Estero Cove is a 180-unit condominium community in five buildings at 6891, 6893, 6895, 6897 and 6899 Estero Blvd, at the south end of Estero Island in the Town of Fort Myers Beach, and this is our guide to selling a condo there. The five buildings are part of our coverage of Fort Myers Beach. This page covers the sale itself: what the two-bedroom condos here have closed for, how long they took, what a buyer’s lender and insurer will ask for and what you keep after costs.
The Lee County Property Appraiser places every Estero Cove parcel in the Town of Fort Myers Beach taxing district, so the Town, and not unincorporated Lee County, issues the permits and applies the flood rules a buyer will ask about. Estero Cove is not Estero Beach and Tennis Club, the Gulf-front towers 0.4 mile south, nor the Village of Estero inland. The figures below are for 6891 to 6899 Estero Blvd only.
The Southwest Florida MLS records 14 Estero Cove closings in the 24 months to October 7, 2026, at a median of $341,500, from $270,000 to $400,000, with a median of 90.5 days on the market and a median sale of 93.1 percent of the final list price. The last 12 months hold only 9 closings, so 24 months is the shortest window with ten or more and it leads this page. The Lee County recorded-sale series follows separately and is never mixed with it.
To sell an Estero Cove condo in Fort Myers Beach in 2026, price it from the closings in your own floor plan and building, order the estoppel and association documents before the first showing, and plan for negotiation: 13 of the 14 condos that closed in the last 24 months sold below their final list price, at a median 93.1 percent.

Estero Cove is unusually uniform. Every one of the 179 unit parcels on the county roll is a two-bedroom, two-bath condo, and the roll carries only three heated areas: 778, 832 and 839 square feet. That sameness helps a seller, because the comparable sales really are comparable, and it also exposes a seller, because a buyer can line your condo up against six active listings of nearly the same plan in a few minutes. The sections below take the record, the pricing method, the documents and the costs in the order an owner meets them.
These are the nine facts about selling an Estero Cove condo in Fort Myers Beach that matter most in October 2026, each drawn from the Southwest Florida MLS, the Lee County Property Appraiser, the association’s state filings or the Florida Statutes, and each explained in the sections below.
This seller’s guide to Estero Cove runs from the market record to the pricing method, then the fee, insurance, flood and disclosure questions a condo buyer asks, two net sheets at recorded prices and the questions owners ask us most. Each link below jumps to its section on this page.

The Estero Cove condo market gives buyers room to negotiate right now: six condos were active and one pending on October 7, 2026, against 14 closings in the last 24 months, about 10.3 months of supply. The median closing was $341,500 at 93.1 percent of the final list price, after a median 90.5 days on the market.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 7, 2026, records 14 Estero Cove closings from October 28, 2024 to July 2, 2026, for $4,770,500 in dollar volume. The median sale was $341,500 and the mean $340,750. Two condos closed at $400,000, the top of the window, on March 28, 2025 and March 9, 2026, and the lowest closing was $270,000 on October 31, 2025. The median price per square foot of MLS living area was $423, from $347 to $513. None of the 14 is a Sold Data Entry record, so each has a real listing history behind it.
Twenty-four months leads because the last 12 months hold only 9 closings. We show the 12-month line for completeness and describe its middle only as the median of these 9 closings.
| Window | Closings | Median sale | Price range | Median price per sq ft | Median days on market | Median sale-to-final-list |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last 12 months | 9 | $348,000 (the median of these 9 closings) | $270,000 to $400,000 | $431 | 109 | 92.5% |
| Last 24 months | 14 | $341,500 | $270,000 to $400,000 | $423 | 90.5 | 93.1% |
| Last 36 months | 16 | $351,500 | $270,000 to $510,000 | $441 | 69 | 92.7% |
| Last 60 months | 29 | $387,500 | $270,000 to $510,000 | $482 | 22 | 96.2% |
The 60-month record holds two quite different groups of sales. The 15 closings from November 5, 2021 to February 9, 2024 had a median of $411,000, a median of 6 days on the market and a median sale at 100.0 percent of the final list price, and 8 of the 15 closed at or above list. The 14 closings since October 28, 2024 had a median of $341,500, a median of 90.5 days and a median 93.1 percent, and 1 of the 14 closed at or above list. That is a difference between two samples and not a forecast. It tells a seller that a price remembered from 2022 is not what the last two years of buyers have paid.
