Cape Coral, Florida We are all looking for the truth right? Well I'm sure some are not. Some people thrive in drama filled environments that may consist of lies and deceit.

Good News in Cape Coral

Cape Coral Communities, Cape Coral Real Estate, News, Opinion, Real Estate Market, SW Florida News
Good News in Cape Coral 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,…

2010 Hurricane Season

Cape Coral Real Estate, Opinion, SW Florida News, SW Florida Weather
June 1, 2010 Cape Coral, Florida June 1 is the first day of Hurricane Season. This year is predicted to be a busy hurricane season. The official NOAA predictions are as follows: “We estimate a 70% probability for each of the following ranges of activity this season: 14-23 Named Storms, 8-14 Hurricanes 3-7 Major Hurricanes An ACE range of 155%-270% of the median.” (from http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/outlooks/hurricane.shtml) NOAA is clear to state that they DO NOT make landfall predictions. They are unable to predict landfall until a few days out. It is always best to be prepared as you never know exactly what may happen in your neighborhood/area. The good news with Hurricanes is that they give us plenty of warning. We are notified of their formation SEVERAL days before they are…

Green Homes

Opinion
Are You Living 'Green"? When you think of going 'green' and reducing your carbon footprint what first comes to mind? "Instead of tossing out my soda cans, today will be the day I dig out the laundry occupying my recycle bin and use it as it was intended."  Well that is indeed a great start, but if we want to make a difference on the grand scale of things we can start by reviewing the materials we use to build or remodel our existing homes, or research the 'green' practices already in place in a home we intend to purchase.  When researching home builders and modelers in SW Florida, I came across many dedicated builders with the mission of transforming existing or building more 'green 'dwellings.  Here are some useful tips…
