cape coral homes for sale: Summer heat in the real estate market - 07/20/09 06:30 AM
It was 94 today and my pool was 92. Hard to cool off even getting wet. The real estate market in Lee County is experiencing the same heat. Sales are registering a blistering pace with 1742 pending resale homes in Lee County.
Inventory fell to 10,300 single family resale homes. That's one percent less than last month. Pending sales were almost 2% meaning there is new inventory still out pacing sales.
Of the sales, over 61% were under $100,000. With out these, sales would be 1072 less. This is the market that is on fire and where buyers are seeing values … (0 comments)

cape coral homes for sale: Residential Market Watch: Chance to buy newer home at low cost fading - 09/02/08 10:16 AM
By Michael Polly
Tropical Storm Fay has come and gone, but the rain it dumped on Lee County lingers. The ground is saturated and some streets are flooded. As much as we needed the rain, we are anxious for the way things used to be, like being able to walk to our mailbox without wearing our slickers.
Likewise, we witnessed our real estate market raining inventory for the past couple of years. It rained so hard and long that you could forget about walking to the mailbox, because the only way to get to it required something with Evinrude on the … (0 comments)

cape coral homes for sale: Has help really arrived for 1st time homebuyers? - 08/01/08 03:51 PM
This past Wednesday, July 30, President Bush signed the recently-passed housing legislation (H.R. 3221) into law.
The new first-time homebuyer tax credit went into effect immediately upon the President's signature. What is all means to for everyone is still being questioned. Many hope the credit will convert "Just looking, thanks" home browsers into purchasers. This is remains to be seen. The downpayment assistance now offered as 3% of the purchase price by FHA is set to go away October 1st. This should give many who are thinking about taking advantage of today's once in a life time buyers market prices something to get them out writing offers … (0 comments)

cape coral homes for sale: Selling in this market doesn't happen without pain - 05/09/08 10:17 AM
Sellers can minimize discomfort by selling sooner
"Denny, you have had our home listed for two months and it's still not sold. Don't you think we need to come up with some creative marketing ideas?" These were the words from one of my sellers this week.
Being a curious cuss, I asked them what they meant by "creative." They quickly shot me a couple of ideas like providing owner financing or being willing to lease-purchase the home. They even offered to vacate themselves, their kids and pets from the home, leaving their furniture and accessories behind. My puzzled look quickly prompted … (0 comments)

cape coral homes for sale: Residential Market Improves - In Spite of What You May Read - 04/29/08 06:58 AM
I head up our research department and let me tell you I was glad Denny wrote this article. It is hard explaining the differences buyers and sellers when they read so much different information. It is our job to try and keep our clients ahead of the market and the investment we make in our data research plays a big part in this.

My voice mail message light was blinking when I arrived at my office one Monday morning four weeks ago. Believing optimism trumps pessimism, I envisioned the message would lead to new business; it would be a great beginning … (2 comments)

cape coral homes for sale: Tops and Bottoms - 04/02/08 08:50 PM
The news today that foreclosures may have peaked spawned the headlines "Lee's housing market bottoms out."
Working in the industry and studying the market intently I often sit back and wonder what this means. Correctly put I believe that it should say Lee's housing market may have hit the TOP of the foreclosures. (Maybe)
We are really looking for different signs that point to recovery. At the end of the article there is a mention that baby boomers may in a couple of years come back into our market and revitialize it. I would argue that they already are!
The reason they … (0 comments)

Where are the buyers?
That question has been asked a lot over the last 2 years. Well, the answer is in and the buyers really did not go anywhere.

Priced at levels that rolled back pricing to 3-4 years ago. The response has been overwhelming!
Buyers flocked to scoop up these tremendous deals. There were 116 homes and townhomes to be sold. The townhomes starting at $86,000 were the first to sell out. As … (3 comments)

cape coral homes for sale: Maybe it's called Amendment 1 because it's just the beginning - 01/29/08 07:58 PM
Proposal falls short, but is it a good start?
Floridians will have the opportunity Tuesday to give themselves a tax break. Amendment 1 increases the amount of the homestead exemption and initiates portability. A few other goodies were thrown into the proposal as well that will cause us to pay less in taxes. On the surface, it seems like a no-brainer, but anytime government is giving, versus taking, a "Proceed With Caution" sign should pop up in our brain.
I have scanned the editorial pages and the Mailbag of the local paper, as well as the online forums, so I have a … (0 comments)

cape coral homes for sale: Differing opinions create confusion - Lee County Home Condo Sales - 10/22/07 08:45 PM
Third-quarter data indicates market direction
What word best describes your feelings about our residential market? Would it be depressed, confused, excited, frustrated, optimistic or pessimistic? You may have experienced most, if not all, of these feelings depending on who you listen to or what your favorite media source is dishing out on that particular day. You may even experience opinion swings of 180 degrees, all in the same day.Can this be possible? Yes. It can happen because we are constantly bombarded with contradictory information and differing opinions, some of which are mutually exclusive. For example, in the past several weeks, one expert … (0 comments)
