Labor Day Weekend 2025 on Sunny Sanibel

Posted on by
Reply

So much for my many weeks describing summer blue skies and sunshine. It was a washout on the island last weekend with heavy rain off-and-on most of Saturday and Sunday, both day and night. Monday through Wednesday continued with a few showers and more clouds than sunshine but yesterday and today were again bright blue days.

Looking at the tropics, the forecasters say that it is almost halfway thru hurricane season. Peak is September 10. Though they expect Florida will remain juicy through the holiday with some rain likely, they also report that this is the first Labor Day weekend in many years where there are no immediate worries of serious storms.

We hope the long weekend, and good weather bring more visitors as it was very quiet on the islands again this week. In my travels this afternoon, I took a picture of the higher new construction at the new Shalimar Beach Resort which is being landscaped and getting closer to being opened (end of September scheduled). At 2823 West Gulf Dr it will feature one- and two-bedroom villa beachside cottages, plus studios in the roadside hotel building shown below.

Also big and tall is the new White Pelican Villas building which is going up where the former Beachview Cottages were at 3325 West Gulf Dr, next door to Lantana. That project is expected to be done in early 2026.

Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of Realtors

The island Association of Realtors did not meet this week as it was the annual Florida Realtors Convention and Business Meetings in Orlando. I attended several sessions remotely including the summary yesterday by our state CEO Margy Grant, General Counsel, Juana Watkins, & COO Dave Garrison. Florida Realtors is strong in members, financially healthy, leads the industry with a bright strategic plan, and continues to offer outstanding training/education and member benefits.

Locally, a Sanibel-Captiva Caravan Meeting is scheduled for next Thursday, September 4, at 9 a.m. with guest speaker. Matt Simmons, appraiser with Maxwell, Hendry, & Simmons. He will discuss the tax appeal process and contesting property valuation on a TRIM notice.

Three sales have been posted in the SanCap MLS since last Friday: two Sanibel condos, and a Sanibel home.

Below, with data from the island MLS are summary tables of the residential sales statistics, followed by the details of the MLS action reported this week.

Looking Better Every Day on Sunny Sanibel

Another Friday is already here with summer showers continuing occasionally, but mostly sunshine and blue skies. Eyes have been on forecasts with Erin barreling up the East Coast and hurricane season heating up. So far, it looks like nothing is on the horizon for Florida. During my drive-arounds Sanibel and Captiva this week, it continues to be great to see clear bright blue water surrounding the islands.

Bay beach end of Seagrape Ln

In the real estate world, now is probably the best time to purchase in all my years here. However, it is important for buyers to recognize that when storms are swirling, they should apply for insurance early as new policies are not written when an area is within a storm cone. We don’t want those to be anywhere nearby this year, but it always pays to be prepared.

A tidbit of good real estate news this week is that I heard from several colleagues that they think business is picking up a little. As slow as it has been, it doesn’t take much to get us excited. Granted more new listings and price reductions are frequently posted, but agents say they are getting more inquiries as summer ends. They haven’t converted to actual buyers yet, but hopefully more interest is a prelude to a busier fall/winter.

Off-Season Announcements

Remember before the pandemic when September was when many businesses and restaurants took a pre-season break for staff vacations, annual cleanings, building improvements, updates, repairs, etc.? It looks like this year will return to that trend. Some announcements this week include:

At The Village Shops – Over Easy Café & On Island – will both be closed September 8-18 to give their amazing teams a well-deserved break after a challenging year (or three).

Sanibel Boat Ramp – The Sanibel Boat Ramp Replacement Project is scheduled to begin on September 8 with the boat ramp expected to be closed for up to 60 days. During that time, the ramp and adjoining dock structures will be unavailable for public use. The project involves the replacement of the existing wooden dock structures, which have reached the end of their service life. To ensure safety and accessibility for boaters, the deteriorating docks will be removed and replaced with new, more durable materials. The concrete boat ramp and walkways will remain in place. While the boat ramp is closed, boaters are encouraged to use the Lee County Punta Rassa Boat Ramp on the mainland adjacent to the Causeway Toll Booth.

Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of Realtors

The island Association of Realtors had their August membership meeting yesterday. Guest speaker Tamara Pigott, Executive Director of the Lee County Visitors and Convention Bureau updated attendees on the purpose of that organization and their expectations into 2026.

