13 novembre Fort Myers Beach Events 2009-2010: Golf Tournament and Boat Parade & moreUpcoming Events 2009-2010: Fort Myers Beach FLThis Calendar was made possible by the Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce. Some of the events will interest visitors and residents alike, as the Saturday 5th 22nd Fort Myers Beach Annual Christmas Boat Parade which I have witnessed quite a few times and which is a fun even of lights, imagination and whimsical celebration. Some others maybe a big snooze as the Traffic community Meeting of Nov 19th, though highly important. For these who have never been to our Fort Myers Beach town meetings, I cannot promise high entertainment during these at times painful events, but they do offer invaluable information about our town and at times it may amuse or surprise you. One thing is sure:this year we do have a solid mayor and vice mayor and the amount of work done by our councilmen (one councilwoman) is quite commendable when you consider the modest pay.
For you golfers I would recommend the Jan 16th 2010 Fort Myers Beach Golf Tournament, which course was completely updated with great success in the last couple of years. Its a short course, affordable and a great way to work on your 3 or 4 woods,short irons and of course short game. Lots of fun and it does not take 4 hours to complete. Great way to meet people and mix it up with the locals.
I have never been to the annual decorating event but I think my wife would enjoy it and I might learn a few tips on how to match my clothes. I am guessing there would be quite a lot of local flavor. Great way to talk with our residents.

12 novembre Southwest Florida Beaches are timeless
Southwest Florida is well known for its miles of white sand. It is part of our life style, our culture and many come to the beaches of Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel,Captiva, Bonita Springs and Naples for many different reason. Being a resident of Fort Myers Beach, you would except that I would pick its beach as one of my favorites. You are right. Not only it is one of the safest beaches in Florida but they allow dogs. The beach is seven miles long.
Perhaps the attractions is that one may be at a restaurant, a bar, Parasail or ski jet or play volley ball at Fort Myers Beach and enjoy the scenery and take a dip. There is a lot to do. You can go to the North End or Lover’s Key Beach if you want more relaxing calming surroundings. Fort Myers Beach Memorial Day Sections towards the northern part of the island were renourished in the summer of 2009 and indeed it looks good. The pier located just towards downtown Fort Myers Beach is also a great fishing spot and you may enjoy the view from a few restaurants smack on the gulf side. Another favorite is a bit out of the way at Sanibel Bowman’s Beach. Sanibel is well known for its green philosophy and if you want to enjoy nature at its most bare and untouched then this beach is for you. Bowman's Beach (blog)
Bonita Beach Park is also a winner.Except for the dog restriction it is also a favorite. Very well kept and recently renovated it goes for miles and miles both on both side and towards Little Hickory Island on the North.
One cannot forget Naples Lowdermilk Beach and Naples beaches in general. It was nourished in the late 90’s. From Gordon Pass on the south to Seagate Drive on the North you will enjoy 10 miles of high quality beaches. I always preferred the area towards the south and Gordon pass for its tranquility. No dogs allowed. You may bike or walk from downtown Naples or Old Naples to the shore. The quality of the sand dropped when it was renourished and widen but luckily after a few years it is back to its beautiful state and fine sugary white sand. A top beach. The pier is a favorite meeting and fishing place. Naples plans some more renourishment in the near future.

LLoyd Nichols 1 novembre Short Sales and Foreclosures are not necessarily the best dealsMy area of Lee County, covers cities among others such as Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Pine Island and we know foreclosures and short sales. After all we are one of the counties with the highest percentage of Bank owned properties. In the last year, as the average price of a home in Cape Coral and Fort Myers was pulled down by the flooding of short sales and foreclosures, we have seen of course, terrific deals for buyers, including auctions. Many Real Estate Agents including myself have been able to offer great opportunities to their clients but don’t be misled. The deals are still here, but the difference between conventional traditional sales and bank owned properties or short sales is not always what is seems. First of all most great foreclosures sale way beyond the asking price so make sure that your agent makes a detailed CMA and shows you in clack and white why this home is such a great purchase. Lee County Short sales and Lee County foreclosures are sold “AS IS”. There is no negotiating for repairs unless you are doing an FHA loan. The FHA will impose certain standards which have to be fixed if not in proper condition. Even though some banks are slowly improving the condition of their properties, many do not have such basic items as washers and dryers, AC in good condition and pool condition including the pool equipment may be in need of repair or replacement. A good portion of short sales have been sitting during the wet months of summers without AC, which would attract mold. There are times when Short Sales lender will negotiate $500 to $1000 for repairs but that is pretty rare. Last, a conventional sale maybe $25,000 less,the asking price anyway, but that home was better maintained and who knows how much the sellers are willing to negotiate? Depends how much they paid for it, how much is their mortgage and when they bought it. So when you add all these factors, not to mention better landscaping, the $25,000 for example, are quickly disappearing. So yes, short sales and foreclosures can be great deals, and there are many true interesting opportunities, but look also at conventional sales and work closely with your agent. and Happy Hunting! 27 octobre Deals du Jour: Fort Myers Beach Gulf Front ForeclosuresFort Myers Beach foreclosures are rare.

4 août Fort Myers Beach information, history and homes
Welcome to our tropical island. Fort Myers Beach is a barrier island located in Lee County. Technically the community of Fort Myers Beach includes Estero, the larger 7 mile island and the smaller sister island called San Carlos. It is a well known island located south of Sanibel island and north of Bonita Springs and some 26 miles to Downtown Naples.
Fort Myers Beach island flavors
It main features is obviously its beach which is also 7 mile long and is known to be the Florida safest beach, at least it is one of the safest. its numerous canals splitting dozens of streets in its width in to the back bay or Estero Bay, its fishing which tradition goes back over 2000 years ago when the Calusa Indians: History of the Calusa Indians controlled a large part of southwest Florida, its many bars,  Smokin' Oyster Brewery (S.O.B.) a local bar with good foodrestaurants, bistros and shops which all have that island touch, and its vibrant artistic community. It also has an outgoing center in downtown near the pier. Downtown FMB . Yes we are going through the Dog days of summer but I am glad we are part of this small community. I was also glad to see that my home appreciated 2.5% in the last 30 days. The deals are still here but these interested Fort Myers Beach Real Estate better move sooner then later. Either way, come and visit us and welcome to our tropical island. LLoyd Nichols
