Selling in The Place at Corkscrew differs from most Estero sales in six ways: one master association runs the amenity campus and every lot's landscaping, a CDD bond varies by phase, the association owns its restaurant, exterior changes need written approval, the community sits in unincorporated Lee County, and the flood map is a single Zone X polygon.
The Place Master Association, Inc. is a Florida not-for-profit under Chapters 617 and 720, filed September 21, 2015, and it is the only association: a Division of Corporations search found no neighborhood or condominium association bearing the community name [Source: The Place at Corkscrew community guide]. That means one budget, one estoppel and one set of rules for every seller, and two manned gatehouses, West Gate and East Gate, control access [Source: The Place at Corkscrew community guide]. For a seller, one document set makes the file simpler to assemble.
Since the 2024 approved budget, every home pays the same $1,220.46 per quarter to the association, regardless of lot width, while the Corkscrew Farms Community Development District levies a second assessment on the county tax bill that varies by phase and lot width, from $1,185.41 to $1,717.32 in FY2027 [Source: Corkscrew Farms CDD FY2027 Adopted Budget]. A buyer's lender underwrites both, so your phase is a pricing fact, not a footnote.
The association owns the Barefoot Bar and Grill, the Bourbon Bar and the cafe, books their revenue on its own financial statements and takes no cash on the property, so dining runs through a member account with a card on file [Source: Audited Financial Statements, year ended December 31, 2021] [Source: Rules and Regulations, August 27, 2021 edition]. A 2023 budget note added a $480 annual food and beverage minimum. An unpaid dining balance can surface on the estoppel, so we clear it before listing.
Pulte and Lennar built every home for master developer Cameratta Companies, the first residents moved in during November 2017, the peak year was 2021 with 332 homes delivered, and no home is newer than 2023 [Source: Lee County Property Appraiser 2025 certified NAL roll download]. That narrow age band puts every roof and air conditioning system inside a known window, which helps your listing when you date each one.
The mailing address says Estero, but all 1,316 parcels on the 2026 final roll sit in taxing district 079, unincorporated Lee County, and Lee County, not the Village of Estero, runs permitting and code enforcement [Source: Lee County Property Appraiser 2025 Taxing District Millage Book]. The adopted 2025 millage in district 079 was 13.2005 mills, and the Property Appraiser's 2026 book, printed October 9, 2026, applies 13.1503. Say "unincorporated Lee County" in your listing so no buyer is surprised.
FEMA's flood layer returns a single Zone X polygon across the whole community, marked area of minimal flood hazard with no base flood elevation, so unlike many Estero communities your listing file does not need a parcel-specific zone hunt [Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer]. The flood section below adds the details a buyer's insurance agent will ask for.

The Place at Corkscrew is a workable place to sell right now for an owner who prices to the current record. In the 12 months to October 21, 2026, 103 homes closed at a $695,000 median, at a median 66 days on market and 96.8% of list, which describes buyers who negotiate rather than buyers who have left.
Data updated: October 2026
| Window | Closed sales | Median sold price | Median $ per sq ft | Median days on market | Median sold as % of list |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last 12 months (Oct 22, 2025 to Oct 21, 2026) | 103 | $695,000 | $296 | 66 | 96.8% |
| Last 24 months | 186 | $730,000 | $306 | 70 | 96.5% |
| Last 36 months | 267 | $754,000 | $313 | 67 | 96.7% |
| Last 60 months | 463 | $765,000 | $322 | 36 | 97.3% |

Every window holds at least 103 closings, so each median rests on a real sample. The 60-month median of 36 days on market includes the fast 2021 and 2022 market, when the oldest year block below shows an 8-day median, and it should not be read as a forecast.
On October 21, 2026 the MLS pull showed 12 homes listed in The Place at Corkscrew, from $518,000 to $1,199,000, a median asking price of $729,900, which works out to about 1.4 months of supply against 103 closings, and 8 more were pending with a contingency. Our July 2026 community guide counted 18 active listings and 1.96 months of supply. We read supply as tight today, not as a promise about the week you list.
The latest 12-month median of $695,000 sits about 9% below the $765,000 of the block before it and about 16% below the $825,000 of the block before that. Mix explains little of it: the median home sold measured 2,445 square feet in the latest block and 2,445 in year 3, while the median price per square foot slipped from $326 to $296. A buyer's appraiser reads recent sales of your size and lot, which is why the next sections split the record apart.
The honest read is that the market pays for condition and correct pricing. Across the 103 closings, 39 took longer than 90 days to sell and 29 sold within 30 days, and 26 sold below 95% of list while 10 sold at or above list. Waiting for 2021 prices to return is a forecast, not a plan. Pricing to the last six to twelve months of sales at your size is a plan.

The Place at Corkscrew's median sold price ran $750,000 in the oldest 12-month block of the last 60 months, peaked at $825,000 in year 3, and was $695,000 in the latest block, per the Southwest Florida MLS. Median days on market moved from 8 to 66 over the same five years.
Data updated: October 2026
| 12-month block | Closed sales | Median sold price | Median $ per sq ft | Median days on market | Median sold as % of list |

Year 5 tells the story of the fastest market: 113 sales at a median of 8 days and 100.0% of list. By years 3 and 4 the median had risen to $825,000 and $800,000 with median days on market of 55 and 32, and by the latest block the median had eased to $695,000 with days on market at 66. Sold-to-list has slipped from 100.0% to 96.8%, and the price per square foot fell from $332 in year 4 to $296 today.
| Sold price band (last 12 months) | Closed sales | Share of the 103 |
|---|---|---|
| Under $500,000 | 3 | 3% |
| $500,000 to $599,999 | 27 | 26% |
| $600,000 to $699,999 | 22 | 21% |
| $700,000 to $799,999 | 19 | 18% |
| $800,000 to $999,999 | 26 | 25% |
| $1,000,000 and up | 6 | 6% |
The community trades as a coherent price band: 49 of the 103 sales landed between $500,000 and $699,999, 45 between $700,000 and $999,999, and 6 at $1,000,000 or more, the top one at $1,249,000. A listing that fits one band has a very different buyer from a listing in the next.
If you bought in year 5's fast market, your equity may be real, though the median for that block was $750,000, about 7% above today's. If you bought in years 3 or 4, the community medians were $825,000 and $800,000, and today's median sits well below your purchase price. A buyer's appraiser will use the last six to twelve months of sales at your size, so a list price anchored to your purchase price will be tested. We show you all five blocks so you can see where your purchase year sits, then price from the sales that will decide the appraisal.

