The different quadrants in Cape Coral
What are your specific needs and wants when searching for a home in Cape Coral FL? There is a familiar question we often get what is the difference between the 4 quadrants in Cape Coral? If you are new to the area or are searching online for a new home, this concept can be really confusing. Cape Coral is divided into 4 quadrants South West, South East, North West, and North East. Each quadrant has its own distinct attributes, and qualities that makes it unique and special.
South East Quadrant
This is the first developed area in Cape Coral and is considered the heart of the city by most. It is positioned on the western bank of the Caloosahatchee River, with convince to Ft Myers Beach and Sanibel Island by way of the Cape Coral parkway toll bridge. SE Cape Coral’s first homes were built in the late 50’s and early 60’s, these original homes are usually smaller but don’t lack in old Florida charm and impressive native landscaping. This area of Cape Coral is also highly sought after by water enthusiasts for its convenient and unrestricted water access; meaning any size vessel can easily maneuver through the canals, gaining quick access to the river and Gulf of Mexico. In the SE Cape many of the original homes, have been replaced with large lavish estates. This and the fact that the utilities are in and paid demand some of the areas highest real estate values.
Communities and areas located in SE Cape Coral:
Gold Coast
South West Quadrant
SW Cape was the second area to be developed. It is the only quadrant that has access to the Spreader canal (spreads water from the canals through the mangroves) and is bordered by a beautiful preserve full of wildlife and native vegetation.
Because SW cape is a relatively new area, it is full of large new homes and beautiful gated communities. SW Cape does also have a lock system in place which allows easy access to salt water; it does however limit the size of vessel. Water lots are either situated on fresh (no gulf access) or salt water. The fresh water canal system is what you desire; it will lead you through a chain of canals and fresh water lakes that is optimal for fishing and taking in beautiful natural habitat. Most of SW Cape Coral has the utilities in place; however some homes may carry a balance.
The communities and areas located in SW Cape are:
Cape Harbor
Pametto Pines
Eight Lakes community
North East Quadrant
The NE Quadrant is a relatively new area that is full of new construction and vacant lots ready for development and room for growth. It is full of superstores such as Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Target and many restaurants; chain and local located on Pine Island Rd. More major development is planned for the future, but for now there are plenty of services available for the residents of this area. If you are a boater this area may not be a right fit for you. All canals and lakes in this area are fresh water; the Gulf of Mexico is not accessible from this area. Most homes in this area do not have utilities in place, hence the less expensive real estate values. If county life is what you’re interested in, this quadrant has acreage available but still in close proximity to all the amenities.
The Communities and area located in NE Cape are:
North West Quadrant
This area of Cape Coral is located with convent access to areas such as Pine Island, Matlacha Pass, and Charlotte Harbor. If you are a boater and need direct access to salt water there is an area in the southern tip of this quadrant for convince. In addition to direct access, this area also has fresh and salt water lots. In this area you have easy access to Burnt Store Marina, an upscale boating and golfing community as well as Coral Oakes golf course.
The city utilities have not been extended to this area yet, the homes will be on well and septic, which will require a water system and ongoing maintenance. In this area there is a large inventory of new construction homes, available at all price points.

Homes are selling fast in Cape Coral
Did you know that in recent months the average home in Cape Coral sits on the market for 30 days or less and many with multiple offers? Sure makes it hard when you are searching for a home from another state or country. It is nice to sit in the privacy of your own home and spend hours examining each detail and performing your own due diligence on the homes you have added to your favorites, but the reality is that most of these homes will be sold by the time you have narrowed your list. It is true that searching for a home has become much easier by way of the many search sites, but taking too much time will result in missing out. Certainly know what is available, do your research, and find what specific criterion meets your needs, but if your scouting trip isn’t planned for months rest assured the inventory will have turned over more than once.
We are now approaching our high selling season, inventory is down from past years and prices are trending upward. So if you are on the fence about buying, hop a flight and get in on the action. If we can help you with your buying or selling needs, please don’t hesitate to call.

