What do You Get For Your Money In Today’s Cape Coral Real Estate Market?

Cape Coral is a very pretty city located in sunny SW Florida on the Caloosahatchee River. Just west of Fort Myers, Cape Coral has hundreds of miles of canals flowing into the Gulf of Mexico. It is one of the largest boating communities in Florida. The popular beaches of Ft Myers Beach, Captiva and Sanibel Islands are close by. Living choices include beaching, boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming and snorkeling.

At the moment Cape Coral has a wonderful choice of homes, condos and vacant land. My clients are those looking to make a move now, to buy a second home or invest in a future home.

Below $100,000: Yes, there are many single family homes out there. This amount of money will probably buy you a smaller home on a dry lot without a pool. In the outer areas of Cape Coral it may be a new home. Close to a central location, it will be older or may be a fixer upper. Ideal buy for a 1st time home buyer or investor.

$100,000 to $200,000: The majority of Cape Coral homes fall into this price range. These homes are usually in move-in condition, convenient locations and full of wonderful amenities. They may be on freshwater canals and have built in pools. Occasionally a gulf access property home will fall into this price point.

$200,000 to $400,000: This is the bargain Cape Coral gulf access price range. The lower the price the further from the Gulf of Mexico the home is. Often there are handy man specials on the lower end of this price point. The upper end of this price point will be a home that is move in condition with pool and dock. There a many excellent choices in this price range.

$400,000 to $800,000: These homes are the larger, newer, superb Gulf Access or direct, sailboat access, maybe be renovated or full of top quality amenities. On the higher end of this price point, you can have a stunning home. These homes were twice the price 2 years ago, now there the ultimate deal.

$800,000 and above: This is luxury living by any standard. In this price range Cape Coral offers a large home on excellent gulf access in this range. If you were to compare Cape Coral waterfront prices to other areas of the country, these properties are truly a good value.

There are homes in the short sale category listed not much over $100,000. Whether the Bank accepts an offer depends upon various factors, such as the amount of the current mortgage on the property and the results of the bank's appraisal of the property.

Hi Jim,
I ran a search for you in Cape Coral, single family homes, non- short sales 100k and less. I came up with 64 total properties. I went back and added only homes built 2000 and up and came back with 7. If you would like I can forward you the results.
Have a great day,
Nancy

There are definitely some homes available in Cape Coral newer, just over $100,000. Some of the short sale prices may or may not be true prices that the bank is willing to accept though. If you are not in a hurry to buy we can help you submit offers on these short sales & see what the banks say. Turnaround time for an answer is about 30-45 days provided the listing agent has all of the sellers documents in order.

Feel free to search for homes on my website: http://www.FindCapeCoralRealEstate.com

Hi Jim,
A simple rule we go by is.....If it looks too good to be true....it probably is!!!

With this said, there are currently great opportunities in all Florida markets. But if you are looking for security in your investment, we recommend your location carefully because there are locations that have much greater alleal because of location and quality of life.

If you are open to other Florida locations, we would recommend visiting the Venice /Sarasota area.

Good luck,
