Marco Island Condos for Sale

In the past week, we have seen several good deals come on the market.  Holiday or not, now is still a great time to buy!  Fifteen homes went on the market; here are a few of my pics:

811 Scott Dr. is my #1 choice for deal of the week.  Located in the prestigious Estates area, it's priced at a reasonable $324,900.  Most of the homes in The Estates are in the million dollar range so if you want access to this exclusive neighborhood, here's your chance.  This 3BR/2BA home sits on a large, 1 acre lot and has over 4000 square feet.  It may well be the best deal on the island!  While it needs some updates, for this price, you could turn it into your own private estate.

Another home I really like is 1057 Cottonwood Ct.  We don't often have brand new

Marco Island Old Marco

Inventory is shrinking in Old Marco.  This special neighborhood in the northwest part of Marco Island has a more laid back vibe than other parts of the island.  You can almost fool yourself into believing you're in Key West!  Lots of palm trees everywhere and restaurants within walking distance make this neighborhood feel like a vacation town.  Check out these great listings...

829 Palm St. is a unique, multi-family home that includes three permitted rental units: a 2BR/3BA, 2BR/2BA and 1BR/1BA.  There are huge under-building carports and storage areas, screen porches overlooking the waterway and a boat dock and lift.  Lots of extensive, native foliage too.  All of this for only $849,000.

1101 Edington Place is an amazing buy.  Sitting on a 160'

Marco Island Condos for Sale

There are several reasons why buying before the end of the year could be a great investment.

  1. Tax benefits:

Mortgage Interest Deduction: To take advantage of this deduction for 2012, buy before the end of the year.  Even though your deduction will be small since it will only be on 1 month of interest, it's better than nothing.  You can deduct on any mortgage debt up to one million dollars.

Mortgage Insurance Premium: If you have PMI because your down payment was less that 20%, you may be eligible for a deduction.  The deduction would be on the interest paid on your PMI payments.  The caveat is that your adjusted gross income must be below $100,000.  Incomes over $100,000 will have a reduced deduction of 10% for every $1000 over the

811 Scott Dr. is priced at only $315,000  Situated on a hill with a huge lot, this 3BR/2BA home with 1420 square feet also features a 2 car garage and workshop.  Yes, it needs some updates but for the price, it's hard to go wrong.  Next we have 1621 Copeland.  This house has 5BR/2BA and 2894 square feet all for only $449,000 in the middle of The Estates.  Featuring Waters Bay views, a large, private yard and surrounded by more expensive homes, this home looks like a steal to us.  It's only been
