Greetings from beautiful Cape Coral, Florida! The latest numbers are out for our area sales in August and depending on your perspective the news is either good or bad! For Realtors the numbers are great because sales increased by 32% from this time last year! There were 684 sales which translates to 1368 transaction sides.

Although there are still 15,000 homes on the market it is encouraging to see the increase in sales and the decrease in inventory!  So what can we take from this?

The Cape Coral real estate market which is currently plagued by a record number of foreclosures and short sales now has affected the construction industry which employs so many in this area.  Due to the large number of these distressed properties on the market, many of them available bleow the cost of replacement has meant that it is increasingly difficult for builders to build new homes. The question I hear all the time is why would someone contract with a builder to build a home when they can buy a new never lived in home for less money than the cost of construction.  Even if the buyer really wanted to build a new home so they could have it "their way", it is next to impossible to get an appraisal to substantiate the cost of construction these days.  Banks are cutting prices substanti... 09/18/2008

In our office the client rooms have been filled daily with buyers from all over! We recently have been receiving a large number of inquiries from German and British buyers!!

Cape Coral Foreclosures dropped by 311, almost 13% in the month of August compared to July.  August saw 2,156 Cape Coral foreclosure filings and July saw 2,467 Cape Coral Foreclosures filed.  This is encouraging news as we are starting to head in the right direction.  The real question is will this trend continue.
