Las Vegas ultra-luxury buyers shopping for the rare combination of a Tiger Woods–designed private 18-hole golf course, a guard-gated perimeter inside the Howard Hughes Corporation Summerlin master plan, lots large enough to accommodate 15,000-square-foot trophy estates, and a member roster that includes professional athletes, hedge-fund principals, and Silicon Valley founders consistently land at one address: The Summit Club. Tucked into the far-western reach of Summerlin against the Red Rock Canyon escarpment, The Summit Club operates as the most exclusive private residential community in Nevada and arguably in the entire Mountain West. Approximately 270 estate lots are planned across the master plan, of which roughly 145 have been sold or built through Q1 2026. Course play began in late 2022 and the Tiger Woods–TGR Design layout has consistently been ranked among the top 25 new private courses in the United States since opening.
This guide answers what every ultra-luxury buyer asks before a Summit Club introduction: where the community sits inside Summerlin, what 2026 lot and completed-estate pricing actually looks like, what the custom-build process involves, what membership economics include, and how The Summit Club stacks up against The Ridges immediately west, MacDonald Highlands in Henderson, and Ascaya as the Las Vegas valley's three most expensive guard-gated luxury communities. Numbers come from active GLVAR MLS data, Clark County Assessor parcel records, public Howard Hughes Corporation development materials, and the 789 transactions my team at Nevada Real Estate Group closed across the valley in 2025.
The Summit Club is an ultra-private guard-gated luxury community in far-west Summerlin (ZIP 89135) anchored by the only Tiger Woods–designed private 18-hole golf course in Nevada. Approximately 270 estate lots are planned at full buildout, with approximately 145 sold or under custom construction as of Q1 2026. Lots alone trade $2.8M to $9M+ depending on view orientation and size; completed custom estates run $7M to over $35M, with multiple 2024–2025 closings clearing $20M+. The 2026 median Summit Club closing is approximately $14.5M at a $1,950 median price per square foot — the highest residential price-per-square-foot of any community in Nevada. Membership is invitation-tied, with initiation reported in the $300,000+ range — the highest published initiation fee in the Las Vegas metro.
- The Summit Club sits in ZIP 89135 against the Red Rock Canyon escarpment in far-west Summerlin.
- Only Tiger Woods–designed private 18-hole golf course in Nevada; course play began late 2022.
- Approximately 270 estate lots planned; ~145 sold or under custom construction as of Q1 2026.
- 2026 lot pricing $2.8M–$9M+; completed custom estates $7M–$35M+ with median close approximately $14.5M.
- Most buyers cross-shop The Ridges (Summerlin), MacDonald Highlands (Henderson), and Ascaya as the valley's three most expensive guard-gated luxury alternatives.
Where Does The Summit Club Sit Inside Summerlin?
Summerlin is a 22,500-acre master-planned community built across roughly four decades by Howard Hughes Corporation. The village system divides the master plan into named neighborhoods spanning the value tier through the ultra-luxury tier — The Trails, The Paseos, The Cliffs, Reverence, Stonebridge, Red Rock Country Club, and The Ridges among the established names. The Summit Club sits in the far-western reach, west of The Ridges and immediately east of the Red Rock Canyon escarpment. The gated entry sits at the terminus of West Charleston Boulevard, with internal access to the course routing, member clubhouse, and the residential lots distributed across the master plan's roughly 555-acre footprint.
According to the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, West Charleston Boulevard west of the 215 Beltway carries approximately 31,000 daily vehicles — a moderate arterial profile compared to the central Strip-corridor arterials. The Summit Club's main gate sits well west of the 215, where through-traffic drops to under 6,000 daily vehicles, creating a meaningfully quieter approach than any other Summerlin guard-gated community.
The ZIP coverage is 89135, the highest-income ZIP in Nevada. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2024 American Community Survey, median household income across 89135 is approximately $134,800 — and the Summit Club subset within that ZIP runs dramatically higher, with member household income medians generally not publicly tracked but estimated from comparable ultra-private clubs at $2M+ annually.
Three location facts matter most. First, Red Rock adjacency: the BLM conservation area boundary sits immediately west of the perimeter, with multiple lots framing direct sandstone views. Second, elevation: 3,400 feet — 1,400 above the Strip floor, 200 above the adjacent Ridges. According to the National Weather Service Las Vegas office, the differential delivers summer afternoon temperatures 6–9°F cooler than the Strip. Third, parcel density: 555 acres across 270 lots produces an average of roughly 0.95 acres — larger than every other Summerlin community.
