View of Cape Coral Canal

Cape Coral real estate can be a great investment for Foreign Nationals. Cape Coral is ranked #2 for global investors worldwide. Why do we think so many people are choosing to invest in Cape Coral real estate? For starters, the prices are still quite low compared with what you can find elsewhere. For instance, you can purchase a move in ready 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom concrete block home in Cape Coral for under $100,000. Not only that but for less than $150,000 you can even find a similar home in Cape Coral with an inground swimming pool! And if your budget is stretched even higher you can find a gulf access pool home in Cape Coral for under $300,000. Keep in mind that estate homes in Cape Coral are going to start in the low $500K range and go up from there but as an investment you really cannot go wrong purchasing a well appointed property in Cape Coral under $200,000.

Ok so enough with the prices, what can you do in Cape Coral? You can golf, fish, boat, sunbathe, swim, and enjoy the many parks throughout the city. Cape Coral used to be known as a sleepy little bedroom community but now Cape Coral residents can find work & play both right in the city of Cape Coral. Many new restaurants, shopping and entertainment establishments have popped up over the last few years.

You’ll enjoy Cape Coral if you like a slower paced relaxing environment vs a fast paced NY or Miami. If you are looking for the hottest parties and craziest night life Cape Coral probably isn’t for you. While we do have several places to grab a drink and listen to music or dance with your friends we are certainly not a big party city. Residents in Cape Coral tend to spend more time hanging out at local parks, taking a drive down to the beaches or enjoying a tour out on their boats.

Our weather is just fantastic. If you’ve never been down this far south in the state of Florida you may be surprised to learn that our very lows through the winter very rarely reach below 30-40 degrees. And typically we have 60-70 degree highs even in the winter. Our summer months can become pretty hot but if you are from most places you have to deal with hot summers there too. Our typical summer day averages low mid 70s and high low/mid 90s. But don’t forget, during the summer months we get a cooling afternoon shower, or even storm, nearly every day.

If you have any questions about moving or investing in Cape Coral real estate we’d love to hear from you. Our agents are available nearly around the clock to help make your decision to own real estate in Cape Coral a breeze.

To get started you can start your online search now for Cape Coral property or fill out our contact form to have an agent contact you right away about Cape Coral real estate!

We look forward to working with you!

We also work with sellers of real estate in Cape Coral. If you own a Cape Coral waterfront or off water property and would like to see it featured here; please let me know.

Did you read about the Cape Coral market and Fort Myers real estate market on Inman News?

http://www.inman.com/news/2011/05/23/10-markets-with-fastest-rising-real-estate-prices
“Two Florida markets saw the highest jumps: median list price in Fort Myers-Cape Coral rose 25.7 percent to $225,000, and the median in Miami rose 8.6 percent to $239,000.
Shreveport-Bossier City, La., followed with an 8.1 percent increase, to $173,000. Fort Myers-Cape Coral and Miami also saw the biggest year-over-year drops in inventory: -25.3 percent and -29.9 percent, respectively.”

What about CNNMoney’s take on the rise in prices in Cape Coral ?

http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/real_estate/1104/gallery.10_turnaround_towns/6.html

Even Realtor.org had a blurb about the Cape Coral real estate market:
http://www.realtor.org/rmodaily.nsf/pages/News2011050503?OpenDocument

The Gulf Coast Business Review reminded us that our Fort Myers local board of REALTORS announced that Foreclosures are fading in comparison to traditional sales here in the Fort Myers and Cape Coral areas:

Summer is historically our ‘slowest’ time of the year for Cape Coral real estate sales so if you are looking to make a home purchase in SW Florida come on down this summer and see what we have to offer. I have a strong suspicion that come fall (our typical busy season) we will see more price and inventory adjustments here in the Cape Coral real estate market.

There are so many different unique opportunities right now for buyers of Cape Coral real estate.

Some experts warn that this ‘new’ news may leave Cape Coral home sellers confused about pricing. I’m sure it will confuse some of the sellers in Cape Coral. That is why it is the best idea for Cape Coral sellers to consult with a reliable and honest real estate professional who specializes in Cape Coral real estate. Considering selling your home or property in Cape Coral? Contact us at Florida Future Realty, Inc. to find out if now is the best time for you to sell your Cape Coral real estate. We market our listings internationally & have a solid reputation for selling houses in and around Cape Coral, Florida.

What is good happening in Cape Coral? Well, it seems that anytime you search for “good news” and “Cape Coral” you find negative news. That is because pretty much all news stations focus on the negative. Whether it be crime, accidents, budget cuts or weather they sell more news when it is negative.

Don’t more people want to focus on the positive? I know I do. I rarely read any news. Why? Because it is depressing. I’d rather create my own happy news.

Cape Coral is a beautiful place to call home. With awesome weather year round, friendly residents, boating, fun & so much more!

