What $629K Gets You On The Cape

 

Another great Curbed Comparisons from Jazmine –

 

CURBED COMPARISONS

What $629,000 Buys You on Cape Cod Right Now

Thursday, March 5, 2015, by Jazmine Donaldson

It’s time once again for Curbed Comparisons, where we break down what you can get at the same price point, style or size in five different Cape and Islands neighborhoods. This week, Barnstable listings for around $629,000.

[154 Commercial Street, Unit 3, Provincetown via Zillow]

Here now, eight Cape Cod properties asking around$629,000 – year round, single-families, an old-meets-new condo, views of Cape Cod Bay, fireplaces galore, perpetually pricechopped, in need of TLC, in contract, bulldozer bait, recently renovated, ready to rent, and move-in-ready – with a little something for everyone.

EAST FALMOUTH
Behold, waterfront bulldozer bait with rather amusing brokerbabble for $629K: “There is a perfectly good house on this land, but will need to have a new septic system due to the present one being too close to the water, and a corner of the dwelling is in a flood zone. So the potential for tearing down the house and building just a smidge back opens the prospects of this property to limitless bounds (other than the ones set by the state and town bylaws).”
164 ACAPESKET ROAD, EAST FALMOUTH, MA 02536
WEBSITE
NEW SEABURY
Unit 14 is an end unit townhome “in a very private setting located in the village known as SeaQuarters!” The 2BR, 3.5BA features a first floor master, gas fireplace, three-season porch, a finished lower level, and the community pool “just steps away.” Yours for $629,900.
20 MASHPEE ROAD, COTUIT, MA 02635
WEBSITE
CENTERVILLE
This updated classic Colonial on .46 acres was built in 1994 and features 5BR, 2.5BA in 2,696-sq.-ft. The listing hit the market in early February for $629,000 and was in contract by the end of the month.
73 WILD GOOSE WAY, CENTERVILLE, MA 02632
WEBSITE
HARWICH
“Great Value!!!” The excited brokerbabble aside, this updated 3BR, 3BA on .92 acres features a first floor master, a hot tub room (insert time machine joke here) and a bonus room over the two-car garage. Asking price is $629,000.
24 DEER RUN, HARWICH, MA 02645
WEBSITE
ORLEANS
Built in 1800, this 4BR, 2.5BA “has been fabulously restored and lovingly and meticulously maintained.” In addition to the 2,072-square-footer, there’s a barn and shed on the 1.04 acre lot. First listed in September for $639K, a December chop brought the ask down to $629K.
32 MONUMENT ROAD, ORLEANS, MA 02653
WEBSITE
EASTHAM
First listed in March 2013 for $699K, this 3BD, 2BA upside-down Cape “across from the waters edge on beautiful Herring Pond” is now hoping for $629K.
375 HERRING BROOK ROAD, EASTHAM, MA 02642
WEBSITE
TRURO
Here’s yet another in contract abode with a $629K price tag. This contemporary Cape with 3BR, 2BA sits on a tricked-out 1.13 acres with an “in-ground, heated, salt water pool with waterfall, a large hot tub, an outdoor shower and a large storage shed.”
12 BAYBERRY LANE, WELLFLEET, MA 02667

PROVINCETOWN
Finally, to PTown. This 2BR, 1BA newly listed West End condo features water views, access to Cape Cod Bay just across the street and nice mix of 1890-meets-2015 in 975-sq.-ft. Asking price is $629,000.

