Friday, May 29, 2009. Real Estate Market Showing Signs of Life. In the wake of Memorial Day Weekend, the official start of the summer season here, the real estate market is continuing to show signs of life. On a recent trip off cape to the north shore of Boston, realtors told me that many buyers are acting and the combination of low prices and rates have fueled a mini boom. This is good news for the cape market. The current market is a rollercoaster ride with interest rates, but they are still historical...

Thursday, June 18, 2009. Upswing Underway for Provincetown Real Estate? The past few weeks I’ve been reporting that there are indications we could be at the bottom of the real estate slow down. The signs kept coming this week as home prices in the Northeast increased .6% in May according to the Integrated Asset Services Index. Other positive news that could be an indicator of a turn-around is a decrease in recorded foreclosures in Massachusetts. Also, employment in Massachusetts grew by 5,000 jobs in...

Friday, April 24, 2009. Has the Market Bottomed Out? This week brought some peculiar behavior in the real estate market which led to conflicting reports and opinions as to whether we’ve reached a turning point. Last Saturday was alive and buzzing with real estate shoppers. Realtors from Provincetown to Orleans reported that the combination of scheduled showings, walk in inquiries and busy open houses, were reminiscent of a stronger market. The weather cooperated as well. Closed sales in the hardest hit m...

This doesn’t seem like much but calculated into a mortgage it has an impact. A condominium did close last Friday for around $300,000. With the optimistic news over the past month about low prices and rates, along with the slow increase in interest rates, seller...
