Welcome!
If you’d like to explore the communities and available real
estate in western Charlotte and southern Sarasota counties, this
site is for you!
If you're a potential buyer, there are excellent opportunities
in today's market. Inventories are good and prices in
many neighborhoods are down to pre-2004 levels. Buyers
who act soon may benefit from the extension and expansion of
the government's home sale incentive programs. A tax
credit of up to $6,500 is available for long-time homeowners
who buy a new principal residence. And, a credit of up
to $8,000 is available for first-time homebuyers. A
binding contract must be in place by April 30th and the
property must close by June 30, 2010. (Consult your
tax professional to understand all the details on qualifying
for these tax breaks.)
January 2010 Cape Haze Corridor Report:
Challenges and Opportunities
During the second half of 2009, home sales activity at prices
below $250,000 was brisk on the Cape Haze peninsula.
For example, in Rotonda West, home sales volume rose a
notable 54% compared to the same period last year.
However, while sales volumes were up, prices continued to
decline in most neighborhoods, as distress sales weighed on
the market.
Along the waterfront, from New Point Comfort to Placida, most
second half home and condominium sales were under $500,000.
The January edition of the
Cape Haze Corridor Report
includes details on local real estate sales activity and
articles of interest to Cape Haze peninsula real estate
buyers and sellers. Topics in this issue
include: analysis of 2nd half 2009 real
estate sales activity in our Cape Haze neighborhoods, a
listing of selected 4Q09 home and condominium sales, an
introduction to the Windward at Cape Haze Community, an article on
an unusual day trip destination, Solomon's Castle, and a tabular summary of
2H09
sales results.
The report includes a summary of recent home, condominium and lot sales
activity in Cape Haze, Windward at Cape Haze, Grove City,
Hacienda del Mar, Cape Haze Resort, Fiddlers Green, the
Hammocks Cape Haze, the Landings at Coral Creek, Boca Vista
Harbor, Placida Harbour, Cape Haze Marina Village, Bay
Harbor Estates, and the Rotonda West communities (Oakland Hills,
