 You have seen the tall figure of the celebrated land surveyor, turned Virginian land owner, turned supreme General of all armies of Patriots storming into Yorktown against the defeated loyalist General  Cornwallis of England, the man who kicked the English to where they came from with the flamboyant help from general Rochambeau and his fleet of 28 war ships.His name stands alone in American history: George Washington The man who was present during the Declaration of Independence  on the 4 th of  July   1776   (  was a lousy year for him as he got kicked out of NJ and was defeated then ), the man who gathered  the leading men from   Virginia to Pennsylvania, went through the horrors of the winter wars  of  1780,1781,  give   14  years of  his  life  as a soldier and visionary and leader...

I recently attended a meeting to learn about the I-75 expansion project along with the proposed tolls for I-75.  The first thing that all residents of Collier and Lee County should do is go to the Southwest Florida Expressway Authority (SWFEA) web site and register your opinion (click here). The SWFEA is actively soliciting input.In 2003 the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) approved a plan to widen I-75 to ten lanes in portions of Lee and Collier Counties. The current plans and budget call for one additional lane to be added in each direction. Construction is to begin later this year and be completed in 2010. The FDOT budgeted $470m for the six lane project from Golden Gate Parkway north to SR 80. This was to include interchange improvements at Daniels Parkway and Immokolee. ...

Building Permits DropSigns of Slowdown continue...By: Michael ThompsonSWFLREIA.com & New Century FL Realty Remember the Good ‘ole Days?  Not long ago you could contract with any builder in just about any area in S.W. Florida, but more specifically in Lee County, FL., wait several months while making no-payments during construction and sell the house upon the C/O (Certificate of Occupancy) being issued and make $50,000 or more.  Times are a changin'.                In April 2007, the new construction building permits issued in unincorporated Lee County were at 264 permits.  Unincorporated Lee County includes Lehigh Acres, the Town of Ft. Myers Beach and Bonita Springs.  The same month a year earlier, in April 2006, there were 865 permits issued, that's a serious drop.  As the market has ...

Could Lee County and it’s Cities wisely figure out ways to cooperate and cut expenses? The state debate over tax reform has already had a few good effects. 1. Governor Crist set the tone by showing the Counties how to be fiscally conservative during his record breaking veto of items on the budget he found excessive or not emergency items. 2. Leaders from other parts of the state are starting to acknowledge the efficiency of consolidating some County and City Services in an effort to save money. Why not combine services and tighten the belt on government spending? The County and the Cities should discuss combining trash collection, purchasing, employee relations and other services. While those tasks are small in the larger scheme of government operations, the move would show they are wil...

For anyone listening to the news, it's like a crazy mixture of fairy tales - Chicken Little's sky is falling and the big Bad wolf is huffing and puffing, ready to blow the housing market away. The sad fact of the matter is that fear sells. More than that, as with any commodity, fear in the marketplace is a self fulfilling prophecy. Those who fear they will not be able to cash in on their home panic an put it on the market in the hopes that it will go, and those who were planning on buying, get panicked into waiting for prices to plummet so they can make a killing, but end up realizing too late that the prices aren't plummeting and sometimes wind up paying more for what they wanted to buy in the first place!It's been said that a silver lining can be found in almost any situation. The cur...

With the first quarter of 2007 now in the history books those that had been making all sorts of dire predictions of a market crash and bursting bubbles have  been proven to be more alarmist than prophets. When good fundamentals are in place investments will rise and fall but seem to always find a level that returns them to normalcy. This is true with the Real Estate market in SW Florida, as well as, all of Florida for that matter. Florida's real estate has some unique features that give it an edge over the real estate in some other areas. Florida enjoys an increasing job market, a lack of undeveloped land, a steady increasing influx of both domestic and international immigration, a baby boom generation looking for a warm area to retire to and a favorable income tax (none). According to ...
