The Messtimate™
The Messtimate
Estimate unavailable for this home right now. The Messtimate is a deliberately simple range — living area × recent closed-sale $/sq ft from comparable homes nearby — and it only renders when we can match at least 3 comparable closed sales from the last 18 months to this home. We could not assemble that set for this page today, so no dollar range is shown. It is not an appraisal or a valuation.
Want a property-specific value review? A licensed Momentum Realty agent can prepare a free comparative market analysis using the home, the lot, its condition, and the live market.
Methodology: the range would be 3,271 sq ft × the interquartile $/sq ft of comparable closed sales (same property type, living area within 30%, closed within 18 months, nearest verified subdivision, 3-mile, then 10-mile same-county stage). Estimate for general information only; never an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated November 8, 2026.

⚠️
Property taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.
Current owner’s estimated bill $9,525/yr ($794/mo) — taxable value $596,948 × 15.97 mills
$19,200 more each year
(+202%)
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.

What it really costs to own 665 Anchor Dr
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from this listing's MLS record, the county tax roll, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
Property tax
The current owner's bill is about $9,525/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $1,849,000 and the first-year bill resets to about $28,725/yr (the parcel is matched to the certified roll; asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × 15.97 mills); Save Our Homes caps later increases at 3%/yr.
Home and flood insurance
The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Lee County is $2,197/yr (6,508 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes differ by roof age, wind mitigation and distance to the coast. The page's modeled range for this home is $8,500–$17,500/yr; neither is a quote.
Roof and age
Built in 1985. An original roof would be about 41 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report and ask for the roof permit date.
Estimated ownership costs

Insurance (illustrative range)

May 2026 · Development
Daytona Beach approves Avalon Park Daytona, a master-planned community of about 8,800 homes west of I-95
Daytona Beach commissioners approved Avalon Park Daytona in May 2026, clearing the way for a master-planned community of about 8,800 homes on land west of Interstate 95. The approval also allows commercial and mixed-use space as the project builds out over many years.
Why it matters: A large new master-planned community adds substantial future housing supply west of Interstate 95, a shift that can influence competition and pricing for existing communities in the area. The site is about 11 miles west of Sanibel Estates.
FDOT builds a new $75 million I-95 interchange at Pioneer Trail near New Smyrna Beach
The Florida Department of Transportation is building a new $75 million interchange on Interstate 95 at Pioneer Trail near New Smyrna Beach. The roughly 2-mile project widens Pioneer Trail to four lanes and adds a roundabout at Turnbull Bay Road, with construction underway in 2026.
Why it matters: A new interstate interchange improves access and shortens drive times in southeast Volusia, the kind of infrastructure that has historically shaped where demand and new development concentrate. The site is about 7 miles southwest of Sanibel Estates.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 665 Anchor DR and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 665 Anchor DR was built in 1985 and has 3,271 sq ft of living area, 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 665 Anchor DR in?
665 Anchor DR is in Sanibel Estates in Sanibel, Lee County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Why might property taxes on 665 Anchor DR differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $28,725 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $19,200 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+202%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 665 Anchor DR in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
