42 Clipper Lane, Falmouth
$995,000
Here’s a renovated home in the heart of downtown. It shows well, especially the kitchen, which is a “wow”. There are lots of spaces for kids and friends to be hanging out, including the hot tub and fire pit off the rear deck. Although the yard is not big, it’s enough, and because of the way the other streets and yards intersect, there is the benefit of extra space and privacy that’s very pleasant. One of my buyers made a cash offer of $950,000 that was rejected. We’ll see if someone else offers more, or if this is a case of an off-Cape seller mistakenly thinking our market is the same as the Boston area market, where apparently a seller can ask any price and will receive multiple bids. Cape buyers will pay fair prices, but rarely will they pay more than they feel a home is worth.

4 Spinnaker Lane, Falmouth
$1,300,000
Again, this is in a fabulous location, on the corner of Clinton and Spinnaker, so it’s definitely downtown AND has deeded access to the private beach at the end of the road. It also has a half acre, fairly unusual for this location, and a two-car garage. But the floor plan makes no sense, and boy oh boy, does this house need work! It’s big, with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths; but the new owner will need faith and fortitude to make it a comfortable 21st century home. In the end, it could be worth $2,500,000 after $500,000 worth of renovations. As they say, it takes money to make money; and in this case, there is a substantial upside potential, as well as the enjoyment of a home in the best of locations.

Top of the Heights, with views and sunsets. And completely redone, in great taste. Take a look, and then go right out to buy a lottery ticket!