What Did Howard Hughes Corporation Build at The Summit Club?
Howard Hughes Corporation master-planned The Summit Club starting in approximately 2014 as a partnership with Discovery Land Company (Park City, Cabo, Maui ultra-private clubs). Tiger Woods's TGR Design firm delivered the 18-hole layout, which opened to limited member play in late 2022. Lot releases launched in 2018; the first completed custom estates began closing in 2020.
Through Q1 2026, approximately 145 lots have sold or are under custom construction — roughly 54% of the 270-lot total. Buildout completion is projected for 2030–2032. The Summit Club operates strictly on a custom-build framework: buyers acquire a lot, engage their own architect and builder, and construct under the architectural review board administered by Discovery Land and Howard Hughes Corporation. No production builders.
According to Clark County Assessor records, the average Summit Club lot is approximately 0.95 acres — roughly 5.8x the average Las Vegas valley single-family lot. The largest signature lots span 1.8 to 3.2 acres. Approved facade materials include stacked stone, smooth stucco, board-formed concrete, and natural cladding; roof materials run to standing-seam metal, clay tile, and stone-cap.
The architectural lean across completed and under-construction estates:
- Modern contemporary: approximately 48% of completed builds. Flat or low-slope roofs, expansive steel-framed glass, polished concrete or terrazzo flooring, indoor-outdoor transitions that take maximum advantage of the Red Rock views.
- Contemporary Mediterranean: approximately 22%. Cleaner-line interpretations of the broader Summerlin Mediterranean vocabulary, with refined detail and contemporary glass moves.
- Modern desert: approximately 18%. Stacked stone, board-formed concrete, native landscape integration; the architectural language that pairs most directly with the Red Rock setting.
- Transitional / mountain modern: approximately 12%. Mixed materials including timber, stone, and contemporary glass; influenced by the Discovery Land's Park City and Cabo projects.
The board does not permit traditional Mediterranean stucco-only builds (the dominant style of older Summerlin villages) or production-builder template architecture. Every completed Summit Club estate is genuinely custom-architected.
How Much Do Summit Club Estates Cost in Twenty Twenty-Six?
Pricing inside The Summit Club splits across two distinct phases: lot acquisition and estate completion. Lot pricing alone in 2026 typically runs $2.8M to $9M depending on size, view orientation, and proximity to the course or clubhouse. The largest signature view lots have transacted at $7M–$9M most recently, with one 2024 closing at $11.4M setting the lot-only ceiling.
Completed custom estates trade at a meaningfully wider band. According to GLVAR MLS data, 2024–2026 Summit Club closings span $7.2M to $34.5M, with the bulk of transactions running $10M–$22M. The 2026 median closing is approximately $14.5M at a $1,950 median price per square foot — the highest residential per-square-foot in Nevada. According to Las Vegas REALTORS March 2026 housing statistics, the Las Vegas valley median single-family home price was $465,000. The Summit Club therefore trades at roughly 31x the valley median — beyond any peer comparison inside Nevada.
Here is how 2024–2026 closings have distributed across the Summit Club price tiers:
| Price Tier | Typical Size | Lot Type | Share of Sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| $7M – $11M | 5,500–7,500 sqft | Interior, smaller view | ~22% |
| $11M – $17M | 7,500–10,500 sqft | Mid-tier course or view | ~38% |
| $17M – $25M | 10,500–14,500 sqft | Premium view / signature lot | ~26% |
| $25M+ | 13,500–18,000+ sqft | Trophy / Red Rock-frame | ~14% |
A few patterns. Red Rock-frame view lots add approximately $250–$450 per square foot over comparable interior lots. Course-fronting lots along the Tiger Woods layout add $135–$280 per square foot. Trophy-tier signature lots — typically 2+ acres with both Red Rock and course frontage — add $450–$700 per square foot over the baseline. Land-to-build ratios typically run 60/40 lot-to-improvement when measured at completion: a $4M lot supports roughly a $6M to $10M build for the rational owner who plans a 15-year hold.
What Are the Major Sub-Neighborhoods Inside The Summit Club?