How about the real estate market in Cape Coral for instance? Have you heard it is gloom and doom? Well, sort of. The values have been decreasing since the bust in 2006. Let me see if I can place a positive spin on this though. This allowed more homeowners to actually be able to afford to live in Cape Coral. In 2005 the least expensive house in Cape Coral was still about $250,000. Figure out the payments on that and not many ‘average’ people could afford to comfortably live here. Take that to our now $90,000 average house and it is a totally different story! Investors can also purchase homes that will actually cash flow now. Before that was completely unheard of. Sure, we still have more work to do. For instance, there are still too many vacant houses in Cape Coral. But we are selling those along with the regular occupied homes as well. To the tune of an average of about 500 residential homes per month in Cape Coral alone! That is a lot of inventory moving.

What about for sellers? You can see that there are great opportunities for buyers but are the sellers losing out? Nope! If they are upside down in their home and need to sell we can help them with a short sale. And if they have equity in their house there are plenty of buyers out there right now too! If they don’t need to sell, then they shouldn’t be trying to sell. That is easy

In closing, we all need to try to focus on the Happy Positive of ANY situation. Quit focusing on the negative and watch your life change. I hope you enjoyed this little ray of sunshine today!

We look forward to working with you.

The Cape Coral city council will set a maximum tax rate on July 26^th
2010 further tax cuts may be adopted before the final budget decision
in September 2010, and become effective October 1, 2010.  We are
hopeful that this new budget will help our Cape Coral residents in an
unstable economy.

This new budget comes as relief to home owners who can not afford
higher monthly payouts, or prospective home buyers needing to stay
within a specific budget.

Cape Coral is a wonderful and affordable place to live and work, we
hope that the low taxes and beautiful surroundings will continue to
attract people to our area.

The new bill allows for a little breathing room to buyers who are
involved with the arduous process of short sales and banked owned
foreclosures, there are many of these properties available in today’s
market and are offered at a discounted rates which makes them a
desirable.  These types of transactions are known to take quite a
bit longer than traditional real estate sales transactions to
complete.

This new bill allows for all contracts entered into by April 30, 2010
can now be closed on or before September 30, 2010 and still be eligible
for the tax credits.  The new bill
doesn’t grant any new tax credits it
only extends the deadline in which the transaction can be closed.

Home buyers and investors that have been involved in long
bank negotiations can still reap the benefits of these generous tax
incentives.  This extension will allow buyers the opportunity to
purchase a home or investment property they may have not been able to
otherwise.

If you would like more information about the first time and repeat
home buyers tax incentives please follow this link : Cape Coral tax credits

If we can help in anyway please don’t hesitate to call.

Many Cape Coral homes have been deemed “Chinese Drywall homes” and
unfortunately that comes with a stigma.  Most buyers are scared
away from the thought of purchasing a home affected with this mainly
because of the unknown.  We have learned a lot about them in recent
months and there continues to be more information on how and what is
necessary to correct the problems and make the home just like new.

Fortunately, the government has also stepped in and created a task
force that studied the effects Chinese drywall has on each individual
component of the home.  It is now mandated and guidelines were
created for removal and remediation.  This allows home owner the
security of knowing the job was done correctly.

The Interim Remediation Guidelines for Homes with Corrosion form
Problem Drywall are as follows

They state that you must replace:

• All possible problem drywall
• All fire safety alarm devices(including smoke alarms and carbon
  monoxide alarms)
• All electrical component and wiring (including outlets, switches,
  and circuit breakers);and
• All gas service piping and fire suppression sprinkler systems

According to the guidelines, once these repairs have been made your
home or potential home is ready and safe to occupy.  People have
once thought that it could spread to surfaces such as wood, tile,
carpet, and furniture.  The task force stated that they do not have
any scientific basis to believe that to be true.

The material in the effected drywall is high levels of sulfur, which
emits a corrosive gas that attaches itself to anything metal (copper
pipes, electrical wiring, HVAC, systems, appliances and so on) we know
that the removal process can be time consuming and added expense is
involved, but people should not steer clear of these properties
anymore.  There are many of these homes in inventory that are
priced well below market value giving the consumer the potential of
instant equity once the repairs have been made.

We have been in contact with a local contractor that states they are
able to repair these homes for approximately $21.00 a square foot (just
to give you an estimate of the repair costs). This contractor will
guarantee the complete removal of the drywall and all directly affected
components.

We also have been made aware of a lender that has allocated funds for
rehabs, including Chinese Drywall.

We hope this information help open doors for buyers that just haven’t
found the “right” place.

Florida Future Realty, Inc. was so excited to be a part this year’s
Cape Coral Relay for Life.  The event was held on the football
field of Ida Baker high school and decorated to resemble Mardi
Gra.  More than 70 teams of local business participated for an
amazing night.  Teams sold anything from food to crafts; there was
even a tarot card reader in the tent next to us.   The Florida
Future Realty, Inc. tent consisted of carnival like games for the kids
and a raffle.

Many of the teams brought tents to camp in, as the event lasted
through the night into Saturday morning.   There was a
comedian to provide comic relief, and a DJ that played through the night
to keep the participants awake and walking the track all 18 hours of
the event.

There were thousands of attendants there for a common goal, to help
find a cure for cancer. This year $132,000 was raised, which exceeded
last year’s totals by a few thousand.

Cape Coral’s Relay for Life was a huge success.  We were so
fortunate to be asked to participate in this event, and had a wonderful
time supporting the cause.
