Homes for Sale under $100,000 in Cape Coral We have customers that are looking in the under $100k price range in Cape Coral.  These properties are moving fast and most are in great condition.  I have written multiple full price offers for properties to have them overbid by others.

This is a crazy market. Cape Coral and Fort Myers Buyers are ecstatic over the deals they are putting together.  When you look at the nuts and bolts of the deal they are really amazing.  For instance the ability to buy a home for 2/3  and less of actual cost of building it.  That is a steal!  Prices when inflated equaled ...

Short Sales are out of control in Cape Coral and Fort Myers I have received one call after another to try to short sale homes and land.  It is truly epidemic.  I really wish I understood the thinking of the banks and what is reality in dealing with short sales.  Taking a short sale is like going to the dentist for a root canal. ...

Lee County had 80 new permits and Cape Coral had 34 permits (more than double last month).  This seems to be the beginning of the turn.  The sense I get of the market is how people talk about what is happening and what they are doing about it.  The buyers are ...

Mortgage failures in Cape Coral. How bad was it? Well, I have been doing what is known as loss mitigation for a company that will remain anonymous. Essentially that means meeting with folks that were given a loan in lean times and are now strangled trying to figure out what to do next.  I’m hired to help the bank help the people ...

Well it looks like the city of Cape Coral is listening to the people and the seawall install is on hold. If they delay these projects for the short term until we begin the recovery from this economic downturn then we don't contribute to the problem. We need more thinking like that.  This is not an overnight thing.  We will be ...