Unlike older Summerlin villages organized into named sub-neighborhoods by builder product runs, The Summit Club organizes its lots into roughly six numbered phases that correspond to release windows from Howard Hughes Corporation. Phases are characterized primarily by location relative to the Tiger Woods course routing, the clubhouse complex, and the western Red Rock-frame perimeter:
- Phase I (north-central perimeter) — first releases (2018–2019), now largely built out. Interior and mixed-view lots.
- Phase II (course-fronting south corridor) — fairway frontage along Tiger Woods holes 6–12; premium course-view orientation.
- Phase III (western escarpment-facing) — premium Red Rock-frame lots; the most expensive lot allocations in the master plan.
- Phase IV (clubhouse-adjacent) — proximity to member dining, fitness, and racquet facilities; smaller lot sizes with offsetting walkable amenity access.
- Phase V (eastern view corridor) — Strip-view orientation looking back across the valley; popular with buyers who want both the Summit Club community and direct Strip frame.
- Phase VI (final release, not yet active) — remaining inventory planned for 2027–2029 release windows.
The phase distinction matters primarily for lot pricing and view orientation. Architectural and HOA standards run consistent across all phases. Buyers shopping The Summit Club generally consider all available lots across active phases concurrently rather than committing to one phase, since absorption velocity varies meaningfully by view-premium availability.
According to publicly tracked Discovery Land Company materials and Howard Hughes Corporation public investor disclosures, The Summit Club has averaged approximately 18–22 lot closings per year since 2020 — slower than production master plans but consistent with the absorption pace of comparable Discovery Land projects in Park City, Cabo, and Maui.
What Does Tiger Woods Membership Cost at The Summit Club?
The Tiger Woods–designed Summit Club golf course operates as a private club inside the gated perimeter, with membership tied to residency or invitation. The course is one of only a handful of TGR Design private layouts globally (the others sit in Cabo San Lucas, the Bahamas, and select projects in development). Membership inquiries route through the Discovery Land Company member-services team rather than a public-facing pricing schedule.
Based on widely reported industry data and comparable Discovery Land properties, Summit Club membership economics include:
- Initiation fee: approximately $300,000–$450,000 — the highest published initiation in the Las Vegas metro.
- Monthly dues: approximately $4,500–$6,500 monthly across full-equity tiers.
- Food and beverage minimums: approximately $850 monthly typical.
- Capital assessments: periodic capital contributions tied to clubhouse and amenity upgrades.
According to publicly tracked golf-industry comparables (Golf Digest course rankings), the Summit Club initiation sits roughly 5x above Red Rock Country Club ($60K range) and 4x above DragonRidge at MacDonald Highlands ($75K range). The premium reflects both the Tiger Woods pedigree and Discovery Land's member-experience model — concierge, private aviation tie-ins, and reciprocal global club access.
Membership is not transferable to a new owner at no cost. Resale buyers must apply independently and pay initiation. The club retains admission rights — a structural risk where a resale buyer could buy an estate but be denied membership.
How Does The Summit Club Compare to The Ridges and MacDonald Highlands?
These three sit at the apex of Las Vegas valley guard-gated luxury, but they pitch to meaningfully different buyer profiles. Here is how they break down side by side:
| Dimension | The Summit Club | The Ridges | MacDonald Highlands |
|---|---|---|---|
| Master developer | Howard Hughes / Discovery Land | Howard Hughes Corporation | Rich MacDonald |
| Total lots at buildout | ~270 | ~830 | ~850 |
| Signature golf | Tiger Woods (TGR Design) | Bear's Best (public access) | DragonRidge (private) |
| Median 2026 close | $14.5M | $3.95M | $3.85M |
| Build vintage | 2020–2026+ (active) | 2002–2026+ (active) | 2003–2026+ (active) |
| Average lot size | ~0.95 acre | ~0.42 acre | ~0.75 acre |
| Production builders? | No (custom only) | Mix (some production) | Mix (some production) |
| Membership initiation | $300K–$450K | None (HOA only) | $75K DragonRidge initiation |
| Best for | Ultra-private + Tiger Woods | Howard Hughes brand + Bear's Best | Strip views + custom acreage |
A few observations. The Summit Club trades at roughly 3.7x The Ridges and 3.8x MacDonald Highlands at the median — and the spread is even wider at the top end, where Summit Club's $25M+ tier has no real Ridges or MacDonald Highlands peer at comparable closed price. The Ridges wins on the broader Howard Hughes Summerlin brand and a higher lot count that supports more transaction velocity. MacDonald Highlands wins on Strip-view share and larger custom-acreage availability for buyers who want the trophy-lot scale without the Discovery Land club model. The Summit Club is the only one of the three with both Discovery Land member-experience overlay and Tiger Woods course pedigree — the structural differentiator that supports the price band.

