Buttonwood Ln bayside 6/12/2025

It is another sunny Sanibel Friday, hopefully a lucky Friday the 13^th and happy start to the weekend, especially for those celebrating Fathers’ Day.

I admit I was wrong last week saying the gorgeous color of the water around the islands was done with the onset of the rainy season. After beautiful weather last Friday, more sunshine continued right through the weekend until late Wed on Sanibel with blue skies every day.

It was especially appreciated Tuesday when the SanibelSusan Team showed seven homes. We finished up in The Dunes stopping at their restaurant for a late lunch. It had been a couple of hurricanes ago since I had been there, so it was great to see that the décor, service, chow, and view still are wonderful. (A tropical chicken salad is a new menu addition and fabulous!)

On the Causeway heading to Sanibel 6/11/2025 5 p.m.

Late Wednesday, after some off-island chores, I was on the causeway heading home about 5 p.m. when a huge black cloud followed. The ominous black sky to the east, bright turquoise bay water, and sunshine to the west were an unusual color-combination and so striking that it was almost eerie. The colors were amazing, and I made it home before a soft rain began.

Yesterday also was sunny, until mid-afternoon when the clouds again rolled across the causeway late afternoon and thunder boomed in the distance. The island has had just enough rain this week that there was no need to add pool water and vegetation is growing like crazy, while Dave reports they have had daily showers, sometimes heavy, just off-island

The Sanibel forecast shows only 15-20% chance of rain next week, so maybe the brilliant water will stay around a bit longer.

Star Spangled Sanibel

Things are getting back to normal with the best July 4^th planned this year to also celebrate the City’s 50^th Anniversary. Below is a line-up of events to far:

• 4^th of July Pancake Breakfast – 7 to 9 a.m. at Sanibel Community Church.

Sanibel Vegetation Trimming

This Sunday, June 15 from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sanibel Public Works advises that the vegetation from Periwinkle Way will be trimmed from Casa Ybel Rd to Tarpon Bay Rd. Traffic may sometimes be reduced to one-lane. Roadsides then will be parade ready!

Condo-Tel Rates

Loan rates often are not the greatest for investors looking to purchase a condo-tel. Those units are in a building that is legally a condominium but operated as a hotel, offering short-term rentals, and maintaining a front desk. There are several of those on Sanibel including Sundial, Oceans Reach, Sandalfoot, etc. and many at South Seas Resort on Captiva.

I heard from one of our long-time local bankers this week. He handled the loan for the first property I purchased on Sanibel. He is with a portfolio mortgage lender which is funding non-warrantable condo-tel loans with just a 15% down payment and no PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance). They offer a 7-year ARM at 7.5% (3.375 points) and 10-year ARM at 7.625% with no points. These are available for both foreign and domestic 2^nd home buyers and investors, up to $3M loan amount for a purchase or re-finance.

Island Real Estate Scoop

Yesterday, the Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of Realtors had their first Caravan meeting in several weeks. It was open to any location, either island. Only seven Sanibel homes were open for viewing after the meeting. The next meeting is in two weeks on June 26. That is also our monthly membership meeting with guest speaker from CEPD (Captiva Erosion Protection District).

Below, with data from the island MLS are the details of the MLS action reported this week.

There were just four new residential sales posted in MLS this week, all on Sanibel: a gulf-front condo and three homes.

The Causeway Islands sure were packed over the holiday weekend with beachgoers enjoying the wonderful weather. The rainy season still has not begun, so delight continues about the brilliant clear water.

From Wed 05-28-2025

There also have been plenty of boating fisherman, on either side of the causeway and out in the bay/gulf, particularly Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

Though rain is needed and popcorn clouds continue to occasionally threaten, there have been no showers since a quick one Sunday evening. The forecast says the odds are up to 50% for rain every day next week. Meanwhile, we keep marveling at the Caribbean-style water, as it could be stirred up soon, right on schedule with the arrival of June.

Sanibel Stormwater Repair Project Continues

The City posted another update this week on Sanibel’s island-wide stormwater repair project which began in April and is part of their stormwater master plan update. The system was inspected by Johnson Engineering and the repair project incorporates the results of that and City inspections. Sediment is being removed from swales/culverts and improvements made at catch basin inlets and pipe end treatments. The project is expected to take several months. Work is in areas within publicly maintained rights-of-way and drainage easements.

More Re-Openings

Lazy Flamingo 2 & Key Lime Bistro – Last Friday both Lazy Flamingo 2 on Sanibel and Key Lime Bistro on Captiva reopened. They both had been closed for repairs since Hurricane Ian. Great to see them busy all week, including with live music at Key Lime.

