For as slow as March was, April has more than made up for it. Actually, for the first 4 months of 2010, Sanibel Island and Captiva Island have been busy. Sanibel Island has seen the inventory go down and the number of houses and condos sold and under contract go up! The prices, while still low, are holding a bit more than before. We have not started to see price increases and the number of price reductions has slowed. Below is a chart of the 2010 activity on both Sanibel Island and Captiva Island.