What Schools Serve Summit Club Buyers?
The Summit Club falls under Clark County School District zoning with the same assignments as the broader far-west Summerlin catchment as of the 2026–2027 attendance calendar:
- Elementary: Patricia Bendorf Elementary or Linda Givens Elementary — both A-rated on the Nevada Department of Education school report cards.
- Middle: Sig Rogich Middle School — A-rated, magnet-program math and language.
- High: Palo Verde High School at 333 Pavilion Center Drive — A-rated, top-three Clark County public high school.
That said, Summit Club families overwhelmingly choose private K–12 options regardless of the public assignment. The Meadows School (private, K–12) sits 14 minutes east at Sahara and Buffalo and serves a meaningful share of Summit Club families. Faith Lutheran Middle and High School in central Summerlin serves another subset. A smaller group sends children to The Adelson Educational Campus or boarding programs out of state, typical of ultra-luxury household patterns.
According to the most recent GreatSchools ratings, Palo Verde HS scores 8/10 academically with strong AP and college-readiness marks. The CCSD public path is solid, but the household economics at the Summit Club's $14.5M median price band almost universally support the private-school decision.
What Are the HOA Fees and Summit Club Amenities?
The Summit Club operates a tiered fee structure that combines the master HOA, the Discovery Land–administered amenity program, and the Tiger Woods golf membership. Total monthly carrying cost runs meaningfully higher than any other Summerlin community.
The HOA-only assessment (separate from golf membership) runs approximately $1,250–$1,650 monthly depending on lot size and proximity to amenity infrastructure. The fee covers the master guard-gated entry, the 24/7 staffed perimeter security, all common-area landscape, the trail system across the master plan, and pass-through to the master HOA capital reserves. Layering Tiger Woods golf membership adds approximately $54,000–$78,000 in annual dues plus the $300K–$450K initiation amortized.
The amenity inventory inside the gated perimeter:
- Tiger Woods–designed 18-hole private course — approximately 7,400 yards from championship tees
- Member clubhouse — full dining, fitness, racquet sports, member lounges
- Spa and wellness center — separate facility with treatment rooms, lap pool, fitness
- Practice facility — driving range, short-game complex, putting green
- Trail network — approximately 6 miles of internal paved and natural trail
- Equestrian and outdoor recreation — limited program tied to Red Rock Canyon access
- Concierge and member-services team — Discovery Land's full member-experience overlay
According to the publicly tracked Howard Hughes Corporation Summit Club materials and comparable Discovery Land properties, annual all-in carrying cost for ownership inside The Summit Club — base HOA + golf dues + capital assessments — typically runs $80,000–$120,000 per year, plus the amortized initiation. This is the highest annual carrying cost of any community in Nevada and consistent with the top-decile ultra-private clubs nationally.
How Close Is The Summit Club to Red Rock Canyon and the Strip?
The Summit Club sits at approximately 3,400 feet elevation in far-west Summerlin. Drive times to the major Las Vegas valley destinations from the Summit Club main gate:
- Red Rock Canyon NCA visitor center: 4 minutes via West Charleston
- Downtown Summerlin (Macy's anchor): 11 minutes via Town Center Drive
- Las Vegas Strip (Bellagio anchor): 24 minutes off-peak via the 215 and Charleston
- Harry Reid International Airport: 27 minutes via the 215 and I-15
- Henderson Executive Airport: 32 minutes via the 215 (key for private aviation)
- Allegiant Stadium: 24 minutes via the 215 and Russell Road
- Mt. Charleston ski / lodge: 39 minutes via the 95 north
According to the Bureau of Land Management's Red Rock Canyon visitor data, the conservation area drew over 4 million visits in 2024. The Summit Club's western perimeter shares a roughly 1.2-mile boundary with the conservation area, giving residents effectively first-row access to Red Rock without the in-park traffic stack that builds at peak morning hours.