The MLS showed six Estero Cove condos active and one pending. Asking prices on the six ran from $315,000 to $456,789 with a median of $357,450, a median asking price of $449 per square foot, and a median of 163.5 days on the market. A re-check of the MLS on October 29, 2026 found 10 condos active and 1 pending with contingencies, asking $315,000 to $449,000, and no closing since July 2, 2026.
| Status | Building | MLS living area (sq ft) | List price | Days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active | 6899 Estero Blvd | 832 | $315,000 | 761 |
| Active | 6893 Estero Blvd | 778 | $349,000 | 138 |
| Active | 6891 Estero Blvd | 778 | $349,900 | 189 |
| Active | 6893 Estero Blvd | 832 | $365,000 | 236 |
| Active | 6891 Estero Blvd | 839 | $414,900 | 21 |
| Active | 6893 Estero Blvd | 832 | $456,789 | 79 |
| Pending | 6897 Estero Blvd | 832 | $439,000 | 24 |
Three of the six active condos are in the 6893 building, two are at 6891 and one is at 6899. Five of the six asking prices sit above the $341,500 median of the last 24 months of closings, and two sit above $400,000, a price no Estero Cove condo has closed over since February 2024. The pending condo at 6897 Estero Blvd is the same residence that closed for $510,000 on February 9, 2024 after 2 days on the market; its list price when it went under contract was $439,000. A list price is not a sale price.
At the 24-month pace of 14 closings, six active listings are about 10.3 months of supply, and at the 12-month pace of 9 closings about 8.0 months. Both rest on small counts. The same arithmetic for all of ZIP 33931 gives about 11.5 months: 380 active listings against 397 closings in 12 months.
In the 12 months to October 7, 2026 the Southwest Florida MLS recorded 397 closings in ZIP 33931 at a median of $510,000. Condominiums, split by joining MLS addresses to the county roll (98 of 2,064 sixty-month closings did not match an address and are excluded from the split), had 238 closings at a median of $425,000, $428 per square foot, 83 days on the market and 94.3 percent of final list. Estero Cove’s 24-month figures sit below that median price and close to that price per square foot. The windows differ, so we read it as position and not as a ranking.
The Lee County Property Appraiser’s qualified-sale file records 15 Estero Cove deeds in the 24 months to October 7, 2026, with a median of $325,000, from $270,000 to $421,000. Over 12, 36 and 60 months the county shows 9 deeds (the median of these 9 was $320,000), 17 at $348,000 and 30 at $386,250. Eleven sales appear in both series inside the 24-month windows, three appear only in the MLS and four appear only in the county file: $275,000 at 6897 Estero Blvd on February 2, 2026, $320,000 at 6895 on January 5, 2026, $351,000 at 6899 on July 31, 2025 and $421,000 at 6891 on March 17, 2025. A deed with no MLS closing behind it was sold off the market or was not captured, and we do not use one as a comparable until we know its terms. We never mix the county series with the MLS series.
Fourteen Estero Cove condos closed between October 28, 2024 and July 2, 2026, at prices from $270,000 to $400,000. The table lists every one, newest first, with the sold and final list prices, the percent of list, the building by street number, the MLS living area, the price per square foot and the days on market. No unit numbers appear.

Six of the 14 closed at $350,000 or more and eight closed below it. Eight of the 14 closed in the first seven months of 2026, seven of them between February 6 and April 17. The one closing above its final list price, $400,000 against $395,000 on March 28, 2025, also carries the highest price per square foot, $513. The widest gap is the February 6, 2026 closing at 6897 Estero Blvd: $348,000 against a final list price of $450,000, 77.3 percent, after 200 days.
Grouped by MLS living area, 6 of the 14 closings were 778 square foot condos, from $270,000 to $387,500, and the median of these 6 closings was $352,500. Six more were the larger 832 and 839 square foot plans, from $290,000 to $400,000, and the median of these 6 closings was $317,500. The other two carry listing-entered areas of 780 and 854 square feet that the county roll does not show for any parcel. In this window the larger plans did not close for more than the smaller one, which says condition, floor and outlook moved prices more than 54 or 61 extra square feet did.
Estero Cove condos that closed in the last 24 months took a median 90.5 days on the market and sold at a median 93.1 percent of the final list price, about $25,000 below it. Five of the 14 closed within 35 days of listing and five took 200 days or more, and those two groups closed at very different prices.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
The 14 closings ran from 8 to 264 days on the market, with a median of 90.5 and a mean of 113.5. Five sold in 35 days or fewer (8, 13, 19, 22 and 35 days), four took between 66 and 114 days, and five took 200 days or more (200, 200, 229, 238 and 264 days). A median of 90.5 describes almost none of them, so we look at the two ends.
| Group | Closings | Sold prices | Sale-to-final-list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sold within 35 days | 5 | $300,000, $335,000, $385,000, $387,500, $400,000 | 92.3% to 101.3% |
| Took 200 days or more | 5 | $270,000, $275,000, $290,000, $325,000, $348,000 | 77.3% to 92.1% |
The median of these 5 quick closings was $385,000 at 93.9 percent of the final list price. The median of these 5 long closings was $290,000 at 84.6 percent. Four of the five long sales were in the 6897 building and one was at 6893. Five closings a side cannot prove that time on the market lowers a price, because a condo that needs work both sits longer and sells for less. They do show that no condo that sat 200 days in this window closed above $348,000, and that the quick sales were not the cheap ones.
