Cape Cod Real Estate, Homes for Sale on Cape Cod Ma, Free Cape Cod MLS Property Search Tool

Cape Cod Real Estate is starting to heat up but inventory remains low. Buyers, mostly investors have been flooding the market. I have been struggling finding quality Cape Cod homes and condos to show them. While there are some choices available the inventory is struggling. I have seen some new homes for sale come on the market but not nearly enough.

 I do remain positive that more homeowners on Cape Cod will start to list their homes for sale and have seen a multiple homes come on the real estate market every day. I think the main reason has been this colder and snowier than normal winter on the Cape. Although the days grows longer and the sun stronger and before you know it spring will be here on Cape Cod. I for one cannot wait for the warmer temps and boating weather.

With interest rates remaining at all time lows now is the time to begin your Cape Cod real estate search. Although the inventory is down it is a good time to start your Cape Cod search to identify areas you want to be in so that when a home or condo does come on the market you are ready to act. With so many buyers and investors looking for real estate on the Cape competition will be fierce.

The best way to stay on top of the market is to sign up for my Free MLS property search tool. You can search all the current listings for sale on Cape Cod and even get automatic updates the moment a property comes on the market matching your criteria.

Cape Cod Real Estate, Listing a Home or Condo for Sale. Timing is everything so is the Agent.

Cape Cod, Ma real estate is starting to pick up and we are slowly seeing more and more homes and condos for sale come on the market. This is a good thing because the inventory on Cape Cod has been a bit on the lower side. If you are thinking about selling your home now is the time to find a Realtor (ideally myself) and start the listing process. 

Listing a property correctly and effeciently takes more time than you think. If your agent lists a property in a day with no photos and lack of description and a plan just to get it on the market quick, then they could actually cost you money in the long run . You have one shot to wow the potential buyers and most time agents out there. You need to come at them full guns blazing and do a strong marketing push right off the bat. Social media, pictures, open house, broker tour and print advertising to name a few.  It is all about the buzz and momentum. When the real estate buzz fades away then your properties value is going to start to diminish every day it is on the market. 

One of the most paramount items when listing your home for sale on Cape Cod are photos.  The internet is such a huge player in todays market that if you don't have quality photos of your home you could be missing out on a potential buyer. Buyers are looking at homes for sale on Cape Cod, Ma online before they even contact a realtor and have already made their mind up about certain homes. Also, videos and interactive floor plans are very helpful and the new age buyer are looking for those type of things. The more you can appeal to a broader the horizon the easier it will be to find a buyer.  I also know you hate those opportunistic open houses but have at least one! If you don't want a lot of random strangers coming into your home do a special one just for your neighbors. Word of mouth travels fast these days and on Cape Cod you would be surprised how many people are out looking for their sons, daughters, parents, friends, etc. There is a lot more than you think that goes into listing a home and finding the right broker is crucial.

 If you or anyone you know is looking to buy or sell real estate on Cape Cod, Mass please let me know. I have been in the business for over 10 years now and customer satisfaction is my #1 goal. With over 120 properties sold I continue to educate myself and take on new clients.

Cape Cod, Ma Real Estate News you can use. Free Cape Cod MLS Search Tool.

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. In other to stay current and up to date my MLS Property Finder search tool allows you to search all Cape Cod homes and condos for sale in real time. Automatic emails based on your search criteria will be emailed to you each morning. You are able to share Cape Cod, ma homes for sale with friends, like, save listings and much more.

Cape Cod Real Estate Agent Dan Neske Changes Realty Firms

Cape Cod, Ma real estate is a tumultuous path for realtors. There are alot of companies out there all claiming to be the best on the Cape.

In this fast paced, technology world I needed to position myself with a company who are well versed in online advertising and are able to progress quickly and adapt to new changes. I was thoroughly impressed with William Raveis RE and Mortgage. They are a family run business, but, have the look and feel as a large corporate superman.

Cape Cod Real Estate


Cape Cod is a fantastic place to be this time of year.  The flowers are in full bloom the days are sunny and warm  and the traffic is still at a minimum.  While I sit in my office in Brewster gazing out at the sunny days I think about how lucky I am to be living on the Cape. With so many outdoor activities to take part in, it is hard to fit them all in.  The kayacking on Cape Cod is truly amazing.  There are so many little estuaries to pop in and out of.  Bass Hole in Yarmouthport remains my favorite spot.  There are so many trips you can take it is sometimes hard to choose.  You can go deep into scorton creek and wind through the river, you can follow the coastline to barnstable harbor, or you can go around chapin beach around to mayflower and corporation beach.  Another favorite is in little pleasant bay in orleans.  Another great outdoor sport to get into is biking.  The cape cod rail trail is an amazing adventure.  You can start in Dennis and make your way all the way to Wellfleet.  Along the way they have stops in Harwich, Brewster, Orleans, and Eastham.  Enjoy a clam roll in brewster at Cobies, stop by and get some chocolate or ice cream at the Chocolate Sparrow in Orleans, how about a quick round of mini golf in Eastham.  Also the cape is home to some great dirt trails as well.  Try Nickerson State Park in Brewster.  That is all for now but will be in touch soon.  I am off to enjoy another beautiful Cape Cod afternoon.

Cape Cod, Ma, What to Do when I get here??


Probably the most frequently asked question among clients and guests visiting Cape Cod is "What can I do other than go to the beach".  My answer is usually how long are you here.  Cape Cod has an abundance of activities to keep anyone occupied and excited to be on the Cape.  While on Cape Cod, Ma a must do is go on a whale watch. "In 1975 the Dolphin Fleet started whale watching out of Provincetown, Massachusetts with the hope of bringing an understanding and awareness to the public about whales and their environment. They ventured out on educational trips with scientists to study whales as well as educate the public about marine mammals and their habitat". Another interesting day could be spent at the Cape Cod Natural Museum of History. "The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, was founded in 1954. Our mission is to encourage and advance understanding of our natural environment through discovery and learning. The museum is housed in a 17,000 square foot building on its own 80-acre site, abutted by 300 acres of town-owned conservation land". They have amazing conservation walks with guided tours daily. Route 6a has a plethera of antique shops.  Hop in the car and go for a drive down the old kings highway and take in all the eclectic shops 6a has to offer.  Mini golf anyone?  Jump back into the days of the old with a round of mini golf in the hundreds of locations on Cape Cod, Ma.  I remember begging my mother and father to stop at Pirates Cove in Yarmouth.  I loved that place.  To this day my fiance and I still visit and put in a couple of rounds a year. Speaking of golf, Cape Cod houses a very wide range of golf courses ranging from par 3 courses to pga sanctioned courses.  If you need any advice on what courses to play let me know, I am a golf addict and try to play as many as possible. If you like to fish then you are in luck, there are tons of opportunities to fish on Cape Cod, whether it's visiting one of the many ponds and lakes and doing some freshwater fishing or hopping on a charter to take advantage of some of the best saltwater fishing around. I recommend Captain Tom George of Chatham Fish Pier Charters.  This should give you a couple of great things to do on Cape Cod, Ma. I will do some more updates in the future.