Love Sanibel Back 2025 – Kicked off Wednesday at the East-End shops. Every week for the next 13 weeks, different business areas of the island will be highlighted with fun shopping and dining opportunities to “love Sanibel back”.

Florida Legislature Passes Condo Reform

Condo owners and their associations struggling with new FL inspection and repair requirements may get some relief by a couple of recent bills that provide more time for them to meet the stricter safety standards. The new legislation:

• Clarifies that these inspections apply to buildings with three or more habitable stories.
• Extends the Dec 31 deadline for structural integrity studies by one year, to the end of 2026. (These studies are required by existing law if a milestone inspection reveals possible structural problems.)
• Pauses the requirement to create reserve funds for building repairs for two years after completing the structural integrity study.
• Allows associations to levy special assessments or use line of credit to fund repairs, with the approval of a majority of unit owners.
• Extends the deadline until Oct 1 for local authorities to report which condos have been inspected or deemed uninhabitable.

Island Real Estate Scoop

The Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of Realtors had their monthly membership meeting yesterday followed by the first caravan in three weeks. Guest speaker, Sanibel Mayor Mike Miller provided an island update, while only one property was open for caravan viewing.

Through the summer slower season, the Caravan Meetings will be every other week, open for any island location, and go back to an earlier schedule of 9-10 a.m. That will mean earlier open houses too. The next one will be June 12.

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 residential side, there were seven new sales this week on Sanibel (three condos and four homes) and three on Captiva (a condo and two homes).

On the commercial side, Island Condo Maintenance (ICM), the pool service business came on the market for $1.3M. The commercial real estate at 1039 and 1041 Periwinkle Way (known as Sanibel Commons) also is for sale for $5.4M. This real estate includes 1.68 acres with three buildings, the flex building built in 2020 leased by ICM, the Bait Box building that was raised after Ian, and the building leased to Curio Cottage.

Enjoy your weekend, Susan Andrews, aka SanibelSusan

Sunny southwest Florida weather continues with bright clear water still being enjoyed by island beachgoers and boaters. The rainy season has not begun, though the last couple of days some popcorn clouds have been spotted. Those usually are a warning that showers are coming, but I always joke that they must pay the island toll first. They often get stuck inland.

Daytime temperatures here remain in the mid- to high-80’s/low 90’s (degrees F) and hopefully good weather stays through the holiday weekend. Memorial Day usually brings more overnight visitors and day-trippers. Hopefully, some will be looking to buy real estate.

Restoration Continues

Again, this week, plenty of new landscaping was noticed during my island travels. A list below of just a few that I saw:

• Beachcomber – many new palms, plants, and sod. Looks completely new.
• Kings Crown has many new large palms. Project is ongoing.
• Seascape also looks to have completed their new plantings.
• Villa Sanibel also is sporting new vegetation. I heard they will be reopening for rentals on July 1.

Spring Nests

SCCF photo

Least Tern Chicks – SCCF (Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation) reports that their staff & volunteers have been working hard to protect at least 70 least tern nests on the causeway islands. The first babies were spotted this week. These chicks usually can walk within days but stay in the nest for several days. Then, after about two weeks. they venture a little further. With the holiday weekend approaching, causeway visitors are asked to watch out for these tiny vulnerable chicks. Tern nesting season runs until August, when the colony will head off to winter in Central or South America. This is the third straight year that these birds have nested here after a 30-year absence.

Sea Turtles – This week SCCF also documented the first 2025 green sea turtle nest on the islands. It was laid by the same sea turtle that SCCF has encountered 12 times over the last seven years. Nearly all sea turtle nests laid here are from loggerhead turtles, but there could be as many as 30 green turtle nests. SCCF documented the first loggerhead nest on April 25. As of SCCF has recorded 132 sea turble nests on the island (the same number as last year at this time). Turtle nesting season goes through October.

To assist SCCF, volunteer or donate, please contact them at SCCF.org. With snowbirds leaving, particularly now, they are looking for more help.

Island Real Estate Scoop

The island Association of Realtors had no Caravan Meeting this week, as classes for the SCIS (Sanibel Captiva Islands Specialist) designation were underway. There was, however, listing activity posted in the MLS as detailed below.

Market conditions continue to favor buyers and likely will until inventory goes down. In the meantime, year-to-date, there are 119 closed residential Sanibel sales (that including condos, homes, and residential lots), and just four on Captiva.

