Happy July 4th. ..It has been hot with some rain in the afternoons.Its our hottest time of year..it did not put any damper on the amount of visitors to the island though..compared to inland florida we are "cool" and this past weekend sanibel arms west was at 100% capacity, while it seemed to me as i drove by other condominiums near by ( sandalfoot and sanibel arms ) enjoyed 50%- 75% capacity. The annual parade was a big success and a local rental agency donated 15k to pay for the Dunes fireworks so that was a go. Rebecca went with her kids....waiting to hear her report today.Recent closings were: Homes2401 Shop Road $ 190,0001245 Anhinga $ 475,000721 Durion $525,0001329 Eagle Run Drive $945,0002723 Coconut Drive $ 1,000,0001765 Venus Dr. $ 1,350,00016183 Captiva Drive $2,500,0004767 Tradewinds $1,295,000 Condos closed sandpebble 3d $325,000Lighthouse Point 123 $ 486.000Sundial 1204 $ 515,000Kings Crown 108 525,000Gulf Beach 106 $660,000Looking at those numbers...with interest rates down to an all time low..( under 4% with adjustable rate ), there has never been a better time to make sanibel your home, second home , or investment property.!Have a great week!Glenn

Interest rates continue to hold at all time low rates weather has been a balmy . . . still cool in the mornings..lots of sun by noon.Have a great week!-Glenn April 15- april 27Busy Homes took center stage for the last part of april. There were 5 closed sales this period with s/l ratio the highest in a long time ..98%..the average days on market were # 179. This indicates to me we are at our bottom and sellers were realistic and buyers fortunate.new sales of homes which went contingent, but not yet closed were # 8.Condos which were closed were # 3 their average l/s ratio was 85% and it took an average of 1 year to sell them.Condos did however see #9 condos go contingent during this period ..the pricesrange was 299- 749k.cash flows- more owners are using vrbo to increase their cash flows and with the interest rates down, 30% required as a down payment..with a little work..we are actually seeing for the first time since the early 80's a possibility of a break even.,...( do i dare say positive cash flow ) on a $400,000 gulf side of the street 2/2 T his means at 5.25% interest and the owner helping his rental company ( 10 % referral instead of 20% )..it is possible with work on the owners part to see an income of 10% of the purchase price. At long last ...My picks are sanibel arms west and Loggerhead...Good buys- If i was ever in the market for a gulf or bay front this would be my year to make a move..there are a couple of amazing places with wide open bay front views with docks under 2.6...Gulf front west gulf drive begins in the 3.5 range.under contract last weekend were a gulf ridge gulf front listed near 5 Million.have a good week...weather here is 83 degrees today and sunny..waves were beautiful this morning on my morning walk...lots of shells...few people...east end is paradise.take care and good thoughts-glenn April 1-15 All categories of propertiesNew listings # 21Contingent sales # 13Closed sales #22Home stats:Residential homes sold this month had a average of 94% l/sale ratio.that means ..the properties selling are the properties priced right as historically our l/s ratio has run between 94-96% in the past decade.the average days on market were 173 average price sold the first 15 days were $668,000Condominium stats:average price $510,000average days on market 447List to sale ratio 90%condo sales outsold home sales this month so far over 2:1, but price obviously was a factor in buyer motivation.next month will be very interesting ..price stats will be up significantelyas there are many high end homes and condos under contract.Have a good week-glennMarch Stats are in 6 lot sales - including a Captiva Gulf front lot for $3 Million +

Check back with us next week for more updates!Best,GlennGood Market News march 2010February this year was the beginning of our market stabilizing.We have all been waiting patiently for the market to rebound and though sales of homes have increased in volumn 45% as compared to the same period in 2009, the big surprise has been the rebound in sales acitivity in the condo market.Sanibel and Captiva have seen a 60% increase in the amount of condo activity the first 83 days of 2010 as compared with last year's dismal sales reports for the same period. Our office has seen our best month ever reaching 30 sales as of 3/23 and we have 8 days to go for our final count! We are hopefull and relieved...the gloom seems to be over.However, I dont see a rapid increase in the sales prices. That will take time. A normal pattern reminiscent of the sales on the island in the 80's nd 90's will again occur. Buying on the Island was a life choice 30 years ago and it is once again the new motivation. We will enjoy a communtiy of owners who live here a majority of the year who are involved in making the communtiy a better place to live and enjoy family.Price appreciation will be slow and steady...not volcanic as it was since 2003. Appreciation will once again be defined as " a deep appreciation of the Island" Owners will appreciate their memories and appreciate the founding fathers and mothers of the island who fought the county to preserve the Island in the 70's.As our inventory of properties is reduced, we will be back to the pace of 1-3%appreciation once again. With steady growth comes a new buyer profile. The Number 1 goal of the buyer of 2010 is to improve their own life story. Maybe that is what value is all about.app Sales activity 3/10- 3/19Sundial S 401 under contract $574,000Sanibel Surfside unit # 235 $690,0002 commerical properties under contract:the shell shop at 1025 Periwinkle way $749k2365 Periwinkle way $800,000new pendings - homes 15017 Binder Drive2287 Butterknife $999,000Vacant Land413 Tiree $299,900629 lake urex circle $ 329,000Not as busy as we would like.

It doesnt surprise you. It's not ordinary,but it stays the same. Visitors can come back and know what they are coming back to. Locals also enjoy the expected, not the unexpected. It is an enviornment which works and continues to evolve but keeps it sameness and draws a constant tranquil bath. Homes- great year to purchase- Interest rates are at a 60 year low, and we are at the bottom...Though not expected to make a sharp V turn upward..we made it to the bottom and are now resting for awhile..We are hearing some good stories from some of our Mid- Western customers that home sales are up and some buyers are getting ready to move down. It's the domino effect.Condominiums- Now more than ever if you own a condominium or are thinking of a purchase it is important to be involved with marketing your property..it can mean 7-$10,000 more income per year.

On the shore this morning I watched 2 small boats of fisherman throw their nets. It was still dark, and their figures were highlighted by the lights from the east of fort myers beach. I wondered if they caught anything.. My dog made me run..the sun was rising.... ( gosh..this sounds like a Movie plot ) Have a great week. Glenn
Oct 6- Oct 14
Hearing about 9 degree weather from my family in montana it is hard to believe we are on the same planet..here on the islands we are at 93 degrees and longing for 88 degrees.. We do have a promise of a cool front coming in this coming Sunday which should make Oct 20th the day we will begin our fall weather.
Beach walks- My mid- Island beach walks are becoming more populated. I saw 3 people this morning at 6:45 along with a friendly dog, a crab and a sun glow. The sun was a brilliant orange and I still gasp when I reach the end of the walkway and reach sand and look to my left..
