We are just about at the end of the high season for condo sales in southwest Florida, so many sellers have reduced their prices.  But, I don’t think you can do better than you can at The Residences at Coconut Point or The Meadows in Estero, where new units are available at astonishing discounts from their original prices.  And, they are selling!

At The Residences, current prices start at $149,900, which will buy you a one bedroom unit that was originally priced in the $400,000s.  Unit prices go up based on square footage to just $299,900 for three bedroom units at about 2,000 square feet.  Original prices for the latter were in the $800,000s.  First come, first served is important here, because they are not marking up prices for location or best views.

The condo units at The Residences were built for the luxury market and have upscale finishes such as granite counter tops in the kitchens and marble tops in the bathrooms.  Ceilings are ten feet high and all doors are 8-foot solid core.  Security is excellent and residents of the five buildings and the units over Fashion Drive shops share use of a splendid large pool and spa, community room, and fitness center.  Restaurants and shops of all kinds are just steps away, as is a large Target store with groeries and a 12-screen cinema.  Call the sales center at 239 948 1347.  Let them know you learned about what they’re selling on this blog, please.

Also built for the luxury market, the condos at The Meadows are over 2,000 sq. ft. and priced  from $190,000 to $215,000. Second floor units are the largest, with 3 bedrooms.  All units have two-car garages.  Prices are based on size and flooring: units with tile throughout the living areas instead of carpet cost $5,000 more and 2nd-floor units cost $20,000 more than 1st floor units.  The developer is offering buyers 3% of the purchase price toward closing costs.  The last time I checked, there were ten units still available and some other special incentives.

You can’t walk to the Coconut Point Mall from The Meadows, and there are no golf course or expansive views.  But you can drive to the mall in two minutes and The Meadows offers a pool, fitness center, billards, and clubhouse with a catering kitchen.  It is located just off Rt. 41.  Call the sales office at 239 947 1600.  Let them know you learned about what they’re selling on this blog, please.
