Todays Real Estate market - Fort Myers FL 2013

Here it is in a nutshell- apply for your mortgage NOW.  Get credit and income pre-approved.  Make sure you have qualified completely.  You need to be strong.

Sales are up according the Realtor.com 8.69% this year in the Fort Myers -Cape coral area.  Listings are down 11.47%.  http://www.realtor.com/data-portal/Real-Estate-Statistics.aspx  So that means the inventory is low, which generally pushes prices up  (basic supply and demand).  I noted in my blog a long time ago when we were at bottom.  Well, we are past the bottom. 

Today is the day.  Call your lender. Get moving on the pre-approval.  Get out your taxes (2 yrs), 2 mo bank statements, 2 yrs W2s, and a few paystubs. If you have any other income, prove it! (1099 or award letters from SSI, child support orders).  If you 'forgot' to file 2011 and 2012 taxes- remember! Do it today.  Don't procrastinate.

Remember , (s)he who procrastinates lives with their in laws and that is very uncool to admit at your class reunion. 

Call me with that preapproval and lets get out and find you a place to call home!
