McGreevy and Comisar, Brokered by Domain Realty

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

Buying in WildBlue means buying mostly a resale in a gated lake community of about 1,096 single-family homes built since 2019 by Lennar, Pulte, WCI and Stock, and 32 of those homes were listed on the Southwest Florida MLS on October 21, 2026. This buyer guide sits beside our full WildBlue community guide, which covers the mine-to-lake history, both districts, The Club and the storm record. Everything on this page answers one buyer's question: what a home here costs, what you will own, what the law gives you and how to buy on terms you control. 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.

Already own in WildBlue? The WildBlue valuation guide shows what your home is worth, and the WildBlue seller guide covers how to sell it.

Buying elsewhere in the village, or comparing communities on the same weekend? Our guides to buying a home in Estero, buying a home in Meadows of Estero and buying a home in Lakes of Estero apply the same record-first method to those markets. WildBlue also has two collection guides, WildBlue Peninsula and Stock Signature homes and Vista WildBlue, and our Corkscrew Shores community guide covers the neighbor most WildBlue buyers also tour. To start a search with Marc, see how we represent buyers in Estero. Our WildBlue seller and valuation guides are written and will be linked here when they go live.

Why McGreevy and Comisar Are the Best Realtor for WildBlue

McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor for buying in WildBlue because we read the community's closed sales and live listings, the fee and district schedules and the recorded rules before you tour, and we negotiate for you across price, inspection and closing terms. We are the #1 Team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% nationally since 2008.

Buy Your WildBlue Home with the #1 Team in Southwest Florida since 2012

Marc Comisar runs the buyer side of our team, and Jesse McGreevy runs the data, contract and association paperwork. We lead Domain Realty Group, and as the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate across Southwest Florida. Our office is in Bonita Springs, and WildBlue, on Corkscrew Road about three miles east of I-75, is a market we work every week.

Recent WildBlue market record (12 months to September 2026): Lee County recorded 61 qualified sales since September 2025 at a $1,450,000 median, from $630,000 to $4,278,500, 60 of them resales [Source: Lee County Property Appraiser, sale data files]. On the Southwest Florida MLS, 61 MLS-marketed homes closed in the 12 months to October 21, 2026 at a $1,280,000 median, $509 per square foot, a median 66 days on market and a median 95.5% of list, plus 3 sold-data-entry records, and 32 were active on that date, asking a median $1,443,748 [Source: Southwest Florida MLS Matrix]. Our October 21, 2026 MLS pull covers every MLS map area WildBlue homes are filed under, including the Fort Myers map area that an earlier September pull left out, and the county count runs on its own recording dates.

Key Takeaways

WildBlue buyers who read nothing else on this page should know these twelve facts, each sourced in the sections below. They decide what you pay, what you own and how you can negotiate, and every one is specific to this gated lake community on Corkscrew Road.

  • Two enclaves, two markets. Core WildBlue (673 lots, WildBlue CDD) and Vista WildBlue (423 lots, Blue Lake CDD) are priced apart: in 12 months the county recorded 35 core sales at a $1,869,283 median and 26 Vista sales at $1,182,000.
  • The record: the county recorded 61 qualified sales in 12 months at a $1,450,000 median, and the MLS shows 61 closings in the 12 months to October 21, 2026 at a $1,280,000 median, $509 per square foot and 95.5% of list.
  • You have room to negotiate. Of the 61 MLS closings in 12 months, only 4 closed at or above list, 28 closed below 95% of list and 20 took more than 90 days, and 11 of the 32 listings on October 21, 2026 had been active 90 days or more.
  • Homes on the market on October 21, 2026 ran from $729,000 to $5,699,500, at a median ask of $1,443,748, 20 in core and 12 in Vista.
  • Mostly resale. Only 1 of 61 county-recorded sales in the last 12 months was builder-direct, against 36 in the 12 months before.
  • Two districts, two tax-bill lines. The WildBlue CDD assessment runs $2,723.44 to $5,283.91 per lot in FY2026, and the Blue Lake CDD assessment runs $4,311.62 to $4,976.62 in FY2025-2026, by lot width.
  • Recurring dues differ by enclave. In our examples, core runs about $8,494 a year in HOA and club dues and Vista about $6,238, before the CDD line.
  • The water is the product. The lakes are navigable, and a private dock and direct water view are priced to comparable sales, not to an interior lot.
  • Entirely FEMA Zone X. Federally backed lenders do not require flood insurance anywhere in the community, and you should still get your own address's determination.
  • A single-family HOA under Chapter 720. You are owed the section 720.401 disclosure summary before you sign, and the estoppel certificate is capped at $299 for a current account.
  • Florida gives you protections before contract: the HOA summary, the property tax summary and the flood disclosure, plus a written buyer agreement before touring.
  • Postal address versus jurisdiction. WildBlue is marketed as Estero, carries a Fort Myers postal address (ZIP 33913 or 33967) and sits in unincorporated Lee County.

What Does It Take to Buy a Home in WildBlue?

Buying in WildBlue takes a budget that covers the price, roughly $6,238 to $8,494 a year in association dues, a CDD line of $2,723 to $5,284 in core or $4,312 to $4,977 in Vista, one-time association fees and normal closing costs, plus a plan that fits the rules. Six steps get you from search to closing.

Step One: Get Pre-Approved and Set a Budget

A lender's pre-approval tells you what you can borrow, and the association and district fees tell you what the home costs to own. We ask for both before we tour, so you shop the right range.

Step Two: Sign a Written Buyer Agreement

Since August 17, 2024, buyers sign a written agreement with their agent before touring a home, and the agreement states the agent's compensation and that it is negotiable [Source: NAR, written buyer agreements 101]. We explain it before you sign.

Step Three: Tour by Enclave, Plan, Lot and Water

We tour by the enclave and lot that fit your budget: Vista's three Lennar collections, Pulte's Executive, Signature and Premier series, WCI's Estate homes, or Stock's Signature and Custom homes, and direct lake, lake view, preserve view or interior. We show you which homes are priced to the record and which are not.