Across all 14 the ratio ran from 77.3 to 101.3 percent, with a median of 93.1 and a mean of 92.1, and the gap between final list and sold price ran from $5,000 over list to $102,000 under it. The ratio is measured against the final list price, so a listing reduced several times looks closer to its price than it was. Days on market are the check.
Three of the six active listings on October 7, 2026 had been on the market 189 days or more, and the longest had reached 761. The closing record says a condo here either meets its buyer in the first month or begins a long wait that has ended, each time in this window, below $350,000. We set the first price where the last two years of closings support it.
Most Estero Cove condo owners who resold did sell for more than they paid: 25 of the 27 repeat sales in the county file show a higher second price, a median change of 26.5 percent, or $55,000, after a median hold of about 4.3 years. One condo bought in January 2022 resold in June 2026 for $26,000 less.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
The county file holds 120 qualified sales at Estero Cove from May 20, 2011 to June 18, 2026, across 93 different condos. We matched sales of the same condo by its address in the file and found 27 pairs in which a condo sold, then sold again. The table gives the building, the dates and the prices, and never the unit.

Five of the 27 pairs resold in the last 24 months. Four sold for more than the earlier price, by 1.4, 19.3, 33.3 and 54.2 percent, after holds of 5.0 to 11.9 years. The fifth, bought for $411,000 on January 25, 2022, resold for $385,000 on June 18, 2026.
Twenty-two of the 27 first purchases date from 2011 to 2019, when recorded prices here ran from $170,000 to $270,000, so the long holds show large changes partly because they started early. The pairs do not subtract renovation, assessments, fees, commissions or taxes. Three pairs were held less than a year, which the file does not explain. We give the count, 25 of 27, and the median, and we make no forecast.
This example is an Estero Cove condo at 6897 Estero Blvd that closed on April 1, 2026 for $387,500, after 13 days on the market and a final list price of $419,000. It is a public-record closing from the Southwest Florida MLS, chosen because the same building and plan produced much lower prices months earlier.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
The condo is a two-bedroom, two-bath residence with 778 square feet of MLS living area, the most common plan in the community. It closed at 92.5 percent of its final list price, $31,500 under it, and at $498 per square foot, the second highest figure in the 24-month window. Against the building-wide record, that is $46,000 above the $341,500 median, and 13 days against a median of 90.5.
The Lee County file shows an earlier qualified sale of the same residence on April 22, 2014 for $251,250. The April 2026 price is $136,250 above that, a change of 54.2 percent across 11.9 years of ownership. That is a gross difference between two recorded prices. It leaves out twelve years of association fees, taxes, insurance and whatever the owner spent inside the unit.
Three other 778 square foot condos in the 6897 building closed in the six months or so before it: $370,000 on March 31, 2026 after 109 days, $270,000 on October 31, 2025 after 229 days and $275,000 on September 23, 2025 after 200 days. Four condos with the same recorded plan in the same 1989 building closed $117,500 apart. Nothing in the MLS grid or the county roll explains that. Floor, outlook, renovation, furnishings and the first list price are where the explanation sits, and those are what a listing has to show.
We price an Estero Cove condo from the closings in its own floor plan and building, adjust for floor, outlook, condition and documents, and then test the number against the six condos for sale today. The 24-month median of $341,500 is the reference for the community as a whole and is never the price of one unit.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
The county roll gives every Estero Cove condo one of three heated areas. We pull the closings for your plan first, because a 778 square foot condo has 16 closings in five years to compare with and an 839 square foot condo has 2. Then we narrow to your building, since the five were finished in five different years from 1985 to 1989.
Neither the MLS grid nor the county roll records the floor, the outlook, the renovation, the furnishings or the terms, so we ask you for them, walk the condo and photograph it. This step carries real weight here, because four condos of the same plan in the 6897 building closed $117,500 apart.
A buyer’s lender and insurer will read the budget, the reserve study and the estoppel certificate, so we read them first. Then we set the price against the six active listings, which ran from $315,000 to $456,789 with a median asking price of $357,450, and the pending condo listed at $439,000.
The Property Appraiser’s just value for the 179 unit parcels runs from $264,090 to $312,033 with a median of $276,767, which is 81.0 percent of the 24-month median sale. Just value is an assessment figure set each year under Florida law. It is useful for the tax proration on your net sheet and for nothing else in pricing. As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we price from closings, and we show you each one we used.
