Selling my Florida Dream Home

Sharpie · 02-14-2005

Yeh, the place was lived in by a guy - just putting my furniture & pictures in will make a big difference. The dock is pretty bad, but I should have it looking like my dock here without anymore than pressure washing, paint and some plants. Of course, I have all my statues to add also. The place is decorated very midwestern..... it doesn't need painting, but the color of white has a real grey cast to it and doesn't do anything to brighten it up. With those ceiling, painting will be a real chore.

No, I am on freshwater... not sure I want salt - too much maintaince for the boat.

The housing boom here in Cape Coral is going to go on for awhile. There is new construction everywhere, and they still can't keep up with the demand. Actually there is more new construction than exhisting housing for sale. You get a whole lot more room in the exhisting housing than the new stuff. It is the lot prices (that are on water) that is driving a lot of it up. Places with city water & sewer are in high demand, but it is hard to find a good neighborhood where all the homes are taken care of. Very little of the new construction has city utilities.
