercrest community page].
Structural options are selected with the sales consultant before the design studio appointment, because they change the construction drawings. Design selections follow at the Toll Brothers Southwest Florida Design Studio at 24201 Walden Center Drive, Suite 104, Bonita Springs, a 5,000 square foot studio. A buyer who arrives at the studio wanting a structural item has usually arrived too late [Source: Toll Brothers Design Studio, Bonita Springs].
Toll Brothers describes a sales agreement and a sales deposit in its Choose phase and design deposits in its Design phase. It does not publish Summercrest deposit amounts, so we obtain the deposit schedule, the refund terms and the completion commitment before you sign.
The builder describes a construction kick-off meeting, weekly calls and a room-by-room home orientation, then financing finalization and a closing contact about four to six weeks before closing. Its general guidance is that a build takes six to twelve months, and a quick move in home's target is December 2026 or January 2027, a target, not a contract term [Source: Toll Brothers corporate FAQ].
A Summercrest buyer should expect a sales agreement, a sales deposit at signing, design deposits later, a builder-written contract with a completion window, price escalation and assignment terms, and the Chapter 720 disclosure summary before signing. The amounts and terms for Summercrest are not published, and we do not guess at them.
Known: Toll Brothers describes a sales deposit and design deposits, and it says a home site reservation period may apply. Not known: any Summercrest deposit amount, whether deposits are refundable at each stage, what the completion commitment is, how price changes are handled and what the assignment and resale terms say. We make each an open question.
A builder's agreement favors the builder on delivery dates, allowances, substitutions and dispute resolution. We read it with you, mark what is negotiable, and tell you what is not, before you sign. The purchase agreement is not a public document, so no website, including ours, can tell you what yours says.
Ask whether your deposit is held in escrow, what happens to it if the builder misses the completion window or if your financing fails, and whether an inspection period exists on a home that is not yet built. Get the answers in writing before the deposit leaves your account.
Ask how the contract treats price changes after signing, substitutions of materials and delivery delays. The builder's move in dates are targets, and the contract, not the brochure, decides what a delay costs you.
Before you sign the Toll Brothers contract at Summercrest, ask nine questions in writing: the adopted budget behind the $272 fee, what each one time charge funds, who insures and replaces the roof, whether the association carries a master policy, whether impact glass is standard, the finished floor elevation, the leasing and pet rules, the released lots and premiums, and the registration and completion terms.
The roof and insurance questions carry the highest dollar risk in any townhome community and are the most common source of assessment disputes. The fee and one time charges are the only association numbers in the public record, and both are builder entries. The lot and premium questions decide whether you pay for a view or an arterial wall.
A verbal answer at a sales center does not bind the builder. We ask for the estimated operating budget, the option price list and the completion commitment in writing, and we tell you which answers are still missing when you are asked to sign.
At Summercrest the builder describes a construction kick-off meeting and a room-by-room home orientation, and we add your own inspections: a pre-drywall inspection, a final inspection before closing and a walk-through near the end of the first warranty year. New does not mean flawless, and the builder's orientation is not an independent inspection.
Toll Brothers describes a room-by-room home orientation guided by its construction team. It is a demonstration of your home's systems, and a useful one, and it is led by the party that built the house. We attend it with you.
A pre-drywall inspection shows framing, block, connectors and rough-ins before they are covered, and a final inspection checks the finished home. Both cost little compared with the purchase, and nothing in the builder's process removes your ability to inspect. Schedule them in the contract before you need them.
The builder's warranty covers materials and workmanship for one year, so a walk-through near month ten or eleven, with a written punch list to the builder, uses the broadest coverage before it ends. We put it on your calendar at closing.
Toll Brothers says its blueprints and construction documents are proprietary and not provided to the public, so your inspector works from the home, the permit file and the plan pages the builder makes available. Ask early what documents you will receive.
The Toll Brothers warranty is a limited home warranty on a one, two and ten structure beginning at closing: one year on materials and workmanship, two years on mechanical systems including heating, cooling, water heater, electrical and plumbing, and ten years structural. The Florida-specific booklet was not available when we researched this page, so ask for it before you sign.
One year covers finishes and workmanship, two years covers the systems behind the walls and ten years covers the structure. The booklet defines what counts in each category and what is excluded, and its terms, not the summary, govern any claim [Source: Toll Brothers home care and warranty portal].