The price of an Estero Cove condo moves with its plan, building, floor, outlook, condition and furnishings, with the association’s budget and any assessment, and with what flood and wind insurance cost a buyer. The public record shows only the plan and the building, so the rest is for your listing to document.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
We could not confirm from a recorded document which side of Estero Blvd the buildings stand on. The county roll’s land-is-on field reads LAKE for all 180 parcels, a county classification and not a waterfront claim, and our reading of the roll’s coordinates places the buildings on the bay side of the road. The flood map reads Zone AE here and Zone VE at the Gulf-front towers 0.4 mile south, which fits that reading. The roll shows no dock and no seawall. A listing should describe the outlook a buyer will see and should not borrow the word Gulf-front.
| Building | Unit parcels | Year built (county) | MLS closings, 60 months | Price range, 60 months | MLS closings, 24 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6891 Estero Blvd | 35 | 1985 | 3 | $380,000 to $475,000 | 0 |
| 6893 Estero Blvd | 36 | 1987 | 4 | $290,000 to $400,000 | 3 |
| 6895 Estero Blvd | 36 | 1986 | 6 | $310,000 to $460,000 | 3 |
| 6897 Estero Blvd | 36 | 1989 | 9 | $270,000 to $510,000 | 6 |
| 6899 Estero Blvd | 36 | 1988 | 7 | $375,000 to $461,000 | 2 |
The 6897 building has traded most often, 9 of the 29 closings, and it holds both the highest and the lowest price in five years. The 6891 building has traded least, with 3 closings in five years and none in the last 24 months, although two of the six active listings on October 7, 2026 were there. Two condos, one at 6899 and one at 6895, closed twice inside the 60 months, so 29 closings are 27 different residences.
The roll records 778 square feet on 119 unit parcels, 832 on 30 and 839 on 30, and every unit is two bedrooms and two baths. Over 60 months the 778 square foot plan closed 16 times, from $270,000 to $460,000, and the 832 square foot plan 8 times, from $290,000 to $510,000. The MLS also carries living areas of 780 and 854 square feet on three closings, which no parcel on the roll shows. When a listing agent’s area and the county’s differ, we state both and let the buyer’s appraiser measure.
The county’s story field reads 3, 4 or 6 on different parcels inside the same building, and the MLS building-design field reads Mid Rise (4 to 7 stories) on 28 of the 29 closings. Neither ties a sale to a floor, so the record cannot split prices by floor or outlook. Buyers notice both first, and we price them from a walk-through.
The county roll counts no Estero Cove parcel built in 2023 or later and does not record repairs. A condo renovated after September 2022 sells on the renovation, the permits behind it and the association’s approval of the work, and we ask you for all three before the listing goes live.
The association’s public page says owners may park one car under one building, first come, first served, with other parking outside, and that owners, guests and renters register at the management office on arrival. It publishes nothing on pets, minimum lease terms or amenities, so we get any rule that could move a buyer’s decision in writing from the manager.
Listing-entered annual recurring fees on 29 Estero Cove closings ranged from $4,560 to $8,220 with a median of $5,880, and the 14 entries on the last 24 months of closings ran from $5,880 to $8,220. These are listing-agent entries and are not verified. The association’s current budget and an estoppel certificate govern what your buyer pays.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
The 29 entries fall on six values: $4,560 three times, $5,100 eight times, $5,880 four times, $6,780 once, $7,500 four times and $8,220 nine times. By year of closing they read $4,560 on both 2021 closings; $5,100 on seven and $4,560 on one in 2022; $5,880 on three and $5,100 on one in 2023; $6,780 and $5,880 in 2024; $8,220 on all five in 2025; and $8,220 on four and $7,500 on four in 2026. We report these as what agents typed when each condo was listed. We do not say the association changed its assessment on any date or by any amount, because the association’s budget is not published and an entry can reflect a different period.
The association has not published what its assessment pays for, how much goes to reserves or whether a special assessment is in force, so this page states none of those. The MLS master association fee field reads $0 on all 29 entries, which fits a single association. The declaration, the budget and the estoppel certificate decide.
Listing agents entered an application fee of $100 to $150 on 24 of the 29 closings and left it blank on five. No transfer fee was entered on any closing. We print no estoppel figure, because Florida caps that charge by statute and the association’s current schedule governs.
At $348,000, a recorded closing price, and the 2026 applied millage of 13.3108 for the Town of Fort Myers Beach district (13.4329 in 2025; Lee County Property Appraiser book printed October 9, 2026), property tax before exemptions and non-ad valorem charges is $4,632.16 a year. Added to the most common recent fee entry of $8,220, that is about $12,852 a year, or roughly $1,071 a month, before insurance and utilities. That is arithmetic from listing entries and the 2026 rate, and it is not a quote.
An Estero Cove condo is insured on two layers: the association’s master policy insures the buildings and is paid from the assessment, and each owner carries a unit owner’s policy for the interior and contents. A buyer’s insurer will ask about wind and flood, and a buyer’s lender will review the association itself.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
The master policy insures the five buildings, and its premium reaches each owner through the assessment. We found no premium, deductible or renewal date from a primary source and publish none. Ask the manager for the declarations page and the deductible rule, because a buyer’s insurer will ask who pays the deductible after a storm.
Citizens Property Insurance requires flood coverage alongside its wind policies on a phased schedule, and under Florida Statutes 627.351 and 627.715 that requirement does not reach policies written on a condominium unit owner’s form. A buyer should still price flood cover for the unit, because every point we tested at Estero Cove sits in a Special Flood Hazard Area.
