What a Lost Creek Village at The Vines home is worth depends on its plan, its condition and the month you ask, because the 48 attached homes of this village inside The Vines in Estero closed 14 times in the Southwest Florida MLS in 60 months at prices from $185,000 to $525,000. This guide shows how a home here is priced from those closings, what the recent ones say and what moves the number. It sits beside our full Lost Creek Village at The Vines neighborhood guide, which holds the history and the recorded documents.
If you are ready to act on a number, our Lost Creek Village at The Vines seller guide shows what it costs and how long it takes to sell, and the Lost Creek Village at The Vines buyer guide shows what the buyer across the table is reading. Owners comparing valuation opinions can set ours beside the others in our guide to the best real estate agents in Estero.
Two neighbors need a word, because the names invite mistakes. Fairway Bend Village at The Vines is a separate village of 60 homes, and its owners have their own Fairway Bend home valuation guide. Owners in any other village inside the gates can start with our what is my Vines home worth guide, which covers the whole community. And the county indexes these homes as Lost Creek Village at the Vintage, the plat name from before The Vines was renamed, which is the same 48 homes.
McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor to value a Lost Creek Village at The Vines home because we read all 14 recorded MLS closings, the county roll for all 48 homes and the fee stack a buyer underwrites, and we put it in writing. We are the #1 Team in Southwest Florida since 2012.
Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar run the valuation conversation themselves. 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, a short drive south of the US 41 gate, and Estero is a market we work every week.
Recent Lost Creek Village at The Vines market record (12 months to September 29, 2026): 4 MLS closings, a $272,500 median sold price (the mean of the middle pair, $235,000 and $310,000), a range of $185,000 to $390,000, a median of 123 days on market and a median 89.9% of final list price, with no active listing on September 29, 2026. Four is a small sample, so the 60-month window (14 closings, a $427,000 median) sits beside it below. Source: Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix), pulled September 29, 2026.
Domain Realty, our brokerage, closed 615 transaction sides in Estero in the 60 months to October 5, 2026, $352.2 million in volume counted by side, per the Southwest Florida MLS pulled that day. McGreevy and Comisar are the #5 real estate team in Florida in the 2026 RealTrends rankings. None is on file for this village, and we do not dress a public-record comparison up as our own deal. What we claim is checkable: we tracked every closing the MLS has recorded here since June 2022 and the county's recorded sales back to 1988, and we show our work.
For Lost Creek Village at The Vines owners: a valuation is the first step of any plan, whether you sell this season, wait, or rent. It should come with the sales behind it, the cost your buyer faces and the net you would keep.

A Lost Creek Village at The Vines home is worth between about $185,000 and $390,000 if it resembles the homes that closed in the last 12 months, with a $272,500 median, and where yours lands depends on its plan, condition and the ask. The 60-month median of $427,000 carries the stronger 2022 to 2024 market and overstates today.
Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 29, 2026)
The county roll splits the 48 homes into 24 two-bedroom homes of 1,689 to 1,835 heated square feet and 24 three-bedroom homes of 2,164 to 2,428. In the 60-month MLS record the six smaller-plan sales had a $462,000 median (n = 6, mean of $459,000 and $465,000) and the eight larger-plan sales a $361,250 median (n = 8, mean of $332,500 and $390,000). Each is a small sample and each describes and does not forecast.
| Plan and period | MLS closings | Median sold | Range | Median sold-to-list |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two-bedroom, June 2022 to September 2024 | 5 | $465,000 | $395,000 to $485,000 | 98.0% |
| Two-bedroom, since July 2025 | 1 | $235,000 | one sale | 92.5% |
| Three-bedroom, June 2022 to August 2023 | 4 | $499,500 (mean of $499,000 and $500,000) | $290,000 to $525,000 | 99.1% |
| Three-bedroom, since July 2025 | 4 | $321,250 (mean of $310,000 and $332,500) | $185,000 to $390,000 | 88.7% |
The table shows the same story in both plans: a strong 2022 to 2024 run, and a recent record that sits about 36 percent lower for three-bedroom homes and about 49 percent lower for the single recent two-bedroom sale (our arithmetic on the medians). That sale closed after 367 days, so any single-sale reading is tentative.