Ask for the actual Florida warranty booklet, the claims process, the response times and whether the warranty transfers to a later buyer. Requests go through the builder's warranty portal, and we keep a record of every request you make in the first year.
Toll Brothers says it does not offer renovation services after a home is complete. Anything you want changed after closing is your own project, which is one reason structural options are chosen before construction.
Florida gives a Summercrest buyer the section 720.401 disclosure summary before the contract is signed, supplied by the developer when the developer sells, and a three-day cancellation right if it is late. It also gives the property tax disclosure under section 689.261 and the flood disclosure under section 689.302. Summercrest is a Chapter 720 community, so the condominium rules do not apply.
The summary states that membership is mandatory, that recorded covenants govern use and that assessments are owed and may change. It must be presented before you execute the contract, and if it is not, you may cancel within 3 days after receipt or before closing, whichever comes first, a right that cannot be waived [Source: Section 720.401, Florida Statutes].
Summercrest Property Owners Association, Inc. (Florida document N26000002858) is a not-for-profit corporation whose Articles cite sections 720.303 and 720.307 and no condominium statute, over 153 platted fee simple lots. The condominium milestone inspection and reserve study rules do not reach it, and neither does Florida's condominium insurance scheme, so the declaration decides who insures the building [Source: Articles of Incorporation, Florida Division of Corporations].
Chapter 720 gives less statutory protection on reserve funding than a condominium buyer gets, because reserves are required only where the developer established them or the members vote to. Whether Toll Brothers is establishing statutory reserves at Summercrest is not published, so we read the estimated budget rather than assume.
Section 689.261 warns that the seller's current taxes are not a forecast of yours, which at a new-construction community means the vacant-land bill tells you nothing. Section 689.302 requires the flood disclosure at or before contract, and we add the FEMA panel, the revision case and the evacuation zone to your file [Source: Section 689.261, Florida Statutes].
Summercrest has no community development district because it was entitled and platted as a 21.3602 acre townhome community with a homeowners' association, and Lee County's own roster of 45 special districts does not list it. The parcel's taxing district, District 316, has twelve authorities and no CDD, MSTU or MSBU, so a buyer sees one tax bill and one HOA line.
Data updated: September 2026
We checked the county's roster of 45 districts, which does not include Summercrest, and the parcel's own taxing district, which lists twelve authorities and none of them a CDD. The adjacent district page in the same millage book carries real MSTU rows, which is the control that makes the absence meaningful [Source: Lee County special districts roster].
There is no separate bond assessment on the tax bill, no district board and no CDD disclosure to read. On the Corkscrew corridor, where CDD communities are common, the absence shortens the fee stack, and Kingston's proposed CDD assessments of $1,244.68 to $2,563.83 in Assessment Area One show what that line can cost elsewhere.
The association still maintains private streets, gates, a lake with two fountains, two detention basins, perimeter walls and two donated public parks, all funded by assessments the builder controls until turnover. No CDD does not mean no infrastructure cost, and the $272 monthly figure is the number to test.
A Summercrest owner pays ad valorem property tax at 12.9712 mills for 2026, a solid waste assessment of $348.75 to $366.39 a year, and an HOA fee the builder entered as $272 a month, with $3,015 in one time fees at closing and no CDD. On a $664,000 home without homestead that is about $12,246 a year before insurance.
Data updated: September 2026
Lee County District 316 levies 12.9712 mills for 2026 across twelve authorities (13.0214 in 2025). New construction resets the assessment to the purchase price, so a first-year bill is about 1.30 percent of price. At $550,000 that is $7,134.16 without homestead and $6,606.51 with it, and at $700,000 it is $9,079.84 and $8,552.19, plus solid waste [Source: Lee County Property Appraiser 2025 Taxing District Millage Book].
On a $664,000 home, ad valorem tax is about $8,612.88, solid waste about $368.94 and the HOA fee $3,264, about $12,246 a year, or about $1,020 a month, before insurance and principal and interest. With full homestead the total is about $11,718. Add $3,015 in one time fees at closing.
Homestead must be applied for by March 1 and you must own and occupy on January 1 of that year, so a mid-year closing usually pays a non homesteaded first bill. If you hold Florida homestead elsewhere, Save Our Homes portability may carry accumulated savings to the new home when you file the transfer form with your application [Source: PT-112 portability guide, Florida Department of Revenue].
