I did a home inspection on Sanibel Island last week. The island is just beautiful...very tropical, casual, and not a street light on the entire island. The Bouganvilla are in full bloom and I just had to stop and photograph one of them. Then, a few days later, I ventured to the other side of the island and went all the way to Captiva Island. It's just as beautiful as Sanibel and the wildflowers were in bloom right on the beach. If you're ever in SW Florida, I'd highly recommend taking a day and touring Sanibel and Captiva Island.

The last couple of weeks we have seen interest rates for long term loans or 30 year mortgages rising slightly to an average of 5.21%, which was the highest since mid-august. As of this week  it went back to 5.07%, a very desirable rate which will of course help buyers. This is according to Freddie Mac. This makes it even more appealing for buyers in Southwest Florida.       The lowest was in December 2009 when we saw rates of 4.87% which was just unthinkable a few months before. rates for a 15 year fix is as of this week  at 4.40%, a drop of .12% compare to last week. be aware that lenders will make money regardless of the so called " no point loans". On average fees are .6% of the total loan for a 30 year fix and  .5% for a 15 year fix. Good time to buy? Certainly. South West Florida w...

Hello folks, Spent this morning on Sanibel Island with MANY other people. The beach was swamped with people ..... more than I've ever seen before, BUT this makes sense because today was the first very nice day for the past two weeks.   Below is a view looking down the Sanibel River. Sanibel Island has a fresh water river (creek) which flows along the middle of the island. The water flow is extremely slow. This is extremely unusual for a barrier island to have it's own fresh water stream. Hope you have enjoyed todays photos.

These 5 properties in Sanibel island stand out. A few are in the low to mid $400k up to one at 509 Lagoon at an asking price of $725,000. These Sanibel homes are either a walking distance to the beach or are on a lake or gulf access canal...and of course their asking price.   509 Lagoon is a short sale.  Countrywide!   $660K could do it. Gulf access canal. Good looking "modern" classical Florida island home. Ask me about what the deal is with this Lender and this home. Its positive.                                           Lagoon home   753 Cardium. I picked first because of the price. $467,400.  .3 mile to the beach. Regular Sale. The odd number or the asking price tells me that there is not a lot of room for negotiating but who knows for sure? I have some added information regarding ...