BARNSTABLE – The Cape’s real estate sales for January may have gotten partially buried in snow, but the market’s performance remained solid.
The Barnstable County Registry of Deeds reported Friday that sales volume last month was nearly identical to January 2014. The median price last month was down slightly less than a percentage point. Register of Deeds John F. Meade said those results came in a month when harsh winter weather limited activity to close sales.”The last two weeks are typically the busiest time of the month,” Meade said. “The snowpocalypse didn’t help much.”When a blizzard struck in the last week of the month, weather forced the registry to close on Jan. 27 and 28. “On Thursday (Jan. 29), we were open, but really no one was coming out to close transactions,” Meade said.
For the month, the registry recorded 396 deeds of property valued at more than $50,000, one fewer than in January 2013. The median price receded from January 2014’s $328,000 to $325,000 last month, the registry reported. The beginning of the year is typically the slowest time for property sales, Meade said. “January and February are the quietest months,” he said. “But we did have a strong December.”
Though weather may have prevented closings late in the month, both residential and commercial agents said the market has been robust. “It’s like an April market in the middle of a snowstorm,” said Tom Hester, principal of Tom Hester Real Estate in Dennis. “The phone’s been ringing a lot this winter.” Hester said low interest rates have provided a strong incentive for buyers to finance home sales. And he said both interest in both first and second homes has been strong this winter
Meade also said that interest rates were bringing more activity to the registry. Mortgage activity was up almost 2 percent, he said, as rates have reached multi-year lows.
On the commercial real estate front, John Ciluzzi, president of Premier Commercial in Hyannis, described conditions as “bullish.””The first quarter of 2015 has proved to be pretty good,” he said. “We’ve seen strong sales and leasing in January. There’s been a lot of interest, which we gauge as actual offers and money placed into escrow. When you get conditions like this, it’s why I say I’m bullish about the market.”
While the registry covers sales, Ciluzzi pointed out that another key part of the Cape’s commercial landscape also has been performing well: leasing. “That’s really the origination of new businesses,” he said. “Right now, we see a lot of leases in the office, retail and medical sectors.
And a look at a broader time span shows the real estate market continuing to improve, Meade said. “Six months to a year gives a better tell about where things are going,” he said. “And that looks like we’re on pace for continuing slight improvement.
The registry also reported that January was the 10th consecutive month with a median Cape sales price above $300,000.

Real Estate Trends That Defined 2014

Below is an rundown of real estate trends we saw in 2014 and a look forward to what we might see in 2015. This post provides a terrific national overview that is meaningful for our local markets as well.

 _______________________________________
September 2013

 

 

 

By: , Real Estate News, Realtor.com

The year 2014 saw a steady build-up of housing momentum that is expected to carry the market into 2015 gains, according to a realtor.com® report released today.

The 2014 Housing Review points to significant improvements in the U.S. economy overall and low mortgage rates as fueling the housing market. However, there are also factors that continue to hold back a recovery, including tight credit restrictions and a limited supply of homes for sale.

“The strong outlook for 2015 is based in part on the improvements and momentum experienced by the economy and housing in the second half of 2014,” said Jonathan Smoke, realtor.com®’s chief economist. “With several key factors turning strongly positive, 2014 was a turning point and sets the stage for a stronger recovery in 2015.”

Here are the top 10 trends of the past year, with five indications of growth and five limiting factors.

Realtor.com®’s Top 10 Real Estate Trends of 2014

Indicators of a stronger housing recovery

1. Improving economic fundamentals: After an especially harsh winter, the economy picked up steam this spring and produced a banner year for new jobs. The GDP this year was higher and is still trending higher, resulting in stronger consumer confidence.

2. Historically low mortgage rates continued: Mortgage rates declined despite the end this year of quantitative easing, a monetary policy intended to stimulate the economy. Global weakness, along with actions by the European Central Bank and central banks in Asia, kept our Federal Reserve from raising the Federal Fund Rate, which kept mortgage rates low.

3. Return to normal price appreciation: After two years of abnormally high levels of home price appreciation in 2012 and 2013, price increases moderated throughout 2014. We are now experiencing increases in home prices consistent with long-term historical performance.

4. Decline of distressed sales: Foreclosures and short sales declined throughout the year, and while total home sales decreased year over year, normal (non-distressed) home sales increased over 2013. Foreclosure inventories also fell substantially and are forecasted to be down 30% year over year at the close of 2014.

5. End of the era of major investors active in purchases: Related to the drop in distressed sales opportunities, and against a backdrop of higher home prices, portfolios of single-family homes for rent may have reached their peak this year. Large-scale investor purchase activity in the single-family market sector continued to decline, leaving more room for traditional first-time buyers.

However, we still have a ways to go back to normality.

“Despite the positives, several factors were far from normal this year,” Smoke said. “The limiting factors held back demand and even supply in 2014, but economic gains and late 2014 government housing policy actions brighten the potential for even more positive change in 2015.”

Factors holding back recovery

1. Tight credit standards: Despite historically low rates, many households were prevented from capitalizing on mortgage access because of overlays lenders added to qualification standards in order to limit their risk. As a result, mortgage credit availability did not improve in 2014.

2. Limited inventory: While absolute inventories increased as the year progressed, supply did not outpace demand. Monthly supply of new homes and existing homes remained beneath normal levels, and the age of inventory was down year over year.