The amenity centre once built, the lake and detention system, 4.23 acres of private street, two gates, perimeter walls and roughly 195 trees and palms, the trail system and two donated public parks in perpetuity. The builder's number is a floor, not a promise, and the adopted budget is the document to read.
We publish no premium, because no authoritative community figure exists. A 2026 code block home with a new roof and code required opening protection should qualify for windstorm mitigation credits by construction, and we recommend quotes before you sign, not before closing [Source: Section 627.0629, Florida Statutes].
Buyer closing costs at Summercrest are the lender's fees, the mortgage's intangible tax and note stamps if you finance, recording of the deed, prepaid taxes and insurance, and the $3,015 in one time association fees the builder entered. Who pays the owner's title policy in a builder sale is set by the contract, not by Lee County resale custom.
Data updated: September 2026
This is an illustration, not a quote. On a $664,000 purchase with a 20 percent down payment of $132,800 and a $531,200 mortgage, the nonrecurring intangible tax at $0.002 per dollar is $1,062.40, and documentary stamps on the note at $0.35 per $100 are $1,859.20. Recording the deed costs about $18.50 to $35.50, the clerk's statutory fee [Source: Nonrecurring intangible tax, Florida Department of Revenue].
In a Lee County resale, the seller customarily pays the owner's title policy and picks the closing agent. A builder contract usually names its own closing arrangement, and Toll Brothers may offer incentives tied to its affiliated title or mortgage company. We read that clause and price the alternatives.
Expect prepaid homeowners insurance and property taxes, a proration of association fees and the $3,015 in one time charges the builder entered: $1,500 labeled recreation lease fee, $1,250 labeled other and $265 special assessment. We ask what each funds before we accept it as a cost of buying.
The builder's deposits, the closing funds and any option and design deposits are separate from the mortgage down payment, and they can be due months before closing on a build to order home. We map the cash calendar with you before you sign.
Since August 17, 2024, a buyer's agent must have a written agreement with the buyer before touring a home, the agreement must state the compensation conspicuously and say it is negotiable, and offers of compensation cannot be advertised on the MLS. At a builder, compensation is set by the builder's cooperation policy, which varies by community.
Before we tour a Summercrest home with you, we sign a written buyer representation agreement that states our compensation as a specific amount or rate and says it is negotiable and not set by law. We explain it before you sign, and we tell you whether the builder's cooperation offer changes what you owe [Source: Written buyer agreements 101, NAR].
Toll Brothers says it cooperates with brokers and that commission amounts vary, and it does not publish the Summercrest amount. We ask the sales office in writing and we tell you what, if anything, you would owe beyond the builder's cooperation offer [Source: What the NAR settlement means for buyers and sellers, NAR].
The builder's price is not negotiated by an agent, and its incentives are negotiated by whoever asks. A buyer with representation asks with a comparable set, a contract review and the leverage of a quick move in inventory. That is what we bring, and we say what it is worth before you sign.
You can finance a Summercrest home with the builder's affiliated lender, Toll Brothers Mortgage Company, or with any lender you choose. Federal law does not permit a builder to require its lender as a condition of sale, but it may condition an incentive on using it. Quantify the incentive, price the loan independently and compare the total cost.
Toll Brothers describes an in-house mortgage lender and a financing questionnaire in its Choose phase. Incentives tied to it, such as a rate buydown or closing cost credit, can be real, and they can be smaller than the rate difference. We convert each to dollars and compare it with an independent quote.
Current mortgage rates are published weekly by Freddie Mac in its Primary Mortgage Market Survey, and a build to order buyer needs a lock strategy for a six to twelve month build. Ask what a rate lock costs and what happens if the build runs late [Source: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey].
An appraiser has thin comparable data at Summercrest, and builder prices are asking prices. If an appraisal comes in below the contract price, ask what the contract says about the shortfall before you sign, because a build to order contract may not let you renegotiate.
We find you the right Summercrest lot and plan by matching your must-haves to the 25 released home sites and the quick move in homes, reading the builder's site plan, and telling you what each position costs you in noise, light and resale. Roughly 18 lots face the central lake, 28 back the Corkscrew Road wall and no lot faces a preserve.
Reading the builder's site plan drawing, roughly 18 of 153 lots, numbers 68 through 85, face the 1.19 acre central lake, nine on each shore. Two of the three water features are dry detention basins, so we confirm what a lot faces before we treat it as water. Ask whether any lake lot is among the released sites, because being early is how you get one [Source: Toll Brothers site plan drawing, version 4].