Step Four: Make an Offer With the File in Hand

We prepare an offer from the comparables, the days on market and the seller's position. We read the association's disclosure, the district assessment for the lot and the estoppel terms before we submit.

Step Five: Inspect and Insure

Inspect the roof, air conditioning, pool equipment, opening protection, dock and shoreline, and get insurance quotes with the wind mitigation report and flood zone in hand.

Step Six: Close

The title company records the deed, the lender funds and you receive the keys. The association's transfer fee, club fee and application fee are due at or before closing, and we confirm them ahead of time.

If you want help with the first step, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

What Is the WildBlue Market Like for Buyers Right Now?

The WildBlue market favors a prepared buyer right now: the county recorded 61 qualified sales in 12 months against 122 in the 12 months before, 32 homes were listed on October 21, 2026, about six months of supply, the median MLS sale closed at 95.5% of list, and 11 listings had been active 90 days or more.

What the Windows Mean for a Buyer

The county's median was $1,350,000 in both the 24-month and 36-month windows and $1,450,000 in the latest 12 months, so the price you pay has been in a narrow range. What changed is who is selling: builder-direct sales were 631 of 958 in 60 months and 1 of 61 in the latest 12, and you now negotiate with owners.

Supply, Demand and Your Leverage

Thirty-two active listings on October 21, 2026, 20 in core and 12 in Vista, at a median ask of $1,443,748, are about 6.0 months of supply against 64 closings in 12 months, the mark many agents use to divide a balanced market from a buyer's market. The 11 listings active 90 days or more are where an offer at the closed price negotiates from strength.

Where Buyers Have Less Leverage

Vista sales in the latest 12 months closed at 97.0% of list at the median against 94.9% in core, and a $1,475,000 core home closed at 100.0% of list in October 2025 after zero days. A well-priced, well-located home still draws a quick offer, so we tell you when to move.

If you want the current list with our read on each home, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

What Have WildBlue Homes Sold For in the Last 12 Months?

WildBlue homes sold for a median $1,280,000 across 61 MLS closings in the 12 months to October 21, 2026, from $630,000 to $4,278,500, at 95.5% of list and a median 66 days, and for a $1,450,000 median across 61 county-recorded sales. The record is wide because the community runs from Vista homes to Peninsula estates.

How to Read These Sales as a Buyer

The sold-to-list column is your negotiating benchmark. Across the 61 closings it ran from 84.7% to 101.8%, and the three deepest discounts, 84.7%, 87.4% and 87.6%, came after 33, 80 and 342 days. Time on a listing tends to widen the discount, but it is not the only driver, which is why we read each sale.

If you want the closings closest to a home you like, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

What Buyers Get for the Money

Under $900,000, 30 sales in 24 months closed at an $807,500 median at $361 per square foot, and a median 48 days on the market. At $2,400,000 and up, 12 sales closed at a $3,650,000 median and $899 per square foot. The price per foot rises with the price band because the lot, the water and the plan are part of the price.

A Caution About Square Footage

The MLS living-area field reports exactly 3,178 square feet on 17 core sales and 2,247 on 25 Vista sales in 24 months, so many listings appear to carry the plan figure. We ask you to measure, or to confirm the size in the appraisal, before you rely on a price per foot.

If you want to know which size band fits your budget, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

What the Comparison Means for Your Offer

WildBlue's median is more than $500,000 above the next Corkscrew Road neighbor, so a WildBlue buyer is not shopping the same product as a buyer at Verdana Village or The Place at Corkscrew. Compare a WildBlue home with WildBlue sales, split by enclave, not with a corridor average.

Why the ZIP Median Is the Wrong Yardstick

ZIPs 33913 and 33967 mix long-standing neighborhoods, condominiums and newer communities, and none of them describes a lake community with a marina. A ZIP-wide median can mislead a buyer by hundreds of thousands of dollars in either direction.

If you want a comparison built around your budget, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

WildBlue vs Corkscrew Shores: Which One Should You Buy In?

WildBlue suits a buyer who wants gas boats and private docks on 872 acres, a bundled club and two CDDs at a $1,280,000 MLS median, while Corkscrew Shores suits a buyer who wants an electric-only 240-acre lake, no CDD and an $855,000 median. If your budget is near $1,100,000 to $1,200,000, tour both.

How They Compare

Choose Corkscrew Shores if a lower, simpler carrying cost with no CDD and a quiet lake matter more than boat size. Choose WildBlue if running a gas boat from home, a bundled club and a community entirely in Zone X matter more, and you accept two CDD assessments on the tax bill. Vista WildBlue's 12-month MLS median was $1,182,000 on 28 sales, so Vista is where the two overlap.

If you want a side-by-side on the specific homes you are considering, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

Which WildBlue Enclave Fits Your Plans?

Four collections compete for a WildBlue buyer: Vista WildBlue for the lowest entry price and bundled services, Pulte and WCI homes in the core for larger plans on the main lakes, Stock Signature homes on 85-foot lots, and Stock Custom homes on the Peninsula's 102 and 140-foot lots. The right one follows your budget, lot width and water priority.

Vista WildBlue

Vista holds 423 Lennar lots on the 225-acre Vista Lake in the Blue Lake CDD, with a master HOA that bundles lawn care, internet, insurance and irrigation water. Its 12-month county median was $1,182,000 on 26 sales, and our Vista WildBlue guide covers it in depth [Source: WildBlue community guide].

Pulte and WCI in the Core

Pulte built Executive, Signature and Premier series from 1,671 to 3,900 square feet, and WCI built Estate homes around the main lake on 75-foot-plus lots [Source: WildBlue CDD Series 2019 bond official statement]. The core's 12-month county median was $1,869,283 on 35 sales.

Stock Signature and Custom Homes

Stock built Signature homes on 85-foot lots and Custom homes on the Peninsula's 102 and 140-foot lots [Source: Stock Development, WildBlue introduced in Estero, 2019]. Only a few Custom homes remain new, according to our community guide, and our WildBlue Peninsula and Stock Signature guide covers them.