Like us, the thought is a year without a hurricane will bring back more visitors and increase business. Even so, the tourism industry in Florida is strong now. Second quarter statistics show that a record 34.4 million travelers visited Florida then. Domestic visitors made up 91.5% of the total, overseas visitors 6.7% and Canadians 1.9%. That overseas visitation was up more than 10% over second quarter last year. Indeed, the future looks bright.

Following the membership meeting, a caravan of open houses followed, with three Sanibel homes and a Sanibel condo open for easy viewing. The next Caravan Meeting is September 4.

Six sales have been posted in the SanCap MLS since last Friday: four Sanibel condos, one Captiva condo, and a Sanibel 1/2 duplex. Below, with data from the island MLS are summary tables of the residential sales statistics, followed by the details of the MLS action reported this week.

On the commercial side, late last Friday, we put our condo listing at Lime Tree Center #2, 1640 Periwinkle Way, under contract, listed at $399K.

Another Happy Friday with Real Estate Scoop on Sunny Sanibel

Posted on by

Another Friday is here and It has been another mixed week of sunshine and raindrops. Roadways have sometimes been a little flooded, but the City has been doing a good job in monitoring those areas.

With local schools back in session, island visitor traffic which was already down is light. Many accommodations are advertising deep discounts for multi-day stays through the end of September. I have heard good reports from many recent visitors, back for the first time since Ian. They offer kudos to the many shop, restaurant, and business owners and their employees who have made their vacations so special. It is not just nature, lifestyle, and ambience, they say, “It’s the great people here that bring island experiences up a notch.”

Lee County TRIM Notices

Lee County notices of proposed property taxes are usually mailed mid-August so be on the lookout for yours if you own one of the 530,000 parcels the county is required to evaluate every year. The Tax Appraiser’s website is easy to maneuver and describes how the process tax works and how market value is determined each January 1.

The website also is helpful for those looking to buy so they understand how taxes change following a sale. This year the TRIM notices also will include info on how Hurricanes Ian, Helene, and Milton affected the values. If you want to check info about any property in Lee County, go to www.LeePA.org.

Punta Rassa Boat Ramp

Lee County announced the ribbon-cutting for the soft opening of the Punta Rassa Boat Ramp and conclusion of FDOT’s causeway project will be at 10 a.m. Thursday, August 21, followed by the ramp reopening at noon. The limited amenities then available include the ramp, partial docks, parking, and rest rooms. Work will continue for several months with future improvements to include completed dock access, fish cleaning station, landscaping, and additional lighting.

Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of Realtors

The island Association of Realtors did not meet this week, but next Thursday is our August membership meeting with guest speaker Tamara Pigott, Executive Director of the Lee County Visitors and Convention Bureau. A caravan of open houses will follow.

Seven new sales have been posted in the SanCap MLS since last Friday, all on Sanibel – five condos and two homes. On a positive note, there have not been that many condo sales in a single week in a very long time.

Some have asked where the closed sales year-to-date have been? A quick summary of the number of sales by property type and complex community are shown below. Though many complexes/communities have not yet had a closed sale this year, the mix is expanding as restoration continues.

For those that ask if the market is improving. Truth is there are opportunities and price reductions continue. Adjustments make sense. Price changes are not red flags but rather an indication on how the market is moving. Sellers willing to negotiate may win. Waiting for the perfect buyer when there is so much inventory could take time.

A local banker asked me just yesterday if the market is still terrible. That depends on your position. Savy buyers are benefiting, but for Sanibel sellers, today, at year-to-date rate of sales, there are 15 months of condo inventory, 10 months of homes, and seven years of residential lots. On Captiva, there are 32 months of condo inventory, 39 months of homes, and no residential lot sales since 2021. Overall inventory will increase as winter gets closer and recovery continues, hopefully that also brings more buyers.

Below, with data from the island MLS are summary tables of the residential sales statistics, followed by the details of the MLS action reported this week.

Sanibel & Captiva Friday Real Estate Scoop 08-08-2025

Posted on by
Reply

Another Friday is here with more Sanibel blue skies and sunshine. After a much-needed brief shower mid-week, it was a surprise to hear about how much more rain was received that day just off-island. Our rainy season forecast calls for 50% chance of rain most days and a few more short showers sprinkled the island again yesterday, but none yet today.

With Florida’s hurricane season a long six months, now that the two easy months are behind, we watch weather projections carefully and plan for what we hope never arrives.

The August/September of the Guide was out today. Our ad from Pg 5 is below.