The 60-month median of $427,000 blends a $185,000 closing in July 2026 with a $525,000 closing in August 2023, and a home that sold for $290,000 in June 2022 at 105.5 percent of list with homes that sold at $499,000 six months later. A median tells you the middle of the record, not your home.
You can start with our free home valuation form in about a minute. We follow up with a written opinion of value and the sales behind it, and Jesse walks you through it at (239) 898-6072.
A Lost Creek Village at The Vines home is valued by matching it to the village's closed sales by plan, adjusting for time, condition, golf exposure and lease status, and testing the result against the market and the buyer's total cost. With so few sales, each step is a judgment we explain.
Lost Creek is a Chapter 720 homeowners' association of 48 fee-simple homes, not a condominium, and it is not Fairway Bend or the unrelated Southwind subdivision in another ZIP code. We confirm the address is one of the 48 homes on Lost Creek Drive before choosing comparables, because the county's legal name, Lost Creek Village at the Vintage, can mislead.
The county roll shows heated area from 1,689 to 2,428 square feet with a median of 2,000, and the MLS shows its own living-area figure, which for some sales is larger than the county's for the same home. We use the MLS figure for price per square foot and the county figure only to cross-check, and we never mix them in one calculation.
We start with the closings of the same plan, then bedrooms, baths and den, then date. In a village of 14 sales the set is often two to five homes, and we say plainly when a home has no close match. A three-bedroom home with a den sits with the larger plan, and a two-bedroom home with a den sits with the smaller.
Prices moved a lot across the record: the 2022 median was $427,000 (n = 4), 2023 was $512,500 (n = 2), 2024 was $470,000 (n = 3), 2025 was $283,750 (n = 2) and 2026 is $310,000 (n = 3). A 2022 or 2023 sale is a weak comparable for a 2026 valuation unless the adjustment is explicit.
The homes date from 1986 to 1989, so the roof, windows, plumbing, electrical and air-conditioning may be replacements or originals, and a buyer's insurance quote will ask. The Village of Estero's permit records show what has been replaced. Updated kitchens and baths, flooring and windows move a value, and we weigh them against what the record shows and not against a rule of thumb.
The county codes 44 of the 49 mapped parcels as golf-course frontage, and the association places the village between the 10th and 11th and the 16th and 17th holes. We record frontage and position, and because the MLS extract carries no water, golf or view field for these sales, we say we cannot measure a premium and do not invent one.
FEMA maps the tested Lost Creek buildings as Zone X on panel 12071C0579G, effective November 17, 2022. That is favorable, but the roof's age and the wind mitigation form decide the insurance quote, so they belong beside the number.
The club's $15,000 joining cost and about $6,406 a year on the cheapest published tier sit under every price, plus the village and master assessments that only the estoppel states. A buyer weighs them, and so do we.
On September 29, 2026 no Lost Creek home was listed. The competition for your buyer is the neighboring villages, including Fairway Bend's 5 homes at a $379,000 median list price, so we test the number against those too.
Lost Creek Village at The Vines homes closed 14 times in the MLS in the 60 months to September 29, 2026, from $185,000 to $525,000, with a $427,000 median, $207.88 per MLS square foot and 37.5 days on market. Every sale is shown below by month, plan and size, with nothing that identifies a home.

The window totals $5,540,500 in volume, with days on market from 0 to 367 (mean 93.7) and a mean of the per-sale sold-to-list ratios of 94.9%. Ten of the 14 sold below the final list price, three at it and one above. No sale in this record was entered after closing, so every closing is in the medians.
| MLS label | Closings | Median sold | Median $ per MLS sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 bed, 2 bath | 4 | $430,000 (mean of $395,000 and $465,000) | $245.16 |
| 2 plus den, 2 bath | 2 | $464,500 (mean of $459,000 and $470,000) | $254.80 |
| 3 plus den | 7 | $390,000 | $179.89 |
| 3 bed, 2 and a half bath | 1 | $290,000 | $133.27 |
The larger plan carries the higher totals and the lower price per square foot, as bigger homes usually do, and it also carries most of the recent, weaker closings. That is why the two plans must be read in two periods and not pooled.
In the last 12 months we tracked 4 closings, from $185,000 to $390,000: one two-bedroom home at $235,000 and three three-bedroom homes at $185,000, $310,000 and $390,000. Volume was $1,120,000 and every one sold below its final list price. Four is a small sample, so the median of $272,500 describes four sales and forecasts nothing.
