The Carretta Report closed sales 8/5/11- 8/23/11
This is our slow time of year . . . actually one of the best times to purchase if you are looking for a time when there is less competition and you may have a bit more purchase power compared to march when all hands are on deck.
Interest rates are at all times low with fixed conforming ( borrowing under $ 417,000 ) at
4.15- 4.25% and shorter adjustable rates - 7 year less hovering around 3.5%.

Carretta Commentary- This is the time if you have been a serious sanibel buyer to consider the island. From a foreclosure lot on main street for $110,000 to a gulf front home with guest home in gulf ridge east in the 3 million dollar range there has never been a better time to call paradise home. Search the continent for a better city to call home and let me know what you find....i cant find a better place.

Real Estate Market Update for Sanibel & Captiva Islands,FL 3/22 - 4/5/11
I think it has rained twice since Christmas holiday. Now i?m not here to brag..but if you are thinking of becoming a SW floridian there never has been a better time... the interest rates are still low ( 5% ish ) and the prices though beginning to inch up in some areas are crazy low for the island life you can have.....think about it..let me keep you in the loop....tell me what you are looking for...visit me often on line..share my expertise in the island marketplace. It will be worth it.
On another upbeat note..here are 4 homes which are the best of the best in each category. Enjoy my 1 min. movie!

Sales for the past 3 weeks
For the first 22 days of Feb. there have been one sale a day, or 22 sales reported through mls Sanibel.
Again, the split between condos and homes

1 lot sold mid $300?s
Activity has increased - especially past 1 week
just reduced condo at white sands dropped to $ 599,000 and sold in a day or two.
NOTE- if you are a serious buyer..now is the time to e-mail me and let me know you wish to be informed when there is a price drop or new underpriced listing ...you will need to act fast for certain properties. We are an island..and bottom line is there still is only so many properties that could be on the market.
I have heard Fort myers Beach is booked solid for season...Tarpon Beach unit 110 which is on the market for $ 709,000 has never booked so well. This year has 30k booked already..
Good signs of recovery..

Weekly Update 1/19- 1/25
There is a feeling in the air now everything in real estate is going to be alright for most .
Full time realtors are busy and showing mutliple times per week to buyers once again.
Not all of them are making a purchasing decision while they are down this trip, but when they say they will be back...they are sincere. The Islands look absoutley beacutiful. I have never seen the gulf waters so blue..the weather has been a balmy 75 degrees this week, and there are lots of folks swimming in the heated pools.
Though there have been a huge amount of pending contracts this month, the closed sales these past 6 days were few.( 15th and 30th prove again to be the big monthly closing dates )
Sandpepple 4A sold for $ 330,000
1311 Sandcastle road $ 630,000
1105 Skiff Place $435,000
As of 1/25 our office has 30 properties which have gone under contract since the first of the year. Compared to last year we are up around 40% for the same month ( jan ) in 2010 .

Sanibel & Captiva Island Real Estate Market update 1/2/11
Happy New Year everyone!
The last 23 days have been busy so I apologize for not getting the update up in a timely fashion.
There have been 19 closings on Sanibel and Captiva. The mood is mixed. There are some areas of Sanibel and Captiva which seem to have hit bottom, while others may have a bit to go.
The News Press today ( Jan 2, 2011 ) real estate section notes there is hope now in the real estate market here. There have been several phone calls in the past 14 days from buyers who have calculated we are at the bottom and it will never be a better time to buy.
Other buyers are calculating income on condos and with cash offers estimating what their incomes would be on their money..
These are all good signs.
I track properties in the fort myers, Buckingham and alva areas also. When there used to be acreage available in the $150,000 - $200,000 range . . . that has virtually dried up and no longer can be found in the entry level . . . Interesting.
Good buys..there are still a few.
Below are pictures of a fabulous, newer ground level home with guest home located in The Sanctuary at Wulfert Point. It is offered for $1,289,000 - mostly furnished, lake views, a great price!
Also - Beachviews Best Buy! Now Listed below $ 650,000 -cant replace anywhere near that number!
Have a good week and be back next week!

Sanibel & Captiva Real Estate Market Update for WeekSeptember 13, 2010
Comparing closed sales of all categories ( land- homes- condos on sanibel and captiva we seem to be at a point where we are leveling off. I will provide some beautiful graphs and color charts as soon as i learn my new program.
I will summarize by noting the last 4 years stats in closed sales During the first 9 mo, 16 days of the same period .
2007 # 254
2008 # 252
2009 # 213
2010 #245
Though prices are not back to where they were in 2006 we are becoming a more predicable and stable market. Demand is lowering supply which on our limited inventory community makes a big difference in future sales.

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.

April 15- april 27
Busy
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 prices
range 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 properties
New listings # 21
Contingent sales # 13
Closed sales #22
Home 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 $668,000
Condominium stats:
average price $510,000
average days on market 447
List 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 significantely
as there are many high end homes and condos under contract.
Have a good week-
glenn
March Stats are in

Good Market News march 2010
February 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.

Open houses this week 1/20- 1/27 saw increase in interest and questions. The real estate market here on the island as well as fort myers in certain areas seem to have bottomed out. Select residential areas in fort myers and value markets on sanibel are actually hot and turning the corner a little bit to I may add...not really quite a seller's market in those areas...but a seller advantage in those areas...

Trends and growth for 2010 - Happy New Year!
The true beauty of Sanibel is that it is one of those places that is familar. 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. Go to Craig's List, Go to VRBO- join
* This is a summary of page # 21 Trends and Growth " Glenn's Guide" which is in print now and will be available 2010 edition by Jan 30th. E-mail me for a 77 page copy.
Dec 28- jan 2-
there are less bike riders now and the sidewalks are near-clear at 8 P.M.
When a week ago, it was packed with families having fun and getting some exercise day and night in the warm sun. Though it is a cool 60 degrees here it gives us all a chance to wear Aunties Sweater she knit us a few Birthdays ago....daytime high close to 68 degrees about 60 degrees warmer than Chicago.
Showing activity brisk this week- will see what turns into sales. Closed the last week of 2009 were:
Homes # 546 East Rocks $540,000
1149 Paper Fig ( Canal frontage ) $ 1.700,000

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..