The Place at Corkscrew had 103 marketed closings plus 4 sold-data entries in the October 2026 MLS pull, and 102 qualified recorded sales in Lee County's public sales file since October 2025, through September 11, 2026. We show both with their own labels because each answers a different question: the MLS gives days on market and list price, and the county gives the recorded price.
Data updated: October 2026
| Measure | Sales | Median | Low | High |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| County recorded sales, DOR-qualified, 12 months since October 2025 | 102 | $704,500 | $455,000 | $1,300,000 |

Most builder-heavy communities show a county count well above the MLS count because new homes sell direct from the builder. That is not the case here: the county record shows 0 builder-direct sales, the last homes closed in 2023, and all 102 recorded sales were resales. The two records now sit close together, 107 MLS rows counting sold-data entries against 102 recorded with the county file stopping at September 11. Our July guide's 110 closings sit in the same range.
Use the county figure for what recorded homes actually sold for, and use the MLS rows for days on market and the ratio of sold price to list price, because the county file cannot supply those. When we build your pricing, we work from the MLS rows for your size and check every comparable against the recorded price.
If you want the recorded sales behind your own street, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation. If you are buying and want the county record checked against the MLS, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero.
The Place at Corkscrew sales that matter most to your price are the recent closings at your size and bedroom count. In the 12 months to October 21, 2026, 103 homes sold from $455,000 to $1,249,000, and the tables below break them apart by living area, bedrooms and quarter before listing every one with its date, size, price and days on market.
Data updated: October 2026
| Living area (last 12 months) | Closed sales | Median sold price | Median $ per sq ft | Lowest sale | Highest sale | Median days on market |

The two largest groups by count sit at 2,000 to 2,399 square feet with 38 sales at a $606,000 median and at 2,400 to 2,799 square feet with 30 sales at $761,000. The $155,000 gap between those medians shows how much the size line matters, and a home near it needs a pricing argument, not a guess. The architectural guidelines set minimum living areas of 1,600, 1,800 and 2,200 square feet for the three lot widths, and the smallest sale in the record was 1,688 square feet.
| Bedrooms as the MLS reports them (last 12 months) | Closed sales | Median sold price | Median $ per sq ft | Median days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 bedrooms | 4 | $597,500 | $322 | 100 |
| 3 bedrooms (with or without a den) | 50 | $662,500 | $313 | 67.5 |
| 4 bedrooms (with or without a den) | 36 | $707,500 | $281 | 41.5 |
| 5 bedrooms (with or without a den) | 11 | $864,900 | $258 | 133 |
| 6 bedrooms or more | 2 | $844,590 | $248 | 177 |
The three- and four-bedroom homes carry the market: 86 of the 103 sales. The five-bedroom group took a median 133 days, so a large plan needs the pricing and the marketing to match its smaller buyer pool.
| Quarter of the 12-month window | Closed sales | Median sold price | Median days on market |
|---|---|---|---|
| Latest three months (about Jul 22 to Oct 21, 2026) | 17 | $675,000 | 40 |
| Months 4 to 6 back | 31 | $695,000 | 57 |
| Months 7 to 9 back | 34 | $700,000 | 75 |
| Months 10 to 12 back | 21 | $709,000 | 74 |
The months 7 to 9 back show the slowest median, 75 days, and the latest three months the quickest, 40 days across 17 sales, so the calendar can move your timeline by weeks.

The Place at Corkscrew sits in the middle of its Corkscrew Road neighbors on price and near the top on sales volume. Its $695,000 median for the 12 months to October 21, 2026 compares with $415,000 to $1,280,000 across the nine communities below, and its 103 closings trail only Bella Terra's 115 and Verdana Village's 105.
Data updated: October 2026
The yardstick is closed sales in the last 12 months from one Southwest Florida MLS pull, October 21, 2026, so every row uses the same dates and the same method. Prices are not adjusted for home size, and each community's product mix differs. Months of supply is active listings divided by closings over 12.

A buyer who has toured Bella Terra sees a $449,000 median and 53 days on market; your home answers with a newer build, a larger amenity campus and no golf assessment. A buyer who has toured Corkscrew Shores sees an $855,000 median at 110 days; your home competes at $695,000 and 66 days. A buyer who has toured The Preserve at Corkscrew sees a $627,800 median. Each of those buyers needs a different first paragraph.
Median days on market ran 66 here against 37 at Grandezza, 35 at Stoneybrook, 51 at Verdana Village and 53 at Bella Terra, and 110 at Corkscrew Shores. A home that lists near the median waits a little over two months on the record. More time on market means a longer stretch of competing with newer listings on the same road, which is why we read every active listing's size and price history before we set your number.
If you are weighing a sale against your neighbors' asking prices, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation. If you are buying and want the same benchmark for a home you are considering, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero.
The Place at Corkscrew and The Preserve at Corkscrew are both gated Corkscrew Road communities built by Pulte and Lennar for Cameratta Companies with no golf, but The Place is a 1,325-home resort campus built 2017 to 2023 with a $695,000 median, and The Preserve is a 441-home community built 2011 to 2015 with a $627,800 median. Your listing has to win that comparison.

Sources: The Place at Corkscrew figures from the The Place at Corkscrew community guide and the October 21, 2026 Southwest Florida MLS pull; The Preserve at Corkscrew figures from the The Preserve at Corkscrew community guide and the same pull; both communities' fee lines as each guide states them.
The Place's association fee is $1,641.84 a year higher than The Preserve's $3,240 ($4,881.84 against $3,240), but The Preserve's CDD line is higher, roughly $2,644 to $3,480 against $1,185.41 to $1,717.32 here. Add the two lines and The Place runs $6,067.25 to $6,599.16 a year before the $480 food and beverage minimum, against $5,884 to $6,720 at The Preserve. A seller who states the whole stack in one line lets the buyer compare like with like.
The Place at Corkscrew suits the buyer who wants a 2017 to 2023 build, the deepest amenity campus on the corridor and a flat assessment that does not rise with lot width, and who accepts a phase-based CDD line and a $1,000 resale contribution. Our The Place at Corkscrew community guide covers every one of those points.
The Preserve at Corkscrew suits the buyer who wants a smaller community of 441 homes, a lower association fee and a lower median price, and who accepts an older 2011 to 2015 build and a larger CDD line. When we list a home in The Place, we do not argue with that buyer; we find the other one.
Your buyer has very likely seen a Preserve listing. A Place home at $600,000 to $650,000 sits near The Preserve's $627,800 median, and that buyer will compare age, fees and amenities line by line. Your listing has to state the fee stack, the square footage and the build year plainly, then let the buyer do the arithmetic. If you own in either community and want to know which buyer pool your home will meet, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation. If you are a buyer choosing between them, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and see how we represent buyers in Estero.
McGreevy and Comisar price a home in The Place at Corkscrew against recent closings at the same size, bedroom count and phase, then adjust for lot width, lake or preserve position, roof and air conditioning age, and approved improvements. We never start from the community median, a portal estimate or the asking prices next door.
Data updated: October 2026
The MLS record shows size groups that behave differently: 11 sales under 2,000 square feet at a $580,000 median, 38 sales at 2,000 to 2,399 at $606,000, 30 at 2,400 to 2,799 at $761,000, 5 at 2,800 to 3,199 at $948,900, 8 at 3,200 to 3,599 at $812,500 and 11 at 3,600 and up at $1,110,000. We take the last 6 to 12 months of closings at your size, rank them, and ask where your home belongs.
The community has seven recorded plat phases that map onto two CDD bond areas. Lot widths of 52, 62 and 75 feet, all nominally 170 feet deep, carry minimum living areas of 1,600, 1,800 and 2,200 square feet, and the CDD assessment depends on both fields. A Phase 1 home on a 52-foot lot pays $1,185.41 a year of CDD in FY2027; the same lot in Phase 2 pays $1,398.17, a difference of $212.76 a year that a buyer's lender sees and a model does not.
Portal estimates, including the best-known portal estimate, blend a 1,852 square foot home at $455,000 and a 4,341 square foot home at $1,162,000 into one number. They cannot see the phase, the lot width, the CDD line on the tax bill, the flat association fee that breaks the usual lot-size-to-fee link, or the annual food and beverage minimum. A buyer sees the same estimate you do, so your list price needs a written, sourced rationale built from closings that match your home.
On October 21, 2026 the MLS pull showed 12 listings, from $518,000 for 2,032 square feet to $1,199,000 for 3,876 square feet. We read each competing listing's size, condition and price history, and we set your number where it wins the comparison on the first day rather than where it merely matches it.