More Restoration, Rebuilding, Opening News

Roadways and bike paths had little traffic this week, as recovery continues albeit slowly. As Realtors, we often are asked what is happening with repairs or reconstruction at a specific property. Though the island grape vine can be good, it is not always accurate. When I get that question – or a call from a property owner, I look the property up on the City website, www.mySanibel.com. There is a tab at the bottom left on the homepage called “Permits & Licenses”. Clicking that tab brings up Sanibel’s Self Service Page. There on the left is a tab to “Search Public Records”. There where records may be searched by address, including permits. projects, plans, inspections, etc. Those thinking of buying a property also should look here for a history of what work has been done at the property, when, and by whom.

The County Tax Appraiser website, www.LeePA.org also allows searching by property address and then seeing the details about the property, including Building/Construction Permit Details. These include permits through the county, not Sanibel, so though this site also has info, it is not as detailed as what the Sanibel site offers. It is more helpful for Captiva properties.

A Bit of Bailey’s – When Week #12 2025 special events as part of “Love Sanibel Back” were posted, it was great to see that A Bit of Bailey’s in the Rabbit Rd commercial center will be open Saturday August 16 at 9 a.m. The new construction of the big store at the corner of Periwinkle Way and Tarpon Bay Rd still is expected to begin this fall. In the meantime, A Bit of Bailey’s and their Island Store on Captiva will offer many of the same goodies enjoyed at the former big grocery.

Kona Kai of Sanibel – This charming motel at 1539 Periwinkle Way reopened this week. Offering special rooms rates until the end of September, their business hours are 9;30 a.m. to 5 p.m. or call 239-472-1001. Having sold this property to the Rodenburg Family in 2010, there was never a doubt in my mind that they would restore and reopen. Nestled in a tropical Hawaiian-style setting with pool, it also borders the Sanibel River. www.KonaKaiMotel.com.

Michael Saunders & Company on Sanibel – This has been in the works for weeks but finally official with new real estate signs popping up all over the islands. Michael Saunders & Company, out of Sarasota, and with branch offices throughout the Florida Gulf Coast, purchased the former VIP building and business at 1560 Periwinkle Way. Many VIP friends have transitioned to Michael Sanders and we look forward to doing more sales with them soon. (By the way, Michael Sanders is female with a decades-long great reputation.) Welcome to the islands!

Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of Realtors

The island Association of Realtors had a short caravan meeting yesterday, followed by an open house at a single home in The Dunes.

Six new sales were posted in the SanCap MLS since last Friday, all on Sanibel – two condos, two homes, and two lots. Below, with data from the island MLS are summary tables of the residential sales statistics, followed by an update about our listings, plus the details of the MLS action reported this week.

Though many listings expired at the end of July, most are expected to return to the market over the next few months when Sanibel inventory is again likely to have over 200 condos and 300 homes available.

Just Another Gorgeous Beach Day on Sunny Sanibel

Posted on by
Reply

It is another sunshiny Friday on Sanibel. There was a quick shower this morning, but with little rain this week and temperatures cooler than much of the nation, it was interesting to see a post yesterday by Matt DeVitt of Wink Weather that said:

“NUMBER OF DAYS AT 100 degrees F – Despite Florida’s hot reputation, you may be surprised to find out it rarely hits air temps of 100 degrees for most of the state. The reason? Water surrounding the peninsula and high humidity, which on the flip side increases how it feels! Humid air takes a lot more energy to heat up than dry air. Below features the number of days each location has reached 100 degrees since 1895.”

Demolition, Restoration, & Rebuilding Continue

Progress continues throughout the islands with more ribbon cuttings as businesses reopen, plus more new landscaping, building, rebuilding, elevating, and demolition. Below are some noticed in my drive-arounds.

Donax Village – Davie Shoring posted that on Monday, August 4 at 11 a.m., they will be elevating the 11 homes at Donax Village, including duplexes and cottages, up 11 feet. The public is invited to attend with Sanibel Mayor Mike Miller flipping the first switch to elevate.

Sunset Beach Resort – was demolished this week. At 3287 West Gulf Dr just before Lantana condominiums, some may remember Sunset Beach Resort previously was a Best Western, and before that, the Jolly Roger hotel.

Beachview Resort – on the other side of Lantana, at the former site of Beachview Cottages, 3325 West Gulf Dr, new construction continues. It is high and big.

Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of Realtors

The island Association of Realtors did not meet this week, but there were nine new sales posted in the SanCap MLS: three homes on Captiva, three Sanibel condos, two Sanibel homes, and a Captiva condo. Below, with data from the island MLS are summary tables of the residential sales statistics, followed by the details of the MLS action reported this week.

More Friday Sanibel Scoop & Captiva Chatter

Posted on by
Reply

Another Friday has arrived. With the first of the week mostly overcast, islanders since yesterday have enjoyed more blue sky and sunshine. Again seeing record high hazardous temperatures in many northern states, it has been nice to have highs here just occasionally hit 90, but mostly high-80’s (degrees F).

The bright clear teal water surrounding the islands continues beachgoers and boaters enjoying their sports.

Overlooking Blind Pass just before the bridge from the Captiva side toward Sanibel. 07-25-2025

The bird and butterfly activity at my home continues to pick up while son Dave and Lisa who are just off-island too are enjoying lots of bird action, plus many baby bunnies.

With island sea turtle nesting season well underway, SCCF staff and volunteers who survey 18 miles of island beaches from April through October are already reporting more nests and hatchlings. Last year 843 sea turtle nests were laid on the islands and 16,722 hatchlings successfully emerged. This week SCCF posted that so far 2025 recordings include 836 nests (820 loggerhead and 16 green turtles) and 4,880 loggerhead hatchlings.

Sanibel City Council Caps Tax Rate

On July 15, City Council voted unanimously on a resolution to advise the Lee County Tax Appraiser of a proposed operating millage rate of 2.5 mills for fiscal year 2025/2026– the same as the current fiscal year. This millage rate can be lowered during the upcoming budget process but cannot be raised. A budget workshop is scheduled for August 12 and budget hearings for September 8 and 25.

Sanibel Finance Director Steve Chaipel who presented the draft budget to Council also reported that the property appraiser’s preliminary valuation for Sanibel is a decrease of 11.4% from its pre-Hurricane Ian value and an increase of 20.2% from the current year.

Are Ground-Level Properties Selling?

One of the most asked real estate questions since the recent storms is if ground-level properties are selling – or those with ground-level living space. As an owner recognizing the convenience of easy-access 1-level living, below is the scoop on the 2025 Sanibel sales to-date.

62 condos have sold/closed. Of those, ten are ground-level (four at Captains Walk, three at Blind Pass, and one each at Sundial West, Oceans Reach, and Heron at The Sanctuary).

102 homes have sold/closed. Of those, 17 are ground-level (one each in Castaway Estates, Gulf Shores, Lagoon Estates, Shell Harbor, The Sanctuary, and Water Shadows; two each in Gumbo Limbo, Rocks East, Rocks West, and Sanibel Lake Estates; three in Sanibel Estates).

Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of Realtors

The island Association of Realtors had their July Membership meeting yesterday, followed by Caravan of four Sanibel properties open for easy viewing – a condo and three homes.

As summer season continues, there were six new sales posted this week in the SanCap MLS, four Sanibel homes, plus a Sanibel condo and a Captiva condo. Below, with data from the island MLS are summary tables of the residential sales statistics, followed by the details of the MLS action reported this week.

Summering Along on Sunny Sanibel & Captiva

Posted on by
Reply

It was another week of mostly blue skies on Sanibel and Captiva, while hearing about high temperatures in other areas way further north. Even had a pal that summers on Prince Edward Island post a picture of their thermometer reading at 6 p.m. midweek at 102 degrees F. Wow! They sure are happy to have air conditioning.

Highs at my home this week, occasionally hit 90 degrees. There have been a few sporadic showers too, but nothing like the thunder buster I got caught in midweek when coming out of an appointment in Fort Myers where the parking lot was ankle-deep in seconds.  Sunshine welcomed me back on the islands.

In reading the Sanibel Recreation Center newsletter, I noticed that the 2026 beach parking stickers will be available in October. Whenever thinking about parking, it reminds me of the cute little access in Sanibel Harbours. I took a drive there this afternoon (pix below). It is still a wee favorite!

Florida’s Islands Are Among Nation’s Best

Posted this week on Florida Realtors, credited to Vinod Sreeharsha. 2025 Miami Herald: “Five Florida islands made Travel + Leisure’s 2025 top 15 U.S. islands list, highlighting their charm and resilience after multiple hurricanes.

