south yarmouth: FANNIE, FREDDIE KILL AGAIN - PACE PROGRAM SCARES THEM
- 07/09/10 07:05 AM
Fannie, Freddie Kill Again - PACE Program Scares Them This is indeed unfortunate. Fannie and Freddie, the evil twins of social engineering excess, have reached from the crypt to destroy a really useful program - PACE, which allows property owners to pay for the cost of energy improvements to their homes or businesses through an additional charge on their property tax. Yes, Fannie and Freddie kill again - PACE program scares them!! Read the story, Fannie, Freddie Kill PACE Program, by clicking the link. Most people never heard of this program, because it was not well publicized, and only available … (3 comments)
south yarmouth: FOREST ROAD REPAVING COMPLETE EXCEPT FOR PAINTING THE LINES
- 06/18/10 07:59 AM
FOREST ROAD REPAVING COMPLETE EXCEPT FOR PAINTING THE LINES The repaving of Forest Road in South Yarmouth is complete except for painting the lines, according to the Town of Yarmouth Highway Department, contacted earlier today. Now, it might not be paved in the sense that we all expect paving to be. You know, that smooth blacktop, paved kind of look. This looks more like the oil and stone look - it's certainly much noisier in the car when you drive on it, but it doesn't seem too different when cars pass by. It seems like it's going to create more tire … (0 comments)
south yarmouth: ON CAPE COD THE MOVE TO ASSISTED LIVING CREATES GOOD LISTINGS
- 06/02/10 03:28 AM
ON CAPE COD THE MOVE TO ASSISTED LIVING CREATES GOOD LISTINGS During yesterday's MLS Tour in Yarmouth, here on Cape Cod, I was once again reminded how the move to assisted living creates good listings for all of us. Of the twelve listings on tour, four were the result of a move to assisted living. An extended stay in one of the great assisted living facilities here on Cape Cod is fairly expensive, whether the facility is in Yarmouth or the neighboring towns of Barnstable, Dennis, Harwich Brewster, Chatham or Orleans, averaging $50,000 to $60,000 per year. Someone who can afford … (0 comments)
south yarmouth: On Cape Cod, In South Yarmouth, Jobs Are Scarce But Real Estate is an Opportunity
- 05/21/10 08:10 AM
On Cape Cod, In South Yarmouth, Jobs Are Scarce But Real Estate is an Opportunity Here in South Yarmouth, by the little Dancing Brook in the middle of Cape Cod, it's like the rest of the country - jobs are scarce and real estate is an opportunity. Having been born and raised on Cape Cod, I have been immersed in the development and selling of real estate on Cape Cod since infancy. My Dad was a broker in Hyannis since way before I was born, and through my childhood he bought a land with buddies, subdivided and sold it off. In elementary … (2 comments)
south yarmouth: Even Though My Cape Cod Favorite Was Eliminated, American Idol is a Great Story, and We Are A GREAT PEOPLE
- 05/19/10 03:50 PM
Even Though My Cape Cod Favorite Was Eliminated, American Idol is a Great Story, and We Are A GREAT PEOPLE I live on Cape Cod, in South Yarmouth, a hop skip and jump away from the home of American Idol contestant Siobhan Magnus, who lives in the town where I grew up. On Route 28, a little bit south of here, the Picadilly Deli had a "vote Siobhan" sign in front of the restaurant. Those signs were all over the place a few weeks ago. Having a top ten American Idol contestant from your area is a big deal -- even … (0 comments)
south yarmouth: THOSE WACKY CRAIGSLIST SCAMMERS TAKE ON CAPE COD REAL ESTATE
- 05/12/10 02:40 PM
You have to give them credit for creatively using new technology that most of our fellow real estate brokers find baffling. Those wacky Craigslist scammers are taking on Cape Cod real estate, working hard and presumably making more money off their "listings" than the legitimate listing agents would - if we could only sell the properties!! The scam is a twist on an old classic - find something desirable, offer it at an unbelievable price and get a small down payment. It's breathtakingly simple, and so easy to pull off. Like every good scam it takes advantage of the greed of … (2 comments)
south yarmouth: REAL ESTATE SALES CLIMB DRAMATICALLY ON CAPE COD
- 05/06/10 12:12 PM
REAL ESTATE SALES CLIMB DRAMATICALLY ON CAPE COD Real estate sales climb dramatically on Cape Cod? Are we in the middle of a 'dead cat bounce' or is there a recovery going on? Traffic going through the real estate offices in West Yarmouth, South Yarmouth, West Dennis, South Dennis, Yarmouthport, in fact all over Cape Cod, is nil. There is very little in the pipeline. Take a look through the Cape and Island Association of Realtors MLS. Get into the sales, and compare sale prices to assessed values, then see how many properties on the market are properly priced. I did a one … (2 comments)
south yarmouth: OH NO, MY CAT'S SICK ... AND IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT.
