Sanibel island homes under $500,000, Captiva from $280K and up

The deals are still available in Sanibel, however there used to be more homes available even under $300,000 only a few months ago. The good news? Its till very affordable for such a glorious island where 2/3 of the land is protected. Sanibel homes under $500,000

I have looked at the listings and the market lately and it is clear that if you are serious about purchasing a  Sanibel home or  in Captiva, again I will say it clearly: its the time! Remember that these homes are bough for over 60 cents or less  on the dollar compare to 2005-2006, granted they were inflated in these days, but the deals are here to be taken.Signs show that the asking prices are slowly stabilizing. 

Captiva , still has a few very exciting deals starting at $280,000 up to under $700,000. Captiva homes from $325K and up 

The one at an asking price of $325, 000, at 190 White Pelican dr,Captiva   even though a cottage of 876 square feet got my attention. It offers much more then I first thought. Great possibilities to expand or just enjoy it as an island retreat or your own home!

Its located a short walk to the beach in North Captiva which you can reach only by boat.They do have “boat taxis” available form Sanibel.

The total square footage is over 2,000 with a large deck and well designed pilings Sanibel home. I am sure one could make it bigger pretty easily if need be. Either way its a great deal. For more information give me abuzz on my cell listed below or e-mail me at realtorlloydn@aol.com. This home has also a fireplace and a bar. A great buy close to the Gulf of Mexico.

Short Tour Of Sanibel and fantastic property opportunities

   There are few islands in Florida which can compare to Sanibel. These of you who have visited the well known barrier island did not forget the 15 miles of pristine beaches,and among others these beauties:

The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge J.N."Ding" Darling, and the

 Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation  SCCF

 

  Sanibel 2009-08-01 036     Sanibel 2009-08-01 037  

Two third of this magnificent island is protected so its not a surprise that Sanibel’s residents do not want to embrace the XXIst century like other areas of South West Florida and run their own affairs as a separate identity and community. Don’t be fooled by the idyllic and romantic physical aspect of the island. It is very modern but it is above all a “green” advocate. Not to mention great shelling, fishing, or using the over 4 miles and a half of trails along 1800 preserved acres.

    Sanibel 2009-08-01 055      Sanibel 2009-08-01 051

The residents of this island will do anything possible to preserve its natural habitat and will not stand for anything that disturbs it. Objectively, there have been some draw back to so much attention. ( continuing below the picture of the Old Post Office)

                    Sanibel Ibis         Sanibel Pelican

            There are over 200 different bird species in Sanibel. Above an Ibis and a Pelican.

 For these of you who want something else besides life around the beaches or boating, you will also enjoy some of the more artistic activities, whether you prefer the visual arts, dancing ,the theater or a good jazz concert at the Big Arts. You have the choice.Want some history and learn about Sanibel past? You may also get a kick out of the  Sanibel Historical  Museum and Village  Sanibel Museum 

and tour some of well conserved private and  public buildings in the center of the Sanibel Village.

As it became one of the most renowned islands in the USA, the days when it was a small community when a fisherman could afford to live there are gone. It is still a rather small community but beauty

and quality of life comes with a price. Luckily, it is, these days, much more affordable and there are some great opportunities in Sanibel Real Estate.

Talking about Foreclosures and deals in Sanibel and Captiva

 

 

Foreclosures and deals in Sanibel and Captiva

      Once in awhile I take a closer look at Sanibel’s foreclosures.

                                          Sanibel 2009-08-01 001 Sanibel during a foggy day

  These days I have noticed a strong spike in the numbers of potential buyers looking towards Sanibel.

 

                                                             200912473

The reasons are obvious There are homes under $500,000 and there is even one under $400,000 which is a foreclosure in Upper Captiva. Its not your regular home and if someone knows About this great Island, I would move rather fast. Sanibel is one of these islands that does not want to be infested with high condos and dozen of shopping malls. No sir!

                                                              200916849 Don’t despair if they are gone by the time  you are ready to make an offer! There are other great homes under $500,000 and even in the low $400,000, and I can tell you by personal experience that these homes are quite impressive.

Sanibel Island's Bowmans Beach does not have any condos

  Located in Sanibel Florida, one of the most unique barrier islands in the country, Bowmans Beach will surprise you. There are no condos nor hotels along the beach, but you may bring your pet, use the public facilities as the shower and barbecue grills, quick back on a bench under the shade of these many

palm trees and do some some nifty sea shelling.   

         For more information about Sanibel Real Estate or properties near Bowmans Beach contact LLoyd at realtorlloydn@aol.com or at 239-810-2980
