bank owned homes: Newly Listed REOs in Cape Coral and Lehigh Acres - $135,000 never lived in - 07/18/08 02:20 PM
My agency just listed a bunch of REOs (bank-owned properties) in Lehigh Acres and Cape Coral, Florida.  This is just a sampling of one model, the Buckingham. Prices vary somewhat, but most are at $135,000.  Most homes are NEW, never lived-in.  I will not give an address because we have eight of them all alike.....call me for addresses of whatever is left.  These homes were given back to the bank by Deed-In-Lieu of Foreclosure (DIL), so there is none of the "Short Sale Stall" or "The Asset Manager is on Vacation" stuff.  Once the bank owns the property, they suddenly take an interest … (0 comments)

bank owned homes: 3317 23rd Street SW, Lehigh Acres, Florida REO - 05/19/08 11:59 AM
We have just listed a REO (bank-owned post-foreclosure).  Ready to sell, no delays. 
NEW, NEVER-LIVED-IN !!!  On a nice East-West Street that connects to the major exits of I-75.
$117,200 for 1400 sq ft of living area and 1969 sq ft total area.

No way you can build a 1956 sq ft home from scratch in Lee County.  The lot, impact fees, permits and site preparation would blow the project out of the water, even in this present diminished market.  Yes, labor is now a little cheaper, but materials are not much different from 2005/2006.  Impact fees are impact fees, and not … (1 comments)

bank owned homes: Cape Coral Florida Golf Course Homes - 05/03/08 06:02 AM
As we begin the long recovery in real estate sales and prices, many real estate investors are coming back to test the waters.  The primary motivation seems to be that they can buy inexpensive homes now, rent them at a small negative cash flow for three years and then turn the investment over for a nice total return.
Where I have questioned this practice is whether buying the low-end homes will give the best total return.  It seems to me that buying mid-range homes on a golf course or on waterfront lots would seem to give more acceleration on price looking down … (3 comments)

bank owned homes: Lee County Florida Real Estate today - 05/02/08 02:35 AM
The Lee County Real Estate Market is improving for some folks and getting worse for others.
According to an article in the Business & Money section of the News-Press this morning, "Foreclosures hit new high".  Foreclosure "actions" filed in Lee County in April spiked up sharply to a new high of 2160.  By "actions filed", one would assume "Lis Pendens", meaning that the mortgage holder has initiated the first legal step of filing notice to the homeowner and the rest of the world that they are beginning the process of taking the home.  for each of the homeowners, there is still a long … (1 comments)

bank owned homes: Glut of Homes Shrinking in SW Florida - 04/30/08 03:10 AM
GOOD NEWS!
The headline in today's business section jumps out to say that the Glut of (vacant) Homes in Lee and Collier Counties (Florida) is SHRINKING.  Now I just wish that the headline was on page one of the main section, like all of the negative reporting has been, but I'll take what we can get!
Yesterday I was working up a listing price for a luxury home in central Cape Coral.  We had tried unsuccessfully to sell the home a year or so ago and had very little interest from anybody, regardless of price.  The owner rented it out at a negative … (0 comments)

bank owned homes: Clients with Short Sale or Foreclosure Real Estate - 04/20/08 06:50 AM
As a Realtor, I am often asked to "advise" a potential client on Short Sale or Foreclosure situations.  since I am not an Attorney, I demure from giving advice, but I will refer people to attornies who are specialists in their field.  I repeat, SPECIALISTS, because I find that even attornies do not necessarily have all of the information necessary to properly counsel people in this situation.
Some things that I have noticed in other BLOGS...1.  One Realtor warned of DIRE CONSEQUENCES to Short Sale or Foreclosure situations, predicting that any action resulting in loss to the bank would probably result in … (2 comments)

bank owned homes: Cape coral Real Estate Market -Conflicting Messages - 04/19/08 12:27 AM
Reading the local papaer this morning, I saw two conflicting messages:
First of all, a liquidation sale in a gated community resulted in a total sellout of 116 homes in just two weeks.  Seventy percent were sold to homesteaders.  So much for the idea that there are no buyers out there.  This, after the recent Countrywide auction that attracted hordes of qualified buyers, even though Countrywide seems to be a little challenged when it comes to conducting an auction.  Then there is the mesage that actual closed sales has hit a peak recently not seen for about 18 months.  Every title company … (0 comments)

bank owned homes: Reinvention is chicken soup for the soul !!! - 04/17/08 11:23 AM
To the lady in Poughkipsee who reinvented herself from the airline industry into real estate.  Hoorah for you!  That's a great story. 
 As a "reinvented" veteran of the travel industry, I can relate to your story.  Over twenty previous years in the hi-tech industry (with five different companies), my biggest customer was always Big Blue and Poughkipsee was my monthly.  Stayed many nights at The Inn at the Falls after I figured out that the two motels out on the highway were invented to torture people before their visit with the gods.
so I morphed into the travel industry and it was fun for … (1 comments)

bank owned homes: Cape Coral Real Estate - over-priced? - 04/16/08 03:03 PM
I was setting up an itinerary for homes this evening.  Buyers are a nice young couple from the East Coast, anxious to make a go of it in Cape coral.  They have a definite price point in mind, so we are searching for the best value we can find at that price.  Not unusual for persons moving into the area, but different from bottom-feeding methods when you just want the rock-bottom price for a given square footage.  Buyers also stated that they do not want to play the short sale game.
What I found in my search is that prices ranged from … (2 comments)

bank owned homes: My Broker Got onboard with Lee County Florida REOs ! - 04/15/08 11:22 AM
What a happy day!  My Broker made our first deal with REOs and we came up with an even dozen listings in the first shot.  We can advertise these listings as individuals and of course we can sell them.
This is an important step....I can see now that very few individuals are going to win a lot of REOs in the Cape Coral Real Estate Market as we go forward.  Having noticed the same names showing up on (most of) the listings for the last year, I have done a little informal survey to find out how they are doing it.  Come … (4 comments)
