Sanibel Island Real Estate. The Lighthouse Pointe * Sanibel Island Condos For Sale

 Sanibel Island Real Estate * The lighthouse on the pointe of Sanibel Island Florida.

Sanibel Island Florida real estate. I was out showing property last week on Sanibel Island and I wanted to stop by the condo development I that lived a a while. in fact on vacation on sanibel island for over 10 years before buying a guld access waterfront home in Cape Coral Florida.

I know Sanibel Island very well after spending so many years on the island. The fishing, shelling dinning and the golf on the island. I am very knowledgeable about the island and my top suggestions for condo developments, single family waterfront homes and golf course living. There are also some foreclosures that have recently pop up on the market and are a very good deal considering the real estate market on Sanibel has really held its value compared to a lot of other cities in southwest Florida.

   

One of the prime locations is at the very south end of the island near the Sanibel Island Light House. The beach and the fishing pier are both a short distance out your back door! The view across the back bay to Fort Myers is always a great view of dolphins, wild life and all shapes, sizes ,and styles of boats heading out to the gulf of Mexico.

There are 3-4 real good condo developments I would suggest on the south end of Sanibel Island. Please call or email me for a complete list of condos for sale on the south end of the island.

I look forward to working with you.

Sanibel Island Real estate* Sanibel Island Homes for Sale * Real Estate Market Report Sanibel Island

  Waterfront homes located on canals on Sanibel Island are selling better , but the average price has dropped over 20%  since 2008. Buyers are looking for the lower-priced houses, on canals for the view and most of the time not for the access to the gulf for boating.

The sales of Short Sales and foreclosure listings have had an impact of the market values on Sanibel lower end sales have skewed the average sales prices on Sanibel. Home buyers are looking for pre-foreclosure  and Bank Owned homes for sale looking for the bottom of the market on Sanibel Island.

Canal-front pool homes in Sanibel start around $600,000 and top out around 3 million dollars . Canal-front condos are available from $300,000 to $595,000.

“Home Buyers looking to purchase a home on Sanibel island this year are out there looking for the best priced deals, as prime waterfront locations has become less desirable as "Price Shopping" has taken over "The Location hunting" on Sanibel Island until we at least see the economy start to turn around.

Here is where I took these pictures.  I always enjoy going to the beach seeing the dolphins, trying to catch fish from the shore or walking the shoreline watching the sun set and looking for sea shells all at the same time.

Sanibel Island Drawbridge Opens For The Last Time!

                                                                       

                            Sunset View standing on the sand between the two existing bridge spans!    

Sanibel Island Florida has been a part of my life for over 20 years! Being a past owner/vacationer on the Island, I have seen the Island change over the years. June 28th 2007 marked the last day the drawbridge was opened opened of the last time. I used to be able to see in the distance, the sailboats going toward the bride from my balcony on my condo at lighthouse Point ! Please Don't get me wrong, I always complained on waiting for the drawbridge when the traffic backed up on the bridge! But I must admit, the view on the bridge with the boats, people fishing and Pelicans flying by will not be enjoyed as well from the taller bridge span replacing the old drawbridge. There was something to be said about the view that made entering Sanibel Island special. As a Realtor, I meet and talk to so many people that live, work and play on Sanibel island. I bet if you asked them about the new bridge change? You might be surprised the amount of people that will tell you they miss the bridge that was there so long that made you stop look and enjoy the great lifestyle! Sometimes we take for granted living, working and playing here in southwest Florida. If your looking to buy, sell or an investment on Sanibel Island? Please call or email me, let my experience on Sanibel island work for you!