Which Fits You

If you want the water at the lowest entry price, Vista fits. If you want size and a main-lake position, the core fits, and the CDD line rises with lot width, from $2,723.44 on a 52-foot lot to $5,283.91 on a 140-foot lot.

If you want an honest comparison of the collections, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

What Does Florida Law Give a WildBlue Buyer Before Contract?

Florida gives a WildBlue buyer four protections before or at contract: the section 720.401 homeowners association disclosure summary before signing, the property tax disclosure summary in section 689.261, the residential flood disclosure in section 689.302 and the seller's duty to disclose known material defects. A written agreement with your agent is required before touring.

The HOA Disclosure Summary

Section 720.401 requires the seller to give you the disclosure summary before you sign the contract, and if it was not provided you may cancel within 3 days after receiving it or before closing, whichever comes first, a right that cannot be waived [Source: Florida Statutes 720.401, HOA disclosure summary]. WildBlue is a single-family community with no condominium buildings, so Chapter 720 is your protection, and this is information, not legal advice.

The CDD Disclosure on a Resale

Section 190.048 requires a specific boldfaced statement in the contract for the initial sale of a parcel in a district, and it is aimed at builders' first sales, not owner resales [Source: Florida Statutes 190.048, sale of real property within a district]. On a resale the assessment reaches you through the tax bill and the district's records, and we tell you which documents your contract form and closing agent will ask for.

The Property Tax Disclosure

Section 689.261 gives you a summary warning that you should not rely on the seller's current taxes, because a sale can trigger reassessment [Source: Florida Statutes 689.261, property tax disclosure summary]. We help you estimate your own first-year bill from the price and the millage, and we do not quote a figure here.

The Flood Disclosure

Section 689.302 requires the seller to disclose known flooding during ownership, flood insurance claims and federal assistance, at or before contract [Source: Florida Statutes 689.302, residential flood disclosure]. Ask for the answers in writing.

Known Material Defects

Under Johnson v. Davis, a seller who knows facts that materially affect value and are not readily observable must disclose them, and an as-is clause does not remove that duty. An inspection is still your protection for what a seller does not know.

Radon and Your Agent's Role

Florida law requires a radon gas notice on at least one document in a sale under section 404.056 [Source: Florida Statutes 404.056, radon], and the brokerage relationship disclosure in section 475.278 explains what duties your agent owes [Source: Florida Statutes 475.278, brokerage relationship disclosure]. We give you both at the start.

If you want the disclosure documents reviewed before you offer, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

How Do the Estoppel Certificate and Association Documents Work in WildBlue?

The estoppel certificate is the association's written statement of what the seller owes and what the association charges, and section 720.30851 caps its fee at $299 for a current account, plus $119 if rushed and $179 if delinquent. The seller customarily pays for it in Lee County, and it is valid for 30 days.

What the Certificate Tells You

It states dues, assessments, fines and unpaid amounts. We read it against the fee schedule before you close, so no unpaid amount becomes your problem [Source: Florida Statutes 720.30851, HOA estoppel certificate].

The Governing Documents

The WildBlue Master Property Owners Association, Inc. is the master association, and the WildBlue Amenities Association, Inc. owns The Club [Source: WildBlue community guide]. We read the recorded declaration for leasing, vehicles, lake use, exterior changes and assessments before you offer, and we do not state a transfer assessment or a recorded-disclosure term that we have not confirmed.

The Association's One-Time Fees

The fee data on our sample listings shows a $4,500 transfer fee, a $4,500 club fee in core and a $150 application fee in core, or $100 in Vista [Source: WildBlue community guide]. Who pays which item is negotiable in the contract, and we confirm the current schedule with the association before you offer.

Association Approval and Move-In

We confirm with the association whether any approval, registration or gate-access step applies to a new owner before you write an offer, and we do not assume one. The community is gated with a staffed entry off Corkscrew Road [Source: The Club at WildBlue official member portal].

The District Status Letter

Your closing agent may request a status letter from the district manager for the assessment on the lot. We ask early, and the fee is set by the district.

If you want the association documents pulled before you offer, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

What Should You Inspect Before Buying in WildBlue?

Inspect a WildBlue home for the items that decide its cost: the roof, the air conditioning, opening protection, pool and spa equipment, irrigation, the dock and lift, and the shoreline and lake edge. Homes here were built from 2019 to about 2024, so systems are young, and the condition varies by owner and lot.

The Roof and Structure

Ask for the roof's age and any repair records, and have the inspector check the flashing, the underlayment and the lanai enclosure. A young roof is not a documented roof until the paperwork says so.

Air Conditioning and Electrical Systems

Ask for the air conditioning's age and service records and the water heater's type. A buyer who finances will find the lender's appraiser asks the same questions.

Opening Protection

Shutters or impact glass affect insurance credits, and a wind mitigation inspection documents them. Ask the seller for an existing report.

Pool, Spa and Irrigation

Check the pool equipment, the heater fuel, the pool cage and the irrigation controller. Ask whether the home uses reclaimed irrigation water, which the Vista HOA bundle includes.

The Dock, Lift and Shoreline

Confirm the lot type: direct lakefront with dock rights, lake view, preserve view or interior. On a lakefront lot, have the dock and lift inspected, ask for the permits, and ask about any district notice, because the two districts have addressed shoreline and retaining-wall repairs after Hurricane Ian [Source: WildBlue CDD Hurricane Ian retaining wall impacts assessment].

Builder Warranty and Documents

Ask the seller for the original closing date and any remaining builder warranty documents, and confirm what transfers, because terms differ by builder and we do not state a warranty term for any builder here.

If you want a list of inspection questions for a specific home, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

How Do You Insure a WildBlue Home?

Insure a WildBlue home with a homeowners policy priced from the roof, opening protection and wind mitigation report, and add flood insurance if the lender requires it or the water position warrants it. The community is entirely in FEMA Zone X, and Lee County's Class 5 rating earns a 25 percent discount on federal flood premiums.

