I have a beautiful, completely renovated 6400 sf home on a canal, one lot off the river in historic Ft. Myers (off McGregor) listed for sale. As we were relocated just as we were finishing, we were not able to put in the pool, but everything is in place for a pool to be built. You will enjoy beautiful sunsets from the front porch and master bedroom. It is priced well below appraisal at $1.4 million. It is listed with Claude Allen - VIP Realty. You can contact me at 239-247-2133 with any questions if this is in your price range.

Builders Deals ~ Lowest Price Ever! You may consider a beautiful brand new high luxury Florida home on the Coral Oaks golf course with a pool and spa, in Cape Coral Florida. This new home is just minutes way from a city boat ramp in an upscale new area of new homes. Coral Oaks has views without the fees! It makes it very affordable. The views are unbelievable, breathtaking 2000' rear lanai views overlooking the sunlit fairways at Coral Oaks, with wild bird life and songs of nature, century old oaks, lakes and true Florida beauty. There are very few golf courses in Cape Coral which makes this brand new home a great investment. Living in Florida, you may consider Northerly exposure or Southerly rear exposure. When the sunsets west, you do have to consider the strong sun facing directly at you making it difficult to see the sunsets or your views. For an example, if have a home with northern rear exposure, you will be able to see beautiful sunsets from your sun deck looking west and still have the sun on your pool lanai area, but have shade under your "covered" roof lanai areas, which makes it especially comfortable in hot summers.

When you have a home built with Impact Hurricane Doors & Windows, it can be a insurance savings, plus it does not block your views like some, when hurricane shutters are put over windows during storm season, usually when they are put up, most don't want to take them down due the work involved. That's why Impact Glass is so great to have in a home. The Hurricane Impact Glass also benefits security in the home. Sanctuary Homes can help you understand the differences in Florida homes.

It's definitely a good time to buy in the Fort Myers/Cape Coral area. For example you can purchase a direct Gulf access canal home with a sunset view for $280K to $340K asking price, with 2 car garage, over 1800 SF, South West Cape Coral, a tad over $4000/year in property taxes, qualities homes and location, about 15 to 30 mn to the river, enclosed ground pool, open floor plan and lots of tiles and modern features and counter tops..
The market is slow so it is a buyer's market.There are of course a fair amount of foreclosed homes and short sales.The location will determined the price and for these homes under $350K with direct gulf access they have a tendency to be a bit older in the Yacht Club area( close to the river), but they may be very well updated and a mile or 2 away from the river you will have more choices of recent homes.I would need to know your price range to give you an insurance quoat, and other closing costs..
There are of course homes at much lower prices with Fresh water canal frontage as we have over 200 miles of canals and lakes in Cape Coral. As far as Fort Myers is concerned ( that would be for example South West Fort Myers ) along Mc Gregor or Iona, the prices of homes have a tendency to be higher then Cape Coral. Fort Myers beach has homes that start in the high $300K minimum with gulf access but at these prices they do not even compare with the quality of homes in Cape Coral and you will have to spend over $400K for a decent home on Fort Myers Beach.The DIfference? you would live next to the beach from anywhere as the Island is only one mile wide at most.There are however deals everywhere these days and I woudl need to know what kind of home you need. The big difference with condos are the monthly fees. In most cases you do not have to pay for Flood Insurance with a condo as it is part of the fees.I have seen gorgeous condos under $270K with docks and great sunsets in the Iona area.In brief: the most interesting deals these days would be single homes and condos in Cape Coral for a gulf access property but due to the type of market we have you have a tremedous choice of homes and areas for affordable prices.

You have to ask yourself, what do you envision yourself doing with the property?
Are you read to live in Cape Coral for at least 5 years,if so there are plenty to choose from. If you're more seasonal or have a shorter time horizon before selling then, Fort Myers offers better value.

The market is perfect for buying.....now is the time. I can send you some properties as you say you are looking for some examples...if this is what you want send me an email at jessemcgreevy@gmail.com.
Insurance is not the problem that it was a couple years ago.......the last question you had is if the cost of condo and single family homeowner insurance is a lot different.....depends on area, age, construction type....etc...lots of different variables.