Local commercial and lifestyle anchors:
- Downtown Summerlin — Macy's, Dillard's, lifestyle center
- TPC Summerlin and TPC Las Vegas — public-facing PGA tournament courses 13 minutes away
- Red Rock Casino Resort Spa — 11 minutes via Charleston
- Suncoast Casino — 14 minutes
- The Meadows School and Faith Lutheran — private school options 14–16 minutes east
- Harry Reid International private terminal (Atlantic Aviation) — 28 minutes via I-15 (key for Summit Club private-aviation households)
What Should Buyers Know About Summit Club Resale Values?
Summit Club resale data is thin given the 2018 launch and long custom-build timelines (lot-to-completed-estate cycle typically 18–32 months). Through Q1 2026, approximately 28 resale transactions have closed across the master plan history.
According to GLVAR MLS data, the average Summit Club resale in 2024–2025 traded at price-per-square-foot levels approximately 12–18% above original purchase prices net of upgrade investment — reflecting brand and absorption momentum more than broad-market appreciation. According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency's House Price Index, the Las Vegas MSA appreciated 6.4% in 2025; Summit Club appreciation has materially outpaced the metro number.
Three buyer rules for resale exit math:
- Plan to hold 7–10 years to recover the initiation amortization and brand-momentum spread.
- Document every custom-build decision with receipts to support resale appraisal.
- Membership is not transferable — resale buyers must reapply and pay initiation independently.
How Does The Summit Club Compare to Ascaya and Wynn Estates?
Beyond The Ridges and MacDonald Highlands, Summit Club buyers occasionally cross-shop Ascaya (the Henderson hillside ultra-luxury development) and Wynn Estates (the Steve Wynn–developed enclave on Las Vegas Country Club Drive). Here is the snapshot:
| Dimension | The Summit Club | Ascaya | Wynn Estates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Far-west Summerlin | Henderson hillside (Black Mtn) | Central LV (LVCC adjacent) |
| Total estates at buildout | ~270 | ~315 | ~85 |
| Signature feature | Tiger Woods golf | Custom hillside lots | Wynn-developed brand |
| Median 2026 close | $14.5M | $6.85M | $8.2M (limited inventory) |
| Build vintage | 2020–active | 2015–active | 2015–active |
| Best for | Tiger Woods + Discovery Land | Hillside lots + Strip views | Strip proximity + brand |
The headline trade-off: The Summit Club's $14.5M median is more than 2x Ascaya's $6.85M and roughly 1.8x Wynn Estates' $8.2M. The price band reflects the Tiger Woods course differential (no Ascaya or Wynn Estates equivalent), the Discovery Land brand overlay, and the ultra-private club model. Ascaya wins on Strip-view share and hillside grade variety. Wynn Estates wins on Strip-corridor proximity and the Wynn brand association. Each pitches to a different ultra-luxury buyer.
Who Should Buy at The Summit Club in 2026?
After conversations with approximately 22 buyers at The Summit Club across 2024–2025 (a small sample reflecting thin transaction volume), the closing profile:
- Tiger Woods golf priority buyers — single most common driver. Want a TGR Design private course and Discovery Land global network access.
- Tech and finance ultra-luxury relocations — Bay Area, Hong Kong, Singapore relocations to Nevada's no-state-income-tax structure.
- Discovery Land brand loyalists — already hold membership at other Discovery Land properties (El Dorado, Hacienda, Mountain Top) and want continuity.
- Multi-property ultra-luxury portfolios — buyers building global property portfolios with The Summit Club as one of several residences.
- Trophy-estate custom builders — planning 12,000–18,000-sqft custom estates with bespoke architectural programs.
Where buyers do not end up: those committed to turn-key resale (community is overwhelmingly custom-build); those requiring a Strip-corridor address (24 minutes out); and those who cannot pass the membership invitation framework.
What Hidden Costs Should Summit Club Buyers Plan For?
Summit Club buyers underestimate three line items beyond lot price and the published HOA + membership:
- Custom-build cost overruns — typical builds run $750–$1,250/sqft all-in; trophy estates clear $1,500–$2,200/sqft. A 12,000-sqft custom budget of $14M can extend to $22M+ on bespoke programs. Plan a 25–35% contingency above the architect's initial bid.
- Architectural review cycles — the review board adds 6–9 months to the front of any custom build. Plan 24–32 months total from lot purchase to completed move-in.