Homeowners Insurance and Wind Credits

Insurers apply credits for verified wind features, and the state's wind mitigation form documents roof shape, roof-to-wall connections and opening protection [Source: Florida OIR, premium discounts for hurricane loss mitigation]. We never quote a premium, because it depends on the carrier, deductible, roof age and report. Get quotes before the inspection period ends.

Flood Insurance

Zone X is outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, so federally backed lenders do not require flood insurance, and many lakefront buyers still price a voluntary policy. The governing map is FIRM panel 12071C0625F, and a live query of the National Flood Hazard Layer at sixteen points returned Zone X at every point, according to our community guide [Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer] [Source: WildBlue community guide].

The CRS Discount

WildBlue sits in unincorporated Lee County and falls under the county's Class 5 rating, worth a 25 percent discount on federal flood premiums [Source: Lee County CRS discounts, Class 5, 25 percent]. Confirm the class before you rely on it.

The Storm Record

A signed engineering assessment for the WildBlue CDD reports that Hurricane Ian's significant damage here was wind-driven wave erosion of lakefront shelves and perimeter retaining walls, with no inundation of residences documented [Source: WildBlue CDD Hurricane Ian retaining wall impacts assessment]. We make no damage claim about any individual home.

State Resources

The Florida Department of Financial Services publishes consumer guidance on property insurance changes [Source: Florida DFS, property insurance changes].

If you want the flood zone and wind file for a specific home, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

What Will You Pay Each Month to Own a WildBlue Home?

Owning a WildBlue home costs about $708 a month in HOA and club dues in our core example and $520 in our Vista example, plus a CDD assessment of about $283 a month on a 75-foot core lot or $381 on a 60-foot Vista lot, before your mortgage, tax and insurance. The totals are about $991 and $901.

Down Payment Arithmetic at the Median

At the $1,280,000 MLS median, 3% down is $38,400, 5% is $64,000, 10% is $128,000 and 20% is $256,000. These are arithmetic on a price, not a lender's offer, and a lender's terms decide the actual down payment.

What the Dues Include

Core dues cover security, sewer, water, trash, street lights, street maintenance, recreation and management, with cable not included, and Vista dues bundle insurance, internet and WiFi, reclaimed irrigation water, lawn and land maintenance, exterior pest control, recreation, reserves, security and street lights, with cable included [Source: WildBlue community guide]. Ask for the current schedule for the home you like.

Property Tax in Your First Year

A sale can reset the assessed value, and the tax bill is billed in November for the calendar year [Source: Florida Department of Revenue, property tax for taxpayers]. The sample 2025 bills we reviewed were $12,818 in core and $14,451 in Vista, both including the CDD line, and we help you estimate your own first-year bill from the price and the current millage.

If you want a monthly-cost sheet for a home you like, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

What Are Buyer Closing Costs in WildBlue?

Buyer closing costs in WildBlue include the association's one-time fees of about $9,100 to $9,150, the lender's title policy, recording, and on a financed purchase the note's documentary stamp tax and intangible tax. On a $1,024,000 loan, the tax lines alone are $3,584 and $2,048, so known items run about $14,800 before lender, inspection and insurance charges.

What Else Belongs on the Estimate

The lender's title policy, deed recording, inspection, appraisal, prepaid insurance, prorated taxes and dues, and any lender charges [Source: Florida Statutes 28.24, recording fees]. Your Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure itemize them.

What the Seller Customarily Pays in Lee County

In Lee County the seller customarily pays the deed documentary stamp tax and the owner's title policy and chooses the closing agent, while in Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner's policy. The contract controls, and we negotiate it.

If you want a closing-cost estimate for a specific home, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

What Does The Club at WildBlue Cost a Buyer?

The Club at WildBlue costs a buyer no equity buy-in: it is owned by the WildBlue Amenities Association and comes with ownership, funded by the dues. In core the mandatory club fee is $660 per quarter, and the food and beverage minimum is $750 a year, and there is no golf.

What Is Included

The campus sits on a 20-acre peninsula over the main lake: the Sports Club of about 13,801 square feet, open since 2021, and the Social Club of about 21,813 square feet, with interiors completed in 2024, plus resort, lap and aerobic pools, a private white-sand beach, six tennis courts, eight pickleball courts and bocce [Source: The Club at WildBlue amenities] [Source: Clive Daniel Hospitality, WildBlue Social Club and Sports Center].

The Food and Beverage Minimum

The fee data on our sample listings shows a $750 annual food and beverage minimum. We confirm how the credit is handled on the settlement statement if you close late in the year.

Club Access for Vista Owners

The Vista sample shows no mandatory club fee, and we do not state how Vista owners access The Club or at what cost because we have not confirmed it. We ask the association for the current terms before you offer.

Guests and Rules

Access follows ownership and the association's rules, and the fitness center opens by key fob. We read the current rules for guests and events before you rely on them.

If you want to tour The Club with us, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

How Does Buyer Representation Work After the NAR Settlement?

Since August 17, 2024, a buyer signs a written agreement with the buyer's agent before touring a home, the agreement must state the agent's compensation as a specific amount or rate, and offers of compensation to buyer agents can no longer be advertised on the MLS. Compensation is negotiable and not set by law.

What the Written Agreement Says

The agreement states the amount or rate and that it is negotiable, and it must be in place before an in-person or live virtual tour [Source: NAR, written buyer agreements 101]. We explain it in plain language before you sign, and you may ask questions first.

How Our Compensation Works

Compensation is negotiated between the buyer and the agent, and a seller may offer to pay or contribute toward it, off the MLS. We tell you the amount, who is paying and what happens if a seller's contribution is less [Source: NAR settlement FAQs].

Concessions Are Still Allowed

Sellers may still offer buyer concessions on the MLS, such as a contribution toward closing costs [Source: NAR, summary of 2024 MLS changes]. On an aged listing, a concession can be as valuable as a price cut.

Your Agent's Duties

Florida's brokerage relationship disclosure in section 475.278 describes the duties an agent owes a buyer, and we give it to you at the start [Source: Florida Statutes 475.278, brokerage relationship disclosure].