Lost Creek Village at The Vines, the 48-home village inside The Vines, had 4 MLS closings in the last 12 months at a $272,500 median (a small sample) and no active listing on September 29, 2026.

Lost Creek Village at The Vines values rose from a $236,000 county median in 2020 to $512,500 in 2023 and fell to $310,000 in 2026, on small counts of qualified recorded sales. The MLS record shows the same arc, with the 2022 to 2024 closings near $470,000 and the five since July 2025 at $310,000.

County figures are recorded deed prices flagged as qualified arm's-length sales. They are never compared with MLS square-foot figures. The file holds 52 qualified sales for the village across all years on file.

| 2026 (to July 29) | 3 | $310,000 |
| 2025 | 1 | $332,500 |
| 2024 | 3 | $470,000 |

| 2015 | 4 | $217,500 |
| 2014 | 2 | $170,000 |
| 2013 | 2 | $187,750 |
From $236,000 in 2020 (n = 6) to $512,500 in 2023 (n = 2) is a rise of about 117 percent, and from $512,500 to $310,000 in 2026 (n = 3) is a fall of about 40 percent. Counts of two to six sales move medians a lot, so we describe the direction and not a precise rate. Since September 29, 2025 the county file shows 3 qualified sales at a median of $310,000. The file also holds a 1988 instrument of $21,732,200 carried by two parcels, which is a multi-parcel transfer and not the price of a home, so it is excluded from every reading.
The county carries two 2022 sales the MLS did not market, and the MLS carries a December 2025 sale the county's qualified file does not. The county file ends July 29, 2026 and the MLS runs to September 29, so the August 2026 closing is only in the MLS. We show the sources separately and never add them.
The county's median assessed value for the village is $230,330, the lowest of the seven villages in The Vines. It is a tax-roll figure shaped by homestead caps and the date of the last sale, so it ranks villages and does not price a home.
The sold-to-list pattern prices a Lost Creek Village at The Vines home because the ratio of sold price to final list price moved from 100.0 percent in 2022 to 88.8 percent since July 2025, so the same ask now produces a very different sale. A seller who asks from the old ratio sits for months.
Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 29, 2026)
The nine closings from June 2022 to September 2024 had a median sold-to-list of 98.1 percent and a median of 19 days on market. The five since July 2025 had 88.8 percent and 165 days, every one below list. The 60-month median of 94.7 percent is the average of two different markets.
| If the final list price were | At the recent 88.8% | At the 60-month 94.7% | At the early 98.1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| $300,000 | about $266,400 | about $284,100 | about $294,300 |
| $350,000 | about $310,800 | about $331,450 | about $343,350 |
| $400,000 | about $355,200 | about $378,800 | about $392,400 |
The table is arithmetic on the three medians, not a prediction. It shows why we read the list-to-sold gap of the closest recent closings before we recommend an ask, and why a home priced for the old ratio sits.
Six of the 14 closed at or above list or within about 5 percent of it in 21 days or fewer, all in 2022 and 2023. The four slowest (165, 224, 260 and 367 days) closed at 83 to 94 percent of list. Time and price move together here: a longer wait has come with a larger concession.
The July 2026 sale closed at 88.5 percent of a $209,000 final list after 165 days, and the August 2026 sale at 90.9 percent of a $429,000 final list in 33 days. The second took less time at a higher price, a reminder that condition and presentation decide both the number and the speed.
Online automated estimates miss on Lost Creek Village at The Vines homes because they are built from many sales across large areas, and this village has only 14 in five years, in two plans, with a price record that split in mid-2025. They cannot see a roof, an updated kitchen, a golf-course position or a club membership cost.
It is a statistical model that weighs recent sales and public-record fields. It works best where sales are frequent and homes are alike. Lost Creek has neither, and a 2023 sale at $525,000 can pull a model's output well above what a 2026 buyer will pay.
Condition, roof age, air-conditioning age, updates, the position on the course, whether the home sits at the end of a four-home building, and whether the seller's paperwork is complete. It also cannot see the buyer's cost: the $15,000 joining cost of the club and the annual lines that follow.
The county roll is built for taxation and carries the year built, heated area and use for all 48 parcels, which we use as facts. Its assessed value is not a price, and Section 689.261 warns a buyer not to rely on a seller's taxes because a change of ownership can trigger reassessment.