- Annual carrying cost — $80K–$120K (HOA + golf dues + assessments) excludes tax, insurance, staffing, property management. Total ownership cost typically $200K–$450K annually for a $14M–$20M estate.
According to the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention, residential custom-build permit volume in the western valley exceeded 4,800 permits in 2024. Permit lead times run 6–12 weeks for initial submittal.
What Should Investors Know About Summit Club Rentals?
The Summit Club is structurally a poor fit for rental investing. CCRs restrict short-term rentals, carrying costs produce gross cap rates below 2%, and the buyer pool is universally end-user. A handful of owners operate 6–12 month corporate-relocation leases. Reported rates:
- 4BR/5BA estate (8,000 sqft): approximately $35,000–$48,000 monthly
- 5BR/6BA premium view (10,500 sqft): approximately $55,000–$78,000 monthly
- Trophy 6BR+ Red Rock-frame (14,000+ sqft): approximately $95,000–$135,000 monthly
Cap-rate math typically lands 1.6–2.2% gross before HOA and tax — well below conventional underwriting thresholds. Existing rentals are universally non-economic; owners rent to recoup carrying cost during non-resident periods, not to generate yield.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can anyone buy at The Summit Club?
Lot purchases are open to qualified buyers who satisfy Howard Hughes Corporation's standard residential acquisition framework. However, club membership is invitation-based and requires application approval by the Discovery Land Company member-services team. In practice, lot purchases and membership applications run concurrently, and buyers are not typically advised to acquire a lot without confirmed membership approval — the resale risk of a non-member-owned Summit Club lot is meaningful.
Is The Summit Club the most expensive community in Las Vegas?
By multiple measures yes. The 2026 median closing of approximately $14.5M is the highest residential median in Nevada. The maximum closed sale price (reportedly $34.5M in 2025) exceeds any closed transaction at The Ridges, MacDonald Highlands, or Wynn Estates. The price-per-square-foot median of approximately $1,950 is also the highest in the state. Only certain Las Vegas Strip residential towers (the Cosmopolitan penthouses, Aria Sky Suites) approach Summit Club per-square-foot pricing on a unit basis.
How does the Tiger Woods course rank nationally?
The TGR Design layout has been ranked among the top 25 new private courses in the US by Golf Digest and Golfweek since opening in late 2022. The course is one of only a handful of completed TGR Design private layouts globally; comparable Tiger Woods designs sit in the Bahamas, Cabo, and select international locations. The Summit Club layout is consistently rated for its routing through the Red Rock terrain and visual integration with the sandstone landscape.
Can I tour The Summit Club without an invitation?
Public tours are not available. Prospective buyers route through Howard Hughes Corporation's Summit Club sales office (by appointment only) or through specialized brokerage representation. Our team at Nevada Real Estate Group represents buyers at The Summit Club through pre-existing relationships with the Howard Hughes Corporation sales team and Discovery Land Company member-services. Initial introduction meetings are typically scheduled within 5–10 business days for qualified buyers, with full property and amenity tours following.
Do Summit Club estates support short-term rentals?
No — the master CCRs and Discovery Land Company membership framework prohibit short-term rental use. The community is structured around primary or secondary residential ownership. A handful of owners operate limited 12-month corporate or family-relocation leases, but the short-term rental model is not permitted and is actively enforced.
What's the typical construction timeline for a Summit Club custom build?
From signed lot purchase to completed move-in, expect 24–32 months. The phase breakdown: 6–9 months for architectural design and submittal to the architectural review board, 4–6 months for the board approval and revision cycles, 14–20 months for actual construction, and 1–2 months for finish completion, punch list, and certificate of occupancy. Buyers should plan accordingly when timing the lot purchase against family or relocation timelines.
What financing programs work for Summit Club buyers?
The buyer pool overwhelmingly closes with cash or with relationship-based private banking arrangements through JPMorgan Private Bank, Goldman Sachs Private Wealth, Bank of America Private Bank, or comparable. Conventional mortgage financing is structurally available (jumbo product), but ultra-luxury closings consistently favor cash or relationship credit. According to the Federal Reserve H.15 release, 30-year jumbo mortgage rates have ranged 6.5–7.2% across early 2026 — pricing that pushes most Summit Club buyers toward cash or relationship-banking alternatives.
