WHRC Scientist Home Search

October 24, 2016 by Nadine

My buyer this week is an interesting Ph.D who’s just come to the Woods Hole Research Center. She and her husband are from Venezuela, both with Ph.Ds in Forestry from universities in the U.S. (Talk about a “commuter marriage”; he’s working in Chile! They spend a weekend a month together, either in his place or hers.)

At the WHRC, the scientists fund their research with grants, and this woman has enough for the next three years. So she’s looking for a home that will be comfortable now, but that will be easy to sell in three years if she needs to. What does that mean? Location, location, location! Then, care with the selling price, so she will be able to sell if necessary and at least break even. This buyer has a good sense of style and knowledge of the costs of renovation. She can see the potential in our many tired homes, and she’s not afraid to take on the challenge of redoing a house if it will get her to her goal.

We’ve looked at a number of possibilities, but at the moment, the one that has risen to the top of the list is 58 Landfall, in Treetops.

58 Landfall, Falmouth
$459,000

I’ve written about this condo before. I think it’s the best deal in town. The asking price of $459,000 is lower than any selling price in Treetops for the last 18 months, so right there, that’s a great beginning. The renovated homes there sell in a blink in the $600’s, so there’s the second criterion checked. The community is lovely, just a mile from Main Street and with access to a private ocean beach, as well as pool and tennis onsite. This unit is special because it overlooks Oyster Pond, and is tucked away in one of the most private spots in all of Treetops. I love it, and in my mind’s eye, it’s spiffy, sophisticated, and beautiful. Maybe this buyer is the one to make that happen! Stay tuned…

Waterview Condos, Part 1

April 20, 2015 by Nadine

#21501438

182 Bayfront Way, Unit 31-3, East Falmouth
$449,000

 

Falmouthport was built in the 1970’s and is a good-sized complex, with 210 units. The surroundings are woodsy, and there’s a lovely salt water inlet that goes out to the ocean – and also a pool, tennis courts, and a clubhouse. This particular unit is on three levels, all with wide water views. It’s been tastefully renovated, and so will be a pleasure for a new owner to move into. With 1,343 sf (which does not include the finished lower level), the asking price of $449,000 is just about right for a waterfront unit. Condo fees are reasonable and stable here; for this unit, it’s $431 a month. But the buyer has to be okay with not having a garage, as there are no garages in Falmouthport.

60 Landfall, Unit 60, Quissett (Falmouth)
$535,000

#21405160
24 Landfall, Unit 34, Quissett (Falmouth)
$539,000

Treetops is a late 1970’s condo complex just off Woods Hole Road. Sited at the top of Oyster Pond, and facing south down the length of the pond to Vineyard Sound, or west across the pond, the views are particularly lovely. The units are three floors, and all have sliders or large windows showcasing these views.

With only 62 units in total, this is an intimate neighborhood, but it still offers the pool, clubhouse, and tennis courts that are desired by many condo owners. In addition, Treetops has a private beach on Vineyard Sound, and although it’s not on the property, it’s only about a 10-minute walk, 5-minute bike ride, or 2-minute drive.

During the height of the market, Treetops units were sought after, and sold for more than the current prices. With the downturn and the passing of time (so that original units began to look dated); and with a new small private wind turbine across the street at the Woods Hole Research Center, values declined a bit. Some homes still sell in the $600’s, but the two I’m featuring today are in the low 500’s, a very good value. These two units show well, are immaculate, well-maintained, and even though not spiffily HGTV-worthy, are neutral and easy to move into as is. But they are on three levels, too much for some potential Buyers.