Keep it as one number and ask what sales it used. Then compare it with the sale table above. If it sits outside the range for homes of your plan in the last 24 months, the model is probably reaching.
Lost Creek Village at The Vines homes are valued below Fairway Bend Village at The Vines homes on every price measure: $427,000 against $492,500 at the 60-month median, $310,000 against $495,750 at 24 months and $207.88 against $283.70 per square foot. The price gap tracks age and condition more than size, since Lost Creek's plans are larger.

| County sales since September 29, 2025 | 3, median $310,000 | 4, median $498,500 |
Both sets of medians come from the same September 29, 2026 MLS pull, and Fairway Bend's 12-month median rests on two closings.
Lost Creek's homes are about five years older at the roll medians (1987 against 1992), and its recent closings include two homes that closed at $185,000 and $235,000. Fairway Bend's closings since 2024 ran from $455,000 to $515,000. The difference is not size, since Lost Creek's median heated area is larger, and it is not the club, since both villages require membership. Age, condition and the depth of the resale record are the likelier drivers, in our reading.
Ask what plan, size and condition the Fairway Bend sale had, and say the homes are different villages with different associations. A Fairway Bend sale is a reference point for a buyer, not a line in your valuation. Fairway Bend owners have their own Fairway Bend home valuation guide.
Lost Creek Village at The Vines has the lowest 12-month median of the five villages at The Vines, $272,500 on 4 closings, and the third-lowest 60-month median, $427,000 on 14, while its roll median of 2,000 heated square feet is second only to Silver Oak's 2,113. The ladder tracks build year and finish more than size.

| Silver Oak Village at The Vines | 64 | Homeowners' association | 1991 to 1998 | 5 | $540,000 | 11 | $610,000 | 2,113 |
| Fairway Bend Village at The Vines | 60 | Homeowners' association | 1991 to 1996 | 2 | $480,000 | 13 | $492,500 | 1,737 |
| Lost Creek Village at The Vines | 48 | Homeowners' association | 1986 to 1989 | 4 | $272,500 | 14 | $427,000 | 2,000 |
Medians are the mean of the middle pair when the count is even, and Lost Creek's 4 closings, Fairway Bend's 2 and Silver Oak's 5 are small samples.
A buyer pays the least at Grand Palm and Lost Creek, more at Southwind and Fairway Bend, and the most at Silver Oak. Silver Oak's homes are only slightly larger than Lost Creek's at the roll median yet sell for nearly twice the price at the 12-month median, which leaves age, condition and updates as the variables that matter. Lost Creek's own recent median sits near Grand Palm's, at a much larger home size.
Grand Palm and Southwind are condominiums under Chapter 718, so their buyers face milestone and reserve rules that do not reach Lost Creek, and their sale prices reflect a share of a building and not a whole attached home on its own lot. We do not use a condominium sale as a Lost Creek comparable.
The live competition for a Lost Creek Village at The Vines valuation is thin: no Lost Creek home was listed on September 29, 2026, so a buyer's alternatives are Fairway Bend's five listings at a $379,000 median list price and the other villages. A value tested against live listings has to be tested against neighbors, not the village itself.
Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 29, 2026)
The MLS showed no active Lost Creek listing on September 29, 2026. That is a fact about one day, not about demand. In a village of 48 homes with four closings in a year, it is ordinary, in our reading, for none to be listed on a given day, and the last closing, in August 2026, took 33 days.
Fairway Bend Village at The Vines had five homes listed, from $345,000 to $395,000, with days on market from 11 to 421. Its 30 months of supply is computed from 5 listings and 2 closings in 12 months, a slow reading that rests on two sales. The listings are a reference for buyers and a sign that, in the neighboring village, asks are running below the 2025 closings.
With no Lost Creek listing, a well-priced home is the only one of its kind on the market, which helps. With five Fairway Bend homes listed at lower prices than its recent closings, a Lost Creek buyer has a newer alternative at asks that overlap the top of Lost Creek's recent closings, which does not help. We weigh both in the recommended range.
The best time to have a Lost Creek Village at The Vines home valued is before you decide, because the record has moved from $470,000 to $310,000 medians in about a year and a valuation shows where your home sits today. There is no season proven in 14 sales, but preparation takes weeks.
Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 29, 2026)
Owners who value first can choose between selling now, waiting a season, renting within the rules or updating and then selling. Without the number, each choice is a guess. A valuation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Insurance renewals and the start of the winter market both run on the calendar. A current wind mitigation form and roof permit help a buyer's insurer price the home, and a home that is documented and photographed before the winter months meets the first tours. About 44 percent of Lost Creek owners mail their tax bill outside Florida, which is why timing around a return north matters to many.
A new roof, air-conditioning system or kitchen changes a value, and a valuation after the work shows what the record suggests it is worth. Permit the work with the Village of Estero and keep the final inspection: a buyer asks for both.
Closings fell in nine of the twelve months, with two each in February, July, August, November and December and none in March, May or October. With 14 sales that is a pattern to note, not a rule, and a valuation is not seasonal.
A Lost Creek Village at The Vines buyer's costs reduce what buyers can pay for your home: the club's $15,000 joining cost and about $6,406 a year on the cheapest published tier, plus two association assessments that only the estoppel states. At a $272,500 price the joining cost alone is 5.5 percent of the price in cash at closing.
Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 29, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales through July 29, 2026)
| Layer | Amount | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Village association assessment | Not published | Estoppel from the village manager |
| Master Vines Community Association assessment | Not published | Estoppel from the manager |
| Club joining cost, Social tier | $15,000 ($3,000 membership contribution plus $12,000 capital fee) | Club 2026 to 2027 schedule dated May 4, 2026, as read for our hub |
| Club annual dues, Social tier | $5,781 a year ($4,353 dues, $109 monthly clubhouse assessment through June 2027, $10 monthly hurricane reserve) | Same schedule |
| Club food and beverage minimum | $625 for one member, $1,250 for two or more | Same schedule |
| Annual club cost for one Social member | $6,406 | Sum of the lines above |
The club's schedule file returned a not-found error when we tried it on September 30, 2026, so the figures are as read for our hub research, and a buyer should confirm the current schedule with the club before relying on them.
| Price | Joining cost as a share of price | Annual club cost as a share of price |
|---|---|---|
| $185,000 | 8.1% | 3.5% |
| $272,500 | 5.5% | 2.4% |
| $310,000 | 4.8% | 2.1% |
| $390,000 | 3.8% | 1.6% |
| $427,000 | 3.5% | 1.5% |
The shares fall as price rises, so the club cost bites hardest at the bottom of the range. A buyer who sees a $185,000 list price is really reading a price plus a joining cost equal to 8.1 percent of it, and will offer accordingly.
Neither association publishes its assessment. The master association does not post it on its site, and the county roll carries no association assessment. Anyone quoting a Lost Creek fee from an aggregator is quoting a number with no source we can find, so we leave the row as not published and ask for the estoppel.
Florida rules that shape a Lost Creek Village at The Vines sale price are the Section 720.401 disclosure summary, the Section 720.30851 estoppel, the Section 689.261 tax disclosure, the Section 689.302 flood disclosure and the master declaration's club requirement. Each adds a document or a cost that a buyer prices in.
Section 720.401 requires the summary before the buyer signs, and a buyer who did not get it first can cancel within 3 days after receiving it or before closing, whichever comes first. The right cannot be waived. A valuation that assumes a clean contract should assume this window.
Under Section 720.30851 the association must issue the certificate within 10 business days. The statute text caps a current-account fee at $250, adjusted for inflation every five years, and our shared cost research shows $299 as the indexed figure. The estoppel states the assessment, other amounts owed, any capital contribution, resale or transfer fee, any open violation, any board approval requirement and any right of first refusal.
Section 689.261 warns a buyer that the seller's current taxes are not a guide. Section 689.302 requires the flood disclosure at or before contract. Neither changes the market value, but both affect what a buyer feels comfortable paying.
In Lee County the seller customarily pays the owner's title policy and the $0.70 per $100 documentary stamp tax on the deed, and the contract controls. On a $272,500 sale those are $1,437.50 and $1,907.50.
Lost Creek's homes are fee-simple lots under a homeowners' association, so the condominium milestone inspection and structural reserve study do not apply, and Section 553.899 exempts four-family dwellings of three or fewer stories in any case. Exempt does not mean funded, so a buyer still reads the budget, which Lost Creek does not publish.
What moves a Lost Creek Village at The Vines number before you list is condition, documented systems and paperwork, because the July and August 2026 closings of same-size homes were $205,000 apart. Fix what an inspector flags, document what you replaced and keep the buyer's cost questions answered in a file.