McGreevy and Comisar market a home in The Place at Corkscrew to the buyers actually buying here: people who want a gated community with a resort amenity campus, no golf assessment and a 2017 to 2023 build. That means professional photography, aerial and video, a documents file ready on day one and database outreach beyond the gate.
Data updated: October 2026
The Lee County 2026 final roll shows 905 of 1,316 homes with a Florida homestead exemption, 68.8%, so most owners declared this their permanent Florida residence [Source: Lee County Property Appraiser 2025 certified NAL roll download]. The MLS record adds price steps: 3 sales under $500,000, 49 between $500,000 and $699,999, 45 between $700,000 and $999,999 and 6 at $1,000,000 or more. We market each home to the buyer for its band, and we describe the home and the amenities and let the buyer decide whether they fit.
The community's strengths are clearer from above: a 1,361-acre gated site with, by the developer's account, more than 700 acres in recorded conservation easement, lakes and a resort campus with a 12,000 square foot pool, a 100-foot waterslide and eight pickleball courts [Source: The Place at Corkscrew amenities]. Professional photography, aerial capture, twilight exteriors, a measured floor plan and a video walk-through are standard on every McGreevy and Comisar listing, not an upgrade.
The strongest marketing piece for a home here is a folder, not a photo. Ours holds the association estoppel, your phase and lot width, the CDD's current assessment and payoff-quote contact, the fee stack in one table, the flood zone and evacuation zone, the Architectural Review Committee approvals, equipment dates and any wind mitigation report [Source: Corkscrew Farms CDD finances and document index]. A buyer who never has to ask those questions writes an offer sooner.
The listing goes into the Southwest Florida MLS and out through its syndication, onto our own sites, and into targeted email and social campaigns to our database of Southwest Florida contacts, including out-of-state and Canadian seasonal buyers. The association has no official social media, so your marketing has to reach buyers outside the gate. Follow our current listings on Instagram.
Guest and vendor passes are issued through the ISN Resident app or web portal, are valid for a maximum of three days, and a valid driver license is required at the gate [Source: The Place at Corkscrew community guide]. We set up showing access before launch so no buyer waits at the gate. Marc handles the field side, and for seasonal owners we keep a key protocol, a showing log and feedback after every visit.
Only association-approved For Sale signs are permitted, real estate companies provide their own signs to exact association specifications, and a sign goes only in the front planting bed of the property being marketed [Source: Architectural Review Committee Guidelines, amended February 20, 2023]. We arrive with a compliant sign, not a standard yard sign.
Not every seller wants a public launch. An estate sale, a health change or a tenant in place is often better handled quietly, through direct agent-to-agent outreach and our own buyer database. Less exposure can mean a lower price, and we will tell you plainly which way that trade lands for your home.
If you want to see the marketing plan for your home before you commit, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or start with a free home valuation. If you are a buyer who wants early notice when a home comes to market here, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero.
Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar negotiate every offer in The Place at Corkscrew themselves. In a community with a master association, a CDD bond, a resale contribution and a member account, negotiation runs past price into the disclosure delivery, the inspection, the buyer's insurance quote and the estoppel, and each is a point where a seller's money is protected or given away.
The person who priced your home is the person across the table from the buyer's agent. Offers are not relayed by a coordinator and counters are not written from a template. That matters most where the buyer's agent cites the lowest sale at a size and we cite the ones that match your home's size, phase and condition.
The $1,000 resale contribution falls on the transferee, meaning the buyer, under Section 4.13 of the Declaration, but it is negotiable like any other closing item, and in a market that sold at a median 96.8% of list it is a concession lever [Source: The Place at Corkscrew community guide]. We price it into the counter instead of leaving it for the closing statement.
Because the association is a Chapter 720 homeowners association, the buyer's cancellation right runs 3 days from receiving the section 720.401 disclosure summary or until closing, whichever comes first, if the summary was not provided before contract [Source: Florida Statutes 720.401]. We deliver the summary with or before the contract, so the clock starts and ends early.
A buyer's inspector will date the roof, air conditioning system and water heater in a home built between 2017 and 2023, and will look at the builder-installed smart home hardware that Lennar first launched here in 2017. A pre-listing inspection finds those items on your schedule, not inside the buyer's inspection window. When a repair request arrives, we compare the cost of the fix with the cost of a credit and answer with numbers.
The buyer's homeowners premium depends on the roof, the openings, the wind mitigation features and the carrier. Florida requires insurers to offer discounts for windstorm-mitigation features such as opening protection and roof-deck attachment [Source: Florida Statutes 627.0629]. A wind mitigation report in the file often turns an insurance objection into a smaller number.
The estoppel certificate is where an unpaid assessment, a fine or a member dining balance shows, and Florida law caps the fee and sets its turnaround [Source: Florida Statutes 720.30851]. We order it at listing and settle any balance before a buyer's agent finds it.
Some concessions cost a seller less than the headline suggests. Covering a buyer's estoppel fee, crediting the $1,000 resale contribution, crediting a water heater replacement or paying for a roof certification can be cheaper than a price cut of the same size, and it does not lower the recorded sale price the next appraisal will read. We model each option before we answer an offer.
If you have an offer in hand or expect one, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation to test it. If you are a buyer preparing an offer here, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and see how we represent buyers in Estero.
Selling a home in The Place at Corkscrew costs the negotiated brokerage commission, Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100 of price, the owner's title policy customarily paid by the seller in Lee County, the association estoppel certificate, and prorated property taxes, CDD and association assessments. At the $695,000 median, doc stamps are $4,865 and the promulgated title premium is $3,550.
Data updated: September 2026
Florida charges documentary stamp tax of $0.70 per $100 of consideration, or portion thereof, on a deed, and the seller customarily pays it on a Florida resale [Source: Florida Statutes 201.02] [Source: Florida Department of Revenue, documentary stamp tax]. At the $695,000 12-month median it is $4,865, and it appears on your closing statement as one line.
In Lee County, the seller customarily chooses the title company and pays for the buyer's owner's title policy, the reverse of the Collier County habit. The premium is promulgated by the state under Florida Administrative Code Rule 69O-186.003, so the base rate is the same at every title company, but the contract controls who pays [Source: Florida Administrative Code Rule 69O-186.003] [Source: Florida Department of Financial Services, title insurance overview]. A buyer relocating from Collier may assume the opposite, so we confirm the allocation in writing at offer.
An estoppel certificate states what is owed on your home and any fees due at transfer. Florida caps the homeowners association fee at a base of $250 when the account is current, $100 more for delivery within three business days and $150 more if the account is delinquent, adjusted every five years for inflation, and the certificate is valid for 30 days; Florida DBPR publishes the adjusted amounts as $299, $119 and $179, which the issuing association confirms [Source: Florida DBPR, Estoppel Certificate Fees] [Source: Florida Statutes 720.30851] [Source: HB 979 (2024) staff analysis]. The association's current estoppel fee is not published in any document we could reach, so we do not print one; order the estoppel early, because a member dining balance can surface on it.
Section 4.13 of the Declaration sets a $1,000 resale contribution due from the transferee on each subsequent conveyance, collected at closing, and the association's audited statements document it [Source: Audited Financial Statements, year ended December 31, 2021]. It defaults to the buyer, it is negotiable, and we put it on the table as a concession where it helps your price. A one-time $500 initial capital contribution applied to original purchases from the developer or a builder and is historical for most homes.
Florida property tax is assessed on a calendar year and paid in arrears, so a seller closing before the bill is issued credits the buyer with the seller's share of the year, days owned divided by 365 times the annual tax, usually estimated from the prior year's bill [Source: Florida Department of Revenue, taxpayer information] [Source: Lee County Tax Collector, property taxes]. The CDD assessment rides the same bill under the uniform method, so it prorates the same way, and the quarterly association assessment is prorated as your contract directs.
Since August 17, 2024, offers of buyer broker compensation may not be advertised in the MLS, buyers sign written agreements with their own agents before touring, and every commission is negotiable and not set by law [Source: National Association of REALTORS, settlement FAQs] [Source: National Association of REALTORS, written buyer agreements]. What you negotiate with us is the listing side. Whether to offer anything toward the buyer's agent is a separate decision we make together, off the MLS, based on the buyers your home is likely to meet. Florida law also requires us to disclose the brokerage relationship [Source: Florida Statutes 475.278].