If you want to talk through the agreement before you tour, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

Can You Finance a WildBlue Home?

You can finance a WildBlue home with a mortgage from a lender that approves the property and your file, or buy with cash. Either way, a lender counts the HOA, the club fee and the CDD assessment in your monthly obligations, so the association and district figures belong in your budget before you shop.

Conventional, FHA and VA Options

A single-family home in a homeowners association may qualify for conventional, FHA and VA loans, subject to each lender's and program's rules, and a lender decides whether a property and a district assessment fit its guidelines. We refer you to lenders and do not give lending advice.

Cash and the Appraisal

Where a buyer pays cash, there is no appraisal. Where a buyer finances, the appraiser measures the home and uses closed sales, which is why pricing to the record matters on both sides.

Watching Rates

Mortgage rates change weekly and a lender's quote is what counts, so we do not quote a rate here. Ask two lenders for a Loan Estimate on the same day.

The Down Payment and Reserves

A lender will ask for your down payment, closing costs and reserves. The association's one-time fees of about $9,100 to $9,150 and the first-year costs should be in your budget from the start.

Two Districts and Your Lender

The CDD assessment appears on the tax bill and transfers with the property, and a buyer's lender adds it to your monthly obligations. Give the lender the exact figure for the lot width, and we supply it from the district's adopted budget.

If you want a lender introduction or a cash-versus-financing plan, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

How Do We Find You the Right Home in WildBlue?

We find the right WildBlue home by starting with your enclave, lot and budget, searching the MLS and our own network for new listings and pre-MLS opportunities, and touring the homes that fit. With 32 homes listed on October 21, 2026, we watch for new ones daily and tell you which are priced to the record.

Start With Enclave, Plan and Water

Tell us your bedrooms, your budget and your water priority: direct lakefront with dock rights, lake view, preserve view or interior. We match them to the Vista, Pulte, WCI or Stock collections that fit.

Watch New Listings and Price Changes

We track new listings, price reductions and listings that are aging, because on the record a home that has waited 90 days or more is negotiable.

Pre-MLS and Off-Market Opportunities

Owners sometimes sell quietly, and we call our network when a buyer fits. We cannot promise one, and we tell you honestly what is available.

Touring Efficiently

We tour by grouping homes near each other, checking access through the gate in advance, and preparing questions for each home before we arrive.

Start a search with Marc through how we represent buyers in Estero, and see live listings with photographs on Domain Realty Group.

If you want to start a search, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

How Do We Negotiate for You in WildBlue?

We negotiate for you by reading price, days on market, the seller's position and the terms together. In WildBlue the median MLS sale closed at 95.5% of list, only 4 of 61 closed at or above list in 12 months, and 28 closed below 95%, so most sellers negotiate, and the longest-listed homes negotiate most.

Price Against the Record

We compare the ask with closed sales of similar size and plan. Three same-figure core homes closed $250,000 apart in one week of January 2026, so an ask alone does not tell you the price.

Days on Market as Leverage

Eleven of the 32 listings on October 21, 2026 had waited 90 days or more, and four had waited 200 days or more. A buyer who offers on an aged listing at the closed price is negotiating from strength.

Terms Beyond Price

Inspection period, closing date, repairs, credits and concessions move your cost as much as price. We negotiate them together and tell you which trade is worth it.

When to Move Fast

A home priced to the record, well located, can sell in days: one core home closed in October 2025 at 100.0% of list after zero days. We tell you when to move on the first day.

The Appraisal Gap

If a financed offer appraises below the price, the parties negotiate the gap. We explain your options before you offer, and we do not overpay against the closed record.

If you want us to negotiate for you, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

Which WildBlue Rules Decide Whether a Home Works for You?

Four WildBlue rule groups decide whether a home works for you: leasing (30-day minimum, up to three leases a year), vehicle and boat storage, the lake and dock rules, and the association's architectural and pet rules. Read them before you offer, because they decide who can use the home and how.

Leasing

As our community guide reports the governing documents, the minimum lease is 30 days and no more than three leases are allowed a year, so nightly and weekly rentals are not permitted [Source: WildBlue community guide]. An investor buyer should read the recorded declaration before counting income, and we do not state a waiting period before an owner may lease because we have not confirmed one.

Vehicles, Boats and Overnight Parking

The master declaration, as our community guide reports, bars the open parking of RVs, motor homes and trailers, requires boats and commercial vehicles to be kept in a closed garage, and does not allow overnight street parking [Source: WildBlue community guide].

The Lake and the Boat Management Plan

The lakes are governed by a recorded Boat Management Plan and the two districts. We do not publish a horsepower cap, a no-wake rule or a ski-lake designation, because no primary source we reviewed confirms one, and a boating buyer should read the current plan and district rules during due diligence [Source: WildBlue Community Development District official site] [Source: Blue Lake Community Development District official site].

Pets and Exterior Changes

Pet rules and registration requirements sit in the governing documents and the sub-association's forms, and changes to the exterior, a pool or a dock need architectural approval. We read the current version for the home you like and tell you what applies.

Age Restriction

WildBlue is an all-ages community, not age-restricted, and a few third-party sites mislabel it as 55 and older.

If you want to know whether the rules fit your plans, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

Is WildBlue the Right Place for You to Buy?

WildBlue is a strong match if you want a gated, mostly resale lake community with navigable water, private docks, a bundled club without golf and Zone X throughout, and you accept two CDD assessments. It is not the match if you want no district line, an electric-only lake or golf. We tell you which side your list falls on.

What Works Well

The lakes are former limerock mine pits with drop-offs to about 40 feet, and the community's own materials report boating, water skiing, wakeboarding, jet skis and fishing in active use [Source: The Club at WildBlue amenities]. The Club has resort pools, tennis, pickleball and a beach, the entire community is in Zone X, and it is not age-restricted.

