Being able to enjoy the crisp, sunny upper 70 degree weather in December & January is one of the amazing blessings of living in Florida.

Having spent most of my life in Michigan, this time of year, I really appreciate:

• Biking in the park,
• Having lunch outside (especially at McGregor Cafe!), and
• Keeping the windows open all of the time.

What’s really blown me away lately is the pricing of Fort Myers Real Estate, it’s unbelievable!

If you, or someone you know, is looking to make a decent investement while the market is down & interest rates are at all time lows — it sure seems like now is the time!

Three years ago you could hardly find a decent house below $250,000, today, the median sales price is in the $125,000 range.

Take a look at these properties all in the $50,000 to $100,000 range.

If you’re really looking for a deal, though, I highly recommend RealtyTrac.com.

Here’s an interesting statistic, compliments of my favorite local paper, the Florida Weekly:

Existing home sales in Fort Myers were up 64 percent in November 2008 over November 2007, and the median sales price is down 53 percent!

Amazing times…

If you’d like to know more about the opportunities in, and around, Fort Myers, let me know.  I know plenty of people who are specialists in real estate in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and the surrounding areas.

UPDATE 1/6: I totally neglected to put on of my favorite Real Estate search sites, Trulia.com, in this post.  Check out what’s available in Fort Myers via Trulia.com in the $50k to $100k range.