Your own net sheet uses your contract price, your tax bill, your CDD assessment and your closing date, and we build it with you before you sign a listing agreement. For the statewide breakdown of every line, see our guide to seller closing costs in Florida.
If you want your net sheet built before you decide, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation. If you are buying and want the buyer's side of these costs, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero.
A seller in The Place at Corkscrew supplies the section 720.401 homeowners association disclosure summary before the buyer signs, and every Florida seller gives the property tax summary in section 689.261, the flood disclosure in section 689.302 and known material defects. The community is a Chapter 720 association with no condominium ownership.
Section 720.401 sets four facts a seller should know. First, timing: the disclosure is due before the buyer executes the contract, not at closing. Second, who supplies it: on a resale, the owner who is not the developer. Third, the contract must carry the statute's voidability clause in conspicuous type. Fourth, if the disclosure was not provided, the buyer may cancel within 3 days after receiving it or before closing, whichever comes first, and that right cannot be waived and ends at closing [Source: Florida Statutes 720.401]. The association's Articles, its audited statements and the CDD roll all describe a Chapter 720 homeowners association of single-family homes.
Section 720.401(2) says the summary does not apply to associations regulated under chapters 718, 719, 721 or 723. That fork matters in a master community that mixes condominiums, but The Place at Corkscrew has none: its 1,316 county parcels are all use code 001 single-family, so Chapter 718 resale documents do not apply here. If you own a home elsewhere that sits under a condominium association, your closing agent or attorney will tell you which regime governs. This is information, not legal advice.
We have not confirmed whether the recorded Master Declaration, Lee County Instrument No. 2017000047834, restates the disclosure duty, because the 205-page instrument's Section 12 has to be pulled from the clerk and read in a browser, and we do not publish a reading we have not done. What the sources do show is a documented split: the seller owes the disclosure before contract, and the transferee owes the $1,000 resale contribution at closing under Section 4.13. Whether the leasing terms in Section 12 have changed since turnover is also unread.
Section 689.261 requires that a buyer of residential property receive a property tax disclosure summary at or before contract, warning that the buyer should not rely on the seller's current taxes because a change of ownership can trigger reassessment [Source: Florida Statutes 689.261]. In this community the effect is measurable: homesteaded owners owe a median $6,283 and non-homesteaded owners a median $7,667 on the 2026 final roll.
Florida's residential flood disclosure requires a seller to give the buyer, at or before contract, answers on known flooding during ownership, flood insurance claims and federal assistance [Source: Florida Statutes 689.302]. The honest answers depend on your own home's history, and the panel number and zone belong next to them.
Under Johnson v. Davis, 480 So. 2d 625 (Fla. 1985), a seller who knows of facts materially affecting a home's value that are not readily observable must disclose them. Here that means known leaks, roof or systems problems, storm damage and repairs, insurance claims, open permits, unapproved exterior work and pending assessments you know about. Transaction brokers carry a matching duty [Source: Florida Statutes 475.278].
Nothing in this section is legal advice; confirm the forms with your closing agent or attorney. If you want your disclosure file assembled before you list, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation. If you are a buyer who wants help reading a resale package, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero.
A buyer in The Place at Corkscrew pays a flat $1,220.46 per quarter to the association, a CDD assessment of $1,185.41 to $1,717.32 a year on the tax bill, a $480 annual food and beverage minimum as of the 2023 budget, and a one-time $1,000 resale contribution, plus property tax at 13.1503 mills for 2026, insurance and utilities.
Data updated: October 2026
The association figure is the 2024 approved budget, the last one we could verify, and the food and beverage figure is from the 2023 budget; the current numbers come off the estoppel, which is why a seller who orders it first controls the conversation.
| Layer | Amount | Period | Who owes it and when | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Association assessment | $1,220.46 per quarter ($4,881.84 per year), flat for every home, 2024 approved budget | Quarterly | Owner, from closing forward; seller pays through closing | 2024 Approved Budget |
| CDD assessment, FY2027 (November 2026 tax bill) | $1,185.41 to $1,717.32 per year by phase and lot width | Annual, on the Lee County tax bill | Owner of record; prorated at closing | Corkscrew Farms CDD FY2027 Adopted Budget |
| Food and beverage minimum | $480 per year, 2023 budget note; current status not verified | Billed on the quarterly statement | Owner, through the member account | 2023 Approved Operating Budget |
| Resale contribution | $1,000, Section 4.13 of the Declaration | One time, at closing | Transferee by default; negotiable | Audited Financial Statements, 2021 |
| Fixed total before tax, insurance and utilities | $6,547.25 to $7,079.16 per year | Annual | Owner | The Place at Corkscrew community guide |
| Property tax | 13.2005 mills adopted for 2025 and 13.1503 applied for 2026 in district 079; reset for the buyer after a sale | Annual | Owner of record; prorated at closing | 2025 Taxing District Millage Book |
| Cable, internet, trash, water, electric | Individually contracted or billed by Lee County and FPL | Monthly | Owner | The Place at Corkscrew community guide |
| Homeowners and wind insurance, flood insurance if elected | Quote-dependent | Annual | Buyer | Florida Department of Financial Services |
The flat assessment buys landscape maintenance and irrigation on every individual lot, two manned gatehouses, common-area landscaping, lake and preserve upkeep, roads and streetlights, and the amenity campus, including the fitness center, pool, splash pad, tennis, pickleball and Kids Club, plus a $115 per home per quarter reserve contribution [Source: 2024 Approved Budget]. It does not include the CDD, cable or internet, trash, interior pest control, water, sewer or electric, or exterior maintenance of the home.
In Florida a change of ownership resets a homestead's assessed value to just value as of the next January 1, and the seller's Save Our Homes cap does not transfer with the home [Source: Florida Statutes 193.155]. Across the 1,316 homes on the 2026 final roll, $90.9 million of value is sheltered by those caps, an average of $69,091 per home, so your current bill is not what a new owner will pay. Showing that math before the buyer's lender does builds trust.
Prepayment of the CDD assessment exists as a mechanism, but the per-lot payoff amount, any premium and the notice window live in documents the district does not post, and we do not print a number for them. A payoff quote is parcel-specific and routine to request from the district manager, Inframark Infrastructure Management Services, and we order it for clients before an offer goes in [Source: Corkscrew Farms CDD questions page].
If you want the fee stack for your home set out before you list, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation. If you are a buyer who wants the numbers checked line by line, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero.
The Place at Corkscrew sits in a single FEMA Zone X polygon, Evacuation Zone E and the National Weather Service's Inland Lee forecast zone, at ground elevations of 21 to 29 feet. That is a clean, specific story to put in the listing file, and a buyer's insurance agent will ask for each piece of it.
FEMA's flood layer returned Zone X, area of minimal flood hazard, at fourteen separate points and across the community's footprint, with no Special Flood Hazard Area, no base flood elevation and no Letter of Map Revision behind it; the governing Lee County panel is 12071C0625F, effective August 28, 2008 [Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer]. A federally backed mortgage does not require flood insurance in Zone X, though a private lender may.
Lee County places the community in Evacuation Zone E, Surge Zone 5, the last zone called, corresponding to a Category 5 surge scenario [Source: Lee County Evacuation Zones dataset]. Say Zone E in your listing, not that the community has no evacuation zone, because Lee County has an NC category and this community is not in it.
NOAA books Hurricane Ian's Lee County impacts in two zones: Coastal Lee with 60 direct deaths and $7.0 billion in property damage, and Inland Lee, the forecast zone containing this community, with 0 deaths and no quantified property damage [Source: NCEI Storm Events, Inland Lee zone record]. FEMA's claims file shows five flood claims in the census tract over its whole history, two from Ian and neither paid on the building, against 28,696 Ian claims countywide [Source: The Place at Corkscrew community guide]. The tract is larger than the community, and wind is a separate peril, so we state both limits.
The rules that affect a sale in The Place at Corkscrew are the architectural approval file, association-specified signage, the vehicle and commercial-marking rule, the pet amendment, guest limits at the amenities and the leasing terms, which are not yet verified. Each one appears in a buyer's questions or your closing file.
Every exterior change needs written Architectural Review Committee approval under a 79-page set of guidelines amended February 20, 2023, the committee has 30 days to respond, and the guidelines carry a deemed-approval clause if it does not [Source: Architectural Review Committee Guidelines, amended February 20, 2023]. An open application, an unmet condition or unpermitted work will surface, so we audit the file before listing.
The rules require the front-yard lamp post to stay operational during all hours of darkness. A dark lantern is a compliance item and the first thing a buyer sees at dusk, so we replace the bulb before photography, not after the estoppel.
Vehicles with commercial markings, racks or tools in the bed, boats and trailers must be parked in an enclosed garage at all times, and overnight parking in the roadway is prohibited [Source: Rules and Regulations, August 27, 2021 edition]. A buyer with a work truck will ask, and your listing should say that garages here hold two or three cars.
Pet rules come from a recorded amendment, the Second Amendment executed August 15, 2018, which sets no numeric limit on pets and no weight limit, prohibits pit bulls, wolf hybrids and aggressive dogs, and bars commercial pet activity [Source: Second Amendment to the Master Declaration]. Confirm nothing has changed since turnover before you state it in a listing.
The community caps registered guests at 100 per day across all members, day guests at 6 per member, and houseguests staying in your home may use the amenities unaccompanied for up to 15 days per registration. Member ID cards are non-transferable. These rules explain why your buyer's amenity access starts when the association issues new cards after closing.
Leasing is permitted and the governing documents refer to lessees and tenants throughout, but the minimum lease term, the annual lease cap, tenant approval and any short-term rental rule sit in Section 12 of the recorded Declaration, which we have not yet read. We will not print a number. If a buyer wants to rent the home, we pull Instrument No. 2017000047834 and read Section 12 before you promise anything.
Homes in The Place at Corkscrew sold in a median 66 days on market over the last 12 months, and 141 of the 463 closings in the last 60 months landed in November, May and June. Allow a contract period of 30 to 60 days after that for the documents, inspection, insurance and the estoppel.

