Florida Future Realty, Inc is a sponsor at this year's event: Cape Coral July 4th Fireworks!

4th of July is almost upon us! The chamber of Cape Coral will again be having their Annual Fireworks show at the foot of the Cape Coral bridge. There will be a lot of things to do, things to eat & people to see! I'm not for sure how many people usually show up for this but it is always packed! I've been there most every year myself.

I'll be sure to report back with photos!

Well now that school is officially out here locally many people are considering buying a new home in time for the school year. This includes those relocating from other areas, those moving within the Lee County area & those currently renting & ready to buy.

The 2 typical questions I am asked about the schools here in Lee County are:

• What school district is this home in?

Lee County is set up as a school choice county. This means that you get your pick of what school your child goes to. You can pick from any of the schools in your zone. Most people end up getting their first or second choices. Go ahead, check out the Lee County School's Zoning Map.

• Are the schools good here?

Well that's easy to answer. Lee County has a grading system set up for the schools. You can go online & see how each ranks here in Lee County.

Wow, I just read an article in the Ft. Myers News Press about a local builder who is removing windows, doors, appliances, etc from brand new homes being built in Cape Coral.

The builder is stating that they are removing the items to prevent them from being stolen while the owners are not happy with it.

As the market continues to shift here in Cape Coral many investors who built new homes cannot afford them.

 Some were planning to move down, while MOST were expecting to sell for a profit. Well the ones who were expecting to sell for a profit have now realized that in many cases they own thousands, even a hundred thousand more than current market value. Some can afford to rent the property out and continue to make mortgage payments, others cannot. Those who cannot are facing foreclosure.

Should the builder be removing items from the home? Who does the property belong to; the borrower, the bank or the builder? I guess it would depend upon where they are in the building process but in most cases the borrower took out a construction loan in the beginning so they are technically the owner, even though they haven't closed on the house yet. But the builder has gotten paid from the bank in draws for their work already.

You can read more about this online at the NewsPress.

 

As the Real Estate Market continues to change so do we!

The short of the story is that the buyers market is STRONG here. We are finding real estate deals for our customers that are close to amazing. I am now seeing prices back down to 2003-2004 values.

This is awesome news for:

• Investors
• First Time Homebuyers/Current Renters
• Retirees
• Those relocating to SW Florida
• Ok, let's just say ALL Buyers!

We just created a new website to list pre foreclosures/short sales & rehabs in the area. We will send new properties out via email for all who join.

Buy NOW, the time is right. Sellers are negotiable (finally), prices are down, and we're in our 'off season'. It doesn't make any more sense than this.
