Current Cape Coral Data?

[Greg Hoffmann]

Hi BP Folks,

I was lucky enough to get in on a new construction build to rent last year in Cape Coral. The prices now are roughly 70% higher. So I feel like I need to do a whole new round of due diligence to see if it still makes sense to pick up another at this new price.

Does anyone have any advice for where to get the most current data on population growth, number of new homes being built and all that good stuff?

Anecdotal info welcome too.

Thanks all, 

-Greg

Hi Greg,

Much of the data you seek can be found in an online search and you'll also find many news stories about the area, and Cape Coral in particular. The hot housing market has generated a lot of interest and coverage that will fill in the gaps with anecdotal information too. My brokerage's research department puts out a monthly market report for Southwest Florida including Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva Islands, Bonita Springs / Estero, Naples and Marco Island. I can email it to you if you'd like to receive it.
