Lee County, Florida Property Taxes <!-- body,td,th { font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; color: #003399; } --> If you own property in Lee County, Florida you should have received your new trim notice. If you do you would have noticed a pretty significant decrease in your taxes. I think the biggest reductions are on vacant land. FYI, vacant land in Cape Coral maxed out in 2005 about $90-100,000 & decreased in 2006/2007 to about $25,000 for the same lot worth $100,000 then. Mind you, vacant land in Cape Coral had values of $1,000-5,000 from the early 80s up until about 2002 when we watched them steadily increase up to those highs in 2005. Here's a couple of samples:   Vacant lot - Cape Coral Last year valued at $72,000 Taxes $1,292.43 This year valued...

         Joe Kendall Realtor with Sandals Realty a Waterfront and Foreclosure Specialist writes, Home owners should always look at all options before losing their home back to the bank from a hardship, maybe it's a health issue or a work related/financial problem. I have several years of experience in dealing in Pre-foreclosures and short sales in Michigan and Florida. The future could get even harder to buy a home with possible higher interest rates as the Sub Prime Mortgage Market continues to tighten their restrictions. This should give you even more motivation to keep your house! Save your credit and get out of your situation the best you can.  I can help you with the questions to ask your bank?

My suggestion to the looming mortgage problems.....is seller financing.Why? Soon many would-be home buyers will not be able to obtain financing to buy a house. Lenders are tightening up as investors are being more cautious with lending.Would be home buyers will either be renting or buying with seller financing.There are many options to seller financing.You could offer part or all (depending upon your current mortgage) of the financing to the buyer.You could offer to sell the home on a lease option or lease purchase. This could assist the buyer into fixing up their dinged credit, earning more income, saving a substantial down payment etc. in the next year or two. Then they'll hopefully be qualified for a decent loan program.If you have a property to sell & you would consider seller finan...

That's right folks... can you believe it??? Cape Coral Homes Under $140,000 Yesterday I met with a real estate investor here in Cape Coral to go and look at single family homes for under $140,000.  To my amazement there were actually quite a few on the market.  One home was bank owned and was only $139,500... WOW...  With the number of foreclosures, short sales, and bank owned properties increasing on a daily basis here in Southwest Florida there truly are some amazing deals to be found. This particular home was not a short sale either.  With the great number of short sales on the market they are some amazing deals, but this particular investor wasn't looking for that type of real estate, so we weren't looking at them. This home was basically move in condition.  It did need a new stove,...

One of the major attraction of living in Cape Coral is living near a boat ramp, being on fresh water and of course having a home with gulf access, either on canal or smack on the river.These days with the market adjusting, owning a single home on a gulf access canal is much more affordable. Waterfront properties in cape Coral are a way of life. It is an exciting time for these of you who are looking for that dream home in South West Florida but do not want to be taken to the cleaners, and still, want a quality home in a great location.  The choices varies tremendously.One thing for sure: there are 489 Active single homes under $500,000 with gulf access in Cape Coral as of August 2, 2007 listed on the MLS. A terrific choice.The prices range from:   $327,500 but I saw that home and would ...

Cape Coral Market report of single homes sold between July 1, 2007 and July 31,2007- The ideal price to sell would be between $180,000 and $299,000 taking from 81 days to 105 to sell. Not such a long time considering its a buyers market.What does it mean? Sellers have adjusted their prices and that is the only way to sell in the Lee County market.Granted you ask the right price and work with the right Realtor in Cape Coral your home will sell in a decent amount of time. This is also a word of caution to these famous buyers who are staying on the fence.If they do see a property which they would like  to buy, they "cannot" wait that long. Cape Coral beach    Summary Price InformationMinimum $127,500Maximum $1,650,000Average $269,031Median $234,000SoldSelling Price Range Quantity     Avera...

  Joe Kendall with Sandals Realty writes, I received a call yesterday from a gentelman in upstate New York Area, he was asking me . What is the best Value for my money to buy and hold for a couple years? I am going to use the home as a vacation/ second home while I do some updating and enjoy the home, so when I retire in a couple of years and move to southwest Florida, I have a home to keep or resell and get something better in the future? This day and age I told him, your best value could be just about any type of home as long as you do a little home work and make the right offer! But if it was me, if your asking my thoughts? Past history and the current market today shows the best value is being located on the widest, best access and the best water view for the money!

Although some do need it more than others...  TLC, the "TenderLoving" Care Complex is located in Cape Coral, Florida.  TLC was incorporated as a Not for Profit Organization in 1995 by the founder and executive director, Sherry Magness.  The "TenderLoving" Care Complex is a Christian Foster Care Home program designed to wrap its arms around hurting children and their families.  Much of the work that TLC does is spread through word of mouth and numerous families in the community have been helped by volunteer foster families, mentors and the funds that have been raised to provide food and clothing for the children.  On July 28, 2007 TLC installed their new board members for 2007.  Among the members of the board is my husband Shane Goushaw standing tall and handsome, with the goatee and bro...

When you go to vote in the Presidential primary to choose who will run our great nation... there will also be another vote that is just as important.  This vote will be for the new Super Homestead ExemptionNew Tax Plan... JUST SAY NO !!! Just say NO to the new tax plan on the superhomestead exemtion.  This amendment will steal millions of dollars from our school systems (Thats right... there is no exemption for schools), local goverments, and state government. This plan is an attempt to correct the present 3% cap on property tax increases on real property that are presently homestead exempt. So with the new and flashy homestead exemption you will pay a significant amount less.  For example my taxes would be reduced from approximately $3600.00 to approximately $1200.00.  So at first glan...