Lots 126 through 153 back the six foot wall and enhanced buffer along Corkscrew Road, the busiest road the site touches. That row trades quiet for what will most likely be the lowest entry pricing, and we say so plainly.
If stairs to the primary suite are a hard no, your practical choice is three of eight plans, the Mandarin, Mandarin Elite and Bismarck Elite. If two cars matter, five plans have two-car garages. If you need a fourth bedroom, ask which plans carry the additional bedroom and bath option and what it costs before you pick a lot.
Builder inventory is not off-market, but resale opportunities and unreleased lots are. We watch the MLS, builder releases and nearby resale listings so you hear about a good home before it is widely marketed.
We negotiate for a Summercrest buyer where a builder actually moves: structural option credits, design studio allowances, lot premium treatment, closing cost contributions and rate buydowns, not the base price, which is usually the least flexible item. Jesse and Marc handle the negotiation, and we use inventory listings and Kingston's incentives as leverage.
A quick move in home is finished inventory the builder wants to convert, and MLS 2026038404 moving from $664,000 to $611,000 shows prices can move. We ask what applies on the day you write, and we do not treat any advertised promotion as permanent.
On a build to order home the base price is certain and the delivered price is not until selections are done. We keep a running total of options, lot premium and studio spend, so you decide with the full number in front of you.
Kingston builders were marking quick move in homes down $50,000 to $95,000 on September 26, 2026, and a Summercrest buyer who has toured Kingston has a documented alternative. We bring that comparison to the table without making promises about how the builder will respond.
The Summercrest rules that decide whether a home works for you are the recorded declaration's leasing and pet rules, its insurance split, the assessment formula, the builder's control of the board until turnover and the perpetual duty to maintain two donated public parks. The declaration was not publicly retrievable when we researched this page.
Data updated: September 2026
Until turnover the developer holds three votes per unit and appoints a board majority, and the board alone may amend the Articles by simple majority. The earliest headline trigger is three months after 90 percent of units convey, which at 153 lots means 138 closings. There is a twenty-year outside date from recording of the declaration [Source: Articles of Incorporation, Florida Division of Corporations].
Condition 8a of Village of Estero Ordinance 2024-13 requires the West Corner Park and East Corner Park, 0.7323 acres together, to be built and donated to the Village and maintained by the applicant or its successors in perpetuity, so the duty runs to the association. The parks are open to the public and sit outside the community wall [Source: Ordinance 2024-13, Village of Estero].
Not published yet. We do not assume a Summercrest townhome can be rented or which pets are allowed, and we ask for the declaration before the inspection period ends. It is the most important document in the transaction and the one most buyers never open.
Summercrest is not age restricted. Its Articles carry no age restriction and Ordinance 2024-13 permits townhouse units with no age qualifier. The belief that it is a retirement community likely comes from the land's previous approval for a 340 bed senior living campus that was never built.
Summercrest is right for a buyer who wants a new, low-maintenance, concrete block townhome close to US 41 and the interstate with a short fee stack, and who accepts a measurable premium over older attached homes, a builder-controlled association and an unbuilt amenity centre. It is less right for a buyer who needs an adopted budget and a track record today.
Concrete block construction required by Ordinance 2024-13, a 2026 code home with code required opening protection and a new roof, all 168 parcels outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, no CDD, no club dues, and a site 0.32 miles east of US 41, 0.4 miles from a Publix and 2.4 miles from Interstate 75 Exit 123. Estero High School is 1.6 miles away.
A large measured premium over resale, an association fee known only from the builder's entry, a builder-controlled board for years, a perpetual duty to maintain two public parks, private streets on the association's budget, unbuilt amenities, one elevation on all eight plans, and Evacuation Zone A. Most lots have neither a lake view nor a Corkscrew Road wall, and the declaration is not yet public.
We describe homes, not the people who should live in them. If the home's features, price and location match what you need, and the fee stack fits your budget, it fits. If a feature you need, a first floor primary suite, a large amenity programme or a choice of elevation, is missing, we tell you.
Summercrest's flood, wind and insurance profile is favorable on paper and needs verification at closing: Zone X shaded on all 168 parcels, a 10 percent Community Rating System discount, block construction, an interpolated design wind speed of roughly 157 miles per hour and code required opening protection, in Evacuation Zone A. The zone rests on a February 2026 map revision.