A buyer can insure through the National Flood Insurance Program, a private flood policy or both. The Town of Fort Myers Beach holds Community Rating System Class 5, a 25 percent discount on federal flood policies, effective April 1, 2026; the Town had lost an earlier discount in a November 2024 cycle. Under Risk Rating 2.0, FEMA caps most annual premium increases at 18 percent. On the wind side, Florida’s mitigation verification form, OIR-B1-1802, was revised effective April 1, 2026, and a current form for the building can lower a buyer’s premium. We quote no premium, and none is published for Estero Cove.
A lender financing a condominium usually reviews the budget, reserves, master insurance, litigation and owner-occupancy before approving a loan, and on 1985 to 1989 buildings may ask for the milestone summary and reserve study. We know no one lender’s rules. We hand over the documents the day they are requested, because that is where a financed condo sale most often slows.
Under Florida Statute 718.503 an Estero Cove condo seller gives a resale buyer the declaration, bylaws, rules, budget and financial information and the state’s questions-and-answers sheet, and the buyer may cancel within 7 days, or 15 where a milestone summary or reserve study applies. Statute 689.302 adds a flood disclosure.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
Estero Cove is a condominium under chapter 718, governed by Estero Cove Condominium Association, Inc., so chapter 720, the homeowners association act, does not apply to your sale. A resale seller gives the buyer the declaration, articles, bylaws and rules, the most recent annual financial information and budget, the milestone inspection summary where one applies, the most recent structural integrity reserve study or a statement that none has been completed, and the state’s frequently asked questions document. The buyer may cancel within 7 days, not counting weekends and legal holidays, after receiving them, and within 15 days where a milestone inspection summary, a turnover inspection report or a structural integrity reserve study applies.
The county roll’s legal descriptions cite the declaration at Lee County Official Records Book 1765, Page 2993, on 178 of the 180 parcels; the other two look like typing slips of the same citation. It is the source for leasing, pet, alteration and approval rules, and an owner can request the association’s official records under Section 718.111.
Since October 1, 2024, a seller of residential property gives the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the contract, covering flood insurance claims and federal flood assistance on the property. Answer from your own records. Because the flood map indicates Zone AE at the tested addresses, the buyer’s lender and insurer will ask about the building’s flood history as well.
Section 689.261 requires a property tax disclosure summary at or before the contract. Separately, the Florida Supreme Court held in Johnson v. Davis that a seller who knows of facts materially affecting value that are not readily observable must disclose them, and an as-is clause does not remove that duty.
The estoppel certificate states what the unit owes the association and whether any assessment is due or levied. Florida caps the fee by statute, so we print no dollar figure, and the certificate is valid for 30 days, or 35 if delivered electronically. Order it when you list. With listing entries that run from $4,560 to $8,220 over five years, it is the one document that gives a buyer the current number.
By the county’s years built, the five buildings reached 30 years between 2015 and 2019. Florida Statute 553.899 requires a milestone inspection of a condominium building of three or more habitable stories at 30 years, and a building that had reached 30 years before July 1, 2022 was to complete its first inspection before December 31, 2024. Statute 718.112 requires a structural integrity reserve study for such buildings, due by December 31, 2025. We computed those dates from the county’s year built and story fields. We state no status for any building, and the association’s records and the Florida DBPR reporting database are where a buyer checks.
Buyers will ask about the flood zone, elevation, storm history and rebuilding rules at Estero Cove, and the record answers most of it: the FEMA flood map indicates Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 11 feet NAVD88 at the six points we tested, in evacuation zone A. Hurricane Ian put 10 to 15 feet of surge above ground on Estero Island in 2022.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
We queried the federal flood layer on October 7, 2026 at the five street numbers and at the center of the roll’s parcel coordinates, and all six points returned the same reading. The FEMA flood map indicates the following at these addresses. It is a map reading; an elevation certificate or a lender’s flood determination settles a specific unit.
| Point tested | FEMA zone | Base flood elevation | Flood map panel | Panel effective |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6891 Estero Blvd | AE | 11 ft NAVD88 | 12071C0567G | November 17, 2022 |
| 6893 Estero Blvd | AE | 11 ft NAVD88 | 12071C0567G | November 17, 2022 |
| 6895 Estero Blvd | AE | 11 ft NAVD88 | 12071C0567G | November 17, 2022 |
| 6897 Estero Blvd | AE | 11 ft NAVD88 | 12071C0567G | November 17, 2022 |
| 6899 Estero Blvd | AE | 11 ft NAVD88 | 12071C0567G | November 17, 2022 |
The National Hurricane Center puts Hurricane Ian’s surge on September 28, 2022 at 10 to 15 feet above ground on Fort Myers Beach and Estero Island. U.S. Geological Survey high-water marks on the island run from 10.5 to 13.8 feet NAVD88, the six marks within one kilometer of Estero Cove read 11.6 to 12.3 feet, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection recorded 13.23 feet at the pier. For Helene and Milton in 2024 the National Weather Service puts coastal Lee County water levels at 2 to 5 feet and 3 to 6 feet above mean higher high water. Those are measurements of water, not of any floor or any damage, and we found no document describing how these buildings fared.
