The boat lift in NW Cape Coral is currently being removed. This WILL give boaters a more direct access to the gulf of mexico. It was already gulf access. Now, for the time being, it is just easier and quicker to get out to open water.
They are conducting an environmental study for at least a year to see how this effects everything. Then they may or may not put up another lift or something else.
So question, do I think this can help home sales in the area? Of course. I think if buyers see how their access just became better it will make them like that area more.
Of course, this may or may not be forever. Things can change. Things can change anytime. For anything.
At the present time and without my crystal ball I cannot say if the lift will be rebuilt. They don't seem to know yet either.
There is a lot of bad information out there. Heck, I see agents with listings on FRESHwater with no access to the Gulf advertising them as Gulf Access. Maybe they didn't know. Maybe they did. They should. Either way - buyers be careful.
Make sure you work with a real estate agent who knows the area. I've lived in Cape Coral since 1994. I cannot say I know everything but I'll assist you in finding the answers to your questions.
"Wooing Buyers" I don't think so. Pointing out a PLUS - sure thing!
"Realtors using it as a sales pitch for Gulf Access" - It IS Gulf Access, now and BEFORE :)
