The dry season should start sometime in middle of October. I can rain like crazy in the first part of October. November and December are generally quite dry. 2/3 thirds of the rain comes in the wet season, and 1/3 in the dry season. So it can definitely rain in February and there is lots of sun in July.

Lee county had a 47% increase in resale home prices since last year. Curiously enough, Charlie had no impacton sales even though it hit some areas in Cape Coral pretty hard and of course, Punta Gorda and Captiva Island were devastated. If your Cape home is on a canal, especially one with deep water, your home may have doubled in that time. The Venice nonsense comes from the fact that there are more canals in CC than in Fort Lauderdale or Stockholm or obviously, Venice. The land rush there is wild. Cape Coral is an odd city that has been very slow to develop because of the individual ownership of lots, a nightmare for a developer to accumulate enough to make any sort of impact. There is still no retail to speak of, miserable restaurants, etc, but they are starting to come. List it right now. People are coming down in advance of "season" . August 13th will be the anniversary of Hurricane Charley. I sat in my Fort Myers library watching the tv as we prepared for heavy storms as the hurricane pushed up towards Tampa. We sat in horror when it made an abrupt right turn and headed inland. It was then too late to evacuate. Not really a hurricane, but more like a gigantic tornado that tore inland all the way to Orlando laying waste to all sorts of hurricane lore. My trees were filled with birds(roseate spoonbill, herons, egrets) evacuating from the Ding Darling Sanctuary on Sanibel. They knew what was happening and seeing them huddled in my banyan tree let me know that we would probably be ok. By November, the land rush was on. A triumph of optimism over reason.