The Town of Fort Myers Beach requires new or substantially improved buildings to stand at the base flood elevation plus one foot, 12 feet here, and applies its 50 percent substantial-improvement test per building. The Town’s page states a five-year look-back on permits, and the code text we read is silent on it. A buyer planning a renovation should ask the Town’s floodplain office.
The Town issues permits here, and work inside a unit also needs the association’s approval. From May 1 to October 31 the Town’s sea turtle lighting rules apply near the beach, including window glass at 45 percent light transmittance or less. We did not confirm whether any building is seaward of the state’s coastal construction control line. The Coastal Barrier Resources System layer returned no unit at the points we tested.
Four layers of rules affect an Estero Cove condo sale: chapter 718 of the Florida Statutes, the declaration recorded at Official Records Book 1765, Page 2993, the association’s current rules, and the Town of Fort Myers Beach code. The association’s leasing, pet and approval rules are not published online, so a seller has to obtain them.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
The association’s public page says owners can advertise their units on the community’s rental page and that realtors also handle rentals. It states no minimum lease term, lease limit or tenant approval step; the declaration and current rules govern those. A unit used as a short-term vacation rental registers with the Town under Ordinance 18-01, within the limits Statute 509.032 places on local regulation. We searched the 36 entries on the Town’s 2026 condominium opt-out list on October 7, 2026 for Estero Cove and each street number and found no match, which says nothing about the association’s own rules.
Section 34-2391 of the Town’s land development code sets minimum rental periods in some districts, with exceptions. We did not confirm which row applies to these five buildings, so we state no stay length. A buyer underwriting rental income should get the answer in writing from the Town’s zoning staff and the association.
Pet rules are not published, and the association’s page does not mention pets. The declaration and current rules govern, and a listing that says pets are allowed without the limits behind it invites a dispute during the cancellation window.
Application fees of $100 to $150 on 24 closings suggest that sales go through an association application. Whether there is an interview or a right of first refusal is in the declaration and rules. Ask the manager how long approval has taken lately, because that sets the earliest realistic closing date.
The Southwest Florida MLS record shows Estero Cove condos closing mostly in late winter and spring: 17 of the 29 closings in five years fell from February through May, and none fell in June, August or December. Twenty-nine closings are too few to say a month brings a better price on Fort Myers Beach, so list when the unit and documents are ready.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)

February and March hold 11 of the 29 closings, and 7 of the 14 in the last 24 months. A closing follows its contract by several weeks, so those sales were mostly agreed in January, February and early March, when the island is fullest. The count says when sales closed and not when they were best priced, and with two or three closings in most months we cannot conclude anything about price by month.
The Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey counts 71.4 percent of the Town’s 9,886 housing units as vacant on survey day, including 4,753 held for seasonal use. Many likely buyers are on the island only in winter, so a listing that is photographed and documented before they arrive is ready when they can walk through it. That is a planning point and not a price claim.
We market an Estero Cove condo by entering it in the Southwest Florida MLS with the correct plan, building and documents, photographing the floor, outlook and finishes that the public record cannot show, and answering the fee, flood and insurance questions inside the listing package. With six near-identical plans for sale, presentation carries the price.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
We list in the Southwest Florida MLS, where every buyer’s agent working the island searches, and we promote the listing to our own buyers and through our local guides. Our Fort Myers Beach seller guide covers selling anywhere on the island.
Since August 17, 2024, offers of buyer-agent compensation cannot be advertised in the MLS, and a buyer’s agent works under a written agreement before touring. Commissions are negotiable. A seller may offer to pay or contribute toward the buyer’s agent off the MLS and may offer concessions on it, and we set the options out in writing before you sign.
We negotiate an Estero Cove condo contract against the record: 13 of the 14 condos that closed in the last 24 months sold below their final list price, at a median 93.1 percent, so an offer under list is the normal opening here. We then keep the lender, the association and the cancellation window moving to a closing.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
A buyer’s agent will cite the $270,000 and $275,000 closings at 6897 Estero Blvd. We answer with the days those condos sat, 229 and 200, and with the $370,000 and $387,500 closings of the same plan in the same building months later. The record supports more than one price for the same plan, and the negotiation is about which group your condo belongs in.
A buyer weighing an Estero Cove condo against Estero Beach and Tennis Club, 0.4 mile south at 7300 to 7360 Estero Blvd, is comparing a two-bedroom condo on the bay side of the road with a studio or one-bedroom in a Gulf-front tower. The 24-month medians are $341,500 and $423,000, and your price has to make sense beside both.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
Estero Beach and Tennis Club is three towers with 296 condos, built 1979 to 1982, that the county codes as Gulf land. If you also own there, our Estero Beach and Tennis Club seller page gives the same analysis for those towers. Every figure below comes from the same October 7, 2026 pull and the same county roll file.

