$45,000 for 3/2 with Den 1,458 sq. ft built in 2006…SERIOUSLY

$45,000 for 3/2 with Den 1,458 sq. ft built in 2006...SERIOUSLY

For those of you who are unaware about the opportunities in this market...I might open your eyeballs a bit.  You've been warned.  Yes, it's a foreclosure.  Yes, it doesn't have appliances.  Who cares???  As an agent, it is even shocking to me to see houses going for $30 per square foot. 

No one can foresee the future (ok Nostradamus, we'll see how good you are in 2012!), but it is hard to believe values can get much lower than this.  With housing so affordable in Southwest Florida, I am seeing people make life decisions based on the opportunity.  The couple who put a contract on this house will:

• not have a mortgage to worry about
• live in SWFL, one of the most beautiful places in the country
• only have to pay property taxes and utilities (instead of possibly renting and paying a landlord)

I find that many people in other area's of the country are unaware of the opportunity in SWFL.  As I was watching HGTV last night, I was thinking how shocking it would be to have the cameras follow me around with a $50,000 cash buyer.  I have a feeling many folks up north would start considering sunny SWFL.

Gateway Foreclosures – $119,900 STEAL in Bristol Parc Fort Myers

Gateway Foreclosures - $119,900 STEAL in Bristol Parc Fort Myers

A property I toured today is so HOT, that I felt the need to share.  Gateway foreclosures are still popping up, and this is one of the best deals I've seen so far.  This home is part of the Homesteps program from Freddie Mac.  They look to get rid of the stigma that foreclosures are always beat up highly "distressed" properties.  Check out the video of the home that just hit the market for $119,000 in Bristol Parc in Gateway near the airport in Fort Myers.

 

Not only does Freddie Mac completely paint the home with fresh paint, but they also install brand new carpet the entire house and slap on a 2 year warranty on anything major.  They warranty your air conditioner, water heater, appliances, etc.  For the first time home buyer, you really cannot beat this opportunity.  The first time home buyer tax credit makes Gateway Foreclosures even more affordable.  The extremely low price and the home warranty both give you peace of mind that you are not going to break the budget by purchasing this home. 

I can almost guarantee that this property will move fast. If you are looking for other Gateway Foreclosures, you can contact me directly using the information provided below.  I can inform you of new Gateway Foreclosures as they hit the market.  Like I mentioned, this just hit the market today and will be gone fast!  My job is to get you deals like this.

You can view this property by using the Fort Myers MLS or if you want to search all of the properties available on Fort Myers MLS you can do so too.

The Heck with Foreclosures and Short Sales, I’m Building in Plantation in Fort Myers

"The Heck with Foreclosures and Short Sales, I'm Building a Home in Plantation in Fort Myers."  These were the words of a good friend of mine.  I have to admit, being a Realtor, I was quite shocked by his statement. 

For the price, you just cannot beat purchasing a Foreclosure or a Short Sale, but some people are giving up on the chance to save.  When I spoke to him in depth about his decision, he commented that most of the distressed properties were badly abused and dealing with the banks was not worth the hassle.