What to Weigh

There are two CDD assessments, the HOA, club and CDD costs run from about $10,800 to $11,900 a year in our two examples, homes are mostly resales, and the Corkscrew Road widening is scheduled to run through the end of 2026 [Source: Lee County and FDOT, Corkscrew Road widening project]. Our community guide also notes that the proposed entrance signal was not installed as of the April 2026 reporting [Source: WildBlue community guide].

What Is Nearby

Buyers ask about the nearby rock mine west of Alico Road, where blasting occurs roughly weekly with resident alerts, according to our community guide. We answer that directly, and we do not quote drive times because we have not verified them.

Schools

WildBlue addresses sit in the School District of Lee County's elementary Proximity Zone Q, middle Zone GG and High School South Zone, Sub-zone 2 for most of the community (Sub-zone 3 at the southern sections near Corkscrew Road) 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 2 high schools are Bonita Springs, Cypress Lake, Dunbar, Estero, Fort Myers and South Fort Myers High; 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. We state the schools and never promise an assignment.

The Honest Answer

If the community fits your list, we will say so, and if a different community fits better, we will say that too and show you where.

If you want an honest read on fit, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

What Do County Recorded Sales Add to the Buyer's Picture?

Lee County recorded 61 qualified WildBlue sales in the 12 months since September 2025 at a $1,450,000 median, from $630,000 to $4,278,500, and 60 were resales. The MLS shows 61 marketed closings plus 3 sold-data-entry records in the 12 months to October 21, 2026, and the two records agree that this is now a resale market.

Why the Two Records Differ

The county counts recorded sales on their recording dates and ends at the newest recorded sale on August 7, while the MLS counts closings through October 21, so the medians are not expected to match. The other difference is coverage: the county counts every qualified deed, and the MLS counts homes that were marketed through it.

Builder-Direct Versus Resale

Only 1 of the 61 sales was a builder's first sale. In the 24 months to September 2026 the county counted 37 builder-direct sales of 183, and in 36 months 118 of 342, so the builders' sales have largely ended.

What It Means for You

You are mostly buying from an owner who can negotiate, and the sales that will support your appraisal are the ones the county records and the MLS show together. We compare a home's ask with both records before you offer.

If you want the record for the street you like, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. If you are selling a home first, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation.

How Do You Get Your Personalized WildBlue Buyer Consultation?

WildBlue buyers get a personalized consultation by calling Marc Comisar at (239) 287-5873 or starting a search through our buyer page. It covers your budget, the enclaves and lots that fit, the association and district costs, the rules and the current listings, and there is no cost and no obligation.

Data updated: September 2026

What the Consultation Includes

You receive the current listings that fit your plan and budget with our read on each, the closed sales behind the price, the fee and CDD cost sheet, the rules that matter to you and a plan for offers. Start at how we represent buyers in Estero.

Why the Consultation Comes Before the Buyer Agreement

We would rather you know what we do and how we are paid before you sign anything, and the agreement, when you sign it, states the amount and that it is negotiable.

How to Reach Us Today

Call Marc Comisar at (239) 287-5873 or Jesse McGreevy direct at (239) 898-6072, or email . The office is at 24031 S Tamiami Trl #101, Bonita Springs, FL 34134.

Tell Marc your plan, budget and water priority, and we send new listings and price changes as they appear.

Why Does a WildBlue Specialist Matter for a Buyer?

WildBlue specialists matter for a buyer because the facts that decide the purchase live in documents: two enclaves and two districts, a mandatory club fee in core, a CDD line by lot width, dock rights by lot, a flood map that is uniform and a price range from $630,000 to $4,278,500. A general agent may miss them.

What a General Agent Tends to Miss Here

A general agent may quote the ZIP median, price a Vista home off core comparables, call every lot "lake access," forget that the CDD line varies by lot width, or call WildBlue the Village of Estero. Each one costs a buyer money.

WildBlue owners who want to sell before or after they buy should list with McGreevy and Comisar of Domain Realty, the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012. A resale-driven lake market rewards precise pricing, and few homes come up at once, so the next seller should call us first.

Should I sell first or buy first?

It depends on your financing, your timeline and the market. We compare a contingent offer, a sale before purchase and a bridge approach, and we sequence closings so you are not carrying two homes longer than you must.

Can the Save Our Homes benefit move with me?

Florida's portability rule lets a homestead owner who establishes a new Florida homestead within the statutory window transfer up to $500,000 of the difference between just value and capped assessed value [Source: Florida Department of Revenue, PT-112 portability guide]. The January 1 test matters.

Will my buyer agreement cover my sale?

No. A buyer agreement covers the purchase. A listing agreement covers the sale, and we explain both in plain language.

Frequently Asked Questions, Buyer Edition: Buying a Home in WildBlue

WildBlue buyers ask these questions before they tour and before they offer, and each answer below is written for a Lee County buyer in a gated, two-enclave, two-district lake community, in a single paragraph with its source. They cover price, fees, rules, the lake, insurance, financing and the buying process.

Data updated: October 2026

How much do homes cost in WildBlue?

The county recorded 61 qualified sales in the 12 months since September 2025 at a $1,450,000 median, from $630,000 to $4,278,500 [Source: Lee County Property Appraiser, sale data files]. On the MLS the median was $1,280,000 on 61 closings in the 12 months to October 21, 2026, and 32 active listings ran from $729,000 to $5,699,500 at a median ask of $1,443,748 [Source: Southwest Florida MLS Matrix].

What is the price per square foot in WildBlue?

The 12-month MLS median is $509 per square foot, $554 in core and $480 in Vista, and the 24-month medians by size band run from $350 to $554. Many listings carry a plan figure, so confirm the size before you rely on it.

Are homes in WildBlue selling above or below asking?

Mostly below. Of the 61 MLS closings in the 12 months to October 21, 2026, only 4 closed at or above list, 28 closed below 95% of list, and the median was 95.5%. Aged listings negotiate most.

How long do homes take to sell in WildBlue?

The median was 66 days on the MLS in the 12 months to October 21, 2026 and 62 days over 24 months. In 24 months, 51 of 155 sold within 30 days, 52 in 31 to 90 days, 41 in 91 to 180 days and 11 took longer than 180.

