In the adjusting economy, real estate is still a great buy here on the Outer Cape. Our local market has encountered price adjustments, but no where near the national level you are reading about in the papers. There is nothing that compares to this picturesque fishing village nestled against the Cape Cod National Seashore, colorful nightlife, and terrific restaurants to encourage visitors from everywhere!
Condo and home values have been affected by the current economic climate, but the downward movement in values has slowed due to the finite amount of land and the uniqueness of the geographic location of Provincetown. Our sales have slowed, but we see a shift between those homeowners wishing to sell their homes or condos, and those interested in sitting on them. Instead of location, location, location now it's become price, value, and then location. This is a buyer's market, and there are sellers motivated to move on with their life. While our first quarter sales were quiet due to the testing of the confidence levels in spending in the marketplace, those properties that sold provided some great values to buyers. Here are a few statistics on the local market on the outer cape.
