I ran by a property this afternoon, and this little burrowing owl was perched on a post right next to the front door. I noticed one eye looked completely different from the other.

If you’ve been watching the Cape Coral waterfront market, here’s a quick update.

Since January 1, inventory of Gulf-access pool homes has dropped about 34%, with 734 closed sales during that same time. We may be starting to see a slight shift in the market.

If you’re considering buying or selling waterfront property in Cape Coral and have questions about what these numbers mean for you, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to help.

Southwest Florida’s waterways are beautiful, but they can also be surprisingly shallow, even for experienced boaters who are new to the area.

Changing depths, marked channels, tides and local knowledge all matter when you’re getting familiar with boating here.

Just one of those little Southwest Florida sights I never get tired of. 🐦🌴
