Waterfront Buyer’s Guide
Waterfront properties are my main focus and main area of expertise. If that is your target, you will find the resources on this website to be quite helpful. And more info is always just a phone call away. A large portion of my business pertains to Cape Coral’s canal front homes, as they account for hundreds of miles of the area’s Gulf (ocean) access property and are amongst the best deals for Florida waterfront.
FYI: I call Fort Myers Beach home, and have my main Real Estate office in Cape Coral, though I am very knowledgeable on nearly ALL the waterfront sections of Southwest Florida and have offices throughout the region.
Let’s get starting by discussing Waterfront general pricing throughout the region:
Waterfront Pricing
For those of you who aren’t entirely familiar with this area, here’s a general overview of Gulf access waterfront pricing in Southwest Florida.
And in cases where I am describing what’s typical for pricing: Unless otherwise stated, assume I am referencing a typical 1800-2000 sq ft 3 bedroom single family home or a small 1200 sq ft 2 bedroom condo in these examples, on Gulf access canals, offering boating access to the open water.
I’ll also include some various photo examples of homes and the price points to be expected for that type of waterfront property. This is not a list of updated and available homes- they are just some quick snapshots I’m using to educate the reader about general pricing. Keep in mind there as many other factors contribute to the value, such as the neighborhood, the boating run time, the number of bridges along the way out, if there are any boat locks, etc. And again, these are just to give you an idea- They aren’t necessarily even actual sales as I’ve had to make a number of time adjustments, etc to properly portray current values… so again, just use them as general guidelines. But this can serve as a good introduction and help guide you towards the right areas to zero in on!
