Even the Financial Times Says It's Time To Buy on Cape Cod

Even the Financial Times says its time to buy on Cape Cod. The article titled "In Cape Cod We Trust" highlights that the time of opportunity is now. My RE/MAX Classic colleague, Thom Schoepfer, is quoted in the article. Thom said, “The Cape holds a place in the hearts and minds of people and there’s real value here. You get it from personal enjoyment and use, income if you rent your home out and appreciation if you hang on to it.”

It's a good read. The FT says that the drop in house prices in desirable communities, combined with historically low interest rates, has created a modest boom in the area’s holiday property market. “It’s all those magical stars aligning,” says Thom. Go the the Financial Times to read the article.

Dennis Showings

Yesterday I showed a few homes in Dennis and Dennisport to a client and his teenage kids. I enjoy showings that include teenage kids since they seem to love the hunt. The homes were all in the $200's. They ranged from a pristine 3 bedroom cottage to a large home that should have been represented as a tear down on an acre-plus pondfront lot.

Closing Today - Oceanside Building Lot

I had a closing today on an oceanside half acre building lot, near Minister's Pond in Eastham. It occurred to me that there were only 4 lots sold this year in Eastham, and I sold 3 of them. Maureen, my associate, was the listing agent for the other lot. So, RE/MAX Classic sold 100% of the lots. Not bad.
