Come with Me to Work, Part 1

May 27, 2016 by Nadine

The current market still has a relative lack of listings. It’s discouraging for buyers, and prices are creeping up – a natural consequence of not having enough listings. Most of my buyers are finding their perfect home, but this requires a little more flexibility than in the past.

Come with me and see some homes in a variety of price ranges that are on my “hit parade”.

#21603728
426 Pinecrest Beach Drive, Falmouth
$329,900

This offers a lot of space, convenience, and location for the money. With 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, it feels like more space than the 1,148 s.f. would lead you to believe. The two-car garage is almost unheard of in this price range and is a tremendous asset for year-round buyers. The house is set sideways to the road, so there’s a surprising amount of privacy and views from inside. In addition, there’s lovely Jenkins Pond, a huge draw for those who know it.

#21603472
11 Reynolds Street, Falmouth
$418,900

In marvelous Maravista, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,459 s.f. gambrel has more living area than the usual Maravista cottage because all the bedrooms are on the second floor. The typical home in this neighborhood has 2 small bedrooms on the first floor and 2 large bedrooms on the second floor. This floor plan is different and very pleasing. In addition, this is only a half mile to Bristol Beach and is in the new sewer district, both distinct advantages.

When Is Spring Not the Spring?

May 26, 2016 by Nadine

I hope you’ve been enjoying this run of nice weather! March was really lovely, and I got a lot of major re-landscaping done, which benefited from all the rains in April.

May has been prime for biking – not too hot, not too cold, just right! Whenever I can, I combine errands, work, and biking – it really makes everything so enjoyable. Biking to vote was a particular pleasure. I’m also biking when I have enough time to exercise class at 241 Fitness and to yoga at the new The Yoga Collaborative in North Falmouth. The one time I biked to an actual showing of one of my listings, honestly I practically heard angels singing.

With Memorial Day Weekend upon us, the season begins. This is not necessarily the real estate season, however. Traditionally, our season is February, March, and April, when people commit to finding a house for the summer. Each subsequent quarter is usually a little bit slower, culminating in the 4th quarter being the slowest. Meteorological spring is not real estate spring.

2015 was an anomaly, when the spring season was great and it accelerated from there. So my 4th quarter was probably the best I’ve ever had. My business did reflect the general market; Cape Cod real estate for the last year and a half has been robust. I sense things slowing down now, and we’ll see if we’ll settle into a more normal market.

4 Pond Road, Falmouth
$799,900

Consistent with the market, this one came and went in one day. I met the Sellers when I listed a home across the pond last summer and we’d been talking since about listing their home. It’s a sweet house in a very sweet spot! On the west side of Siders Pond, the frontage is special for kayaking, sailing your Sunfish and yes, even swimming – not to mention lollygagging in the hammock watching the sun sparkle off the wavelets.

The location is coveted, with Main Street an easy walk in one direction, the bike path practically at the end of the street, and Surf Drive Beach just down the road.

The house is vintage 1945, with both the charm and the challenges that go with that. I worried that Buyers would complain about the steam heat, the original kitchen and baths, or the lack of central air, but fortunately the few people who saw the house loved everything about it. One family personified the buyer qualities mentioned previously: they came, they saw, and they conquered. In other words – they were the first appointment, they made an immediate full price offer, and their paperwork was pristine. At the end of April, they will be the appreciative new owners of 4 Pond Road.

#21600179

19 Narragansett Street, Maravista

$425,000

Narragansett is a comfortable home in great condition. Half a mile to Bristol Beach and with Little Pond just a few houses away, the house has everything good going for it – including a new sewer next year!

#21510895
131 Alcott Road, East Falmouth
$429,000

Alcott is in Great Harbors, one of the few communities in Falmouth that offers a clubhouse, swimming pool, and a dock. It’s a fun, family vibe at a minimal annual cost. This house has been completely redone and feels much bigger than the 1100 square feet it’s listed at.

#21511091
132 Sanddollar Circle, East Falmouth
$489,900

Sanddollar has had the benefit of a $200,000 makeover. It shows really well! Between the superior condition, ideal location within Great Harbors and easy maintenance this is a shoo-in for primary home, vacation home, or summer rentals.

Come With Me to Work, Part 1

Friends of mine from college called me last week to talk about purchasing an investment property. Their reasoning was because returns are so skimpy in the stock market, that they’d have more upside potential from a rental home.

I selected homes that are in desirable locations for tenants and that also have renovation potential. We had a good lunch, strapped on our running shoes, and looked at six properties. These houses all had possibilities:

#21509495
75 Lakeview Ave, Falmouth
$439,900

Lakeview is young, well-built, has central air and is downtown near the ferry parking lot. The possible downsides are that the house is next to the middle school and has a house very close to the rear of the property.

#21601310
23 Evangeline Road, Falmouth
$499,000

Evangeline Road is in a prime Quissett location for Woods Hole scientists, and the house is in the woods with lots of privacy. It’s not been updated, but academics seem to care less about that than other tenants. A big plus is the quick bike ride to the private and gorgeous MBL Beach access.

#21600113
43 Cachalot Lane, Falmouth
$499,000

Cachalot has curb appeal! It’s got 4 bedrooms and 2 baths – but is small and perfectly set up for roommates, with 2 bedrooms up and 2 down, and a family room on each level. Near Woodneck Beach, the bike path and downtown, you really can do your day by pedal. How cool is that?
