Winter Wonderland, Part 1
Fabulous Summer Rental on the Water
Friends are offering their fabulous house in Lochstead on Coonamessett Pond for rent from June – September. They will rent by the month, or any period greater than that, up to the four months.
With 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, central air, glorious views of the pond – and the pool, beach, and tennis in Lochstead – this is very attractively priced at $5,000 a month. There’s no real estate fee. Email the owners directly: bzorski47@aol.com.
Also wanted to invite you to “like” Falmouth Fine Properties on Facebook, to see the almost daily photos I’m posting of life around town in this most snowalicious winter. It’s a way for me to engage outdoors in a positive way (since the snow is too deep for sledding, and too light for snowperson-making), and one of my coping strategies.
If you’re not a Facebooker, the photos are also on falmouthcolors.com, and on my Falmouth Fine Properties blog.
(I also recommend making chicken soup, going out for lunch with friends, and keeping March 8, when the clocks change, front and center.)
Below are some of the photos that have been online in the last couple of weeks.
Stay warm, make soup, take pictures and post them on Instagram, or send them to me and I’ll post them – and think: March 8, March 8, March 8!

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.
