Waterfront Homes in Cypress Cay Waterfront homes are abundant in Cypress Cay.  The community is centered around a beautiful lake.  Water is abundant in Southwest Florida and Cypress Cay is no exception.  What is your preference when it comes to the setting for your home?  There are those who prefer not to be on the water for safety concerns.  If you have small children you may worry that it will be difficult to watch them and keep them safe.  Still others worry about the possibility of alligators or snakes. For a great many though a lake means tranquility.  I personally fall in to this category.  A dedicated water person is soothed whenever they gaze out over the ripples that glisten in the sunlight.  Take a look at the waterfront homes in Cypress Cay.  Regardless of the size and style ... 12/02/2010

  Foreclosures in Cypress Cay The market for foreclosures in Cypress Cay has been very strong.  This is true for most foreclosures since people are quick to recognize the value they receive but it is especially true here.  Unfortunately it was built at the time when values were at their peak and as a result anyone needing to sell has been forced in to a distressed sale.   What sets Cypress Cay apart other than price?  As I see it the answer is value.  Cypress Cay is not a gated community but has the feel of one.  It has all the integrity you expect with a community pool and a play area for children but does not carry with it the costs associated with most gated communities.  Does this sound like a place you would like to live.  Take a look at the foreclosures in Cypress Cay and see if ... 11/01/2010

  Short Sales in Cypress Cay I have been fortunate to have sold one of the first short sales in Cypress Cay.  The short sale I closed was completed at a time when few were being done.  The process was new to most people and uncommon for the banks.  There has been a huge movement on the part of the banks to make short sales more common in an effort to stave off foreclosures.  They have found out that the foreclosure process is very time consuming and as a result very costly.  Not only do they have to carry the property with no income from it for extended periods of time but the homes sit empty and most of the time without electric or ventilation leading to accelerated deterioration and declining values.  The short sale process can still be difficult but due to a shift in banks' attitude... 10/18/2010

    Bank Owned Homes in Cypress Cay   With just a little patience you could purchase a bank owned home in Cypress Cay.  If you have an interest in doing that it is best to hook up with a Realtor right away.  Many people like to fly under the radar and not feel obligated to someone until they find a home that peaks their interest.  While there seems to be no limit to the information that is available through the Internet and elsewhere there is no reason to go it on your own.  As a buyer, you are missing the boat if you do not engage a Realtor from the very beginning.  Obviously, this is self serving but I say this without regard for personal gain.  Realtors are paid from the seller’s proceeds.  They would argue that the arrangement is unfair but nonetheless it is the way that it is done.... 09/27/2010
