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

Have a great week.

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..
