If you’re thinking about listing your Collier, Charlotte or Lee county home for sale, it’s vital to take a look at the 2013 Florida real estate market statistics. Why? Because without verified data, you’ll find yourself clouded by opinions that can cause you to look at the market from a perspective that simply may not be true. Let’s take a look at one of the most popular myths regarding home sales:

Don’t list your home unless it’s “season.” We’re sure you’ve heard that a time or two. But what does the SW Florida home sales data actually say about this? Actually, the idea of “season” is no longer valid according to the data we have from the March 2013 Market Summary.  Here’s the breakdown:

SW Florida Real Estate Investing 101 – Making Offers That Avoid Bidding Wars

by BFRE Team on April 16, 2013

SW Florida Real Estate InvestmentNo investor wants to find themselves in the middle of a bidding war. With every counter bid you can just see your profit dwindling. Add that to the cost of renovations and improvements, and a killer deal can become a waste of time all over the course of a few phone calls. Putting together a great offer that sellers will readily accept is critical to any serious investor, especially in the SW Florida real estate investment market. Buyer conditions are ideal, but inventory is declining, –and this is exactly what spurs bidding wars in the first place.

So, what’s the answer? Making an offer that will prevent a seller from looking elsewhere is vital. Here’s how it’s done:

Real Estate Offers that Stand out From the Crowd

Own It -

Before even getting into the other parts of writing an offer, this is worth being said. You have to know the ins and outs of your particular situation. Every sale and every house on the market has its own story. There is no cookie cutter situation or one size fits all way to handle an offer. The best offers are structured to fit the needs of a specific situation. [click to continue…]

SW Florida Investment Property – Love at First Sight

All it took was one vacation to Sanibel Island for John and Linda Cox to fall in love with SW Florida. Two weeks after they returned to New Jersey the couple found themselves scanning airline deals for another Florida trip. This time it wasn’t to soak in the rays or throw a fishing line over the side of the boat, it was to view properties for their future retirement home, and they had their eye on SW Florida gated communities.

“Retiring to a gated community just made sense to us. It’s beautiful, peaceful, there’s plenty of amenities and zero upkeep. We don’t want to worry about lawn or pool maintenance. We want to wake up in the morning and decide whether we’ll be golfing, swimming or fishing. We can do that here.” [click to continue…]