November, May and June carried 141 of the 463 closings, about 30%, and December had the fewest with 30. The 60-month window includes the 2021 and 2022 rush, so treat the calendar as a tendency, not a rule.
Of the 103 closings in the last 12 months, 29 sold within 30 days, 35 took 31 to 90 days and 39 took longer than 90 days, with the longest at 294 days. The four that took longer than 200 days took 231, 266, 288 and 294 days, and a home that sits that long is usually priced against the wrong rung of its size ladder or missing the paperwork a buyer needs.
Many owners are seasonal or relocating, and a sale can run without you flying down. Documents are signed electronically or with a mobile notary, the title company can close by mail, and the association documents are ordered online. Marc manages showings, vendor visits and storm checks on site. If you are a foreign seller, the federal FIRPTA withholding rules apply, and your closing agent and tax adviser should see them early [Source: Internal Revenue Service, FIRPTA withholding].

Homes in The Place at Corkscrew sell best when the paperwork is finished before the photographs. Clear the architectural file, settle the member account, date the roof and air conditioning, document the storm protection, fix what an inspector will flag, order the association documents, then stage and photograph. The steps below run in that order.
Data updated: September 2026
Fix what an inspector will flag: leaks, failing equipment, damaged screens, open permits. Refresh what a buyer sees first: paint, lighting, dated flooring, hardware. Think carefully before a full remodel. The 12-month record shows the market paying for position and condition, with the same 2,445 square feet selling for $550,000 in December and $850,000 in May, but a remodel costs time and money and has to be priced against the top of your size ladder. We tell you which dollars come back.
A buyer walking a 2,445 square foot home wants to see the kitchen island, the great room and the lanai, and to know what the pool and lake position give them. Decide early whether furniture stays, because it changes the comparable set and the buyer pool. Stage the lanai and the water or preserve view, which are what a buyer at this price actually walks toward.
If you want a walk-through with a prioritized repair list, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation. If you are a buyer who wants to know what a well-prepared home here looks like before you tour, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Estero.
Listings in The Place at Corkscrew should sell the amenity campus and the ownership structure before anything else: a gated resort-amenity community with a 12,500 square foot clubhouse, a separate restaurant building, no golf assessment, a 2017 to 2023 build, and drive times of about 17 minutes to I-75 Exit 123 and 32 minutes to Southwest Florida International Airport.
The amenity campus covers roughly 20 acres across three street addresses, with a 12,000 square foot resort pool, splash pad, 100-foot waterslide, spa, 24-hour fitness center, movement studio, five Har-Tru tennis courts plus a practice court, eight pickleball courts, bocce, a 4,000 square foot dog park and a staffed Kids Club for ages 2 to 9 [Source: The Place at Corkscrew amenities]. The pool deck closes for a full week four times a year for maintenance, which we mention rather than hide.
Free-flow modelled drive times from the community: Publix at Estero Crossing about 16 minutes, I-75 Exit 123 about 17, Coconut Point about 20, Florida Gulf Coast University about 22, Miromar Outlets about 22, Southwest Florida International Airport about 32, Bonita Beach Park about 35 and Barefoot Beach about 40 [Source: The Place at Corkscrew community guide]. The Corkscrew Road segment fronting the community is still two lanes, and the next widening phase is projected for the early 2030s and pending funding.
Lee County uses a choice and lottery system, and this address sits in Elementary Proximity Zone Q, Middle Proximity Zone GG and High School South Sub-zone 3.