“MIAMI — The Sunshine State is home to several of the best islands to visit in the entire continental United States, according to a newly published survey that includes two locales hit hard by three hurricanes in four years – a tribute to Floridians’ resilience.

“The bragging rights stem from the results of the publication Travel + Leisure’s 2025 World’s Best Awards, out in July. The annual issue, in its 30th year, asked readers all over the globe to vote on their favorite top destinations, hotels, and a host of other categories. While several of Florida’s islands dominated in that category, cities and hotels across the state didn’t perform quite as competitively. The winning islands were:

  • Amelia Island in second
  • Marco Island in sixth
  • Florida Keys in eighth
  • Sanibel Island in 11th
  • Captiva Island in 15th.

“Florida dominated that category, providing five of the top 15. That was more than any other state in the continental U.S. It was also one more than it had in the 2024 World’s Best Awards – Marco Island joined the other four for the first time this year…

“Even as the island category was where Florida shined, the results also reflected the increasing pull of the world…. The big winner was Paros in Greece, chosen as the top island in the world. Mount Desert Island in Maine was the best in the U.S….”

The Sanibel School 2025 Rankings

The results are in. The Sanibel School which serves grades PK-8 continues to be the #1 school in the Lee County District for both Elementary and Middle Schools. Schools are ranked on their performance on state-required tests, graduation, and how well they prepare their students for high school.

Out of a total of 2,193 Elementary and 1,057 Middle Schools in Florida, The Sanibel School ranked #4 in Elementary Schools and #28 in Middle Schools.

Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of Realtors

The islands Association of Realtors did not meet this week, but a Lunch & Learn, hosted by Affiliates with Noack & Company, provided their insight into the new “one big, beautiful bill”, foreign clients, and Hurricane Ian tax update. Their Senior Accountant Carol McCarley, through the years, has helped many foreign clients. She is a FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act) expert. More details about that presentation next week.

Also next week is the July Membership Meeting with insurance updates from Affiliates Dave Arter with Private Client Insurance Services and Chris Heidrick with Heidrick & Company.

The slow summer season continues with just three new sales posted this week in the island MLS, all Sanibel homes. Below, with data from the island MLS are summary tables of the residential sales statistics, followed by the details of the MLS action reported this week.

Hooray, the more traditional summer weather continues – mostly blue sky and sunshine with occasional quick showers to keep the growing green and critters hydrated.

On my Sanibel travels this afternoon, it was a surprise to see no vehicles at several East-End beach accesses.

Sanibel Susan’s Real Estate Scoop

Teammate Dave and I continue to communicate with folks about selling, There are always owners just thinking about a change, others that want to sell but don’t have to, and some that really need a sale – and fast, All considered, here is my advice and a bit of general info about the island summer real estate market.

For decades, before the last three storms, the most Sanibel/Captiva sales have been during last quarter and first quarter. Last quarter buyers often are retirees, investors, or prospective 2nd home owners looking to benefit from winter personal use or ownership, including rental income. The high number of 1st quarter sales are because there usually are more people here then that can afford the islands.

So what about summer? Of course, there may be sales at any time of the year. There are families that want to move before schools restart. There are buyers that want to personalize property. We have learned to never be surprised when a buyer might surface, but there just usually are not as many in the summer.

Unfortunately, three hurricanes in three years has made the buyer pool today more hesitant, resistant, scared, and for some products, almost non-existent. Is it a great time to be a buyer? You, bet, inventory is up, there are many choices. Many say, it may take a summer without a hurricane for the market to transition to more stability or correct to a balance.

Some less-recognized summer trends are that this is when some sellers take their property off the market. It could be for a day, a week, or a few months. It could be for physical improvements or it could be that they think “giving the listing a rest” will make it look like a new listing when it comes back on the market.

Then there are a few sellers that drop their price every week or month. Today’s technology allows prospective purchasers to do more homework, so these tactics are not often successful. The SanibelSusan Team believes that if you want to sell, list your property and keep it on the market.

This summer, the other behind-the-scenes trend is for agents to move brokerages. We understand that the market over the last three years has not been kind to everyone and that companies change. You may have already seen ads about Realtors moving. We hope they all succeed.

The SanibelSusan Team looks forward to a successful market correction. It is taking longer than expected for the island to bounce back from Ian, Helene, and Milton, with the Sanibel and Captiva real estate market also still feeling those effects. Moving forward in a positive direction, we are always exploring ways to keep our listings in the forefront.