3. Depressed levels of first-time buyers: The share of first-time buyers fell to the lowest level in more than 20 years, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. “But the first-time buyer share is showing signs of modest improvement by the year-end,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist. Federal policy actions, such as revised regulations for lenders and new low down-payment programs introduced in December are anticipated to have a positive impact in 2015.

4. Record levels of renters and ever-increasing rent prices: Continued declines in homeownership rates resulted in record numbers of renting households. Rent increases became an inflationary concern this year, and looking ahead, the pace of these increases is not slowing down.

5. Lack of recovery in homebuilding and low share of new home sales: Single-family starts barely increased in 2014 over 2013. New home sales remain far from normal share levels – typically near 16%, they are now around 9%. New home prices increased substantially again this year, revealing that higher priced product is limiting the demand.

The Goode and Farmer Report October 2014

Provincetown, Truro and Wellfleet Real Estate market 3Q2014 Figures 

 

PROVINCETOWN

Stable…solid…predictable…encouraging… qualities you don’t often hear when describing second home markets, but 2014 sales-to-date are just that, and in some instances downright outstanding. While in urban areas nationally we are seeing the volatility caused by low inventory and frothy prices beginning to abate. In contrast Provincetown Truro and Wellfleet real estate markets are behaving more like mature overachievers than emotional teenagers.

Year-to-date sales through the 3Q in Provincetown were strong with condos leading the market with sales increasing 14%. The average sale price of single-family homes remained relatively flat, mostly the product of lower inventory. Provincetown had a stellar summer season once the monsoon rains of spring gave way to gorgeous and dry summer weather.

The average sale price of condos sold in Provincetown increased 3% to $446K from $432K last year, and the number of sales recorded in MLS were 14% higher than last year at 103. Sales volume increased by a 18% to $46M. The median price of condos sold also increased 20% to $426K from $354K an indicator that the belly of the market has moved up from the $400K to $600K range to the $500K to $700K range.

The average price of single-family properties sold year to date was $1.03M down a modest 1%. There were 24 single-family sales, which was down 25% from 32 last year. Total sales volume was $25M down from $33M. We continue to feel that these softer single-family numbers are being caused by the historic lack of inventory, as buyer demand remains high especially in the desirable West End and East End neighborhoods.

The $1M plus single family market remains much slower with only 6 sales and $12M in sales volume compared to 13 sales last year with a volume of $21M.

Condo inventory as of October 19 is relatively low with only 90 available with an average asking price of $515K and an average price per square foot of $604. There are 25 condos available priced between $300K and $400Kand 22 with prices between $500K and $700K

There are 47 single-family properties on the market with an average price of $1.54M and an average price per square foot of $584.

The condominium market is tracking well higher than last years. The single-family market is tracking a bit lower. Fourth quarter under agreement (pending) sales of condos are quite strong and will bolster already impressive numbers.

 

3Q2014 Ptown2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TRURO AND WELLFLEET

The single-family home market in Truro and Wellfleet has performed better than Provincetown this year. We only track single-family home sales in these towns as their condo markets consist mostly of 3-season inventory. Single-family sales have seen incredible increases this year partly a result of the dearth of inventory in Provincetown – as well as the high average price of homes in Provincetown.

The average median sales price for single-family properties in Truro is up 14% to $625K from $550K in 2013, but the number of sales was down 22% to 29 sales this year. Even with many fewer sales, volume was only down 5% to $23M.

Wellfleet turned in the strongest performance with a 29% increase in sales to 62 units from 48 last year. The median sales price of single-family properties sold was up 4% to $494K from $476K last year. Wellfleet remains a predominantly a single-family sales market too.

Positive buyer and seller attitudes coupled with a continuation of relatively low mortgage rates (30-year-fixed rates are averaging 3.875%) and an improving economy bode well for 2015 being a great year to jump into the market.

Please call or stop in if you are considering selling or buying, or if you are just curious as to what your home is worth. Our business philosophy has always been that the best-informed buyers and sellers are most satisfied with their real estate results. And that’s what we do best!

Iconic Days Cottages In Truro On The Market

Below is a repost of a really well done story by Zeningor Enwemeka at WBUR in Boston….and congratulations to Gregg Russo for doing a great job launching the marketing campaign for the Cottages.

For Sale: Iconic Cape Cod ‘Flower’ Cottages Near Provincetown

By 

WBUR Staff – Zeninjor Enwemeka, Digital Reporter, WBUR

BOSTON — One of Cape Cod’s most iconic properties hit the market this week, and you can now own a piece of New England history.

