Things to know * Bank Owned Waterfront Forereclosures in Cape Coral Florida.

Buying a Bank Owned waterfront foreclosures in Cape Coral Florida in 2010 will be one of the best buys in the foreclosure market in all of Florida. Prices are down 60-65 percent from many years past. Gulf Access Waterfront and Waterfront Foreclosures can be a great investment but you have to know the boating aspects in regards to each location of the property your viewing in Cape Coral Florida.

Cape Coral Florida has over 300 miles of Gulf access waterfront property. Each location can be very different in regards to your boating pleasure. Location and boating distances to the gulf may not be as important to you now, but they may come into play down the road when you might be thinking about selling! Now it is a Buyers Market, it is also the time to shop for the "Best Location" and "Amenities" on a waterfront home or a gulf access lot, while the selection is great ! Here are some key things to keep in mind.

Here are some great questions to ask yourself as you view each property !

1 What is the water level on the canal at low tide?

2 How long of boat ride to the river? Gulf access?

3 Are there any boat lifts, locks or a bridge that I would have to travel thru?

4- What is the bridge height at high tide? At low tide?

5- Condition of the sea wall? The dock? Active dock permit? Restrictions?

6- Is the property on a main canal for boat traffic? What is access to a main canal?

7- Fresh water home? Then what is the water level? How far can I travel in a boat?

8- It's all about the View ! Can I buy interesting canal location, better water view for the same money?

9- Where can I see water from what rooms in the house ? Again it's all about the View !

10- What are the fishing possibly from my own dock? Yes, some locations are better!

11- How big of boat will fit on the lift? What is the weight limits on the boat lift?

Before you buy a waterfront property in Cape Coral Florida, I strongly suggest you work with a Realtor that knows Cape Coral Florida on and off the water ! Waterfront homes in Cape Coral Florida can be a great investment you will have for many years to come. It's important you do your home work and someone help you with all the little details so your boating pleasure will be as much or even more fun then the time you enjoy in your new waterfront home in Florida !

I look forward to working with you !

Thinking About Avoiding Foreclosure? Marketing and Selling a Bank Short Sale.

Thinking about Avoiding Foreclosure ? Maybe the Bank Short Sale Process ?

Marketing a bank short sale deserves the same attention as any other home ! Why not ?

Southwest Florida Cape Coral, Fort Myers Florida real estate market February 2010. So you are thinking about selling your home in southwest Florida? Well let me start by saying, When I am talking to Sellers about putting there home on the market for sale two main points the Seller's want to know is what do you think my home is worth? Will the bank work with me on the selling price? and what are you going to do to sell my home?

Let's start with what is the number one reason, why homes do not sell ? Price ! It is all about Pricing it correctly from the start ! The main reason homes are placed on the market at to high of a price is because the Sellers have not lost their emotional attachment to their home.

Selling your home in today's real estate market can be described as it is only worth what the home will appraise for and what the buyers are willing to pay for it . Your lender understands this as they loan money to buyers for purchasing homes. Banks understand it's only worth what the current market will bear ! They just don't tell you they know that your home is worth much less today then what you owe on it . Today in 2010 It's very competitive real estate market, Just look around, the bank foreclosures and bank short sales are setting the price values all around the country and southwest Florida is no different !

Regardless of what you payed for it from 2002 till 2010 you are more then likely upside down as far as what you owe on your property compared to the current local prices. The bank short sale process is a way to avoid foreclosure with the fastest way to returning your credit score back to where it probbly was just a couple of years ago.

You have to want to get rid of the home regardless of how long you have owned it, how many improvements you have made, how much nicer your home is then any other homes on the street if you want to adviod foreclosure. Today's current real estate values are rolled back almost 10 year ago levels and in some areas such as Cape Coral Florida and Lehigh Acres Florida where the market prices are even lower as they are driven by the supply of foreclosures and short sales homes currently on the market.

Your emotional attachment will play a huge roll in your ability to sell your home. It's a Buyers Market They hold "All the Keys " to you selling your home! But Pricing it correctly, Staging the Home, Displaying Great Curb or Waterfront Appeal, will make your home stand out in a crowd ! Even if its a bank short sale or foreclosure !

Just because it's a pre-foreclosure and listed as a bank short sale dose not mean this should be any different ! My approach is list it just like any other listing ! It's all about marketing the home well with several interior and exterior pictures! Let the pictures tell the story! People become interested online in your home buyers mnay time buy with their Eyes without even being here to preview your home !

Then we need to reach out to as many home buyers as possible, having a "Strong Internet Marketing Program" with search engine results in your local neighborhood and your City will help you get the exposure to home buyers near and far! This type of exposure these days is needed to help you sell your home.

I feature several websites and real estate blos that all have access to the multi listing service and fucus on selling the Florida lifestyle for attracting Home Buyers to my listings and my real estate services. Check them out a couple for yourself at www.Joeknowscapecoral.com or www.Joekendall.listingbook.com

It's not about if the Realtor works for a national real estate franchise, or the largest real estate office, or the company that runs the largest advertisement in the Local Newspaper. It's all about THE MARKETING SKILLS of the Realtor, THE EXPERINCE IN SUCCESSFULLY CLOSING BANK SHORT SALES and the Realtors ability to attract home buyers here in the United States and around the Globe to Southwest Florida.

Southwest Florida is a International real estate market with people from around the world looking for a vacation home. Southwest Florida has some of the very best attractions and now some of the best home prices in the Country! Trying to avoid foreclosure is a serious nature and the extra marketing steps can be the difference in finding the right buyer. Marketing the southwest Florida lifestyle can be just as important as the details of your home listing.

Please call me today and lets discuss your options in regards to a bank short sale. Every persons situation is different so lets talk and let me explain the process in detail and I will tell you if I can help you avoid foreclosure !

I look forward to talking to you.

Gated Golf Communities in Bonita Springs Florida * Furnished Turnkey !

Bonita Springs Florida real estate. I was out last week with clients looking at Golf Course Condos in Gated Communities in southwest Florida. We previewed several ones in Fort Myers at Gated Communities including a few that where bank owned and a couple of Bank Short Sale properties.

We then headed to Bonita Springs Florida where this featured condo was my personal favoriate. I thought I would share with all my blog readers. This unit is around 1,100 square feet, with vaulted ceilings it comes completely furnished turn key including all the way down to the silverware ! All you have to bring is your golf clubs and your tooth brush ! This one was listed for $145,000 and I thought this was a real good buy considering the great water view from the screened Lanai !