Sanibel & Captiva Association of Realtors

The island Association of Realtors had their biweekly Caravan yesterday with three homes and a condo, all on Sanibel, open for easy viewing after the meeting.

Six new sales were posted this week in the island MLS, a Sanibel condo and five homes: three on Sanibel and two on Captiva.

Below, with data from the island MLS are summary tables of the residential sales statistics, followed by the details of the MLS action reported this week.

Hooray! It’s A Sunny July 4th 2025 on Sanibel & Captiva

An old favorite from 2003 parade

This week, islanders wished the rain would go away for the holiday and it did. When the rainy season begins here, it can be serious. There were enough heavy showers Wednesday to flood many swales including water over the road In several areas.

With hopes that the mote around my house would recede overnight, it was good to see that it did go down a couple of inches before the showers restarted yesterday. There was more rain last night, but for the holiday today – no rain yet, and mostly sunny. The forecast jumps back to 65% chance of rain tomorrow (Saturday).

I heard skeeter control flying over the East End last night and they were spraying mid-island earlier today. Their job has got to be near-impossible with so many recent showers. They sure are appreciated.

Pre-Holiday Happenings

Over Easy Café – reopened yesterday in their new location in The Village Shops with many islanders and visitors already enjoying breakfast and lunch there.

Prescribed Burn Successful – On Tuesday, “Ding” Darling in partnership with the Sanibel Island Prescribed Task Force (including U.S. Fish & Wildlife, City of Sanibel, SCCF, Sanibel Fire & Rescue District, and Lee County Mosquito Control) successfully completed a prescribed burn at Legion Curve. Conditions cooperated for the task force to plan, test, and execute a fire to eliminate the fuel that heightens the likelihood of wildfire on the island.

July 4th 2025 So Far

With the original forecast today for dismal rainy weather, yesterday The City announced that the Sanibel parade that was scheduled for this morning was canceled. Other events have been well attended including the pancake breakfast, Jerry’s Celebration, the road rally/scavenger hunt, and the huge family event at the Rec Center. I also heard that The Blue Giraffe had a twinkie-eating contest. Lots of island fun.

Now, we look forward to the weather staying rain-free and the fireworks at 9 p.m. Many on the causeway have already staked out their viewing spots.

Florida Contract Condo Rider

Monday, I attended the Florida Realtors legal team webinar covering the new state condo rider and the condo changes that became effective on July 1. Much of the form  now requires completion by the unit owner (see attached). Some of the new association changes include:

Transparency

·        Association websites must include all approved BOD minutes over the preceding 12 months.

·        Associations can fund reserves related to structural integrity with special assessments, a line of credit, or Ioans. Info must be included in the association annual financial statement, which must appear on the website and be disclosed to potential buyers.

·        Purchaser’s 3-day right-of-recission for sale by unit owners is extended to 7 days, not including weekends and holidays.

Financial Flexibility

·        Milestone Inspections (MI) and Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) narrowed to buildings with 3 or more habitable stories.

·        SIRS deadline extended to December 31, 2025 for condos existing before July 1, 2022.

·        For budgets adopted on or before December 31, 2028, unit-owner controlled associations can pause or reduce reserve contributions for 2 consecutive annual budgets to fund MI repairs.

·        Associations that have completed their MI can delay SIRS for 2 consecutive budget years to prioritize repairs and maintenance.

·        Extends SIRS exemption to 4-family dwellings with 3 or fewer habitable stories above ground.

Reserves

·        Requires that SIRS include, at a minimum, a reserve “baseline” funding plan that ensures the reserve cash balance remains above zero.

·        Allows reserve funds to be invested in certificates of deposit or deposits in banks and credit unions.

·        Increases the monetary threshold for non-structural reserve items; roof replacement, painting, resurfacing, and any other item – from $10K to $25K (indexed for inflation). These non-structural reserves can be waived by majority of members in unit-owner controlled associations only.

 

Sanibel & Captiva Real Estate Scoop

It was a quiet one with real estate sales this week on rainy Sanibel and Captiva. The only new sale posted on either island in the SanCap MLS was a Sanibel gulf-front home. Below, with data from the island MLS are summary tables of the residential sales statistics, followed by the details of the MLS action reported this week.

First, a comparison of Sanibel 1st quarter residential sales compared to 2nd quarter, just ended. As optimistic as I want to be, it doesn’t look like the 2025 market here is going to improve soon.