Say what the record supports: a flat association assessment, a phase-based CDD on the tax bill, one FEMA Zone X polygon, Evacuation Zone E and a 2017 to 2023 build. Do not say "no CDD" or "no HOA," do not call the community part of the Village of Estero, do not say there is no evacuation zone, and do not promise short-term rental income or a beach nearby. Our Estero community guide covers the wider village for buyers who are new to the area.

The most instructive recent sales in The Place at Corkscrew are 14 homes with the same 3+Den/3(0) layout and the same 2,445 square feet of listed living area that sold between $550,000 and $850,000 in 12 months, with days on market from 7 to 294. This guide does not cite a Place closing of our own, so we teach from the public MLS record.
Data updated: October 2026
We will be straight with you: the market pull behind this page is the community's closed MLS record, not our transaction file, and we do not present a sale of our own here that we cannot show you. We would rather say that than dress up a story. The record teaches the same lessons a first-hand story would, and every figure in it can be checked against the MLS.
Between November 24, 2025 and September 24, 2026, fourteen homes with 2,445 square feet of listed living area and three bedrooms plus a den closed at $800,000 after 174 days, $550,000 after 36, $565,000 after 266, $754,000 after 179, $765,000 after 80, $765,000 after 64, $560,000 after 294, $769,900 after 131, $625,000 after 105, $820,000 after 7, $850,000 after 11, $769,900 after 46, $743,000 after 40 and $730,000 after 39. Their median was $759,500, and three sold at or below $565,000 while eight sold at $754,000 or more.
We do not know any of those sellers' circumstances, the MLS row does not show condition, lot or pool, and a long listing can be the right answer for an estate or a home that needs work. But the numbers frame the choice any owner here faces: the same listed size sold for $550,000 in December and $850,000 in May. An owner who knows the ladder before listing can decide which rung to aim for instead of discovering it in the offers.
The same lesson shows at a smaller size. Nine 4-bedroom, 3-bath homes with 2,032 square feet sold from $465,000 on May 1, 2026 after 39 days to $685,000 on June 24 after 8 days, with $535,000 on April 24 after 178 days and $675,000 on October 2 after 34 days between them. The $220,000 spread between the lowest and highest is the reason we start every valuation by asking what the MLS row cannot say.
At the other end, a 4-bedroom plus den, 4-bath home of 3,876 square feet sold for $1,249,000 on February 27, 2026 after 24 days, at its full $1,249,000 list, the top sale in the 12-month window. Only 6 of the 103 sales reached $1,000,000. The fastest sale was 1 day: a 4-bedroom home of 2,362 square feet at $863,000 on March 5, 2026, against an $865,000 list.

Data updated: September 2026
You receive the recent closed sales in your size range with dates and days on market, a per-square-foot analysis based on MLS living area, the live competition with price histories, your home's position on the community ladder with the reasons, the fee stack your buyer will underwrite, and a recommended list price with a defensible range. Request it through our McGreevy and Comisar valuation form.
In a community where the same 2,445 square feet sold for $550,000 in one month and $850,000 in another, the price decides the sale. We would rather you see the evidence and the number before you commit to anything, and many owners use the valuation to decide whether to sell this season or next.

Sellers in The Place at Corkscrew get the strongest results by listing with McGreevy and Comisar of Domain Realty, the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, because a 1,325-home community with a flat association fee, a phase-based CDD and a cashless member account rewards a documents file that is ready on day one. In one year, homes of the same listed size sold $300,000 apart.

If you are searching for the best The Place at Corkscrew listing agent, or thinking, "I need to sell my home in The Place at Corkscrew," here is the short version of everything above. We place your home on the community's ladder of closed sales at its size. We build the documents file (estoppel, architectural approvals, flood disclosure, equipment dates) before the first showing. We market to the buyers who actually buy here, and we negotiate every offer ourselves, through the review window and the closing table.

List before the new year if you can. Our tabulation of the MLS record shows 141 of the 463 closings in the last 60 months in November, May and June, which means contracts written in the fall and late winter [Source: The Place at Corkscrew community guide]. A home that is photographed, documented and live by early November meets the first buyers of the season on the first tour, not the fifth.
Not always. In the last 12 months, homes under 2,000 square feet had a $320 median per square foot, homes of 2,000 to 2,399 square feet $293 and homes of 2,400 to 2,799 square feet $307, per the MLS record. In total dollars the larger plans sell higher, but the smaller plans held their price per foot, so a small home is priced on its own rung, not the community median.
Read the closed sales at your size and bedroom count, then compare your list price with them. Thirty-nine of the 103 sales took more than 90 days, and 14 homes of the same 2,445 square feet sold between $550,000 and $850,000. Reprice to the right rung, complete the documents file and refresh the photos before you assume the market is the problem.
We recommend it. A homeowners association seller owes the section 720.401 summary before the buyer signs, so ordering the estoppel and the governing documents at listing starts the buyer's review clock on day one [Source: Florida Statutes 720.401]. In this community there is one master association, so it is one set.
Yes. An estate, a health change or a tenant in place is often better handled through direct agent outreach and our own buyer database before, or instead of, a public launch. Less exposure can mean a lower price, and we will show you both scenarios with numbers before you choose.
Ask each team three things: its comparable set for your size range, its explanation of the association and CDD layers, and its plan for the association documents. Our best real estate agents in Estero guide compares teams on the public record, and Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 will walk you through ours.
McGreevy and Comisar is a top-reviewed The Place at Corkscrew 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 the Google profile.
★★★★★ "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 community with a wide price ladder, a listing that sits is usually priced against the wrong rung or missing the documents a buyer needs. Repricing to the right comparables and completing the file is often all it takes.
★★★★★ "Marc made an extremely stressful time of selling my parents' house easier because of his expertise, compassion, and diligence. I cannot thank him enough and I would recommend him without reservation." Verified Google review
Many sales here are handled by families who live elsewhere, including estate sales run by adult children. We coordinate the home on site, work with the estate's attorney when there is one and keep the family informed at every step.
★★★★★ "Marc and Jesse were amazing to work with AGAIN! We just sold our 3rd home with them and couldn't have been happier! If we ever move again we'll always call Jesse and Marc!" Verified Google review
Owners who sell here often buy or sell again in Southwest Florida. We run both sides as one plan, including the timing of two closings.
A specialist in The Place at Corkscrew matters because the facts that decide a sale here live in documents, not in a listing feed: a flat association assessment, a phase-based CDD bond, a cashless member account, a resale contribution, an architectural review process, a single flood zone and a price range from $455,000 to $1,249,000.

