REAL ESTATE It’s not easy to describe the real estate scene in the Englewood area. We have deed restricted communities, neighborhoods dominated by families, mobile home communities where planned activities keep residents busy day and night, houseboats, and sprawling residences with spectacular views of the water. Whether you’re looking for a lowmaintenance condo on the beach, a family-friendly home with room to play outside, or a luxury home in a gated community, you can find it in the Englewood area. But can you find it for the bargain price you might have seen several years ago? Probably not. Following the statewide trend, the median list price for a home in Englewood has increased, while the inventory, days on the market and percentage of short sales and foreclosures have decreased significantley. Now is the time to build, rent or buy in Englewood. Take a drive around the area and talk to people in a neighborhood you like. Stop in and see one of the area’s Realtors. They are knowledgeable and will help guide you to your perfect place in the sun. PHOTO BY TOM NEWTON PHOTO BY TOM NEWTON 2017 65