Roof age and the wind mitigation form decide insurance credits more in a 1986 to 1989 home than in a later one. A dated roof permit and a current form hand the buyer's insurer a documented profile, and Florida Statutes 627.0629 requires insurers to give discounts for verified wind-resistant features.
A system from the 1980s or early 1990s is either replaced with a permit or a question on the inspection. Permits at the Village of Estero show the history. A seller who has the list ready avoids a renegotiation.
Kitchens, baths and flooring move a value, and the record shows how much condition matters: two homes of about 2,168 square feet sold 28 days apart at $185,000 and $390,000. We do not recommend a renovation without checking it against the closings at your plan.
Request the estoppel, the master resale documents and the club schedule early, and ask the manager whether any assessment is scheduled. A buyer who sees the paperwork first prices the home with less fear.
The ask should sit near the closest recent closings and allow for the list-to-sold gap the record shows. Recent sales closed at 88.8 percent of list, so a home listed well above its comparables should expect to wait.
A Lost Creek Village at The Vines seller nets about $259,987 before payoff and prorations on a $272,500 sale with no buyer-agent offer, or about $253,175 with a 2.5 percent offer, on the assumptions in the sheet below. At $390,000 the same assumptions leave about $372,846 or $363,096. The figures are illustrations, not quotes.
Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 29, 2026)
| Line | $272,500 (12-month median) | $310,000 (24-month median) | $390,000 (August 2026 sale) |

| Net before payoff and prorations | $259,987.25 | $296,006.00 | $372,846.00 |
| Buyer-agent compensation, if offered (example 2.5%) | $6,812.50 | $7,750.00 | $9,750.00 |
| Total with a 2.5% buyer-agent offer | $19,325.25 (7.09%) | $21,744.00 (7.01%) | $26,904.00 (6.90%) |
| Net before payoff and prorations | $253,174.75 | $288,256.00 | $363,096.00 |
The sheet leaves out any mortgage payoff, the property tax and assessment prorations and any concession. Commission is negotiable and the buyer-agent line is optional, off the MLS. The estoppel is shown at $299, the indexed figure in our shared cost research, although the statute text caps a current account at $250 before inflation adjustment.
A seller who is also the original owner may have a mortgage payoff, a home equity line or a lien to clear. Property taxes are paid in arrears, so the seller credits the buyer for the days owned. Any repair credit, any concession and any cost to cure an inspection item come off the net. The written valuation we prepare replaces these estimates with your numbers.
At $272,500 the fixed costs and a typical commission take about 4.6 percent, and a buyer-agent offer takes the total to about 7.1 percent. An owner deciding between selling and renting for another season is comparing net dollars, not list dollars, and we show both.
A Lost Creek Village at The Vines owner weighing rent against sale faces a leasing picture that is only partly published: renters' rules exist but no minimum term, a master rule of two leases in 12 months applies by its terms to Vintage Trace Circle homes only, and transient use is barred. Short-term rental is not a path.
The master rule requires board approval at least 30 days before occupancy for the homes it covers, a gate barcode goes to a lessee only with a lease longer than 45 days, and a shorter lease gets a dash pass. The master use restriction bars time-share, transient and public-lodging use of any unit. The village's renters' rules set pool, parking, speed, noise and pet rules and set no minimum stay and no cap on the number of leases.
A valuation gives the sale number and the fixed costs, so you can compare a sale with a lease. We do not estimate rent, because we have no rental data for this village in this pull, and we would rather say so than print a figure.
Whether the village requires approval or a tenant application, whether there is a minimum term or a frequency limit, whether a home may be leased in its first year of ownership, how the gate barcode works for a tenant and whether a tenant may use the pool, spa and club. The club's rules for tenants are not published either.

It can. The record moved from a $470,000 median in 2022 to 2024 to a $310,000 median since July 2025, and four closings in a year means one sale can shift a median. A valuation is a photograph of today, which is why we date every figure.
No. A valuation is an opinion built from closed sales, and the sold-to-list pattern, condition and the buyer's costs decide what a particular buyer pays. Recent homes closed at a median 88.8 percent of the final list price.
No. Tell us what you have replaced and what you have not, and we will show the value as the home stands and with the work done, using the record to size the difference.
