Paradise in Southwest Florida Awaits You!

Have you ever thought that you might want to move to Florida? If you have considered purchasing a new home, condominium, vacant lot or any other type of Florida real estate make sure you look into Southwest Florida. The Florida Gulf Coast from Sarasota down to Punta Gorda is one of the best areas in FL to live. If you enjoy big city living, then check out Jacksonville or Miami as they might be better suited to your tastes. If you enjoy a more relaxed way of life, one that’s not spent in traffic jams or in hour long lines waiting to get into a restaurant, then the beautiful cities of Englewood, Port Charlotte, North Port and Venice are just the place. The Gulf Coast of Florida offers nearly any amenity you can imagine, with a beautiful blue ocean and gorgeous white sandy beaches. There are many terrific areas to live here, and if you like fishing, boating, sunbathing, shopping, dining, entertainment, and endless things to do, then you have come to the right place.

The West coast of Fla is much less populated than the East coast. There is less of the hustle and bustle here as well as a significantly lower crime rate. This area is old Florida at its best. The weather here is absolutely perfect, with the average daily high temperatures in the winter of 72 degrees and very little precipitation. The summers are a little warm, usually in the upper 80’s every day, but the summer thunderstorms along with gentle gulf breezes keep these summertime temperatures more than tolerable.

Florida property values are much more reasonable on the West coast of Fla than on the Atlantic side. The type and size of home that can be purchased here in Englewood FL or Port Charlotte FL will be much nicer than a comparable home in many areas on the East coast. These prices have risen sharply over the last few years, but are still very low when compared to many other areas of Florida. Recently due to pullback in the Florida Real Estate market, we have even seen a decline in Florida realty prices. With the coming arrival of the retiring baby boomers in the next few years and the current dip in prices the time to buy has rarely been better. Act quickly, because is seems that the Englewood Florida Real Estate market and surrounding areas have recently been “discovered” and people are realizing what a true “Gem of the Suncoast” this place really is. Give us a call today and find out how to get your very own piece of Port Charlotte Real Estate, Englewood FL Real Estate, North Port Real Estate or Venice FL Real Estate.

Jason Painter's State Of The Market, Spring 2007

As I sit here writing this article, it is late January and we are in surprising cold snap. This cold snap is a change from what so far has been a very mild winter. The eastern half of the nation in particular has experienced a very warm winter, possibly one of the warmest on record. What does this have to do with real estate you may ask? Well, quite a bit actually…read on!

Usually in January when it’s freezing up north, people flock to Southwest Florida to escape the cold and dreary weather. This year has been a little different, although the weather up north is not up to par with what Floridian’s experience, its still not as bad as it normally is. This has translated in some folks not feeling the need to visit Florida this year. Since the weather isn’t horrible, “just tough it out till spring” is what are on many peoples minds.

This has created for the first time in years a period when Florida might experience a year over year decline in winter visitors. This decline in winter visitors have brought with it a decline in the usual boom in real estate sales that normally occurs this time of year.

As usual with my State of the Market addresses, I will examine the factors affecting property values in the area; both good and bad.

Another Builder Goes Bad

Investors left with partially completed homes or empty lots are accusing a home builder of charging inflated prices for homes and property and accusing blaming Bradenton-based Coast Bank of failing to keep track of the builder's progress.

The investors owe money for loans arranged through a packaged deal with Construction Compliance Inc. of St. Petersburg and Coast Bank. Last week Coast notified investors a developer said it could not complete work on 482 homes for which the bank had loaned lent $110 million to build.

CCI appears to have closed its Beach Drive office in St. Petersburg and Coast Bank officials say they are investigating the status of each of the loans for homes concentrated in the North Port area in southern Sarasota County and in northern Charlotte County.

Coast Bank officials didn't return calls for comments Tuesday. Rick Denmon with Carlton Fields in Tampa, who is representing Coast Bank, declined to comment on the case.

New Jersey investor George Tannous admits he should have known better than to put money into a real estate deal without fully researching the details. But it appeared so lucrative and simple that he overrode years of business experience and tossed in $5,000.

The deal was this: With Tannous' deposit, a home builder pledged to buy a lot in booming North Port, build a home, sell it, and send Tannous 10 percent of the gross proceeds, which he figured might amount to $25,000.

Real Estate Seminars - Buyer Beware

Today marks the second time in the last three days that I have been asked about real estate investing seminars. It seems that some unscrupulous builders are hiring marketing firms to create seminars for real estate investors. These seminars paint a picture of exploding growth in Port Charlotte Real Estate, which nearly every Florida Realtor would agree is in a slump. These seminars aren’t local; they are given to investors well out of the area, in these two cases, one in Ireland, the other in North Carolina.

During these seminars, the marketing firms tell you how much money can be made by purchasing one of their criminally overpriced pre constructions. It seems that there are some great incentives such as 2 years no interest and 2 years no payments.

You have to ask yourself, if it is such a great deal, then why are these guys coming all the way to Ireland to peddle their properties? It would seem that if they were truly giving great deals like they are letting on, local investors would beat a path to their door.

The moral of the story is this, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Remember folks, every reputable builder in this area welcomes clients and their Realtors. You will get the same price on the home if you have a Realtor or not. So why not use a Realtor that is knowledgeable in preconstruction to help you choose the right builder? You can only gain by his or her expertise and have nothing to lose! If you need help deciphering whether or not you are getting a good deal on a preconstruction, feel free to contact us and we will be happy give you our honest opinion!