Though, the island market is better than the June 30, a “Wall Street Journal” article titled “The Worst Housing Market in America Is Now Florida’s Cape Coral”. SanibelSusan Team members also belong to the Royal Palm Coast Realtor Association and Florida Gulf Coast MLS which covers Cape Coral, so I was notified yesterday when their 2025 President, my friend Karen Borrelli, sent a response to “The Wall Street Journal”. It provided good information on market cycles and price normalization, described a balanced market, and essentially providing the details that show Cape Coral, like most of Lee County is in transition, not in trouble.

Like much of the nation, Florida looks forward to an improved economy, stronger consumer confidence, and a shift in the trend. Bring the sun back to the Sunshine State!

The islands are settling into their more typical summer weather routine, with usually short afternoon or evening showers. Today there also was morning rain, sometimes overcast, and another thunderstorm expected later.

Lee County Mosquito Control has been flying at night when it is storm-free and doing a good job in keeping the skeeters under control. They are scheduled to be out again tonight.

Watching the national news reporting incredibly hot weather north and up the coast, it was no surprise when Dave called yesterday. He was on his way to a weekend reunion in Virginia and reported that his truck only reported temperatures over 100-degrees F when he got out of Florida. At my home, daytime temperatures consistently have been low- to mid-80’s, though occasionally my car registers 90+ when off-island.

For those looking to enjoy a Florida visit, I hear that there are plenty of vacancies for the holiday weekend. Even with recent rains, bright clear teal waters still surround the islands with good feedback from beachgoers, shellers, and fishermen, particularly when it is breezy.

Looking Forward to July 4th 2025

The islands continue to post announcements about upcoming holiday festivities. Sanibel July 4th events are expanded to also celebrate the City’s 50th anniversary and run the gamut from the morning parade to noon road rally/scavenger hunt, then evening fireworks.

There are plenty of celebrations in-between too, from the pancake breakfast at The Community Church, to post-parade fun at Jerry Shopping Center and the Rec Center.

 

South Seas Resort on Captiva usually has their own private holiday events, but the next day, on July 5th, they with have a celebration at their new/renovated retail shops with an open-to-the-public “Sip & Shop” from 1 to 3 p.m. These shops at 14830 Captiva Drive include J. McLaughlin (men’s & women’s clothing), Outfitters (sporting gear & island apparel), Provisions (gourmet market & deli), South Seas Spirits, plus Starbucks. In addition to goodies, treats, food and drink samples, there will be live music, and face painting.

Re-openings/Restoration

The Bubble Room – announced yesterday that after nearly three years of restoration, they will be reopening on Monday July 14. Lunch will be served there from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and dinner from 4:30 to 9 p.m. No reservations initially, just walk-ins.

SanCap Chamber of Commerce – this week marked their 100th ribbon-cutting since the storms at VCA Sanibel Animal Hospital at 1509 Periwinkle Way.

Villa Sanibel – condos at 2321 West Gulf Dr just announced that their units will officially reopen on July 1 after 1002 days of recovery.

Village Shops on Sanibel – had some new tenants move in and already reopen. Most previously were at the shopping center at the end of Tarpon Bay Rd. Now in their new location at 2340 Periwinkle Way are J Rod’s, On Island, and Suncatcher’s Dream. Opening soon is the Over Easy Café. A new boutique, Island Pearl, also has opened at the Village Shops.

Florida Condo Rider

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed a bill with changes to section 718.403, Florida Statutes, of the Florida Condominium Act. As a result, Florida Realtors legal team is hosting a webinar this coming Monday afternoon to discuss the updates to the Florida sales contract Condo Rider, as well as other statutory changes. The bill goes into effect July 1. SanibelSusan is registered to attend. More details on that next week.

Sanibel & Captiva Real Estate Scoop

The June membership meeting of the islands Association of Realtors was yesterday with guest speaker Brighton Heard, the new General Manager of CEPD (Captiva Erosion Protection District). He spoke to attendees on the process of beach renourishment, dune restoration, and resiliency planning to mitigate the impacts of storms and sea-level rise. Following the meeting, seven Sanibel homes and a Sanibel condo were open for easy Caravan viewing.

This week, there were just four new sales posted in MLS: all residential on Sanibel: a condo and three homes.

Below, with data from the island MLS are summary tables of the residential sales statistics, followed by the details of the MLS action reported this week.
