Monterrey a diamond in Cape Marco
-
Recently I shared the positive news on sales in Cape Marco through April 30, 2009. Cape Marco is a shining star for real estate on Marco Island Florida. The six buildings offer a variety of amenities and have a nice selection among the different price ranges beginning at $599,000.
One building has achieved very positive results this year and is worthy of your consideration. The Monterrey has already closed three sales in 2009, compared to five in all of 2008. Additionally Monterrey has three more units under contract (pending). The success is driven by the excellent location, beautiful amenities and value relative to the Cape Marco development. To illustrate the average selling price for Cape Marco in 2008 was approximately $1.5 million. The average selling price for the Monterrey building was approximately $830,000. It's a great place and definitely worth a look when you visit Marco Island.Labels: luxury, Marco Island, real estate

Let's not forget the fundamentals
- Wednesday, May 13, 2009
Open any newspaper or go online and you will see numerous ads focused on buying distressed, bank owned (REO's) and short sale properties. Buy it cheap is the common theme and you can find it all over the place.
Well just because it's cheap doesn't mean it is any good in the first place. There is a big difference between getting a great value and getting something for little cost. Little cost often means little or no value and then hoping something changes in the future to create more value. Getting a great value means that a property with a good location, quality of building and consumer demand in the marketplace, was obtained at a fair or reasonable cost.
In real estate value is driven by location, quality of the building and consumer demand. These are the fundamental factors to consider before you even address the cost factor. By starting out with a focus on cost, buyers often overlook the critical location and quality of building factors in the decision process. Cheap becomes the number one factor and most often you get what you pay for. Think fundaments first and you will be much happier in the long run.Labels: real estate
Trade Up, Trade Down
-
Many customers have expressed an interest in trading up from their existing property or trading down and getting cash out of their current property. The trade up trend is coming from people who realize the current market prices and mortgage interest rates make obtaining their dream home more affordable than any recent time. The trade down trend is driven by folks who have been negatively impacted by the stock market and are seeking a means to funds which will help them through these financial times.
What is very interesting is that I am not meeting anyone who is looking to sell their home, cash out and leave. This really speaks to what a wonderful place Marco Island truely is. It is a great location, with terrific properties and has excellent long term value!Labels: real estate
Cape Marco is off to a good start
- Sunday, May 10, 2009
With all the difficult financial and real estate news we have read and listened too, I would like to call your attention to a bright spot. Cape Marco is a private gated waterfront community of six different condo buildings on the southern tip of Marco Island Florida. Construction began in the early 1990's and was completed on the last building in 2005. Magnificant views of the Gulf of Mexico, privacy and excellent amenities are among the key attractions. Recent sales prices have ranged from $799,000 to $1,800,000.
The closed sales results for the period 1/1/09 to 4/30/09 were very encouraging. Compared to prior year same timeframe the number of transactions have increased 14%, total dollars sold were up 24%, the average sales price had increased 8% and the median sales price was up 20%. All very encouraging news. This information was compiled from the Marco Area MLS. Results are not guaranteed, as accurate results depend on timely and accurate data entry.
