Fort Myers Beach gardens always surprises me. A few years back I planted a citrus tree with my wife Karen. A lemon tree. The first year we got maybe six or so quite large lemons. Now on its third year these fruits are getting ridiculously large. Larger then an orange, as big as a medium grapefruit. 

I wonder how big they will get next season? Nature never ceases to amaze me.

    lemon FMB

    grapefruit size lemon The real lemon is twice as large as this picture. And these citrus trees do not need much. Fort Myers Beach dirt is a sandy loam type of course. They taste good to. This fruit could garnish many gin or vodka tonics!

 

 

    and welcome to Fort Myers Beach!

   Southwest Florida Real Estate has been through a lot in the last five years.We have seen the highs of 2004-2005 with appreciation jumping a mindboggling 47% during these two years to the lows when the bubble burst in 2007. During the following years I have seen hard working Americans loosing their homes, either because they were misinformed, lied to or plainly not qualified. Others got in as fast as they got out and laughed all the way to the bank. Since then the market has been turned upside down in Southwest Florida. The deals are here for sure in Cape Coral and Fort Myers & Fort Myers Beach. Even in Sanibel, Bonita Springs and Naples. The equity in most homes in Lee County and Collier County are gone but on the bright side I am happy that homes are affordable again for many Americans in Southwest Florida.

                Estero Bay

 I am glad that an American family has a decent chance to own a home in Southwest Florida. Yes, our homes were greatly overpriced. It was becoming ridiculous. 

Today a buyer can purchase a decent home for under $100,000 ( gulf access home for under $230,000 in Cape Coral for ex.) in Southwest Florida and live in paradise without the nasty mortgage.

               FMB 

  They will again see some equity in their home but I rather see a steady rise in home value year after year then a monster appreciation jump like in 2004-2005.It is a great time to buy and it is also our responsibility as Florida Real Estate Agents to make the difference between a healthy return from outlandish greed. Did we learn something from these years ? It was heating up to fast. Lets not go crazy again. There is nothing wrong about wanting to become rich but Florida should be affordable for everyone. Cape Coral Real Estate or Fort Myers & The Beach Real Estate among other areas make sense for buyers.

and Happy Hunting!

My area of Lee County, covers cities among others such as Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Pine Island 

and we know foreclosures and short sales. After all we are one of the counties with the highest percentage of Bank owned properties.

    Tropical Shores Bay

In the last year, as the average price of a home in Cape Coral and Fort Myers was pulled down by the flooding of short sales and foreclosures, we have seen of course, terrific deals for buyers, including auctions. Many Real Estate Agents including myself have been able to offer great opportunities to their clients but don’t be misled. The deals are still here, but the difference between conventional traditional sales and bank owned properties or short sales is not always what is seems.

    Dundee st Fort Myers Beach 09 2008-06-04 026

First of all most great foreclosures sale way beyond the asking price so make sure that your agent makes a detailed CMA

and shows you in clack and white why this home is such a great purchase.

Lee County Short sales and Lee County foreclosures are sold “AS IS”. There is no negotiating for repairs unless you are doing an FHA loan. The FHA will impose certain standards which have to be fixed if not in proper condition. Even though some banks are slowly improving the condition of their properties, many do not have such basic items as washers and dryers, AC in good condition and pool condition including the pool equipment may be in  need of repair or replacement. A good portion of short sales have been sitting during the wet months of summers without AC, which would attract mold. There are times when Short Sales lender will negotiate $500 to $1000 for repairs but that is pretty rare.

Last, a conventional sale maybe $25,000 less,the asking price anyway, but that home was better maintained and who knows how much the sellers are willing to negotiate? Depends how much they paid for it, how much is their mortgage and when they bought it.

So when you add all these factors, not to mention better landscaping, the $25,000 for example, are quickly disappearing.

So yes, short sales and foreclosures can be great deals, and there are many true interesting opportunities, but look also at conventional sales and work closely with your agent.  

and Happy Hunting!

With the afternoon temperatures reaching that perfect 80 something range, these make for perfect beach days.  So, take a day off and pack up the family and enjoy.  For those of you whose family includes a dog:

Sanibel beaches if leashed. Since Fort Myers Beach became a town, it has declared that pets may be on the beach as long as they are under leash control. Keep them away from county-controlled park and beach areas. Pets are allowed in the park area of Lover's Key, but not in the water or on the beach.  The only beach that allows dogs off leash is Bonita Beach Dog Park, located between Bonita Springs and Fort Myers beach.

 General List of Lee County Beaches:

Lighthouse Park Beach (Sanibel)

Algiers Beach (Sanibel)

Tarpon Bay Road Beach (Sanibel)

Bowman's Beach (Sanibel)

Turner Beach (Captiva)

Sanibel Causeway Beaches

Bunche Beach (Fort Myers Beach)

Bowditch Point (Fort Myers Beach)
