Number of Buyers are Increasing - Wednesday, October 14, 2009

During the last couple of weeks I have experienced an strong increase in the number of people expressing an interest in buying property on Marco Island. This includes phone calls, emails and people coming to open house events. These people are very excited about the opportunity at hand.

In speaking with them to understand what is driving the increase, it is interesting to learn that there is no one driving factor. It's a combination of things which is leading to action on their part. These factors include: natural beauty and relaxation on Marco Island, improved economic outlook for the country, excellent values available due to aggressive pricing, low mortgage rates being offered and currency strength of the Canadian Dollar, Pound and Euro relative to the US Dollar (they can buy more for their buck) for foreign nationals. These factors when combined are driving an increase in potential buyers.

Based on the early signs we are going to experience a busy season for real estate on Marco Island.

Island Buzz - Saturday, October 10, 2009

One of the most exciting times on Marco Island is the arrival of our seasonal guests. Each year the locals look forward to old friends coming back and the smiles on the faces of first time visitors.

You might be surprised at what many consider to be one of the first signs of their arrival. It's the big semi trailers which deliver cars. That's right car carriers. First the cars get shipped down and then the people follow... It's funny to see a big semi trailer truck stopped on Collier Blvd. unloading car after car.

One of the "hot" discussion topics this year is that many of our seasonal guests are coming down sooner. Most of the folks arrived in January last year. October seems to be the timing a large number of people have selected this year. It would appear the financial crisis and recession delayed the arrival of many last year. This season seems to have more of traditional start. It's great people are arriving sooner because October is one of the nicest months to enjoy the weather here on Marco Island.

It's good to see the smiling faces and those semi trucks again! Welcome back everyone...

New Web Cam on Marco Island- It's Free - Thursday, October 8, 2009

I am excited to announce that my web site www.paradisegulfcoast.com has launched a link to a free web cam on Marco Island. The link is called "Free Marco Island Web Cam" and it's highlighted on my site. Please note you will have to install Java if it is not already on your computer to view the picture. The view faces southeast and includes live pictures of the Gulf of Mexico and Ten Thousand Islands.

This is a great opportunity to see what's happening on Marco Island even if you can't physically be here. Enjoy!