Buying a home in Cape Coral FL at any budget
Every year around this time, many of our Northern neighbors experience their first freeze. The chill in the air prompts them to pack up their belongings and head south. Our city will soon wake from its summer slumber and welcome back the snowbirds, vacationers and extend a warm invitation to our potential transplants. Northerners; No need to pack up those Bermuda shorts and flip-flops just yet, come see what all the fuss is about. If you are in the market to buy a vacation home or thinking of relocating altogether there is no better time than the present. Home prices along with interest rates are at an all time low, with plenty of inventory to choose from. No matter what your budget or criteria there is something here for everyone. Listed below is what you can expect within your budget.
What can you get for up to $100,000?
Well there are many homes available in that price range, 214 to be exact. There will be an average of 1472 sq feet and 3 beds and 2 baths. In this price range 17 of these homes do offer an in-ground pool. None of these homes have access to the Gulf of Mexico, but 4 are located on non-navigable fresh water canals, which is still a nice view. There are 42 of the 214 homes available with the city utilities in and paid. The majority of the 214 homes are located in the NW, NE area of Cape Coral, which is a bit further from the heart of the city, but still a close drive to Pine Island Rd., where many great restaurants and retail stores are located. 106 of these homes are regular resale’s, 53 are foreclosures and 55 are short sales. In this price range many of these homes will not be considered move-in ready, but with some work will still be a great investment.
What can you get from $101,000 to $200,000?
In this price range, a lot of requests we hear from buyers such as; with a pool, 1800 sq feet minimum and access to the gulf can be met, but the price will be closer to the $200,000 mark. There are 506 homes available in this price range with the average homes being a 3 bed two bath with 1,817 sq ft. Out of the 506 homes 230 have in-ground pools (average price being $154,841) and 184 have the city utilities in and paid. 96 of 506 homes are waterfront but only 45 of the 96 are gulf access, some with closer proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and/or the Caloosahatchee River than others. The average home price for the 45 gulf access homes with a pool is $189,900, a great buy for this type of home. The number of homes in this price range that are regular resale’s are 378, 46 are foreclosures and 82 are short sales.
It is important to understand that some short sales and foreclosures at any price range may have been stripped of certain fixtures, left vacant for extended periods of time, or may have not been properly maintained. It is really important to have a home inspection to make certain you account for all necessary repairs and to be certain there will be no major surprises after closing.
No matter what your price range or criteria, we are certain we can find a great home to fit your needs, it is just important to be realistic and flexible and all the rest will easily fall into place. If we can help you find the perfect home at the perfect price please don’t hesitate to call, we look forward to hearing from you.

HGTV House Hunters in Fort Myers Florida
HGTV did a show right here in Fort Myers, Florida that aired just this week. The episode featuring Ft Myers real estate showcased a Ft Myers real estate agent with buyers searching for a great deal in SW Florida. Apparently, like many other home buyers in SW Florida, this couple arrived with expectations of finding their dream home within a low budget. They realized during their search that they’d need to up their budget further to get the house that more matches with their wish list.
A few years ago I was approached by HGTV to be featured on their House Hunters show. I would have jumped at the opportunity however at that exact moment I wasn’t working with any buyers who were interested in being featured on a national television show.
I love the idea of getting the word out about Cape Coral real estate & the Fort Myers real estate market. We have many buyers looking to invest here and it is helpful for them to be armed with the correct information prior to their arrival to maximize their time here. When I am contacted by a prospective buyer I do my best to determine their wants and needs and give them a clear idea of how that relates to the available real estate inventory in SW Florida. Typically I set the customer up with a custom real estate search that updates several times a day with houses in Cape Coral or Ft Myers that match their criteria. From there I ask them to let me know which ones they like and which ones they are not fond of too. We continue to keep in touch going over options until they are ready to make their visit. Once they arrive in SW Florida we can easily narrow the list down further and spend time viewing only the very best options available for sale.
At the present time many of our buyers are from out of state and out of the country. We love assisting our out of town buyers. Working with myself or one of my agents at Florida Future Realty gives home buyers a great advantage to securing their dream home or investment property in Ft Myers or Cape Coral.
If you have considered owning real estate in SW Florida now may be the perfect time. You can search on our website with no hassles. We won’t contact you unless you ask us to. When you are ready to learn more, schedule a showing or meet with one of our agents then just give us a call or email us.
We look forward to meeting you soon!
It is easy to set up a search ~ just click above under ‘Buy’ and select the search you’d prefer. Or if you’d rather, just give us a call at 239-542-8521 to speak with a licensed Florida real estate agent.
Cape Coral New Construction
New construction is happening in Southwest Cape Coral, Florida. We may have experienced a lag over the past few years in new builds but we are watching more and more houses pop up all over the SW quadrant of Cape Coral again. Most of these new construction homes are being built on gulf access canal lots. They are larger, upscale homes not to be confused with the smaller, row type housing developments that flooded our market in 2005 and 2006. While I may not know each owner and their intended use for these new waterfront homes in SW Cape Coral I would take an educated guess that these Cape Coral homeowners are financially stable and educated with their real estate investment. Some may be used as investments while many others will be used as vacation homes or even primary homes. Cape Coral new construction continues to rise! Home buyers hear about all of the great house buying opportunities here in Cape Coral but when they arrive and investigate further they often find that in order to buy the exact house they were hoping for they’ll either have some major fix up work to complete on an existing house or they can find a builder to assist them with building their dream home. We have contacts with builders to suit even our pickiest buyers. If you are thinking about building a home in Cape Coral let us know what you are looking for and we can assist you. We can help you find the vacant land ourselves or sometimes the actual builder will have some nice parcels for you to check out as well. The best piece of advice we can provide is to hire an educated real estate agent to assist you with your home build. Having an experienced agent on your side to help guide you through the current market is critical. There are no additional fees to hire a licensed real estate agent to assist you in your search for a new home. Whether you decide to build on a standalone residential lot or inside one of our lovely gated communities in Cape Coral, there are great options available for all. We look forward to working with you. Remember, we can assist you with pre-existing homes as well. We have agents who are familiar with the typical distress sells as well like foreclosures and short sales but we also work with new builds to cater to our discriminating buyers as well.