Yes. A lease in place, its end date and its rent are inputs, and we read them beside the association's rules. The buyer takes the lease, so its terms matter to a buyer and to the number.
No. The valuation is free, and many owners use it only to decide whether to sell now, wait or rent.
McGreevy and Comisar is a top-reviewed Lost Creek Village at The Vines realtor, and the quotes below are genuine five-star Google reviews from sellers, reproduced in each reviewer's own words. We publish no aggregate score and no rating widget. Read the full set on our Google profile.
★★★★★ "Their recommendation on pricing my unit was sound and proved prescient. I never questioned their integrity and found it easy to rely on their recommendations. I would work with them again in a heartbeat." Verified Google review
A valuation is only useful if the person giving it can be relied on, and a reviewer who says the pricing recommendation was sound and proved prescient is describing the point of the exercise.
★★★★★ "We had been on the market for several months with no offers. When we signed with Marc our house was sold in 2 weeks. He has a unique system for selling homes." Verified Google review
In a village where the slowest recent sale sat 367 days, a home that has been listed for months is usually priced against the wrong rung or missing the documents a buyer needs.
★★★★★ "Not living in the area, Jesse made life easy for me when we decided to sell our condo. His attention to detail, patience, understanding, and tenacity in dealing with all the moving parts was truly impressive." Verified Google review
A Lost Creek Village at The Vines specialist matters for a valuation because the village's value depends on things a generalist may not know: its own 14 closings, the two-speed price record, the two plans, the club membership every buyer must take up and the Chapter 720 status. Jesse and Marc read each of those before your first meeting.
Jesse has been in Southwest Florida real estate since October 2004, is a Sales Associate with Domain Realty (license SL3101296), and runs the pricing, data and paperwork side of every valuation. Reach him at (239) 898-6072. His agent page is Jesse McGreevy.
Marc is a Broker Associate with Domain Realty (license BK3060671) and runs the field side: showings, buyer-agent conversations and inspections. Reach him at (239) 287-5873. His agent page is Marc Comisar.
McGreevy and Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, the #1 Team in Southwest Florida since 2012, and lead Domain Realty Group, whose team has sold over $2.5 billion in real estate. Those are career figures across Lee and Collier counties.
Three things: the village's own 14 sales (a generalist reaches for The Vines median), the two plans that do not share comparables, and the club membership cost that every buyer subtracts from the price.
Owners in the neighboring Fairway Bend village and owners elsewhere in the community have their own valuation guides, linked at the top of this page.
Lost Creek Village at The Vines owners who are also buying can run both transactions with the same team: we value the home you own, time the sale and the purchase, and coordinate two closings. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Southwest Florida.
The estoppel and the club certificate are the two documents that move a Lost Creek closing date. When you are also buying, we schedule them first so the two closings can sit on the same week.
If you are moving from Lost Creek to another village inside The Vines, each village has its own association and its own estoppel. Our Lost Creek Village at The Vines buyer guide covers the buyer's side of this village, and our buy a home in The Vines guide covers the rest of the community.
For a purchase outside the gates, our Estero buyer guide covers the village's neighborhoods and the closing costs of the buying side.
These are the questions owners ask most about valuing a home in Lost Creek Village at The Vines in Estero, answered from the records cited below. Each answer names the village and points to the section with the detail, and where a record is not public, the answer says so.
It depends on plan, condition and timing. The last 12 months had 4 closings from $185,000 to $390,000 with a $272,500 median, a small sample, and 14 closings in 60 months had a $427,000 median. A free home valuation matches your home to the closest ones.
We match it to the village's closed sales by plan and size, adjust for time, condition, position and lease status, test the result against live listings and add the buyer's cost stack. With 14 sales in 60 months each step is explained in writing.
The 12-month median is $132.96 per MLS square foot and the 60-month median is $207.88, with individual sales from $85 to $287. It is a check, not a rule, and never mixed with the county's heated area.
Because it averages two markets. Nine closings from June 2022 to September 2024 had a $470,000 median and five since July 2025 a $310,000 median, so the $427,000 median describes neither.
Four closed from June to December at a $427,000 median, from $290,000 to $499,000, with a 5-day median on market and a 100.0 percent median of list.
Two closed, at $500,000 in April and $525,000 in August, a $512,500 median at a 96.7 percent median of list and a 9.5-day median on market.
