En bref: une short sale est lorsque les proprietaires sont au moins en retard de trois mois sur leurs paiements  et lorsque la maison sera vendu, ils ne seront pas, dans la plupart des cas, responsable entre la diffrence du prix de la vente et ce qu'ils doivent a la banque.

 Fort Myers Beach maison sur le Gulf Du Mexique

 

Le probleme avec les shorts sales est que cela  peut prendre plus de 2 mois a 4 mois avant de prendre possession d’une maison par ex et que la banque n'a pas necessairement approuve le prix de vente.Il faut beaucoup de patience.

   DSCF0425


Une "foreclosure" est lorsque la banque devient de nouveau le proprietaire d'une maison.C'est une saisie, une reprise hypothécaire. Les "foreclosures" sont beaucoup plus interessantes et la banque repond rapidement aux offres. C'est l'ideal. la Banque peut repondre, en general, entre 24 heures et une semaine a une offre.

    Cape Coral SW 2009-09-16 011

Les prix de foreclosures sont en general bien au-dessus de la valeur de cette proprietee. Normalement la banque demande 10% du prix de vente apres que l’offre est acceptee. le reste est du durant la cloture ou “l’echange de mains”. Preuves de fonds financieres  doivent etre fourni durant l’offre et les acheteurs ont normalement dix jours pour completer leurs inspections apres que l’offre est acceptee.

   DSCF0485

Un acheteur aux USA a le droit de retirer son offre si par exemple il n’est pas satisfer avec l’inpection, mais cela doit etre formellement fait avant que la periode des dix jours d’inspection se termine. Une “foreclosure” peut etre financer par une banque comme en France, Canada ou par ex an Belgique, Suisse.( Excusez mes fautes d’hortographes meme si j’ai passe mon BAC a Paris la grammaire n’a ete mon fort.Ne vous en faites pas ma grammaire s’ameliore!)

Upcoming Events 2009-2010: Fort Myers Beach FL

This Calendar was made possible by the Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce. Some of the events will interest visitors and residents alike, as the Saturday 5th 22nd Fort Myers Beach Annual Christmas Boat Parade which I have witnessed quite a few times and which is a fun even of lights, imagination and whimzical celebration. Some others maybe a big snooze as the Traffic community Meeting of Nov 19th, though highly important.

  FMB

For these who have never been to our Fort Myers Beach town meetings, I cannot promise high entertainement during these at times painful events, but they do offer invaluable information about our town and at times it may amuse or surprise you. One thing is sure:this year we do have a solid mayor and vice mayor and the amount of work done by our councilmen (one coucilwoman) is quite commendable when you consider the modest pay.

FMB towards the Pier

For you golfers I would recommend the Jan 16th 2010 Fort Myers Beach Golf Tournement, which course was completely updated with great success in the last couple of years. Its a short course, affordable and a great way to work on your 3 or 4 woods,short irons and of course short game. Lots of fun and it does not take 4 hours to complete. Great way to meet people and mix it up with the locals.

FMB fall pre sunset

I have never been to the annual decorating event but I think my wife would enjoy it and I might learn a few tips on how to match my clothes. I am guessing there would be quite a lot of local flavor. Great way to talk with our residents.

    Southwest Florida is well known for its miles of white sand. It is part of our life style, our culture and many come to the beaches of Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel,Captiva, Bonita Springs and Naples for many different reason.

Being a resident of Fort Myers Beach, you would except that I would pick its beach as one of my favorites. You are right. Not only it is one of the safest beaches in Florida but they allow dogs. The beach is seven miles long.

                  North End FMB  

FMB North End

   Perhaps the attractions is that one may be at a restaurant, a bar, Parasail or ski jet or play volley ball at Fort Myers Beach and enjoy the scenery and take a dip. There is a lot to do. You can go to the North End or Lovers Key Beach if you want more relaxing calming surroundings.

                              FMB delmar access

         FMB Mango access

Sections  towards the northern part of the  island were  renourished in the summer of 2009 and indeed it looks good. The pier located just towards downtown Fort Myers Beach is  also a great fishing spot and you may enjoy the view from a few restaurants smack on the gulf side.

     Another favorite is a bit out of the way at Sanibel Bowman’s Beach. Sanibel is well known for its green philosophy and if you want to enjoy nature at its most bare and untouched then this beach is for you.   (blog)

     

                    FMB    FMB 09

    Bonita Beach Park is also a winner.Except for the dog restriction it is also a favorite. Very well kept and recently renovated it goes for miles and miles both on both side and towards Little Hickory Island on the North.

                                DSCN2941

 

One cannot forget Naples Lowdermilk Beach and Naples beaches in general. It was nourished in the late 90’s. From Gordon Pass on the south to Seagate Drive on the North you will enjoy 10 miles of high quality beaches. I always preferred the area towards the south and Gordon pass for its tranquility. No dogs allowed.   You may bike or walk from downtown Naples or Old Naples to the shore.

 The quality of the sand dropped  when it was renourished and widen but luckily after a few years it is back to its beautiful state and fine sugary white sand. A top beach.

The   pier is a favorite meeting and fishing place. Naples plans some more renourishment in the near future.

The orginal tiki huts started some 1450 BC with the Calusa Indians who at the time controlled most of south west Florida. Their influence in tiki building was brought to our Seminole Indians or “run-away-Indians” who transformed the tiki hut. They name this shelter “chickee” which means home in Seminole.

 

       Tiki in Fort Myers Beach  Tiki on da Beach

                                       Westernized tiki in Fort Myers Beach

Though these island tikis are highly influenced by the Seminole Indians technique, there are some major differences to the fastening of the timber together to the palms. More modern tikis use different forms of nails and treated woods including waterproofing sealants over the roof.  

      The Florida Seminole Indians, who were pressed and hounded by American soldiers and push deep into of the Everglades, were master at relocating and moving quickly and that is the reason why these “Seminole chickees” though conformable, were built in such a way that they could be put together or taken apart rapidly. They were meant to be temporary.

       Our Florida Indians,by the way, never lost the war against the US soldiers. These master run-a-ways managed to save their culture and people by hiding in the very wild and inhospitable depth of the Everglades. The largest Seminole Communities are still found in the Everglades and manage their own settlements and businesses with independent pride and a fair amount of success. They do not follow the rest of Southwest Florida building codes, unless they want to.

        Tiki in Fort Myers Beach FL  Fort Myers Beach FL tiki hut

   When I look at these Fort Myers Beach tiki huts I think of the long  history behind these dwellings. Basic chickees use a thatch of palmettos supported by logs of cypress wood.Only Seminole Indians are allowed and authorized to removed cypress logs from our Floridian marches for building purposes.

The Seminole Indians by the way consisted of a few different related tribes who migrated before the 1750’s to Northern Florida  and were pushed deeper in the south by the US soldiers in the 1800’s.

             Seminole chickees  Seminole chickee2

                                            Seminole Chickee Southwest Florida

Original chickees had a platform above the ground to protect against  insects, animals, and provide more cooling. These days true chickees are built only by Seminole Indians and if hired they do not need to get a construction permit, they do need to follow zoning regulations.

     Many homes in Fort Myers Beach and southwest Florida  have adopted both of these dwellings on their properties, specially as a sun shelter, or as covered patios and are even seen on docks. They stay very popular.

   Another time I will mention another great invention: the tiki bar!