Both the MLS and the county roll carry the same 517 square feet for every Estero Beach and Tennis Club unit, so we do not set the two communities side by side on price per square foot. The fee row compares listing entries from different sets of sales and is verified for neither.
A buyer picks Estero Cove for a second bedroom and bath at a 24-month median $81,500 lower, in five mid-rise buildings mapped AE in place of VE. A buyer picks Estero Beach and Tennis Club for a Gulf-front tower and accepts a smaller unit and a higher price. For an Estero Cove seller the useful fact is the overlap: the top of our range, $400,000, sits inside theirs, and their lowest active listing was $355,000. A two-bedroom priced above $400,000 here asks a buyer to pass up the Gulf for it, and the listing has to say why.
A buyer in this part of the island may also compare Leonardo Arms (24 months: 11 closings, median $424,000), Sandarac (24 months: 15 closings, median $650,000), Lovers Key Beach Club (12 months: 10 closings, median $362,500) and Hibiscus Pointe (12 months: 12 closings, median $375,000). We compare medians only where the window matches: over the same 24 months Estero Cove closed below both Leonardo Arms and Sandarac.
Selling an Estero Cove condo costs roughly 4.8 to 7.4 percent of the price on the two net sheets below, at $348,000 and $400,000, depending mainly on commission and whether you offer buyer-agent compensation. In Lee County the seller customarily pays the owner’s title policy and the deed’s documentary stamp tax of $0.70 per $100, and the contract controls.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS closings through October 7, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll file October 4, 2026)
Florida law does not assign closing costs, and the purchase contract controls. The customary Lee County split is below.
| Line item | Customarily paid by | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Listing commission | Seller | Negotiated; no set rate |
| Buyer-agent compensation | Seller, if offered | Optional, offered off the MLS |
| Deed documentary stamp tax | Seller | $0.70 per $100, Florida Statute 201.02 |

The commission lines are examples and both are negotiable. The documentary stamp tax is the price divided by 100, rounded up, times $0.70, and the title premium follows the state schedule. The estoppel fee is capped by statute and left out of the totals, so add the association’s figure. The tax proration uses the county’s median just value of $276,767 at the 2026 Town district millage of 13.3108 for 180 of 365 days as an illustration. Any mortgage payoff comes out of the net.
Whether you owe capital gains tax on an Estero Cove condo depends on your basis, how long you owned it, whether it was your main home and where you are resident, so we cannot answer for you. Florida has no state personal income tax, federal tax can apply, and a CPA should run your numbers before you list.
Under IRS Topic 701, a seller who owned and lived in the home as a main home for at least two of the five years before the sale can exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or up to $500,000 for most married couples filing jointly. A winter home or a rental does not qualify unless it meets the ownership and use tests.
Gain is the sale price less selling costs and your basis, which is the purchase price plus capital improvements, so the repeat-sale price differences above are not taxable gain. A foreign seller may face federal withholding under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, taken at closing, so raise it with the title agent early.
For most Estero Cove condo owners a full MLS listing gives the highest price the market will test, a cash offer trades price for speed, and a sale by owner saves the listing commission but leaves you the chapter 718 documents, the disclosures and the negotiation. The right route depends on your timeline and the unit’s condition.
| Route | Price outcome | What it costs | Main risk | Best when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full MLS listing | Tested by the open market | Commission, stamp tax, title and prorations | A price above the last 24 months of closings sits | The condo shows well and you have a few months |
| Cash or investor offer | Usually below a well-priced listing | Fewer steps, lower price | The discount can exceed the commission saved | The condo needs work or you need certainty |
| Sale by owner | Untested unless you already have a buyer | No listing commission; your own disclosures | A missed Section 718.503 or 689.302 duty | A known buyer and a lawyer’s review |

We could not verify the following about Estero Cove from a primary source, so this page makes no claim on them. Each item names the document or office that settles it. A seller who can fill any of these gaps with a document strengthens their own listing, and we would rather leave a gap than guess.

Price it from the closings in your plan and building, order the estoppel, assemble the resale documents, complete the flood disclosure and list with a plan for the first 30 days. The 24-month median sale was $341,500.
Start from your own plan. The 14 closings of the last 24 months ran from $270,000 to $400,000, and 13 of them closed below the final list price, so a price above $400,000 has no recent closing behind it.
On October 7, 2026, six were active, from $315,000 to $456,789, and one was pending. Three of the six were in the 6893 building, two at 6891 and one at 6899.
The 24-month median was 90.5 days, but the range ran from 8 to 264. Five of the 14 closings sold within 35 days and five took 200 days or more.
The median sale was 93.1 percent of the final list price over 24 months, a gap of about $25,000. One of the 14 closed above list, and the widest gap was $102,000.
The 6897 building, with 9 of the 29 closings in 60 months and 6 of the 14 in 24 months. The 6891 building had 3 closings in five years and none in the last 24 months.
