We are blessed in SW Florida with weather that allows people to enjoy pools at their homes. People coming from other parts of the country or the world certainly don’t enjoy that benefit. About 50% of the homes which sell in Cape Coral have pools.

Are pools worth the investment for a SW Florida home?

 Our SW Florida MLS sales data tells us a lot about that question - are pool homes worth the investment. In the past 6 months, medium sized homes with pools sold for more than similar sized non pool homes.

• Smaller homes 1400-1600 square feet sold for $25,000 more.
• Medium size homes 1600-2000 square feet sold for $40,000 to $43,000 more.
• Larger homes 2200-3000 square feet sold for $57,000 more.

  This data is for all types, sizes and ages of in ground pools. Newer, larger and more expensive pools will add higher value than the average and smaller than average pools would sell for less. With the cost of a basic pool and cage about $30,000 and nicer pools $40,000 and upward, a new pool with caged enclosure will pay for itself in resale value.

   It is apparent, from the average sales data above, that putting a $50,000 pool on a small lower value home might not be as financially wise as putting a $50,0000 pool on a large higher value home. It is always smart with a major home improvement to consider value added as well as your enjoyment of the improvement.

 About 50% of homes listed for sale in our market have pools, so there are normally homes to see with existing pools.  For buyers who have the cash available, it can make sense to find a good non-pool home in a good area that they like and add the pool. It can definitely increase home choices.

Latest Real Estate Trend Charts August 2016
  Here is a link to our latest trend updates through August for Cape Coral real estate. Inventory for single family is down by approximately 2% since same period last year. As was true last month, the inventory is tightest in lower priced homes. Sales volume for single family homes is down 5.1% compared to the sales levels a year ago.
Off water homes median sale price is up 15.4% over last year (4 month average vs last year). Reduced inventory is pushing up prices. The sales volume was down 4.6%. Inventory of off water homes is the tightest with a 4.1 month supply. This is what continues to fuel the year over year median price increase.

                                   
Freshwater homes median sale price is up 11.2% over last year. Volume was up 15.5%. There is currently a 6.2 month supply of homes.

The gulf access home segment of our market has the highest unsold inventory rate with 9.2 months of inventory.

Peninsula Pointe Cape Coral

SW 28th Pl is an exclusive, quiet, street in Southwest Cape Coral, at the end of El Dorado Pkwy W. Homes on this cul-de-sac road on the South Spreader Waterway enjoy a wide canal view and beautiful sunsets due to rear western exposure. The mangroove preserve that runs alongside the western side of the city is on the other side of canal. Homeowners enjoy watching wildlife and plenty of boats as they make their way out through the Chiquita Lock in Cape Harbour to the Gulf. The boat ride to the lock is about 1.5 miles. 

Homes on other side of the street also have a wide Gulf access canal in their backyard but enjoy eastern exposure and morning sun. The Placentia Canal is just shy of 200 feet across. 

Only a few vacant lots remain on this palm tree-lined street. View current listings on the links below.
