Provincetown Under $500K – The Three Best Condos

Yes, there are great properties available under $500K in Provincetown.

But… there are only five condos on the market priced under $500K.  (There are another 11 for sale at Seashore Point, our over 55 community)

Of the 38 condos that have sold so far this year 24 of them (63%) were priced under $500K. An amazing number! That means there is less than a months available inventory in this price range.  Demand is extremely high, supply is extremely low.

My three favorites below represent a studio, a one bedroom and a two bedroom condo.

586 Commercial Street #7 is a great studio condo with deeded beach access in the East End. It has 270 square feet and is being marketed for $329K.

MLS Remarks: Come and see this East End pied-a-terre, part of the popular Ship’s Bell Condominiums. Just off a grassy courtyard you’ll find this light filled first floor condo with many original features, such as refinished antique pine floors and original wainscoting. Enjoy lazy summer afternoons on the exclusive use deck, and with deeded beach access, the beach is always just steps away. There is assigned parking for one car, beautiful common gardens, an efficiently designed kitchen and a queen sized Murphy bed. Weekly rentals are allowed, as well as pets for owners.

Residents enjoy the use of common laundry as well as the convenience of an amply sized private storage locker in the common basement. The patio outside the unit is surrounded by colorful mature plantings, and is for the exclusive use of the unit. Weekly rentals and pets permitted. Plus, parking is deeded for one car.

Provincetown 1st Quarter Results Preview

Early First Quarter Results – Will they determine the direction of the spring market?

It has been an interesting Q1 , with weather issues, political issues, and the continuing stubborn lack of inventory. There are only 40 condos on the market vs 67 last year at this time.

Despite these issues condominium sales are set to surpass last years first quarter sales by close to 30% – 30 sales vs 20 sales last year. This is a good sign of continuing strength in the market.  The average sale price is $507K and 60% of those sales were under $500K. This is a very popular price point and there were several really great properties that sold. Below are four examples.

 

SOLD $375K, studio, 329 sf
23 Winthrop St #1 – SOLD $375K, studio, 329 sf
SOLD $390K, 1/1, 330 sf
26 Pleasant St #3 – SOLD $390K, 1/1, 330 sf

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

163 Bradford #2 SOLD $397K, 1/1, 425 sf
163 Bradford #2 – SOLD $397K, 1/1, 425 sf
12 Commercial St #7, SOLD $480K, 1/1, 734 sf
12 Commercial St #7, SOLD $480K, 1/1, 734 sf

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Single family home sales have been sluggish with only four selling so far this year. Last year a total of 12 had sold  in the first quarter. There are only 19 homes on the market vs 26 last year.

The economy remains strong even with the volatility in the stock market. Our outer Cape markets are feeling the same inventory pinch as markets nationwide – with absorption rates and prices increasing in both the condo and single family markets. Slightly higher interest rates should have little effect as rates have remained historically low.

Market performance will depend on new inventory entering the market coupled with buyer demand remaining strong. The complete Goode and Farmer Report will be out in early April. Look for it – and I will keep you updated throughout the spring market with new listings, current sales, and many other posts of interest.
