Thanks for watching. I grew up in Indy myself!

lol yes it is. Thanks.

My pleasure!

Hi! Honestly, that’s a tough one to put a timeframe on. The good news is that area down there is one of the relatively higher demand areas for condos. I know Porto Vista has seen some better than average activity this summer. If we can get some of this inventory off the market in 2025 and the stock market does well, maybe we can hope to see overall condo prices start to bump up in the spring of 2026, but there’s a lot of speculation in that. Ultimately, I think there are some “forced sellers” (condo owners who no longer can afford to keep their unit with the higher fees and therefore MUST sell) that we need to get through before that turnaround happens. Once we get through those, that will help things out quite a bit for the sellers that remain. Wish I could be more definitive, but that’s my best guess as it stands right now. Thanks for watching!

@ ok thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

lol

You're welcome!

Agreed! I’m actually representing the buyer on it.

I remember that. Tough spot for it to go.

I think the Toyota only has like 7k miles on it. They want $28k for it, and $64k for the center console boat.

Hi! I am actually working on this month’s report now, so I will include some data on freshwater canal properties in my upcoming video. It should be out by Friday afternoon.

@ Thanks, I’ll be looking forward to seeing it.

Hi! They actually just broke ground on Tropicana Park last week just on the north side of the islands, and phase 1 of the actual seven islands project is slated to break ground sometime next year. Those projects are tough simply because there’s a ton of red tape involved with the Army Corps of Engineers, so we’ll be happy to see them get started next year.

Thanks!

Hi! I haven’t done any work in Inverness myself, but I’d be happy to refer you to one of the members of the foreclosure agent trade organization I belong to who covers Inverness. If you’d like that, shoot me an email - [email protected]

Hi! Unfortunately, I think we’re many years out from that becoming a reality. There’s a ton of red tape involving agencies like the Army Corps of Engineers and the FDEP that would have to approve plans and issue permits. To my knowledge, they haven’t even begun any environmental studies, which would likely be a first step considering the water flow changes and all the mangrove removal that would have to be mitigated. It’s taken decades to just now get final approval to remove the Chiquita lock, so I think we’re a ways out from that cut through getting accomplished.

Thank you so much! Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Great chatting with you the other day.

😂

Cool!

Thank you! Here’s a video I did earlier this year that touched on plans for that southwest corner that were current at that time. The Gilbane West project was the name they were using at that time: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH7XaaemltifgaMsi=-d3A4RiuN-H8A0fl . The northwest corner had plans to be a large commercial strip center but there have been some additional acquisitions right there and I haven’t heard whether those plans have changed or not. I’m sure I’ll be doing an update video in the coming months that will cover the latest news on the bigger new projects.

@ thanks! We’re so excited for all the new developments coming to the area!🙌🏻

Me too!

I’m so sorry that happened to you all. That’s just terrible. I hope you were able to get some aid from FEMA. All the best to you and your family.

Thanks for watching!

Great! Thank you! Glad it was helpful.

Hi. Thanks very much. I always make sure my clients and I check insurance rates during our due diligence period, after contracting on a property. It’s good to shop insurance rates because the premium amounts can vary quite a bit between companies. I can’t speak to exactly what all metrics these companies are using to issue rates, but I know that the big ones are the wind mitigation features of the property and claims history of the policyholder for homeowners insurance and the elevation certificate (and of course the base flood elevation of the area) for flood insurance. We do seem to be getting more insurance options these days, so it’s always good to shop companies. I do it on my personal home every year in case a new company offers a better rate.

I’m sorry. Hope your day gets better.

Glad to hear it!

Thanks so much! I’m glad it was useful for you. I would love the opportunity to help you with your move here when the time comes. God bless!

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

Hi. Most are, but there are many wood framed homes as well as ICF.

Agreed!

Hi. The mandate is only for Citizens Property Insurance Corp. (state-owned) policyholders. All of these homes should have no problem qualifying for private insurance and therefore wouldn’t be subject to the Citizens policyholder mandate.

Thank you for the clarification. I bought a new build home in a non evacuation, non flood zone. I have private insurance and was concerned that I would have to purchase flood insurance.

No problem. Congrats on your purchase!

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

Thanks for watching!!

It’s right in the video. 2nd chapter as I intro the property itself at 2:30. $5.98M.

Hi! Hurricane Milton largely spared our area, so yes, most everything is already back open, and certainly by the time you arrive things will be back to normal for our busy season. Cape Coral had virtually no damage. The barrier islands got some water but nothing like Ian two years ago. Everything’s good and the beaches are open! Please come!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for those kind words! God bless you too!

Thanks!

Thank you!!

lol, yeah, no fun.

Thanks for watching and for your perspective!

Those are good tips! Thank you! I didn’t show it in the video, but the doors on my RO cabinet came off in this storm. They luckily didn’t get far, and they just snapped back in, but I’ll definitely be wrapping one around the middle like that next time. Thanks!

Thank you!

Yes, I think most of us lost power when those power poles on Burnt Store Rd went down. Pretty wild watching the sky light up whenever a transformer would blow.

@@CapeCoralDustin It was a bright teal or bright purple color. It was something to see

Definitely!

Agreed! Thanks for sharing your perspective!
