Hollywood East: The Road to Plymouth Rock Studios

Judy Jennings - Realtor® Serving Plymouth & Barnstable Counties: Real Estate Agent in Middleboro, MA

The Long and Winding Road to Hollywood East? There still are some curves ahead before this project is finalized and Plymouth Rock Studios builds their studio complex on the Waverly Oaks Golf Course.  

According to an article written by Kathryn Koch titled On the Road Again, there is much to be done with town, state and environmental approval before the green light is issued.  

The town certainly is interested in keeping this project alive and the state has a vested interest in preserving this project as well.  Our state and local government needs revenue and this project has been promoting that it will deliver jobs and revenue to the area.

Meanwhile, here is the latest webisode from Plymouth Rock Studios discussing the road.

WHEN SHOULD YOU LOWER YOUR ASKING PRICE?

Samantha Nichols -  Massachusetts Real Estate Specialist: Real Estate Agent in Plymouth, MA

Your house has been on the market for weeks. Despite numerous ads, open houses and showings there were no offers. Now you are considering a price reduction. You want to get as much as you can Visit www.SamanthaNichols.com for more detailsfor your home, but more important, you want it to sell!

This is the time to have a frank discussion with your REALTOR®. While price may be a major factor, it may not be the only consideration. Are you making your house easy for agents to show? Have you completed the necessary maintenance and cleaning so that your property is as appealing as possible?

Review with your agent the current market conditions, the prices of other homes currently on the market and most recent sales in your neighborhood to accurately determine that a price reduction is in order and what your new pricing should be.

The marketplace may be telling you that buyers just won't pay what you are asking. If all indicators point to a price reduction, it is better to do it sooner rather than later. Remember, your goal is to SELL!