Three closed, from $465,000 to $485,000, a $470,000 median at 94.2 percent of list, with an 87-day median on market.
Two closed, at $332,500 in July and $235,000 in December, a $283,750 median at 87.9 percent of list, with a 295.5-day median on market.
Three closings through September 29, 2026 ran from $185,000 to $390,000 with a $310,000 median, an 81-day median on market and 88.8 percent of list. The two summer sales were 28 days apart and $205,000 apart.
The record shows that they fell and that days on market rose, but it does not say why, and we will not guess. The medians moved from $470,000 to $310,000 while sold-to-list moved from 98.1 to 88.8 percent.
The record does not isolate a figure. It shows that two homes of about 2,168 square feet sold $205,000 apart in the summer of 2026, and condition is the leading explanation, so we size updates against the closest closings.
Yes. The six two-bedroom sales had a $462,000 median and the eight three-bedroom sales a $361,250 median, but the two-bedroom homes sold earlier in the stronger market, so the plans are read in two periods.
We cannot measure it from the record. The county codes 44 of the 49 mapped parcels as golf-course frontage, and the MLS extract carries no golf or water field for these sales, so we state no premium and do not invent one.
Yes, in practice, because the homes date from 1986 to 1989 and insurers look at roof age. A dated permit and a current wind mitigation form help a buyer price the insurance.
It is favorable. FEMA maps the tested buildings as Zone X on panel 12071C0579G effective November 17, 2022, so a lender does not require flood insurance on the map alone. It is a map reading, not a survey.
It affects what buyers can pay. The cheapest published tier costs $15,000 to join and about $6,406 a year for one member, which is 5.5 percent and 2.4 percent of a $272,500 price, and buyers subtract it.
They would if they were public. The village and master fees are not published, so we read them from the estoppel and never state a figure we cannot source.
An automated estimate is a statistical model across many sales. A valuation is a person reading the 14 closings, the plans, the condition and the cost stack. With this few sales the person does better than the model.
No. The county's median 2026 assessed value for the village is $230,330, a tax-roll figure shaped by exemptions and sale dates. It ranks villages and does not price a home.
They measure different things. The county lists qualified recorded deed prices back to 1988 and ends July 29, 2026, while the MLS lists marketed sales to September 29, 2026 with days on market and living area. The county carries two 2022 sales the MLS did not.
It is the sold price divided by the final list price. The 60-month median is 94.7 percent and the five closings since July 2025 have an 88.8 percent median, so a recent ask of $350,000 has meant about $310,800.
The online form takes about a minute. Jesse follows up with a written opinion of value and the closings behind it, usually in a day or two, and walks you through it by phone if you prefer.
Yes. There is no cost and no obligation, and you are not required to list with us.
Yes. An in-person visit lets us read the roof, air-conditioning, interior and position directly, and it usually narrows the range. Ask for it when you request the valuation.
No. A valuation is a broker's opinion built from comparable sales for a sale decision. An appraisal is prepared by a licensed appraiser for a lender or a legal purpose, and you should use one where a lender or a court requires it.
Use it to plan, not to satisfy a legal requirement. Those matters call for a licensed appraiser, and we will say so.
The village publishes renters' rules but no minimum term, the master bars transient use, and a gate barcode needs a lease longer than 45 days. We give the sale net and the lease questions to ask, and we do not estimate rent because we have no rental data in this pull.
On a $272,500 sale, about $259,987 before payoff and prorations with no buyer-agent offer or $253,175 with a 2.5 percent offer, on the assumptions in our net sheet.
No. Those villages are condominiums under Chapter 718, priced as a share of a building, and Lost Creek's homes are fee-simple attached homes on their own lots. They are background, not comparables.
Fairway Bend is a separate village of newer homes at a $492,500 60-month median. It is a reference point for buyers, not a line in your valuation. The two are compared in the decision table above.
It helps a well-priced home, because a buyer who wants Lost Creek has no other choice on the day, but four closings in a year and a 123-day median show that demand is slow. A single day's inventory is not a forecast.
Your address, plan and size, what has been replaced and when, any permits, your timeline and whether the home is leased. We pull the county roll and the closings ourselves.
Every quarter while you are deciding, and before you list. With four closings a year a single sale can move the picture, and we date every figure.
No. Our hub read the master governing documents and found no age restriction, and the village publishes none. We value the home, never who may live in it.