Is now a good time to buy in WildBlue?

If you are prepared, the record favors you more than it did. Eleven of the 32 listings had been active 90 days or more, supply sat near six months, the median MLS sale closed at 95.5% of list, and builder-direct sales have largely ended, so you negotiate with owners. Whether now is right for you depends on your goals, and we walk through the comparables before you decide.

Who built WildBlue?

Lennar was the master developer and announced the community on July 25, 2018, with Pulte, WCI and Stock as builders [Source: Lennar newsroom, WildBlue announcement, July 25, 2018]. Lennar built the three Vista collections, Pulte the Executive, Signature and Premier series, WCI the Estate homes and Stock the Signature and Custom homes.

When was WildBlue built?

Vertical construction began in 2019, and the Lennar, Pulte and WCI sections built out through about 2024, with only a sliver of Stock Custom Peninsula homes still new [Source: Stock Development, WildBlue project page]. Most homes are therefore five to seven years old or newer.

How many homes are in WildBlue?

Lee County's parcel file shows exactly 1,096 single-family parcels under the WildBlue and VistaBlue plat names, 673 in core WildBlue and 423 in Vista WildBlue [Source: WildBlue community guide]. That matches the entitled maximum of about 1,096 homes.

Is WildBlue new construction or resale?

Mostly resale now. Only 1 of the 61 county-recorded sales in the last 12 months was builder-direct, against 36 in the 12 months before [Source: Lee County Property Appraiser, sale data files]. A few Stock Custom homes on Peninsula lots remain new, according to our community guide [Source: WildBlue Peninsula and Stock Signature homes guide].

Is WildBlue in Estero or Fort Myers?

It is marketed as Estero, its postal city is Fort Myers (ZIP 33913 or 33967), and it sits in unincorporated Lee County, outside the Village of Estero [Source: Engage Estero, incorporated Village of Estero or not]. That decides permits, schools and the flood insurance discount.

Is WildBlue gated?

Yes. The community is gated with a staffed entry off Corkscrew Road [Source: The Club at WildBlue official member portal], and we confirm the access steps for a new owner before you offer.

Is WildBlue age-restricted?

No. It is an all-ages community, and a few third-party sites mislabel it as 55 and older.

Is WildBlue a golf community?

No. The Club at WildBlue has no golf, and its campus centers on the water, pools, tennis, pickleball and bocce [Source: The Club at WildBlue amenities].

Does WildBlue have a CDD?

Yes, two. The WildBlue CDD assesses the 673 core lots and the Blue Lake CDD assesses the 423 Vista lots, and each assessment appears as a non-ad valorem line on the Lee County tax bill [Source: Florida Statutes Chapter 190, community development districts] [Source: Lee County Ordinance 18-20 establishing the Blue Lake CDD].

How much are the CDD assessments in WildBlue?

In the WildBlue CDD the FY2026 total runs from $2,723.44 for a 52-foot lot to $5,283.91 for a 140-foot lot, and in the Blue Lake CDD from $4,311.62 for a 50-foot lot to $4,976.62 for a 75-foot lot in FY2025-2026 [Source: WildBlue CDD FY2026 adopted budget] [Source: Blue Lake CDD FY2025-2026 final budget].

How much are the HOA fees in WildBlue?

From our sample listings, core runs about $8,494 a year, $1,276 per quarter plus a $660 per quarter club fee and a $750 food and beverage minimum, and Vista about $6,238 a year, $1,372 per quarter plus the $750 minimum [Source: WildBlue community guide]. The CDD line is separate.

What do the HOA fees cover?

Core dues cover security, sewer, water, trash, street lights, street maintenance, recreation and management, with cable not included, and Vista dues bundle insurance, internet and WiFi, reclaimed irrigation water, lawn and land maintenance, exterior pest control, recreation, reserves, security and street lights, with cable included [Source: WildBlue community guide].

What one-time fees do I pay at closing?

The fee data on our sample listings shows a $4,500 transfer fee, a $4,500 club fee in core and a $150 application fee in core, or $100 in Vista. Who pays which item is negotiable in the contract, and we confirm the current schedule before you offer.

What amenities does WildBlue have?

The Club sits on a 20-acre peninsula with a Sports Club of about 13,801 square feet and a Social Club of about 21,813 square feet, resort, lap and aerobic pools, a private white-sand beach, six tennis courts, eight pickleball courts and bocce [Source: The Club at WildBlue amenities] [Source: Clive Daniel Hospitality, WildBlue Social Club and Sports Center].

Do I have to buy a club membership?

No equity membership exists. The Club is owned by the WildBlue Amenities Association and funded through the dues, so nothing is bought or sold at resale [Source: WildBlue community guide]. In core the mandatory club fee is $660 per quarter.

Can I boat on the WildBlue lakes?

The community's own materials report boating, water skiing, wakeboarding, jet skis and fishing in active use [Source: The Club at WildBlue amenities]. We do not publish a horsepower cap, a no-wake rule or a ski-lake designation, because no primary source we reviewed confirms one, so read the current Boat Management Plan during due diligence.

How big and how deep are the lakes?

The community's lakes total 872 acres, with the 560-acre WildBlue Lake in the core and the 225-acre Vista Lake in Vista, and they are former limerock mine pits with drop-offs to about 40 feet [Source: WildBlue community guide] [Source: The Club at WildBlue amenities].

Can I have a private dock?

Lakefront lots with dock rights can have one, and our community guide reports private docks extending up to about 50 feet from the control line [Source: WildBlue community guide]. Interior and lake-view lots have no dock, so confirm the lot type and the permits.

What floor plans are in WildBlue?

Pulte built Executive, Signature and Premier series from 1,671 to 3,900 square feet, WCI built Estate homes on 75-foot-plus lots, Stock built Signature homes on 85-foot lots and Custom homes on 102 and 140-foot lots, and Lennar built three Vista collections on 50, 60 and 75-foot lots [Source: WildBlue CDD Series 2019 bond official statement] [Source: Stock Development, WildBlue introduced in Estero, 2019].