FIRM panel 12071C0591H, effective November 17, 2022, as revised by Letter of Map Revision case 25-04-3811P effective February 5, 2026, places all 153 lots and 15 tracts in Zone X shaded, with no base flood elevation and no federal insurance mandate. A lender or the association may still require coverage, and we recommend it anyway. Confirm the zone at closing [Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer].
Lee County places the site in Zone A, Surge Zone 1, the first zone ordered out, near the inland edge with Zone C about a mile east. Zone X answers an insurance question and Zone A a life safety one, and a buyer who plans to be away in hurricane season should have a plan for both [Source: Lee County evacuation zones service].
The site is in the wind borne debris region, so every glazed opening must be impact rated or shuttered, and the first MLS record lists impact resistant windows and doors for lot 2. Ask for the same in writing for your home. Concrete block is required by the ordinance, and the builder publishes no party wall sound or fire rating, so ask for the assembly.
In a Chapter 720 community the declaration decides whether the association insures the building shell. Get the declaration and the insurance summary and establish where the association's coverage stops and yours begins before you commit, and whether the fee you were quoted includes a master premium.

★★★★★ "Marc is extremely knowledgeable, professional and a true pleasure to work with. He kept us informed throughout the process and went over and beyond our expectations to ensure an extremely smooth process." Verified Google review
A six to twelve month build has long quiet stretches, and staying informed through them is most of the job.
A Summercrest specialist reads the builder's price sheet, the first MLS records and the recorded documents behind a community that is not yet closed, and a generalist quotes the last comparable sale, which does not exist. We have done the reading, and we update it as prices and releases move.
The builder's price sheet and quick move in list, new MLS entries under Summercrest, Kingston's builder incentives, the county's parcel record for the first recorded sales and the association's filings with the Florida Division of Corporations.
When a number is a builder's entry and not an adopted budget, when a document is not public, when a figure does not exist and when a feature is not built. Buyers decide better with the gaps marked.

These are the questions Summercrest buyers and nearby Estero buyers ask, answered from the builder's published prices, the Southwest Florida MLS, the county record and the recorded documents. No Summercrest home has closed, so where no authoritative figure exists we say so instead of estimating.
Toll Brothers' published base prices run $549,995 to $699,995 across eight plans, and seven quick move in homes ran $664,000 to $852,000 on September 16, 2026. Five are active in the MLS on October 21, 2026 at $599,000 to $830,000. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 for the current sheet.
No. The MLS shows 0 closed Summercrest sales in any window and Lee County shows 0 qualified sales across 168 parcels, index as of September 27, 2026. We do not publish a Summercrest median, because none exists.
No, but the builder's sales consultant represents the builder. Toll Brothers says registration happens when an agent accompanies you on your first visit, so bring us before you register. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873.
The builder entered $272 a month, $3,264 a year, on its first MLS listing. It is a builder entry, not an adopted budget, and we ask for the budget behind it before you sign.
The first MLS record shows $3,015 in one time fees: $1,500 labeled recreation lease fee, $1,250 labeled other and $265 special assessment. We ask what each one funds.
No. Summercrest is not on Lee County's roster of 45 special districts, and its taxing district lists twelve authorities with no CDD, MSTU or MSBU.
The 2026 millage rate is 12.9712 and new construction resets the assessment to the price. At $700,000 the first year ad valorem tax is about $9,079.84 without homestead and $8,552.19 with it, plus solid waste.
All 168 parcels are in FEMA Zone X shaded under panel 12071C0591H as revised by case 25-04-3811P effective February 5, 2026. The site is also in Lee County Evacuation Zone A, so plan for both.
The builder describes gated access with two unmanned gated entries, and the streets are private. Confirm what the association will maintain and how gate access is managed before you commit.
No. Its Articles carry no age restriction and Ordinance 2024-13 permits townhouse units with no age qualifier.
Not established. Leasing rules live in the recorded declaration, which was not public when we researched this page, so we ask for it before you sign.
Toll Brothers describes a limited warranty of one year on materials and workmanship, two years on mechanical systems and ten years structural. The Florida booklet governs, and we ask for it before contract.
Toll Brothers' general guidance is six to twelve months for a build to order home. Quick move in homes carried December 2026 and January 2027 targets, which are targets, not contract terms.
Toll Brothers describes a sales deposit and design deposits but does not publish Summercrest amounts. We obtain the schedule and the refund terms before you sign.
