Yarmouth Seaside Festival

Fireworks off of Seagull Beach on Sunday Night

Columbus Day Weekend is upon us, and in our town that means the yearly Yarmouth Seaside Festival.  Now in its 37th year, the festival draws scores of visitors to a variety of events.  There are festival grounds with crafters, exhibits, music, food, and amusements.  Off site, throughout the weekend you can find kayak races, a 5K road-race, fireworks, pie-eating contests, and a beach bonfire.  If you're planning to be in the area, stop by to check it out.  If you're not planning to come - think about it.  The forecast looks good, and fall on Cape Cod is a wonderful time of year.

So if you're gonna find a home, go to www.CapeCodRealEstateApp.com.  See how it feels.  Go mobile.

No Money Down!

Did you know that you can buy a home with ZERO money down??  It's true.  All of Cape Cod is classified as a "Rural Development" area by the USDA.  Qualified buyers - meeting credit and income guidelines - are eligible to finance 100% of their purchase, with a terrific rate.  In the past 12 months, we've helped 4 families become homeowners through this program, and have another taking ownership next week.  If you'd like to learn more about your buying options, call me at 774-268-9012.  I'll put you in touch with a lender who will point you in the right direction.

Sales Trending Down in Yarmouth

Sales of Single-Family Homes in December declined in Yarmouth for the 3rd straight month.  More importantly, the number of homes placed under agreement declined to a 12-month low of 16 properties - or just more than 1/2 the number from December of 2012.  This number is especially important because it is a key indicator of future sales, meaning that 2014 is likely to start on a sour note for those looking to sell.

   While inventory declined as well, there is still a 7.3 month supply of available homes, meaning that we are      still in a slight buyer's market.  If you are in the market to buy, now is still a good opportunity.
