cape coral: Cape Coral Lease Option
- 10/15/06 09:52 AM
If you have been waiting on the sidelines to see what the local Cape Coral real estate market may do & you are not in a position to start making offers to buy, a lease option may fit your needs well. If you are not familiar with a lease option, it is fairly easy to understand. I'm going to take you into the lease option now. First of all, there is a considerable down payment required. Many sellers are requesting 3-5% down (of the purchase price) but we have seen many negotiate lower amounts. This deposit will go towards the purchase … (2 comments)
cape coral: Density
- 10/15/06 03:53 AM
Cape Coral, Florida still has alot of vacant land left to develop. Most of the lots are subdivided into 1/4 acre parcels though. So when we are fully developed, we will have a very dense city. Build out is now estimated for the year 2020. What is the average sized home lot where you live? Personally, where I built my current house I was one of the first homes on the block so it felt like I had more land than of course I do. Now, 3 years later, there are many homes on my block & I'm beginning to feel crowded. … (3 comments)
cape coral: Vacant Land in Cape Coral
- 10/11/06 03:20 AM
Wondering how much vacant land in Cape Coral is going for? Off water lots are down to just under $50,000 in some areas. Last year most of our lots were starting just under $90,000! Yes, that hurts if you purchased on the high end last year & wanted to sell this year but if you are holding on for longer term it will be fine. You see, Cape Coral is growing. We have somewhere around 10,000 people moving here each year. I first moved here in 1994 & watched the city grow so much just in that timeframe. We still have … (0 comments)
cape coral: The Fall Season
- 10/03/06 01:12 PM
While the fall season is different in other parts of the country, I'd like to share with you what I like about Cape Coral this time of year. The cooler, dry air makes me happy. It's refreshing. Yes, I miss watching the leaves change colors (I grew up in Indiana), it's also nice to see everything GREEN year round. --- ok this photo was taken in Mexico but it was in the Fall - it counts right? More people are here. Yes, this means that traffic is worse & commute time is longer but it also means that there are more players … (1 comments)
cape coral: Free Steak Dinner
- 09/25/06 02:36 PM
You too can fly to Florida for a free steak dinner & be whisked away to look at swamp land...err I mean vacant property. For $50 down & $50 a month you too can own your own piece of the sunshine state. Yes, that's REALLY how it all got started here. It's amazing isn't it? You can check the tax rolls in Cape Coral & see that the original buyers were from all over the country and the world. They mostly purchased one or two parcels each. Most are classified as 'disqualifed mail order sales'. Now, our town has over 150,000 residents … (2 comments)
cape coral: Oh yeah & this is MY Backyard
- 09/23/06 12:46 PM
So many of you said how beautiful Pine Island is. I can't agree with you more but my house has Western exposure so I get the great sunsets from my backyard. Can't complain right? Well here is a photo I took a while back from my backyard, yes the bay is only about 2-3 miles due West. Cape Coral, Florida Sunset

cape coral: A Great House Behind a BUSY Road
- 09/16/06 07:36 AM
I have had this house listed for a few months now - in SE Cape Coral - with its central water & sewer hooked up & paid for as well (this is a big PLUS in Cape Coral). When we first listed we were a little high but that's just when the market had began to slow down so we didn't know if it would keep heading down or come back up. It has at least 2-3 showings a week & the only feedback I receive is that its too close to a main road - Del Prado Blvd. Well, we can't … (2 comments)
cape coral: Vacant Land for Sale - using aerial photos to advertise
- 09/15/06 05:16 AM
I have a question. Anyone who sells a lot of vacant land - do you use aerial photos in your listings? If you do, do you ever add to them? I typically use aerial photos on my vacant land listings but just recently started adding additions like the one to the left. Basically, the land is located very near Charlotte Harbor & the preserves & instead of just telling prospective buyers about this I decided to show this. A picture is 'worth a thousand words' right? I have used aerial photos to add 'approximate dimensions' & that has worked nicely too. By the way, … (12 comments)
cape coral: Commercial Growth Continues in Cape Coral
- 09/10/06 02:17 AM
While we are still seeing a decline in most residential markets here locally we are seeing more and more commercial developments. Cape Coral has been behind in commercial growth for years. Slowly, we now have about 8% commercial. A recent article in the news-press examines this. Many of my clients & prospective clients have been worried about the current market conditions. They call & e-mail me to see what I think they should do in this current market. One aspect that always seems to come up is the commercial growth. With over 150K residents in Cape Coral & with so much … (7 comments)
cape coral: First Time Homebuyers
- 09/06/06 05:08 AM
My opinion is that now is the best time to be a first time homebuyer in our area. The prices of homes have actually been declining making them once again affordable. In SW Florida we experienced price appreciation of 20-30-40-50%+ a year depending on type of property & location over the past 2-3 years. We knew this couldn't go on forever but it was fun while it lasted. Now the market is adjusting back to normal. First time homebuyers are able to take their time to research, plan & make a decision on the best options available. Last year, they had … (1 comments)
cape coral: What kind of Investor Are You?
- 09/06/06 04:31 AM
What kind of an investor do you want to be? I am currently reading The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller. As an investor myself I am constantly looking at ways to increase my investment portfolio & learning about what other real estate investors are investing in & how is a great way to enhance your current situation as well. Why re-invent the wheel as they say? Exactly. And maybe youve been successfully investing & your way works but maybe there is an easier or more lucrative approach out there? Im sure if you are reading this that you are the … (5 comments)