A general agent may price a home off the community median, list without the phase and CDD line, wait until contract to order the estoppel, forget the $1,000 resale contribution, leave an unpaid dining balance on the member account, or describe the location as inside the Village of Estero when it is unincorporated Lee County. None of those mistakes is exotic, and each one costs a seller time or money.
Every Estero community sells differently, and we publish a seller guide for each one we cover. If you own in more than one community, or you are comparing notes with a neighbor, see our guides to selling a home in Estero, selling a home in Meadows of Estero and selling a home in Lakes of Estero. The wider market picture for the village is on our Estero community hub, and the neighbor we compare most often is covered in our The Preserve at Corkscrew guide.

Whether you are selling in The Place at Corkscrew, The Preserve at Corkscrew, Corkscrew Shores, Bella Terra, Grandezza, Wildcat Run, Verdana Village, or WildBlue, our team provides local market guidance, professional listing exposure, and a clear plan to help you sell confidently.

Sellers in The Place at Corkscrew often buy again in Southwest Florida, sometimes closer to the beach, sometimes in the same corridor. We run both sides as one plan, including the timing of two closings and the Save Our Homes portability claim that can carry accumulated tax savings to your next Florida homestead.
Florida's portability rule lets a homestead owner who establishes a new Florida homestead within the statutory window transfer the difference between just value and capped assessed value, up to $500,000, to the new home [Source: Florida Statutes 193.155] [Source: Florida Department of Revenue, PT-112 portability guide]. The January 1 test matters, because homestead status is fixed on that date each year. We sequence both closings around it. Across the community, $90.9 million of value sits under those caps on the 2026 final roll, so for many owners the portable amount is real.
Some owners move between The Place at Corkscrew and its neighbors for a different size or a different fee stack. The table earlier on this page sets ten nearby communities side by side, and our The Preserve at Corkscrew guide covers the closest one in depth.

Owners in The Place at Corkscrew ask these questions before they sell, and each answer below is written for a Lee County seller in a gated community with one master association, in a single paragraph with its source. They cover price, timing, the association documents, the estoppel, disclosure, costs and the choices around renting and preparing.

