Cape Coral Florida's Real Estate Guide

Time to Buy, Sell, etc

A lot of people have many articles pertaining to when the timing is right. The best answer is when the timing is right for you - that's when the timing is right! I personally got into real estate in SWFL in 2004. I remember people making the comment to me in the years past "I could have bought that lot Gulf Access for X amount of $, I should have when I had the opportunity". There are several key words here. "Timing" it has to be right for you to be involved. "Opportunity" it has to be right for you to be involved. Think of the people that "could have" and didn't. So, if the timing is right for you we certainly have the opportunities.

It's ok to call a Realtor® and ask questions, it's ok not to make a purchase now, It's ok to know that selling right now is not an option for you. (it's all about your purpose and financial situation) Find someone that you like, trust and want to do business with and go from there. Most of us seriously work and live by our code of Ethics! We can't force you to buy anything you don't want.

You can research our entire area and see most of what's out there but, until you are ready to tell us what you're really looking for - we don't know how to help you. We do have access to a few things that are not public. That's why we're Realtors ®

Have a great week. Look for some updates and "healthy recipes" to come soon.

Lee County building permits

Much to my surprise Lee County issued 80 single family permits for the month of May valued at $ 26.9 million. Of course no comparison to May of 2007, which there were 307 issued.

28 multi family unit permits in May and 37 new commercial building permits in May valued at a $21.2 million. Slowly but surely building seems to be on the rise. I am sure we can expect this to continue but at a pace like a turtle! I guess something is better than nothing at all!

July 4th 2008

Don't forget our famous Red, White & Boom located at the foot of the Cape Coral bridge to Del Prado Boulevard. The Cape Coral Bridge and Cape Coral Parkway will shut down from 12:00 pm July 4 until 3:00 am July 5 for Southwest Florida's biggest fireworks display event.

Bring the family and celebrate. The event is amazing with fireworks, food, drink, and local arts-n-crafts, all in downtown Cape Coral! This truly is a great event and fun for everyone!

Hope to see you there!

Through Lee County Government you can now be sitting in traffic on I-75 and call 511 from your cell phone to find out an estimated time of sitting in traffic, getting to the next mile marker, etc. Just know your mile markers!
