Spring Time on Cape Cod

It's Spring officially Spring time in New England.  We are just starting to see green buds on the trees.  The daffodils are in full bloom along with other early ground growing colorful blooms. 

We are all getting our Spring Cleaning done in our homes.  Oh the dust bunnies, and fireplace ashes.  We are opening up the windows and letting the cool air get rid of "old man winter's" stale air.  Don't you just love this time of year of hope and new-ness?

The Spring real estate market is well upon us.  Are you thinking of selling?  Are you getting ready to purchase your first home?  Give me a call.  I would love to help you with this big choice you are about to make.  Our office here at MJ & Associates RE. is a full service real estate office.  We will walk you thru from start to finish with your real estate needs. 

Have a wonderful Spring.   Karen

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.
