Why I Like Falmouth! - 02/18/08 08:43 PM
There is a lot to like about Falmouth, MA, but tonight I appreciate one aspect of living in this seaside community on the upper part of Cape Cod.
Yes, it's easy to like Falmouth because it has more miles of coastline that any other town on the Cape, it has great beaches, a vibrant business community, a rich arts scene, or an outstanding school system. But the aspect of Falmouth that I am appreciating at the moment is its location on the upper Cape and its proximity to off-Cape cities like Boston and Providence.
An evening in either city is just over an hour away. It's great be able … (0 comments)

Open House Blitz - 02/18/08 05:44 AM
This past weekend our office had an "open house blitz" in Falmouth, MA. There have been some interesting results. We did open houses on both Saturday and Sunday from 9-11, 12-2, and 3-5 or about 10 open houses over the 2-day period. The weather was good both mornings with clouds taking over about 1:00 PM on Sunday afternoon.
We promoted the open houses with mailings to known buyers, mailings and e-mails to area agents, in the local newspaper and on various websites.
On Saturday, there were very few people who just dropped-in. They came because they were told about the open … (4 comments)

First-time Home Buyers Flood Upper Cape - 02/18/08 04:58 AM
At the NAR convention in Las Vegas last November, people were predicting a tsunami of first-time home buyers who have been sitting things out for the past two years to arrive in 2008. If the past two months on Cape Cod as any indication of things to come, they were correct.
Buyers looking to purchase their first home on Cape Cod have come out of the woodwork. In 2006 there were no homes under $300,000 on the Cape, today there are a handful of fixer-uppers under $200,000. When these houses are listed on the MLS, phones literally jump off the hook. On … (4 comments)
