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, Summer 2006

As typical with most summertime seasons, the real estate market in Englewood, Port Charlotte, North Port and surrounding areas have slowed down. The “high season” in Southwest Florida is in the winter, usually from November to March. This is the time when our population is greatest. Our seasonal residents make the most out of the terrific winters here during those months. The summer months or “low season” is usually slower with less going on with regard to real estate and general economic activity.

Even though a slow real estate market is expected in the summer season, this summer’s market has been much slower than normal. Partially this is because of the previous four years worth of spectacular activity, which has spoiled many of us in the real estate market. Now that we are back to a “normal market,” we feel as if the market has shut down.
The reason for the real estate slowdown in Southwest Florida is five-fold.

Sarasota County Tax Break

SARASOTA -- Sarasota County taxpayers got some good news Wednesday thanks to rising property values.

County commissioners agreed to reduce the millage rate by .40 mill for the coming fiscal year.

The action came as an amendment to an initial resolution to reduce the rate by only .25 mill.

The initial reduction would have resulted in a so-called aggregate millage of 3.8439 for the coming year, opposed to the 4.0939 for the current year. Reducing the millage by .40 brought that amount down to 3.6939.

A mill equals $1 per $1,000 of assessed property value. This means the owner of a home assessed at $125,000 with a $25,000 homestead exemption would pay about $370 in property taxes with the new rate.

This tax money is used for the General Fund, the Transportation Fund, Environmentally Sensitive Land Acquisition Funds, Debt Service Funds, the Sarasota County Mosquito Management Fund and various countywide districts.

Charlotte County to reduce tax rate

County to reduce tax rate

Charlotte County commissioners Tuesday agreed to reduce the countywide property tax rate by 0.28 mills as a "gesture" to taxpayers that further cuts can be expected by September.

The millage reduction was the commission's initial response to a 50 percent increase in the county's taxable value, which would generate $42 million more in anticipated revenues if tax rates remained the same.

The reductions authorized Tuesday slashed 0.25 mills from the general fund and 0.03 from the public health levies, lowering the countywide millage rate from 5.3709 to 4.0909.

Commissioners also trimmed the public safety unit millage rate -- assessed to all county taxpayers but Punta Gorda landowners -- by 0.35 from 1.8524 mills to 1.5024.