With 492 active residential listings on Sanibel and 96 on Captiva, it does not take an economist to say that there are years of inventory. Buyers have more choices than in years. Also, many properties now are in “like-new” condition. As recovery continues, more will come on the market.

This market is like much of Florida and the nation, where sales overall are down compared to last year, inventory is up, with prices easing.

Will it take a summer without a hurricane for sales here to improve? Probably, as that is the biggest objection, we hear from prospective purchasers. Betcha though that those willing to jump before the upward swing returns will benefit. As unique as the islands are, the market will come back.

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.

There were five residential island sales this week, all on Sanibel (a condo and four homes). That is fewer than in many weeks, but typical for just after “season” when winter residents head north and before summer vacations begin.

With the rainy season just around the corner, there has been a noticeable increase in new landscaping going in around the island.  Since the summer showers have not begun yet (just a couple of quick sprinkles earlier this week), the gulf and bay waters remain a clear bright blue.

Folks enjoying the beach at Fulgur St Beach access.

Today at Tarpon Beach condos.

At Tarpon Beach condos, the new landscaping plan also includes a new entrance. Many owners and communities forward to getting free watering for their new vegetation and more greenery as the spring growing season continues. In addition to seeing new plants going in, there also has been a scurry of activity this week with swales and drainage areas being cleaned out along the Gulf Drives. I saw them today at Casa Ybel Resort.

There also has been serious tree trimming around East End utility lines and along the sides of roadways, including Tarpon Bay Rd. Anchor Drive took an entire day & then I saw them on Causeway Bldvd. Sanibel will be better prepared for rainy season this year!

Speaking of tarpon, many more fishing boats have been lined up next to the causeway bridges this week too. Today was the 13^th Annual “Ding” Darling & Doc Ford’s Tarpon Tournament, but no results have announced yet.

Florida Tops U.S. For Economy

Posted Wednesday on Florida Realtors: “Florida ranks No. 1 for economy, No. 2 in education, and No 6 overall in U.S. News’ Best States list – up three spots from last year…

“The ranking, which looks at eight categories (health care, education, natural environment, opportunity, economy, crime and corrections, infrastructure and fiscal stability) across 71 different metrics, also placed Florida as second in the nation for education.

“U.S. News & World report said the state’s dramatic growth bolstered the economy for the No. 1 spot. “With millions of visitors each year to its beaches, major amusement parks centered around Orlando and cruise ships departing from ports on both coasts, tourism is a major contributor to Florida’s gross domestic product.

The state’s agriculture industry is also robust, with Florida groves producing many of the country’s oranges and a winter vegetable industry that makes agriculture a year-round enterprise,” U.S. News’ analysts said.

“Tourism, which pays a sizable share of the state’s sales tax, also has enabled Florida to remain among the states without a personal income tax – adding to the allure of the nation’s leading retirement haven.”

Gov. Ron DeSantis lauded the state’s ranking, noting Florida climbed three spots in Best State rankings overall from last year. “Great momentum!”

Florida was the only state in the South to make the top 10 list:

1. Utah
2. New Hampshire
3. Idaho
4. Minnesota
5. Nebraska
6. Florida
7. Vermont
8. South Dakota
9. Massachusetts
10. Washington

Causeway News

More folks also have been enjoying the causeway island beaches and this week the speed limit returned to 35, but just on the causeway. From the toll booth west, it remains 20 with construction continuing in that area.

Heading on/or off island, it still pays to drive cautiously as visitors are adjusting to the new causeway beach entrances. Bikers are back on the causeway too.

SCCF (Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation) also is monitoring least terns also have been observed nesting on the causeway again this year. This will be the third straight year with them there, after a 30-year absence. Last year, they successfully fledged chicks.

Sea Turtles

Daily monitoring of the 18 miles of Sanibel and Captiva beaches began on April 15 with SCCF documenting the first sea turtle nest of the year on April 25. Since then, their staff and volunteers, beginning each day at dawn, have reported ten loggerhead turtle nests and 28 false crawls. Nesting season will continue to pick up (particularly in June and July), so please remember to keep beach lights out after 9 p.m.

Sanibel & Captiva Islands Association of Realtors

It was an East-End Caravan meeting yesterday at the Islands Association of Realtors. The tour following the meeting had a Sanibel condo, a Sanibel home, and a Captiva home open for easy viewing. Next week is West-End Caravan, while at our monthly membership meeting on May 29, we look forward to hearing from guest speaker, Sanibel Mayor Mike Miller.

Real Estate Scoop
