Falmouth Colors: Winter Irony, 2/11/15
Winter’s Impact on Real Estate
This is certainly turning out to be a challenging winter. It started off with almost no snow at all, but the last couple of weeks – wow, we’re breaking records!
Here are some great photos from Cape Cod Wave during the Juno blizzard.
Interestingly (or at least to me), the inventory of homes for sale in Falmouth is down by about 25% from where it’s been for the last several YEARS. I’m seeing homes that have been on the market for several months go under agreement. I’m guessing that buyers who saw homes in the fall and early winter are using snow-related time at home to negotiate on homes that they’d already seen.
A lot of new homes are not coming on the market, and this probably is weather-related. If the tension between significantly fewer homes available for sale and sparse new inventory continues, there’s only one result: prices go up. Time will tell. For right now, it’s still a good time for buyers.

I have two friends who are crow aficionados. One is my friend John Brady, a writer whose book on Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner will be published this year. Look for it – it reveals much that’s not well-known about the romance they shared.
I thought that Jack knew everything about crows until I discovered that my friend Marcy actually “talks” to crows – in their language! She’s a long-time avid birder, and has this amazing talent of calling the crows, and then cawing back and forth with them. It’s incredible! Now when I see crows, I see them a little differently. At Quissett Harbor last week, the only sound was of the crows.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
