1 CommentPunta Gorda, FL Home Ownership
Punta Gorda, Florida has the second highest home ownership rate in the nation at 79.7% of homes occupied by the home owner (first place 79.8% was Monroe, MI).
You too, can be an owner of a home in Punta Gorda, FL! Prices are great and there are plenty of properties from which to choose. While many areas of Florida and around the country have suffered from foreclosures and short sale, and the Charlotte County area has had its share, Punta Gorda and Charlotte County, which includes Port Charlotte, Rotonda and South Gulf Cove has been hurt less than other areas. This is because when the prices fell, many owners had bought their homes with cash from a sale up north. So buyers can get a great deal because the overall prices have fallen, but they can move to a neighborhood that is still vibrant.
Consider Punta Gorda and Charlotte County when you look into Florida property.

Murdock Village Music Park
An interesting proposal has been made for part of the property in Murdock Village. Punta Gorda resident and long-time music promoter, Jay Goldberg, has proposed a Theater/Music Park to rival Branson, MO and to create up to 6,800 jobs. If this proposal can come to fruition, Charlotte County will become well known around the country and the world as a major tourist destination. The value of homes and real property in Charlotte County and the City of Punta Gorda as well as Port Charlotte, North Port and Rotonda will rebound and appreciate well.
Adverse Possession
A mortgage broker in Ft. Lauderdale is using an old Florida stature from 1869 to save abandoned homes and may face consequences. Using the a statute called adverse possession, common in all 50 states, the broker is finding homes that have been designated by the county as a “public nuisance”. He then cleans up the home, pays the taxes and rents the properties for low cost to needy but responsible tenants. He has made it clear to the tenants that he is not the owner of the property in a clause in the lease. They are just happy to have a place to live.
The adverse possession stature requires that a property be maintained openly and continuously for a period of at least seven years. This means cleaning it up, paying taxes and utilities and using it as one’s own.
Many owners of adjacent and nearby properties are very happy with the new tenants and feel it makes the neighborhood safer, more attractive and helps property values. Local authorities disagree and the broker is scheduled to go on trial in December (2010) in a test case of the statute. The broker faces up to 15 years in jail.
If owners and banks do not take responsibility for abandoned properties, someone must. The towns consider them a problem but are doing nothing. More people should do as this man has. Neighbors should form committees to clean up these homes and help their neighborhoods. And towns, cities, counties and states should cooperate by allowing them to do so. Once a property has been designated a nuisance, governments should protect individuals or committees which maintain these derelict properties. They should protect any investment, allowing a lien on the property for taxes and expenses.

The Northport-Bradenton-Sarasota Statistical Area became official recently when the Office of Management and Budget, an office of the US Federal Government, released its bulletin on the subject.
The City of North Port, FL has increased its population to become the largest city in Sarasota County, exceeding the population of both Sarasota and Venice in Sarasota County and Bradenton in Manatee County.
While we await the 2010 Census results for the area, it is expected that North Port has grown even larger. In 2009, the population of North Port FL had exceeded 55,000 people. By contrast, Bradenton was just over 54,000, Sarasota was a little over 53,000 and Venice just short of 22,000. North Port, FL, with the area’s highest population is ranked first in the government MSA title.
Having top billing in the MSA name is more than just an honor. When corporations look at areas to consider when relocating, the MSA holds weight. North Port stands to gain jobs and prestige among head hunters and corporate CEOs.