Sellers list with McGreevy and Comisar because the answers below show up in the price:
Nothing here is legal or tax advice; confirm anything that affects your sale with your closing agent, attorney or CPA.
Start with a written valuation built from closed sales at your size and bedroom count, then build the documents file before you list. That file holds the estoppel, the governing documents, architectural approvals, the flood disclosure, equipment dates and a wind mitigation report. Price the home on the community's ladder, market it, and deliver the section 720.401 summary with the contract. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to begin.
Hire a team that prices from the closed record at your size, knows the Chapter 720 resale rules and personally negotiates your offer. McGreevy and Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and the #1 Team in Southwest Florida since 2012, and Jesse and Marc handle every listing themselves. Our best real estate agents in Estero guide compares teams on the public record.
Most homes sold between $455,000 and $1,249,000 in the 12 months to October 21, 2026, and size decides the starting point. The overall median was $695,000, with homes of 2,000 to 2,399 square feet at $606,000, 2,400 to 2,799 square feet at $761,000 and 3,600 square feet and up at $1,110,000, per the Southwest Florida MLS. A written valuation through our free home valuation places your home.
One hundred three homes closed in the 12 months to October 21, 2026, for $74,574,692 in total volume, per the Southwest Florida MLS. That is about 7.8% of the community's 1,325 platted homes. The county's public sales file shows 102 qualified recorded sales since October 2025, through September 11, 2026, and we show both counts side by side because each answers a different question.
The median sold price was $695,000 for the 12 months to October 21, 2026, with a median of $296 per square foot, per the Southwest Florida MLS. It differs by size: 11 homes under 2,000 square feet had a $580,000 median and 11 of 3,600 square feet and up a $1,110,000 median, so a community-wide number is a poor guide to your home.
The highest closed sale in the 12 months to October 21, 2026 was $1,249,000, for a 4-bedroom plus den, 4-bath, 3,876-square-foot home on February 27, 2026, at 100.0% of list after 24 days, per the Southwest Florida MLS. A home of the same size closed at $1,217,500 on November 14, 2025, and only 6 of the 103 sales reached $1,000,000.
The median was 66 days on market over the last 12 months, per the Southwest Florida MLS. Twenty-nine of 103 sold within 30 days and 39 took more than 90, with the longest at 294 days. Correct pricing and strong marketing are the biggest levers on speed, and both are what our team delivers.
The record is mixed, and we say so. Twelve homes were listed on October 21, 2026 against 103 closings in the year, about 1.4 months of supply, which is tight, but homes sold at a median 96.8% of list after 66 days. Supply favors the seller and price is still negotiated, so we price to the closed sales at your size.
Twelve homes were listed on October 21, 2026, from $518,000 for a 3-bedroom plus den, 2,032-square-foot home to $1,199,000 for a 4-bedroom plus den, 3,876-square-foot home, at a $729,900 median ask, per the Southwest Florida MLS. Eight more were pending with a contingency, and we track active, pending and sold inventory for you.
Over the last 12 months, 50 homes with three bedrooms had a $662,500 median at $313 per square foot, and 36 homes with four bedrooms a $707,500 median at $281 per square foot, per the Southwest Florida MLS. The 4-bedroom median days on market was 41.5 against 67.5 for three bedrooms, and the 5-bedroom group took 133.
Down over the last year, and mixed over five. The 12-month median of $695,000 compares with $765,000 in the prior 12 months, $825,000 and $800,000 in the two before that and $750,000 five years back, per the Southwest Florida MLS. The price per square foot slipped from $332 in year 4 to $296 today, so the drop is not explained by the mix of home sizes.
The median was $296 per square foot of living area over the last 12 months, per the Southwest Florida MLS, and it varies by size from $242 for homes of 3,200 to 3,599 square feet to $320 for homes under 2,000. We calculate it from the relevant recent sales for your home rather than a community-wide figure that would not fit your property.
November, May and June carried 141 of the 463 closings in the last 60 months, about 30%, and December only 30, per the Southwest Florida MLS. Closings trail contracts by 30 to 60 days, so a home listed early meets the first buyers of the season. Well-priced homes sell year-round, and we advise on timing for your situation.
Compare your list price with the closed sales at your size and bedroom count, not with other asking prices. Thirty-nine of 103 sales took more than 90 days, and 14 homes of the same 2,445 square feet sold between $550,000 and $850,000. Reprice to the right rung, complete the documents file and refresh the photos, and the market usually answers.
Yes, the community is a Chapter 720 homeowners association of single-family homes, so the section 720.401 summary applies to an owner who is not the developer [Source: Florida Statutes 720.401]. Section 720.401(2) excludes associations regulated under chapters 718, 719, 721 or 723, and all 1,316 county parcels here are single-family use code 001. Confirm with your closing agent or attorney.
Before the buyer signs the contract, not at closing, and the owner selling (not the developer) supplies it, per section 720.401 [Source: Florida Statutes 720.401]. If it was not provided, the buyer may cancel within 3 days after receiving it or before closing, whichever comes first, and the right cannot be waived.
In Lee County, the seller customarily pays for the buyer's owner's title insurance policy, so plan for it in your net proceeds. At a $695,000 price the promulgated premium is $3,550, and at $1,000,000 it is $5,075. Your contract can allocate it differently, and we map the full closing-cost picture, including association fees, before you list [Source: Florida Administrative Code Rule 69O-186.003].
Florida charges $0.70 per $100 of price on the deed, which is $4,865 at the $695,000 median, $4,200 at $600,000 and $7,000 at $1,000,000, and the seller customarily pays it [Source: Florida Department of Revenue, documentary stamp tax]. It is one line on your closing statement, calculated on the price rounded up to the next $100.
The association issues an estoppel certificate under section 720.30851, with a statutory fee cap, a 30-day validity and a refund if the sale does not close [Source: Florida Statutes 720.30851]. The association's actual estoppel fee is not published where we could reach it, so we order it early and read the balance, including any dining charge. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
Section 4.13 of the Declaration sets a $1,000 contribution due from the transferee on each subsequent conveyance, so by default it is the buyer's cost, collected at closing [Source: Audited Financial Statements, year ended December 31, 2021]. It is negotiable, and offering to cover it can be a low-cost concession. Confirm the allocation in your contract and on the estoppel.
Yes. Florida Statutes 689.261 requires a residential sales contract to carry a property tax disclosure summary that tells the buyer taxes may change after the sale [Source: Florida Statutes 689.261]. Here the change is real: the homesteaded median is $6,283 and the non-homesteaded median $7,667 on the 2026 final roll, and the CDD assessment rides the same bill.
Yes to known defects, and a flood disclosure is required at or before contract. Under Johnson v. Davis, a Florida seller must disclose known facts that materially affect value and are not readily observable, and section 689.302 asks about past flooding, claims and federal assistance [Source: Florida Statutes 689.302]. The community is one Zone X polygon, and we help you document your own answers.
Sellers typically provide the estoppel from The Place Master Association plus the Declaration, by-laws, rules and the current budget, and we add the architectural approvals for any exterior work. Because there is one master association and no sub-associations, it is one set for every home. We coordinate ordering everything so it is ready when a buyer needs it.
We have not confirmed whether the recorded Declaration requires a buyer application or interview, and we do not print a rule we have not read. The estoppel and Section 12 of the Declaration answer it, so we read both before we list and tell you up front. Buyers who plan to rent should also ask about the leasing terms at the same time.
Leasing is contemplated in the governing documents, but the minimum term, any annual cap and the tenant approval process sit in Section 12 of the recorded Declaration, which we have not yet read, so we do not state a number. We pull the instrument before we advise you, and we can help you weigh renting against selling with real figures.
We do not know, and we will not guess: any rental limit sits in the recorded Declaration and rules, which we confirm before you promise a buyer anything. State only what the documents say in your listing, so buyers whose plan depends on rental income can ask the right question before they tour.
Any exterior modification should have written Architectural Review Committee approval, because unapproved changes can surface during a sale and complicate closing. The committee has 30 days to respond under a deemed-approval clause in guidelines amended February 20, 2023 [Source: Architectural Review Committee Guidelines, amended February 20, 2023]. We confirm the status of prior work before you list.
Two manned gatehouses, West Gate and East Gate, control access, so showing agents and buyers pass through the gatehouse. We coordinate showing access with the association's guest process so buyers see your home smoothly, and we do not publish gate hours or procedures we have not verified.
Not everything, but strategic prep pays. Fix what an inspector will flag, refresh what a buyer sees first and think carefully before a remodel: 14 homes of the same 2,445 square feet sold between $550,000 and $850,000. We give you a prioritized prep plan for your home rather than a generic checklist.
Between the estoppel and document requirements, the phase-based CDD, the member account, the gated-showing logistics and the MLS reach needed to find the right buyer, most sellers net more and close cleaner with an experienced agent. We are glad to show you exactly how we would market your home. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
At the $695,000 median, the fixed items are $4,865 in doc stamps, $3,550 in title premium and an estoppel of up to $299, plus title search, settlement, lien search, the tax proration and any payoff. The commission is negotiated, and each 1% of price is $6,950. We build your full net sheet before you sign a listing agreement.
Since August 17, 2024, offers of buyer broker compensation cannot be advertised in the MLS, buyers sign written agreements with their own agents before touring, and every commission is negotiable and not set by law [Source: National Association of REALTORS, settlement FAQs]. What you agree with us covers the listing side, and any contribution toward the buyer's agent is a separate decision made off the MLS.
Possibly, and a tax adviser should run your numbers. The IRS lets an owner who used the home as a main home for two of the five years before the sale exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 for most married couples filing jointly; second homes and rentals do not qualify [Source: IRS Publication 523]. Keep your purchase statement and improvement records.
Amenity access is part of membership in the association, so it comes with ownership, and the buyer's member ID cards are issued after closing because cards are non-transferable [Source: Rules and Regulations, August 27, 2021 edition]. Clear any dining balance first, because the member account is part of what the estoppel reports.
Yes, the Corkscrew Farms CDD assessment runs with the property and appears on the Lee County tax bill, so it is prorated at closing and paid by the new owner afterward [Source: Corkscrew Farms CDD FY2027 Adopted Budget]. It is $1,185.41 to $1,717.32 in FY2027 by phase and lot width, and Phase 1 sheds its debt service four years before Phase 2.
The Place had 103 closings at a $695,000 median and 66 days on market, and The Preserve at Corkscrew had 15 closings at $627,800 and 84 days, per the Southwest Florida MLS. Our comparison section above sets out the fee, amenity and scale differences a buyer will weigh, and your listing has to win that comparison.
Yes. Documents are signed electronically or with a mobile notary, the title company can close by mail, and the association documents are ordered online, while Marc manages showings, vendor visits and storm checks on site. Foreign sellers should review FIRPTA withholding with their closing agent early. We handle the details so you do not have to fly down.
It simplifies the buyer's insurance math, not the sale price on its own. FEMA's layer returns one Zone X polygon with no base flood elevation, so a federally backed mortgage does not require flood insurance, though a private lender may [Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer]. We present the zone, the panel and the Evacuation Zone E fact up front, and wind insurance is a separate quote.
Send the buyer's insurer the documents that lower the number. A wind mitigation report showing opening protection and roof-deck attachment can qualify for discounts insurers must offer under Florida law [Source: Florida Statutes 627.0629]. If the quote still threatens the deal, a targeted credit is usually cheaper than a price cut.
Ask each team for its comparable set at your size, its plan for the estoppel and the CDD and member-account questions, and who will personally negotiate your offer. Then ask how it prices against 12 active listings in a year of 103 closings. Our best real estate agents in Estero guide sets the options side by side.
Sellers and buyers in The Place at Corkscrew work with Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar of Domain Realty because the team reads every closed sale inside the community, prepares the association paperwork before a buyer asks, and works from an office in Bonita Springs. Learn more about our team.
If you are thinking about selling in The Place at Corkscrew, the work begins well before the listing goes live. It begins with the size: a 1,688-square-foot home or a 4,341-square-foot home, and where yours sits on the community's ladder of closed sales. It begins with the estoppel, the architectural approvals and a clear member account. It begins with a fee stack stated in one line and a flood file that puts the single Zone X polygon beside the panel number.

Facts on this page rest on primary sources: the association and its published documents, the Corkscrew Farms Community Development District, Lee County's Property Appraiser and Tax Collector, Lee County government, Florida statutes, federal agencies and our own guides. No listing portal or competing brokerage is cited. Sources were accessed in September 2026 unless dated.
Sellers in The Place at Corkscrew can pull the documents behind this page directly from the authority that issues each one, so you always see the official, current version rather than a copy. The last row names the record that comes from the association and the office that holds it.
