cape coral: Ida stirring things up in the Gulf....
- 11/09/09 09:57 PM
Old lady Ida is sure stirring things up in the Gulf of Mexico. Check out these waves at the beach in Sanibel, FL. Looks like SW Florida might have a few more days of cloudy skies and sprinkles...
Poor Mr. Jellyfish didn't make it through the bashing of the surf. He's a big one!

cape coral: Change of seasons in Cape Coral Florida......
- 11/06/09 10:36 PM
I can't understand why people say we don't have the change of seasons down here in SW Florida. Of course we do! We can tell what season it is by our faucets. If there is lukewarm water coming out of the spigot then it's summer, cold water means it must be winter. I guess it must be winter now...

- 11/03/09 11:21 PM
The Veterans Mid-Point Memorial Park located at Four Mile Cove Eco Park is another fabulous tribute to the men and women who have serviced to keep our country free.
My heart still sputters when I hear the national anthem....and a tear always forms for the men and women who have sacrificed.

cape coral: Need a life?.....
- 10/29/09 10:03 PM
Need a life?...
Over a year ago my sister sent me an email invitation to be her ‘friend' on Facebook. When I got the invitation I thought, "Facebook is for kids" and deleted it. A month later I got another invitation from someone else. Delete! After all what could a social media site do for me?
Finally after some sisterly arm-bending I surrendered. Signing up was an easy process...filled in some info....picked a few settings and I was on my way. Let me tell you it's been a fun party ever since. Where else can you go at 2:00 a.m. … (13 comments)

Guess who's coming to dinner....
This little {{BIG}} fellow showed up on my driveway just minutes before my guests started to arrive for a party.
Poor guy......no party for him......too ugly to get a date so he continued to stroll down the street before heading back into the water.
Cape Coral is full of wonderful sights of nature. Every day is an adventure.

cape coral: Cape Coral FL - NW area....
- 10/20/09 09:51 PM
The area north of Pine Island Road and West of Burnt Store Road is a wonderful Gulf Access community of waterfront and off-water single family homes, condominiums, and gated communities.
It's vicinity to Pine Island and Matlacha Pass make it a true nature lovers dream; yet offers all the amenities of shopping, restaurants, art galleries, and every comfort of living in Paradise.
With Punta Gorda just north, the NW area provides access to Route 75 running north to the Georgia border and south to Miami.
If you are looking for a place to call home, this is it.

Call 911...there is a cloud in my backyard...oh wait...never mind...it's gone now...
You can have some of this AWESOME weather too but you better hurry. Paradise is selling fast!
There are currently:
2113 single family homes for sale in Cape Coral, FL
(November 2008 this figure was over 4200)
1599 homes have sold in the past three months
That leaves us with an absorption rate of: 3.9 months
What does that mean?
Let's say that not another house went on the market. How long would it take to sell the existing inventory? Only 3.9 months....

cape coral: There is nothing worse...{{GULP}}
- 10/12/09 12:37 AM
There is nothing worse than having to call a customer and say, "You know that house you were interested in? The one you were considering putting an offer on....? The one you loved....? Well it just went under agreement with someone else." {{GULP}}
In changing markets Realtors have to reveal, explain, and educate their clients. Not so easy. How do we say, "You better hurry on this one" when for the last several years it's been a buyers market?
Southwest Florida is seeing some changes. Let me explain:
Are prices still ridiculously low? Yes.
Are investors back? Yes, but it's the … (16 comments)

cape coral: Lee County Florida Lis Pendens--early signs of Foreclosures.....
- 09/03/09 02:03 AM
Lee County Lis Pendens filed.........
First, what is a lis pendens? A lis pendens is a written notice that a lawsuit has been filed with the courts concerning real estate. You could kind of call it...one of the first indicators of a possible foreclosure.
Everyone's talking about foreclosures. Are they slowing down? Will there be a new wave?
It is important to keep in mind that not every lis pendens filing will turn into a foreclosure but I've been watching the overall numbers for a while now...waiting for a sign. Regardless of what we are feeling, we are in a little … (1 comments)

Yep, it's official. The next 10 day weather outlook has the high of the day between 84-89 degrees. No more 90's. The seasons are changing and so is the Cape Coral real estate market.

cape coral: Short Sale Experience......
- 09/01/09 05:30 AM
Years ago during my banking career and during one of the last banking/real estate busts, I remember looking at the foreclosure files piled high on my desk. Those days there were many sleepless nights and getting up at 3am to head into my office just to get some work done. It was a frustrating time because most of the files sitting on my desk were incomplete. It seems that I had to fight to get every file completed. Beg for this document or that document. But there was one special file I remember well. It was a long day in which … (1 comments)

cape coral: What's Happening in Cape Coral......
- 01/10/09 07:53 PM
Cape Coral, FL
FAST MOVING MARKET...........Low Prices! Transactions way up!!!
We are in a huge foreclosure market...over 2,000 pre-foreclosure filings per month.
Prices are low....3 bedroom/2 bath/2 car garage homes built after 2000 for 65K-you don't need to be a brain surgeon to figure out it's a deal. And buyers know it. I had three different buyers out before 12:30 yesterday.
50% of our listings (3900+) are short sales. The good news is that banks are now working with us to get them closed. More than twice as many homes sold in Cape Coral in 2008 than 2007.
Are we a long … (1 comments)

cape coral: Cape Coral, FL Absorption Rate........
- 11/01/08 02:27 AM
Cape Coral, FL Absorption Rate....
First, what is an absorption rate?
It is the amount of real estate that will be sold in a certain amount of time.Let's say that not another house went on the market. How long would it take to sell the existing inventory?
In the past month there were 480 single family homes that sold in Cape Coral....with a little over 4200 homes currently on the market; this means that there is a 8.8 months absorption rate (it would take 8.8 months to sell everything on the market). Not bad compared to where we were at a … (2 comments)
