Building Permits August 2012 There were 28 new home single family permits issued for the month of August 2012. The 2012 year to date total for Cape Coral, Fl is 240 (not including six permits issued for duplex construction) The Sandoval development continued to drive the new home permit data for Cape Coral real estate. The amenity rich community accounted for 80 of the 240 permits issued year to date. Normally, any one development accounting for 33% of a cities permit total would have the developers jumping for joy. In prior years, Sandoval accounted for almost 50% of the total permits for Cape Coral. There are a few reasons for the percentage decline. First, Sandoval is a victim of its own popularity. Phase II almost sold out before Phase III was prepped for building. Taylor Morrison expects permitting for their models to be approved in the next 2-3 weeks. Construction of new homes in Phase III is expected to begin in the spring of 2013 .You can view the MLS listings for Sandoval at http://www.capecoralhouseforsale.com/ The other reason Sandoval’s percentage is down is because building is taking place in the Northwest portions of Cape Coral. New construction since 2007 has been almost totally confined to the Southwest quadrant of the city. In 2011 only eleven permits with a NW property address had been issued through August. Though August of 2012 the number has more than doubled to twenty three! While that isn’t a big number, it represents the best total in five years! Who can argue with a better than 100% increase? Cape Coral Florida property values are rising again. Gulf Access, no bridge property values are soaring. It was only a year ago that real estate lots, south of Beach Parkway, west of Sands Blvd and along El Dorado were listed at prices under $200,000. Now lots under $300,000 in that same area are rare. Estate lots in Tarpon Point, Cape Coral’s premier community, are listed in the $1,000,000 range.

Why not? Cape Coral still has its 400 miles of canals, the Caloosahatchee River, Gulf of Mexico, proximity to Naples, Fl and Fort Myers, Fl and desirable Southwest Florida climate to attract those seeking to purchase a piece of paradise at about a 40% discount when compared to a few short years ago. Look at these numbers representing new home building permits since 2008 through August of each year. The trend is unmistakable. 2008 172 2009 118 2010 163 2011 177 2012 240 “We appear to be well on our way out of the real estate crash”, said Michael Rogala a Realtor® who specializes in Cape Coral and Fort Myers, Florida properties, "I’m encouraged by the building now taking place in Cape Coral, Fl.
