Finding Diamonds in the Debris - What’s Next for the SW Florida Housing Market?
It’s now been about a month since Hurricane Ian wreaked havoc upon our beloved community. Sheryl and I have seen the destruction firsthand and our whole hearts go out to all who have been affected by this disaster. We have been to ground zero where we have volunteered our time and energy with the clean-up efforts this past month. We have emptied out numerous flooded homes and readied them for rehabilitation for those who could not help themselves. How could we not roll up our sleeves and do all we could for the community we love, and help coordinate others who wanted to do the same? It has made us so proud to be a part of a community that comes together like this when disaster strikes.
Although the cleanup continues in our hardest hit areas, we intend to shift our focus to what we know and do best, being a real estate resource for the people of this community. Housing is critical for so many at this point. The dream of home ownership in SW Florida has proven to be alive and well.
We are sure this disaster has left you with many unanswered questions. How does this affect my home value? What is the current and future forecast of the SW Florida Real Estate market? Is it even worth it to repair the damage to my home or would it be better to sell as is? With so much misinformation out there, it can be hard to find accurate and reliable information. We can help you understand your options and help guide you to making the right decision for you.
SW Florida is down, but never out! Studies have shown Real Estate markets affected by hurricanes historically rebound and come back stronger than ever. For example, according to Realtor.com, in the 10 years since Hurricane Katrina, the median home sale prices have skyrocketed—in some places increasing more than 80% since 2007.
There is opportunity in every disaster, and Sheryl and I would be honored to help you navigate the aftermath of Hurricane Ian and come out better off on the other end. We are 100% committed to superior customer service, consistent communication and helping you achieve your goals. Contact us anytime to discuss how we can help you find diamonds in the debris!
