Lee County real estate market statistics

Buyers, Cape Coral Real Estate, SW Florida Real Estate
Welcome to September. I can't believe we're 2/3 through 2008 already. This year seemed to FLY by. It has proved to be a very historical year so far for real estate here in SW Florida.

Cape Coral Real Estate, Cape Coral short sales, Fort Myers Real Estate, Fort Myers short sales, Sellers, SW Florida Real Estate
Did your listing agreement for your Cape Coral or Ft. Myers property expire last week? Do you still need help to sell your property?   I ask because today I received several phone calls & emails from Fort Myers & Cape Coral homeowners asking for help. For whatever reasons their house, condo or investment property didn’t sell. I checked in our MLS and in the last week 1,198 residential homes in our local MLS (multiple listing service) EXPIRED!   I spoke to one gentleman today who is going to need a short sale on his Ft.
