cape cod real estate: Why 2 MLSs on Cape Cod? - 07/18/08 12:45 PM
Many customers aren't aware, but there are 2 Multiple Listing Services (MLS) on Cape Cod for Cape Cod real estate.  One is the traditional one that has been here since the pilgrims started selling houses between each other, and the other is from "Off-Cape" and is working hard to "annex" the … (2 comments)

cape cod real estate: What makes The Cape Upper or Lower? - 05/24/08 11:14 AM
Every year someone stops in my office with a the question, "What is the Upper Cape?"  There aren't really any traditional explanations.  Most people when asked, will name the towns that are considered the Lower Cape, but they won't be able to tell you why they are called the Upper and Lower … (0 comments)

cape cod real estate: Lets Feng Shui this economy! - 05/20/08 04:00 PM
It seems logical that the word function derives from Feng Shui.  This current business of "feng shui-ing" your villa in order to sell seems as useful as burying Joseph upside down in the front yard.  In Webster's dictionary, one definition of functional is "designed or developed chiefly from the point of … (3 comments)

cape cod real estate: It was a beautiful day on Cape Cod! - 05/18/08 08:30 PM
Well, despite forecasts of rain all day, the sun shone.  I was able to mow the yard, and fix a swing for the kids, and work on the dock, and then watch the Celtics and Red Sox win.
Falmouth is an interesting location.  So often the forecasters predict bad weather and … (2 comments)

cape cod real estate: Pre-foreclosures on Cape Cod (Wareham, MA) - 05/15/08 02:14 PM
Wareham Massachusetts used to be the "gateway" to Cape Cod. When traveling from Boston, Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, one used to have to go through Wareham. Now, the road bypasses Wareham and goes straight to the Bourne Bridge and into Bourne.
Wareham is bounded by Bourne, Carver, Plymouth, Rochester, Middleboro, … (2 comments)

Welfleet & Truro Massachusetts are waaaaayyyy out on Cape Cod. From Falmouth, it can take over an hour to get there (the same time and distance to Boston from Falmouth.) The two towns have a total of only around 5,000 residential properties and well more than half of them are second … (0 comments)

cape cod real estate: Pre-foreclosures on Cape Cod (Brewster, MA) - 05/12/08 06:31 PM
Brewster, Massachusetts is one of the more quiet towns on Cape Cod.  There are good beaches and lots of trees in Brewster, but I have always thought of Brewster as a town on the way to the National Seashore.  Brewster has a few summer developments like Mashpee has New Seabury.  Nickerson … (0 comments)

cape cod real estate: Pre-foreclosures on Cape Cod (Bourne, MA) - 05/12/08 10:14 AM
Bourne, Massachusetts is the "gateway" to Cape Cod.  This term used to be the designation for Wareham, but since Route 495 ends at the Bourne Bridge, Bourne has taken on this designation.  Bourne is also the entrance to the Sagamore Bridge, so it has both accesses to the Cape covered.  Some … (2 comments)

cape cod real estate: Pre-foreclosures on Cape Cod (Harwich, MA) - 05/11/08 09:01 PM
Harwich, Massachusetts is one of the older Cape Cod towns.  There are homes with lead paint and victorian looking exteriors. Harwich looks like other old New England towns, but on Cape Cod.  Harwich has a lot of "old" money and old famlies.  There are almost as many who summer here as … (2 comments)

This week I have received over 50 emails from lead generating website owners who think they have a new idea.  None of them wants to help Cape Cod Real Estate WebSite.  They only want me to "join" their wonderful, best of, completely the best, new idea.  (This one BIG reason I founded … (6 comments)
