Sanibel Captive Real Estate Market Update 10/10/11 - 10/31/11

Sanibel Captive Real Estate Market Update 10/10/11 - 10/31/11

November is one of my most favorite months on the islands...

the weather is just about perfect and the sunsets are beyond description..only pictures can tell the story...

Winter residents are coming back and there is a positive vibe on the islands..
our market is getting busier and we are meeting new future residents daily.
Interest rates still holding at around 4- 4/25% and with more bike paths, new bridge on lindgren, and new vegetation on palm ridge...the island life is good.

Sanibel Island & Captiva Island Real Estate Market Report

Sanibel Island & Captiva Island Real Estate Market Report

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%.

Captiva had 2 home sales close

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. read full article here

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!
