Marco Island - Just Around the Corner from Fort Myers and Cape Coral

We just returned from a relaxing Labor Day weekend at Marco Island's Marriott Resort. As you can see the view from our 10th floor ocean front room was amazing!

Marco Island Beach View

I can see why so many snowbirds are "flocking" to the sunny Gulf Coast of Florida for their second home. With so much to do and the incredible sunny weather, it is a popular and welcome retreat from the cold.

Marco Island is just one of many beautiful and scenic places you will want to visit when you move here.

If you need a place to stay while searching for your Fort Myers or Cape Coral home, call the Sales Director for The Courtyard Marriott in Fort Myers (239) 275-8600 and tell her Shane and Joy Goushaw sent you!

Signs the Florida and Fort Myers Real Estate Market is Improving

Shane and I are always trying to stay as up to date as we can on current Florida and Fort Myers Real Estate trends. Below is an article that I found pretty encouraging from NAR (National Association of Realtors) specifically stating four reasons why the Real Estate Market in Florida and in other areas of the nation is recuperating. We are not out of the woods just yet, but we are seeing more and more buyers in Fort Myers consuming the inventory of homes that are on the market and that is a positive sign.

"The housing market appears to be recuperating from a three-year bloodbath. Home prices rose in 18 of the 20 cities tracked by the S&P/Case-Shiller index from May to June. Month-to-month comparisons can be unreliable and overall prices are about where they were in early 2003. Still, "The numbers are telling us prices may have already hit bottom," says Patrick Newport, economist at IHS Global Insight. That helps by producing:

· More consumer spending. Rising home prices give homeowners more confidence to spend. They tend to tighten their belts if they owe the bank more than their house is worth.

"Everyone is very cautious, and there is instability in employment," says Jackie Williams, a real estate broker in Middletown, Conn. "But people will spend if (their home is worth) a reasonable price. Consumer confidence will build a little."

· More buyers moving into the housing market. Rising prices may nudge more potential homebuyers off the fence. Ryan Burns and his wife are renters in Bellingham, Wash., now, and their lease is almost up. "We were considering extending our lease another six to 12 months in order to pack away a larger downpayment," Burns says. "But if prices are on the rise, we might just speed up our search."

· Fewer toxic assets on the books for banks. Rising home prices are an elixir for banks stricken with questionable mortgage loans and foreclosed property. "It improves the balance sheet of the bank. That will hasten the end of the credit crunch," says Joel Naroff, of Naroff Economic Advisors. "Do I think it will happen very fast? No."

As always, we are available to assist with all of your Fort Myers & Cape Coral Real Estate needs! Please call Shane at: 239-823-5280
