Specially Cape Coral & Lehigh Acres. Buyers/investors where buying lots, building homes, buying waterfront homes and reselling them, So the story goes. Well when the real estate market stopped in summer of 2004 buyers and investors where calling builders and refusing to close on new construction homes, resale home purchases, waterfront homes including lots. Now lots of Home owners unable to afford these homes with interest rates increasing since 2004 , now have lots these properties in the foreclosure & Short Sale Process.
