Florida Condo Lifestyle in the land of renewables wealth and futures

WWS -- Wind, Water and Sun -- we have them in abundance in Florida. No shortages in the SunCoast Waterfront. Resort living with the wealth of the future energy generation and we don't worry about the $100Trillion project needed over the next 50 years (see Scientific American). We live with this abundant energy daily. Clean vitality on our doorstep.

This week's excitement is focussed on $200k condos in Punta Gorda -- real steals, see for yourself -- because the economic bubble in Punta Gorda's real estate has subsided. We want to share with you the picture (Courtesy of Zillow) of how the bubble has reached its solid historical ground and put it in perspective with the bubbles in the midwest and nationally so you can see the reality of these opportunities since the mortgage market is still very favorable. See our bank rate links.


For those who're unfamiliar with our entertainment here, this Picks service is provided for Northern retirees and wanna-be-snowbirds-someday looking for waterfront homes or trying to get acclimated to the real estate market in Florida with its beautiful, healthy lifestyle. Biweekly is our timetable unless some of my clients are in town for personal attention.

Client's Wishes Come True

The client's wish parameters were: single family, pool, Punta Gorda Isles, boat lift and dock, sailboat or powerboat canal, sale price $550,000 tops.

For my drive-by research I concluded the best comparison to a pending sale -- for accuracy in market assessment -- was a pending sale on Medici for a good comparison. Otherwise appraisal in this market is more like educated guessing at the sale price at this point of research.

And out of about 20 candidates matching those parameters and available from $450,000 to $600,000, 5 active listings stood out. See below, behold and picture your owning such grand homes.
