massachusetts: 5% overpriced is 5% too much to ask
- 09/14/13 05:57 AM
Right now, in our market, the data is pretty darn clear: If you price your home 5% or more too high, you won't get a deal, and you may not get any offers.
Lots of homes are selling quickly for a sales price within 5% of their most recent asking price. Sometimes that asking price is for homes that are brand new to the market; sometimes that price is the last asking price after a price reduction. Either way, when a seller's price is within 5% of buyers' perceived value, the house sells. In competitive price ranges, buyers are showing … (13 comments)
massachusetts: PASS video - living on the South Shore
- 09/12/13 07:50 AM

massachusetts: 8 Border Street, Scituate
- 08/28/13 03:38 AM
8 Border St, Scituate This custom-designed, shingle style estate is an unusually attractive new home. The interior is still being completed, so except for the few kitchen photos below, I don't have photos of the inside yet. What is obvious is that the interior is stunning. The level of detail in the kitchen is extremely high. The rest of the home exudes outstanding craftsmanship and quality in every inch of this Falconi-built home. 8 Border Street, Scituate, is masterfully set in a private retreat. I am particularly fond of the view of the front lawn from the house. Looking … (4 comments)

massachusetts: A sailor's morning on Cape Cod
- 08/10/13 10:22 AM
A sailor's morning on Cape Cod I've had the pleasure of sailing many of the weekends this summer. I'll go anytime, anywhere, and do any job on the boat. Just ask me. There's too much good to write it all out. Wet your whistle on this tidbit. Short enough for Vine, long enough to make you want to hoist the sails and go. IMO. This is the Wianno 25 I crewed on two Saturdays this summer. New England has one of the finest sailing seasons anywhere. I'm biased: I've been sailing here a long time. When you get here, find yourself … (8 comments)
