Is Now Best Time to Invest on Ft. Myers Beach and Are There Short Sales?

By
Real Estate Agent with Premier Florida Realty of SWFL

Now is a good time to purchase a home or invest in a property on Fort Myers Beach, but it is the best now?  No. The best time would have been way back when, in the 1970's or even the 1990's. 

I have clients calling me inquiring into short sales on the Island.  Are there any short sales on Fort Myers Beach.  There are, not a significant amount percentage wise, but a few.  19, to be exact.  The lowest is listed at $229,00.  In fact, there are two condos listed at $229,000, both short sales.  On of these has almost 1000 square feet, located at the Marina Towers & Yacht Club, but it is a 1/1.  The other contains only a little above 600 square feet.   There is an interesting condo listed for $459,000, short sale, with Gulf of Mexico frontage and a wrap around balcony to enjoy.  The Condo is called Batiki West and it's a gulf front corner.  Marble flooring throughout.  Granite counters.

Of the 19 Short Sales on Fort Myers Beach, Lee County,, 8 are single family homes.  There's a cottage on $229,769, a little over 1200 square feet.  There's a house with a pool on Dakota Avenue, but this is a contingent short sale (meaning there's at least one offer already being considere by the lender), so if anyone is interested, let me know ASAP.  The most interesting single family short sale is a home on Fairview Blvd., listed for $607,500.  On Canal with private dock. 2324 square feet, a 3/3 and build in 1990, which is New for the Island.  An oversized lot.

Why are so many families and investors interested in Fort Myers Beach?  I think that it may be the view.

The number of short sales on ft. Myers Beach is pretty low compared to the rest of the county. LLoyd...you need to have your people contact Obama's people and slip in to get that sale.