- 05/06/10 05:00 AM
Oh no, My Cat's Sick ... and it's Saturday Night. To pet owners there's nothing worse than one of our beloved animals getting sick, unless it's when the cat gets sick ... and it's Saturday night. This really unnerving horror happened to us this past weekend - my beautiful Harry, who I call my 'Google' cat (put "cat" into Google and Harry is what shows up!!) was acting weird when we woke up on Saturday morning. He's usually bright and chipper, sitting on my chest, purring and occasionally giving me a gentle 'rowf' to let me know it's time to feed … (6 comments)
south yarmouth: A ROSE OF SHARON COMPLETES THE CIRCLE OF LIFE ON CAPE COD
- 04/28/10 03:21 PM
A Rose of Sharon completes the Circle of Life on Cape Cod. We're new in our little neighborhood, having moved to our little Dancing Brook ranch in Brookhaven (that’s in South Yarmouth, on Cape Cod) only three years ago. We haven’t met a lot of folks in the neighborhood, this being New England and all, although we have tried. One of the people we did meet I'll call "Laurie". She’s an older woman (I’m pretty sure she said she’s in her late eighties) who accomplishes more in a day than most people do in a week and is always looking for … (5 comments)
south yarmouth: NOT ALL REAL ESTATE IN SOUTH YARMOUTH INVOLVES ASSISTED LIVING
- 04/26/10 08:14 AM
NOT ALL REAL ESTATE IN SOUTH YARMOUTH INVOLVES ASSISTED LIVING Sometimes it seems that every real estate transaction in South Yarmouth involves assisted living, but they don't, at least not directly. There have been stories about people who move here for other reasons. The real estate stock in South Yarmouth contains a lot of affordable ranches built for retirees (see my previous article on Yarmouth). These well built homes continue to attract retirees, though many have turned into second homes for metropolitan Boston residents. These second homes may become retirement homes in the future, amd become involved with the assisted living … (0 comments)
south yarmouth: A TALE OF TWO LIVES: ASSISTED LIVING ON CAPE COD CAN BE DIFFICULT FOR MOM & DAD
- 04/23/10 08:12 AM
A TALE OF TWO LIVES: ASSISTED LIVING ON CAPE COD CAN BE DIFFICULT FOR MOM & DAD I was in the front yard, tending to the quickly blooming flowers and leafing bushes when a gentleman I had never me came into view, walking slowly with a cane. When he got within conversation distance, "Hi, how are you doing? The gardens are looking good. I haven't met you - my name is Harry. I live over there, next street over." In our little neighborhood on Cape Cod in South Yarmouth, the neighborhoods are fairly stable - usually homeowners leave by ambulance and … (0 comments)
south yarmouth: BY THE LITTLE DANCING BROOK, IN SOUTH YARMOUTH, ON CAPE COD, THE RANCHES ARE IN BLOOM
- 04/16/10 07:05 AM
BY THE LITTLE DANCING BROOK, IN SOUTH YARMOUTH, ON CAPE COD, THE RANCHES ARE IN BLOOM The type of neighborhood where we live, near the crossing of Forest and Winslow Gray, north of 28, with it's profusion of well kept ranches, really isn't typical for Cape Cod (where there are a lot of custom Capes), though there some in West Yarmouth, South Yarmouth, South Dennis, East Dennis and in nearby Centerville. The grand daddy of all Cape ranch neighborhoods, Captain's Village, is four streets north of us. At this time of year, when the flowers have started to bloom, bushes and … (2 comments)
