Cape Cod Market Update May 2019
April Review: We are glad to see inventory building up in 2019. With approximately 5.8 months of inventory of single-family homes the market is reaching sustainability (particularly favoring neither buyers nor sellers). It is also worth noting that the year-over-year comparisons of month's supply has been up since July 2018 which could indicate that we have passed the minimum supply level in this market cycle. However ever increasing median sales prices led to a 2% drop in

Cape Cod Market Update February 2019
January Review: January followed the trend of the last few months of throwing trends out of the window. The economy recovered much of the ground lost in December but still feels shaky to many investors. As a result mortgage rates seem to be on uncertain ground as well, though they are still at historic lows hovering in the low 4% range. The real estate market in Barnstable County is showing some interesting shifts. Inventory is at 4.8 months, the same as December. Thi

January Market Update 2019
Hello to all and Happy New Year! We wish you health and happiness for 2019 December Review: If we had to choose a word for December it would be: schizophrenic.

The local housing market however continues to show strength despite these causes for concern. While inventory was down from November, it is up 4% from this

December Market Update
November Review: After a busier than usual late fall we are starting to see the seasonal cooling off around the holidays. Closed sales, inventory and median sales price were all down in November as both sellers and buyers tend to back off this time of year. We also note that with 5.8 months supply of inventory the market is healthier compared to November last year (5.3 months). The strong economy and hints from the Fed that rate hikes may be slowing down is good news f
