Property Scout for Mary Beth

Cape Coral, Quietly.

Sixteen pool homes under $325k, one genuinely new listing, a short sale worth a second look, and a four-bedroom that shouldn't be possible at this price.

Short sale (4547 SE 11th)
What I am seeing: Inventory is concentrated in SE Cape (33904) and NE Cape (33990). SW priority areas (33914, 33991) have five homes in the mix. All are 3bd/2ba except one standout 4-bedroom at an undisclosed NW address. No price drops surfaced this morning, but three houses are holding open houses today. The 4547 SE 11th short sale is the only motivated-seller flag on the board. Worth watching bank approval timing if the price feels thin.

The story here is math: this is the only home under $280k that also gives you 1,700-plus square feet. Every other sub-$300k listing today is tighter on space. If the roof, plumbing, and AC check out on inspection, this is the value play of the morning.

Scout's Note
This is the turnkey-done-for-you play. Listing language reads like a seller who renovated with intent and priced to move. The above-ground pool line is the thing to verify. The filter says private pool, but an above-ground setup has different longevity economics. Ask the agent what above-ground means here before the offer.

Scout's Note
Undisclosed addresses usually mean one of two things: a celebrity-adjacent seller, or more commonly, a probate or estate sale where the listing agent is limiting drive-bys. Either way, the math is loud: 4 bedrooms, 2,000-plus sqft, under $305k, no HOA. Call the listing agent directly to get the street address and walk it with clear eyes.

Scout's Note
Short sales are a patience game. The list price is a suggestion until the lender signs off, which can run 60 to 120 days. The upside: owned solar and impact windows at under $300k in SE Cape is a serious package. If you can stomach the timeline, this is worth a tour today while the open house is live. Bring a flashlight and look at the roof.

Scout's Note
The SW Cape filter is where you'd rather be, and this is the only home that hits all three: under $300k, above 1,700 sqft, and 33914. The listing description is generic enough that it's worth calling to get specifics. What year was the roof replaced, is it on city water, was it affected by Ian. If the answers are clean, this is your SW Cape anchor.

Scout's Note
33991 is further inland than 33914 but still considered SW. Square footage is tighter here than pick 05, but the location filter wins for some buyers. Worth a drive-by to see what the neighborhood feels like at this price. The homes around it will tell you more than the photos will.

Scout's Note
"No flooding from any storms" is the tell here. Post-Ian Cape Coral buyers are paying a premium for homes that cleared the hurricane record, and this listing leads with it. Downtown-adjacent SE Cape at $280k with an active open house is a legitimate Saturday morning. Verify the flood statement with an elevation certificate before getting attached.

Scout's Note
Homes priced exactly at a round number ($325k) are often negotiable down. Sellers set the ceiling knowing offers come in lower. If you love the location and the walk-through, there's usually 3 to 5 percent of wiggle room on a listing like this. The sqft is the limiting factor, smaller than picks 03 and 05, so make the offer reflect that.
