Cape Cod real estate has been trying to get going over the past year but we have seen a serious decline in homes and condos for sale on Cape Cod, Ma. We need listings!! There are plenty of investors ready to move forward on buying a home or condo for sale on Cape Cod. Property values have been steady and we have not seen too much movement from the bottom of the market. There are of course some exceptions to the rule all depending on location, condition and of course price range. The Cape market is a different animal in the fact that not all homeowners have to sell their property. Some are rental properties that enjoy a nice rental income helping them pay the mortgage and other bills other are properties that have been passed down generation to generation. This allows them to stand tough and wait for the right offer should it present itself. Sometimes it isn't even a realistic number but there are people out there who don't care and feel it is worth it to them to pay more than current market value to get the home they want. However, there are those owners that are ready to sell and are just looking for an offer but scared to list too low. The best advice I can give to a prospective home buyer is that if you like the house check out the recent sales in that immediate area, talk to your broker and figure out a price you feel comfortable paying and make an offer. It does not have to be 98%, 95% or even 90% for that matter it is what you are willing to pay for the home. If the homeowner doesn't like it then move on. There are other homes on the horizon. In order for you to stay competitive and up to date in today's market you can't afford to always wait for your Realtor to send you a new listing. A bit of a shocker here, you are not the agents only client. We are sometimes working with a lot of buyers and keeping them up to date 24 hours a day is no easy task. New listings come on the market at all hours and times of year. With the competitive influx of buyers you have to be ready to act and fast. Another important tip, have your financing in order!! Talk to a local bank and figure out financially where you are at and have them do a pre-approval. It only adds strength to your offer. The fact is that quality listings in a good price point and location are selling rapidly and you don't want to have to wait to have a bank give you a pre-approval when others who are prepared are already making an offer. Granted the pre-approval is a quick process it does not mean what they pre approve you for is what you want to or should be paying.
