Waterfront Options in Cape Coral, FL

Types of Waterfront in Cape Coral When considering to purchase a waterfront property in Cape Coral Florida, as well as other parts of SW Florida, an understanding of the options and limitations of the various types of waterfront is essential for making a good real estate purchase.  Cape Coral has approximately 400 miles of canals, giving property owners and potential buyers several different waterfront options in Cape Coral to choose from and enjoy along with the SW Florida climate.  The difference mainly being access or lack of access to open water, and boating limitations. Freshwater Canals About a third to one half of all the canals in Cape Coral are considered “fresh water” and do not have access to open water (the gulf, river or inter-coastal).  Many of these canals do interconnect with each other and with a few freshwater lakes within the interior of Cape Coral.  They are great for “tooling” around throughout the freshwater canal system where there is great fishing just like every other bit of water here in SW Florida.  The one thing you can’t do though is boat to open water.  Of

Making Your Real Estate Offer Stand Out

Being out-bid on a real estate purchase sucks! They accepted another offer, what happened?  In many communities, SW Florida being no different, the market has “shifted” quite dramatically over the past couple of years.  Inventory levels are low and buyers who have been on the side lines for the past few years are now back in the game.  We have had many clients who, in the past few months, have had their (reasonable) real estate offer looked over for another.  Some can blame themselves for not heeding our advice by submitting a lower offer than suggested, but many did submit strong offers and in some cases over the asking price offers.  What happened and how do we learn from this? Along with a robust sellers market (in our area), approximately 50% of single family home transactions and about 65% of condo transactions are cash.  You’ve heard that “cash is king”, well cash may also be the norm (at least in our area).  But not everyone has the means to pay cash.  Luckily, there are a few tips to help your real estate

The Worst Real Estate Pictures…Ever.

I suppose it’s not funny, especially to the poor seller trying to sell their home, but there are more horrible pictures on property listings than you ever could imagine.  Too dark, too light, out of focus, upside down, how about no pictures?  I say to myself “what are they thinking?”.  Even if a bad photograph is taken (which is easy to do), why would you use it in your marketing?  Another good question is why would the seller find this acceptable?  Do they not know how their property is being marketed?  The simple answer many times is no. Why is this so important? NAR, the National Association of Realtors, keeps track of every type of statistic you can imagine when it comes to real estate and real estate marketing.  The lack of photos or the inclusion of very poor quality photos do have an effect on the sale of the property listing.  It is a fact that property listings with a lack of good quality photos take longer to sell and do sell for less money than property listings with several good quality
