About Fort Myers' Timber Ridge

Timber Ridge Waterfront Homes

Time and time again, I have clients asking for waterfront homes. There is certainly something calming about having a beautiful view of water. It does not really matter what it is, it could be a view of the Gulf of Mexico, intracoastal waterways, the Caloosahatchee River, or even a lake, but having a view of the water creates an extra level of serenity at home.

If you are looking for this type of view, but not looking to spend an arm and a leg to be on water, you may consider looking at the Timber Ridge waterfront homes.

There are 4 lakes within Timber Ridge that could all be a possibility for you. While Timber Ridge is not a large community, you can usually find yourself a great deal of a waterfront home currently listed for sale.

Here is a list of all of the homes for sale in Timber Ridge Fort Myers. If you want to find the best deal, let me know and I'll be happy to help.

Gateway offers other communities that could work for you as well. I keep a list of all of the best deals in Gateway, so you can spend less without sacrificing your wants and needs. Also, depending on the time frame you have to move into your new house, you may consider looking at short sales as well. We've found some phenomenal deals on short sales recently. Better yet, another avenue for you to find a great deal is through foreclosures. We've seen a slow down in the number of foreclosures that have hit the market, especially in Timber Ridge, but the occasional foreclosure does come along. They are typically the best deals you will find! Again, let me know what you are looking for, and I'll be happy to go to work to find it for you.

Foreclosures in Timber Ridge

You will almost certainly be seeing more foreclosures in Timber Ridge. The carnage continues. This morning it was announced that in October Lee County had the second highest foreclosure filings in the country. As long as this continues there will continue to be homes ridiculously priced at about half the cost of new construction. While this area still leads the nation the raw numbers of foreclosures are down to about 30% of what they were at the peak. Take a look and see if there are any foreclosures in Timber Ridge at this time. Chances are that there are. This provides a unique opportunity to purchase a great home in a fantastic community at prices not seen since the 90s.

If you considered the purchase of a home in Southwest Florida in the past and are not taking advantage of this market I have to ask why? In 2007 when prices were double homes were flying off the shelves so fast that people offered contracts without even seeing the homes. While the market is much different right now there are certain similarities. Foreclosure homes in Timber Ridge do not stay on the market for long. The buyers that recognize this opportunity and have decided to buy are decisive. When a quality foreclosure comes on the market it does not last long. It is not uncommon for foreclosure properties to sell for above asking price after receiving multiple offers. Take a look at the foreclosures in Timber Ridge right now. As I write this there are currently none available but that changes daily.

If you want to take advantage of this great opportunity watch closely and team up with the Dohack Group to stay on top of the market. The great deals go to those who are decisive and team up with the best in the business so that they have the advantage of knowing the latest breaking properties. Not every foreclosure is a great deal. Many times they need considerable work to be renovated to the level people expect. This is not for everyone. Many would rather buy something that they can walk in to, place their furniture, and begin to enjoy their new home. Others, ( I would be one of them ) embrace the opportunity to buy a home at a discount and then do renovations that are to their taste and make the home their own. It is obviously and effort but that effort yields results that you continue to enjoy for as long as you own the home. If this is something that you are considering then you most definitely should have us on your team. We are very experienced in this area and can offer guidance and assistance that you will not get from other Realtors. Give us a call at the Dohack Group and take the first step toward that new home you have been dreaming of.

Short Sales in Timber Ridge

Searching for Short Sales in Timber Ridge? They are not too hard to find these days. Timber Ridge was not built at the peak of the real estate market but just prior to the peak. Consequently, anyone needing to sell is upside down and is forced to short sell. These homes are generally well cared for and priced unbelievably low. Take a look for yourself at the short sales in Timber Ridge. So what is the downside you ask? Short sales can take 3 to 6 months and even longer and some never close. I don't know about you but when I finally decide to buy a home, search for the perfect one, and find it - I want it. Not in 6 months or a year, and I certainly don't want to wait a year just to find out that I can't have it at all. So why does anyone do it?

Because they can't pass up a deal. Actually short sales work well for investors and for those trying to find a second home without any real time line. I run in to many people that continuously second guess their decisions sometimes known as buyer's remorse. If you are one of these people do yourself a favor and run when someone suggests a short sale. They are for the truly determined souls in this world.

If you think you have what it takes do not despair. The process is always evolving and for the most part is much better than it was. These deals do get done. Take a look at the short sales in Timber Ridge right now. Banks have figured out that they fare much better when a home is sold through the short sale process than foreclosure. The properties are more salable and less time and legal action is required as well as taxes, HOA dues, etc.. If this sounds like the path for you then pick up the phone and give us a call at the Dohack Group. We will be more than happy to help you find the perfect short sale in Timber Ridge.

What an odd thing to base a purchase on especially when the numerical application of it works in reverse for the buyer.
