Fort Myers 2nd in Foreclosures in ’09

In figures recently released by RealtyTrac, the Cape Coral-Fort Myers area was second in the nation in foreclosures during the first half of 2009.  One in every 14 homes in the region was in some stage of the foreclosure process during this timeframe.  Our region only railed the Las Vegas market, where one in every 13 homes was facing foreclosure.

All these foreclosures are creating outstanding buying opportunities for bank-owned property.  Estero foreclosures and Fort Myers foreclosures are very popular with out-of-town 2nd home buyers looking for their own piece of Florida sunshine.