The contract decides. Lee County resale custom puts the owner's policy on the seller, but a builder contract usually names its own closing arrangement, so we read that clause.
Federal law does not let a builder require its lender as a condition of sale, but a builder may attach an incentive to using it. We convert the incentive to dollars and compare it with an independent quote.
Since August 17, 2024, we sign a written buyer agreement before touring, and our compensation is stated and negotiable. Builder cooperation is set by the builder, and we ask what it is.
Nine things: the budget behind the $272 fee, the one time charges, roof and building insurance, the master policy, impact glass, the finished floor elevation, leasing and pet rules, lot premiums and the registration and completion terms.
A quick move in home is finished or under construction with options chosen, so the price is known. A build to order home lets you choose structural options and finishes, and the delivered price is known only after selections.
Reading the builder's site plan, roughly 18 of 153 lots, numbers 68 through 85, face the central lake. Two of the three water features are dry detention basins, so we confirm what each lot faces.
Lots 126 through 153 back the six foot wall and buffer along Corkscrew Road. That row trades quiet for what will likely be lower pricing.
The Mandarin, Mandarin Elite and Bismarck Elite. Every other plan has the primary suite upstairs.
Not yet. The builder describes a clubhouse, pool, spa, fitness centre and social room as future amenities, so ask for the delivery date in writing.
Summercrest is a 153 townhome gated community with no CDD. Kingston is approved for 10,000 units, has several builders, a lower published entry price of $329,999 and a CDD with proposed FY2027 assessments of $1,244.68 to $2,563.83 in Area One.
Toll Brothers holds three votes per unit and a board majority until turnover, which at 153 lots is three months after 138 closings at the earliest, with a twenty-year outside date.
Not necessarily. With no closings an appraiser has thin data, and builder prices are asking prices. Ask what the contract says about an appraisal shortfall before you sign.
The contract decides. Ask how price changes, substitutions and delays are handled, and get the answer in writing.
On a $664,000 purchase with $132,800 down, the nonrecurring intangible tax is $1,062.40 and note stamps are $1,859.20. That is an illustration, not a quote.
On a $664,000 home, about $12,246 a year in tax, solid waste and HOA fees, or $11,718 with full homestead, before insurance and principal and interest.
The site is 0.4 miles from a Publix, 1.6 miles from Estero High School, 2.4 miles from Interstate 75 Exit 123, 3.4 miles from the nearest emergency room and 13.2 miles from Southwest Florida International Airport.
Only if you own and occupy on January 1 and apply by March 1. A mid-year closing usually pays a non homesteaded first bill, and Save Our Homes portability may carry savings from a prior Florida homestead.
Homeowners wind coverage and, depending on the declaration, possibly flood. We publish no premium, and we recommend quotes before you sign.
We state our compensation in your written agreement before we tour. If the builder's cooperation offer covers it, you owe nothing beyond it, and we tell you plainly if it does not.
Yes. Jesse McGreevy values and lists your current home, and Marc Comisar handles the Summercrest purchase, so the two timelines are planned together. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
Many Summercrest buyers own a home to sell first, and the sale and the purchase run on different clocks. Jesse McGreevy handles the sale and Marc Comisar handles the Summercrest purchase, so one team plans both timelines, the builder's completion window and your listing date together.
It depends on your carrying costs and the builder's timeline. A build to order home takes six to twelve months, so you can list on a schedule tied to the completion window, and a quick move in home has a shorter window. We map both with you and a net sheet from Jesse at (239) 898-6072.
List when the builder's completion window becomes credible, not when you sign, and ask the contract what happens if the build runs late. We build a calendar with the deposit dates, the design deposits and your listing date.
A builder rarely accepts one on a quick move in home and sometimes accepts a limited one on a build to order home. We read the contract, and a bridge or a sale before closing is the safer plan.
Summercrest buyer facts on this page rest on primary sources: the builder's own published prices, the Village of Estero's ordinances, Lee County's Property Appraiser, Clerk, Tax Collector and GIS, the Florida Division of Corporations, FEMA, Florida statutes and our own guides. No listing portal, online estimate or competing brokerage is cited. Sources were accessed in September 2026 unless dated. The Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix) pulls of October 21, 2026, September 29, 2026 and September 16, 2026 are restricted to members and are documented in the text rather than linked.
Summercrest buyers can pull the documents behind this page directly from the authority that issues each one, so you always see the official, current version rather than a copy. The last rows name the records that are not public and the office that holds them.