How big are the homes?

The MLS living-area bands over 24 months run from under 2,200 square feet, at a $742,500 median, to 3,400 and up, at $1,850,000, and the largest home to close in that span was a 5,486 square foot core home at $5,475,000 in January 2025 [Source: Southwest Florida MLS Matrix].

Is WildBlue in a flood zone?

The entire community is in FEMA flood Zone X, on FIRM panel 12071C0625F, according to our community guide, and a live query returned Zone X at sixteen points [Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer] [Source: WildBlue community guide]. We still attach the address's own determination.

Do I need flood insurance in WildBlue?

Not federally, in Zone X, but a lender may still require it and many lakefront buyers carry a voluntary policy. Lee County's Class 5 CRS rating gives a 25 percent discount on federal flood premiums, which we confirm before you rely on it [Source: Lee County CRS discounts, Class 5, 25 percent].

How did WildBlue hold up in Hurricane Ian?

A signed engineering assessment for the WildBlue CDD reports wind-driven wave erosion of lakefront shelves and perimeter retaining walls, with no inundation of residences documented [Source: WildBlue CDD Hurricane Ian retaining wall impacts assessment]. We make no claim about any individual home.

Can I rent my home in WildBlue?

Our community guide reports a 30-day minimum lease and no more than three leases a year, so nightly and weekly rentals are not permitted [Source: WildBlue community guide]. Read the recorded declaration before you count on income.

What are the parking and boat storage rules?

RVs, motor homes and trailers cannot be parked openly, boats and commercial vehicles must be kept in a closed garage and overnight street parking is not allowed, as our community guide reports the master declaration [Source: WildBlue community guide].

What schools serve WildBlue?

WildBlue is in elementary Zone Q, middle Zone GG and high school South 2 (South 3 at the southern sections) 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.

What is the Corkscrew Road widening?

The widening is scheduled to run through the end of 2026, and our community guide notes that the proposed entrance signal was not installed as of the April 2026 reporting [Source: Lee County and FDOT, Corkscrew Road widening project] [Source: WildBlue community guide]. We describe it plainly as a construction period on a road that is being improved.

What about the nearby rock mine?

A rock mine west of Alico Road blasts roughly weekly with resident alerts, according to our community guide [Source: WildBlue community guide]. Buyers ask, and we answer directly and let you decide.

WildBlue or Corkscrew Shores, which should I buy in?

WildBlue's 12-month MLS median was $1,280,000 on 61 sales against $855,000 on 48 at Corkscrew Shores. Choose WildBlue for gas boats, docks and a bundled club, and choose Corkscrew Shores for an electric-only lake and no CDD, and tour both if you are near $1,100,000 to $1,200,000.

How does WildBlue compare with the rest of Estero?

WildBlue's $1,280,000 median sits above West Bay Club at $907,000, Belle Lago at $890,000, Corkscrew Shores at $855,000 and RiverCreek at $759,900 in the same October 21, 2026 pull, and its $509 per square foot is the highest of the group.

What does a buyer's agent cost after the NAR settlement?

Compensation is negotiated and stated in a written agreement you sign before touring, offers of compensation can no longer be advertised on the MLS, and a seller may still contribute off the MLS [Source: NAR settlement FAQs]. We tell you the amount and who pays.

Do I need a written agreement before touring?

Yes, since August 17, 2024, before an in-person or live virtual tour [Source: NAR, written buyer agreements 101]. We explain it before you sign.

What must the seller disclose to me?

The section 720.401 summary before you sign, the property tax summary in section 689.261, the flood disclosure in section 689.302, the radon notice and any known material defect that is not readily observable [Source: Florida Statutes 720.401, HOA disclosure summary]. WildBlue has no condominium buildings, so Chapter 720 applies.

What is an estoppel certificate?

The association's written statement of what the seller owes, capped at $299 for a current account, plus $119 if rushed and $179 if delinquent, and valid for 30 days [Source: Florida Statutes 720.30851, HOA estoppel certificate]. The seller customarily orders it in Lee County.

Who pays the owner's title insurance in Lee County?

By custom the seller pays it and chooses the closing agent in Lee County, while the buyer does in Collier County, and the contract controls [Source: Florida Administrative Code Rule 69O-186.003, title insurance rates].

Do I pay off the CDD bond when I buy?

No. The bond portion of a CDD assessment stays with the property as a line on the Lee County tax bill, and the buyer takes it over [Source: WildBlue CDD Series 2019 bond official statement]. The bonds mature in 2049, and some sellers prepay to simplify a buyer's math.

Can I buy with cash?

Yes. Cash means no appraisal and no lender, and the association and district costs still apply. Cash is common in this price range, and we tell you when a financed offer needs a stronger position.

What is the first step to buying in WildBlue?

Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero. We start with your budget, enclave and water priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions: Selling One Home to Buy Another in WildBlue

Buyers who own a home often ask how to sell and buy in the same season, and each answer below is a single paragraph. The questions cover sequencing, the tax benefit you can carry and the documents you will need for both transactions.

Should I sell my current home before I buy?

It depends on your financing and risk. We compare selling first, buying first with a contingency and a bridge approach, and we build a timeline so you carry two homes as briefly as possible.

How does homestead portability work?

A homestead owner who establishes a new Florida homestead within the statutory window can transfer up to $500,000 of the difference between just value and capped assessed value to the new home [Source: Florida Statutes 193.155, homestead assessments].

What is the January 1 rule?

Homestead status is fixed on January 1 each year, so the date of your purchase and sale can change your assessment. Ask us before you set a closing date.

What will my current home net?

Start with a free home valuation, which includes a net sheet with doc stamps, title premium, estoppel, prorations and commission. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Can I make an offer contingent on selling my home?

Yes, though sellers weigh it against offers without one. We tell you how the record and the listing's age affect the chance it is accepted.

Will you represent me on both transactions?

Yes. Jesse leads your sale and Marc leads your purchase, and we coordinate the two.
