Ole Cape Cod

School is officially out here in Sandwich, MA (had some extra days due to our winter storms....one right after another), but no complaining here summer has begun....here on the Cape.  The bridges have gone back to there 2 mile back-up to get to The Cape and we have 2 plus mile back-ups to get off Cape.  It's normal life here on Cape Cod and we are used to it.  We locals know the back roads....and often joke about the "tunnel" short-cut....{there is no tunnel short cut} LOL.   

Real estate is strong here. There is something for everyone on the Cape.  All price ranges.  Such a beautiful place to live all year long.  Each season by the ocean is such a spectacular sight to experience. 

Are you interested in viewing homes on Ole Cape Cod?  Give me a jingle....let me know how I can help you.  I also serve the greater South Shore area and the Islands. 

Happy healthy, and safe Summer!!!

Cape Cod and the South Shore Real Estate Market/ What's happening you ask?

We are coming to a close on our Spring real estate market and entering our Summer market.  What are we real estate agents experiencing in this 2013 market?  Well one trend is supply is low and demand is high, but.....this is not the case in all towns here in Massachusettes.  When this trend does happen where supply is low but there are eager buyers out there ready to purchase a home the seller gets multiple offers on their home.  No doubt this is stressfull for the buyer(s)...knowing their offer is up against other offers.  So what should a buyer consider when putting in their offer, knowing there are other offers on the table?  Well in my professional opinion a buyer should carefully consider their offer:  if this is the home....you want....put your highest and best offer on paper.....don't toy with the seller, (they are stressed too with the multiple offers believe me).  With an offer however it's not always the price that is the determining factor with the seller....it counts yes...but there are other aspects to the offer to consider.  Are there contingencies?  Can the seller come to an agreement with those contingencies?  Closing dates....earnest monies down....does buyer have a home to sell?  Basically which offer seems the strongest on paper a seller will consider that offer from the others on the table.  It's been a challenging market for about six years now.  It is a stronger market now....rates are still quite low......there are many mortgage products for the consumer to explore which is best for their situation.  I am excited for my buyers and sellers, there is a buyer out there for you.....and buyer there is a "home sweet home" out there for you!!

Sandwich Massachusettes

Hello folks, just an update of our beautiful Cape Cod town of Sandwich, MA....after the Blizzard named Nemo, The Cape is getting back to normal.  Tomorrow will be one week since the storm hit us and lasted into the next day.  The town of Sandwich had no school for the whole week.  These missed school days will be made up at the end of the school year.  Sorry kiddos I know how you feel. :( 
Efforts by the utility companies and town plow forces, and private plow contractors did an amazing job...getting this town back on it's feet in a speedy fashion.  There was some beach erosion on the Cape...and lots of scrub pines down.  Nature did show how fierce it can be, but people are strong and work together, and the town of Sandwich and Cape Cod as a whole is recovering fast.  Thank you God!

Only got some very local pics due to people were "banned" my the states officials from driving till roads were cleared.

Some January news for the realestate market.

• If you have happened to be watching the world news this evening, their report on the housing market seemed very upbeat and positive.  Well it is in one aspect.  More homes were sold last year nation-wide since 2006-07.    On the other hand....there are less homes on the market for sale...regular sale....not forclosurers.  Forclosurers are still happening each and every day.  The good news is if you are considering  selling your home.....on your own accord..meaning you are not being forced too sell due to forclosurer and you are not "upside down on your mortgage"......the worth of your home has gone up...some percentages.  Give us a call at MJ & Associates to help you.  We can give you our professional realestate advice  on how much your home is worth....some selling strategies....home-stageing advice, and all the realestate services we provide.  
• Be safe during these winter months.

It's a lovely January Sunday.  For January it is extremely mild.  This however will change by this evening, but will enjoy it while it lasts. I love residing here on "The Cape"  As Cape Codders we do experience milder winters than our near neighbors over "the bridge".  I have always heard that but now I am witnessing it first hand.  We have escaped two snow falls so far.  When we do get snow it seems for the most part we get much less.  This works out fine for the Mr. and me.  We love New England...and Massachusetts.  When we do get snow....I will say it is a beauty to behold. 

If a home on Cape Cod is something you are thinking about...let me help you, you're gonna love it here.

I am very positive when it comes to realestate. In the market today there is something for everyone. I have featured below one bungalow, a seaside cottage, a cape style home on Cape Cod. Prices are good and fair for the buyer. Interest rates still at an all time low. Learn about which mortgage products are fitting for your realestate needs.

Happy New Year
