Hello and welcome to my website.

Thanks to the internet you and I have many tools available to research anything we want. 

Searching for a home is no different.  The internet allows us to look and compare. One of
the best tools avaiable to the consumer is Listingbook, which you will find on the left hand
side menu of this page. I invite you to click on it and create your own account.  Listinbook
gives you the freedom to search but also to communicate with me, via notes and email if
you have any inquiries. You can set your own criteria and change it whenever you want to.

Although this is an easy tool, the task can still be overwhelming and there will be many
questions to answer.  Please feel free to ask any questions, you will get an honest and
prompt answer to all of them.

Sincerely,

Patricia Knol

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 7, 2008

Fort Myers, FL – Single-family home sales across the Greater Fort Myers area rose again in June for the sixth consecutive month, according to the statistics released by the REALTOR® Association of Greater Fort Myers and the Beach, Inc. Sales of single-family homes rose by 53.2 percent on a year over year basis, with the number of closed sales at 717 compared to 468 last June.

While the median price of a single-family home dropped by 34 percent to $158,000 compared to $239,500 a year ago, it is apparent that buyers are deriving solid value from the properties on the market. Pending sales are up 80.1 percent with 1379 single family homes pending compared to 762 in June 2007.

“Buyers are benefiting from an attractive selection of housing inventory from which to choose along with historically low interest rates. Sales demand in the Greater Fort Myers area is continuing to grow as housing prices return to a more affordable range,” said Ron Carpenter, president of the REALTOR® Association. "We are very pleased with the upward trend in home sales over the past six months and we're expecting that, as prices have become more reasonable, more buyers will realize that now really is a great time to buy a home."