Days cottages (or the flower cottages), the beachfront rentals located on the way to Provincetown along Route 6A in Truro, are up for sale with a price tag of $399,000 each. Listings for the cottages call it “a once in a lifetime opportunity to pick your very own flower.”

The row of 22 identical cottages has been owned by the Days family since 1931. Each is named after a flower. There’s Daisy, Zinnia, Violet, Rose and so on. Over the last eight decades, the cottages have served as a muse for artists and photographers who came to capture the essence of the Outer Cape. Plenty of tourists have been drawn to them too over the years.

Each cottage is 420 square feet with two bedrooms and 1 bathroom, plus a private beachfront. All are listed at the same price except for the two end units. Unit 1 (Daisy) is listed at $409,000 and unit 23 (Wistaria) is listed at $429,000. (Note: There is no unit No. 13.)

Since 1991, Joe Days has operated the cottages with his wife, Cindy. His sister, Carol, is also a partner in the business. Joe Days said the work takes a toll after so many years, and he and his wife are ready to retire and have a less stressful life.

“We’re not getting any younger,” said Days, who is 66. “My wife and I would like to get on to the next phase of our life.”

Days said he’s been part of the business since he was a kid, working 42 years in all there. He and his wife plan to spend more time at their home in Florida, but will still make the Cape their home in the summers. Days said they also plan to continue running the convenience store (Days Market) across the street from the cottages — at least for a couple more years.

But the sale of the cottages means that part of the business will no longer be in the family. Days said he and Carol decided it was a good time to sell and move on. He said other family members are not in the business.

“They’ve all got their own jobs and careers,” Days said. “The fact that somebody would have to come down and do this, I don’t know was that appealing.”

The cottage were put up for sale before in 2006, but Days said the real estate market at that time wasn’t so great, so they were taken off the market.

For Days, selling is bittersweet. He’s had several employees who have worked alongside him for years. He said those relationships have been the best thing about the business.

“Some of them have been with me for 20 years and longer,” Days said. “It makes it fun to do it and I enjoy this work. It just makes it fun when you’re working with people that you like and that like you back.”

Over the years, Days has also grown close to several customers who return year after year, and generation after generation. He said many have left Facebook messages lamenting that the cottages are being sold.

“A lot of these people are like, ‘Oh, we just started bringing our grandchildren and we thought we were going to have many years to enjoy it with them’– talk about a guilt trip,” he said with a laugh. “Some other people say, ‘Well all good things come to an end sometimes.’ ”

But the cottages are not quite coming to an end. They will just be under new ownership. The “Days Cottages” name will remain the same, but they will have the word “condominium” added to the title, according to Days.

The iconic look and feel of the cottages will also stay the same since the town won’t allow them to be changed, according to Gregg Russo, the realtor for the properties.

“The zoning board of appeals, when the family went to get permission to condo — which is the process in Truro — actually put a restriction on the approval that they never can be changed or altered in any manner,” Russo said.

This means the color, the flower names and the overall structure of the cottages will continue to look as they always have. Days calls that a “good thing” and said he hopes the new owners will also keep his longtime customers and continue that tradition.

The cottages cannot be occupied in the winter due to a city bylaw that limits occupancy to three seasons, according to Russo. So far, the history of the place has drawn in many inquiries. Russo said people have even called asking for specific flowers.

“There are people who want specific cottages because they’ve been coming to them [and] their grandparents came to them,” Russo said. “The opportunity to actually own an iconic piece of Truro history is so overwhelming for some of these people.”

Two of the cottages are already spoken for, according to Russo. He said he expects half will be gone within a week and plans to close all sales at the beginning of next year.

Provincetown Waterfront Sales Snapshot

Last week I reposted a Zillow.com story regarding prices of waterfront property nationwide.  Below is a year to date snapshot of the waterfront market in Provincetown.

There are two very different groups of waterfront properties here in town – condos and single family homes. We are lucky to have a great variety in both groups – but the variety of waterfront/waterside condos is staggering. By waterside I mean on the water side of Commercial street perhaps in a complex that is on the water or a middle or street side unit, or right on the beach…but all with bay access, what we like to call a distinctly valuable “water feature”. In contrast the single family waterfront property market is perhaps the most rarefied and exclusive market on all of Cape Cod.

Only four single family properties have sold on the water so far this year. The average sale price of these homes is   $2.178M.