Less than you might expect. Over 24 months the 778 square foot plan closed from $270,000 to $387,500 and the 832 and 839 square foot plans from $290,000 to $400,000, so condition and position mattered more.
Both were 778 square foot condos in the 6897 building, closed about five months apart, after 229 days and 13 days. The public record does not show floor, outlook or renovation, which is where the difference lies.
No. The 15 closings from November 2021 to February 2024 had a median of $411,000, and the 14 since October 2024 had a median of $341,500. Buyers and appraisers use the recent group.
No. The median just value on the October 2026 roll file, $276,767, is an assessment figure, about 81.0 percent of the 24-month median sale. Price from closings.
Listing entries show an application fee of $100 to $150 on 24 closings, which suggests an application. The declaration and rules say what is required, so ask the manager how long approval takes.
Under Florida Statute 718.503: the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, the latest budget and financial information, the state’s questions-and-answers sheet, and the milestone summary and reserve study material where they apply.
Yes, within 7 days of receiving the resale documents, not counting weekends and legal holidays, or 15 days where a milestone summary, turnover report or reserve study applies. Early delivery shortens the uncertainty.
Florida law caps the charge and sets the certificate’s life at 30 days, or 35 if delivered electronically. We print no dollar figure, because the association’s current schedule governs.
Under Florida Statute 689.302, a seller of residential property gives the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the contract, covering flood claims and federal flood assistance.
The FEMA flood map indicates Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 11 feet NAVD88 at the six points we tested, on panel 12071C0567G. An elevation certificate settles a specific building.
The law does not require one to list, but a buyer’s lender or flood insurer may ask. The Town keeps an elevation certificate library, and the association may hold one for your building.
Buyers of condos in 1985 to 1989 buildings ask for the milestone summary, and the resale package carries it where one applies. We computed the statutory date only, so ask the association for the report itself.
The structural integrity reserve study sets the reserves the association must fund, and lenders read it. The resale package includes the latest study or a statement that none has been completed.
Disclose what you know: damage, repairs, claims and permits for your unit. Florida’s common-law duty and Statute 689.302 both apply, and we found no public record describing the buildings’ experience.
The current assessment, what it pays for, the reserve balance and any special assessment. Listing entries ran from $4,560 to $8,220 over five years and are not verified, so answer with the budget and the estoppel.
Yes. The estoppel certificate states any assessment due, and an unpaid balance is settled from your proceeds at closing. None is published for Estero Cove, so ask the manager.
The declaration and rules decide, and neither is published. The association’s page says owners can advertise on its rental page, and the Town registers short-term rentals. Get the answer in writing.
The pet rules are not published, and the association’s page is silent. It matters, because a buyer with a pet can cancel inside the document window if the rules surprise them.
The seller customarily pays it. Under Florida Statute 201.02 the rate is $0.70 per $100, which is $2,436.00 on $348,000 and $2,800.00 on $400,000.
By Lee County custom the seller pays the owner’s title policy and the buyer pays the lender’s policy and loan charges. It is a custom and not law, and the contract controls.
On our net sheet, about $322,271 before any mortgage payoff with a buyer-agent offer and about $330,971 without one, at example commission rates. The estoppel fee is not in those totals.
An appraiser uses recent closings of the same plan, so the 14 closings on this page are the evidence. A price above every one of them risks a gap the buyer must cover.
Fix what a buyer sees first, and confirm the association’s alteration rules and the Town’s permit requirements before larger work. The quick sales in the record were not the low-priced ones.
Yes. Most closing documents can be signed remotely or before a notary where you live, and we handle showings, the association paperwork and the walk-through.
Tax is prorated to the closing date, and the county reassesses after a sale. At the 2026 applied rate of 13.3108 mills, $348,000 would carry $4,632.16 before exemptions and non-ad valorem charges.
Seventeen of the 29 closings in five years fell from February through May, and none in June, August or December. The record is too thin to say a month changes the price.
We do not forecast prices. The record shows a $341,500 median over 24 months, six active listings, about 10.3 months of supply and a Town district millage that moved from 13.4329 in 2025 to 13.3108 for 2026.
Commission is negotiable and set in the listing agreement, so we publish no rate. Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 and we will explain what is included before you sign anything.
Yes. The county roll places all 180 parcels in the Town’s taxing district. The Town, incorporated December 31, 1995, issues permits and applies the flood and rental registration rules.
A Fort Myers Beach specialist knows which Estero Cove building and plan a condo belongs to, which closings are true comparables, what the estoppel and resale package must contain and what the flood map indicates at the address. Buyers pay for that clarity, and a listing that explains a condo well holds its price through inspection.
Small errors cost condo sellers contracts: a fee copied from a 2023 listing, a living area that the county roll does not show, a Gulf-front claim for buildings the county codes otherwise, a document package delivered late so the cancellation window stays open. As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we build the listing so none of those reach the buyer.
Our Fort Myers Beach community page covers the island.

Ask anyway. Knowing the number and the documents a buyer will want is the first step in choosing when to list.
