Cape Cod Foreclosures, Bank Owned & Short Sales

Cape Cod Foreclosures, Bank owned & Short Sales represent a small percentage of our overall Cape Cod Real Estate market. If you were to ask some agents they might say its is a big part of our market.

However if you look at the real market statistics ( from a sample of Cape Cod) it really matters what town, village your talking about.

Tale a look at Mashpee, the Market Data . The Market is telling us that only 32 Mashpee Homes for sale are Foreclosures, Bank owed or Short Sales. Mashpee Real Estate Satistics

OK That's good for Mashpee, what about in the village of Marstons Mills which lies in the town of Barnstable. A different story unfolds.Marston's Mills Market Statistics

17.1% Distressed... What! in the Mills... That equates to almost 18 homes that have lost there homes to the bank or are in jeopardy of losing their home. That's a pretty good number in reference to how many home are on the market in Marstons Mills.

Well if we dig a little deeper and look at towns/villages that are next to the Mills what will we find? How about the high rent district of Osterville, or the community of Centerville. How are these Cape Cod towns/villages in regards to Foreclosures, Bank owned or Short Sales? Lets see.

Osterville Market Satistics Centerville Market Statistics

So what does this Cape Cod Foreclosures, Bank owned or Short Sales market data tell me, or what does it mean to you.. There is still a little pain out there. Cape Cod is not as bad as some parts of the country but we have some healing to do.

So whats the bad news?

We'll recently i have been getting more and more request to do bank BPO's which might suggest that there are more Foreclosures, Bank owned or Short Sales coming.

Whats the Good News?

If you want to sell your home this year, don't wait for the spring market. Right now we know what we have. We have buyers looking for homes, we have historical low interest rates (which allow more buyers to qualify to purchase your home) and we have a bunch of properties out there that are just priced too high, making your home more attractive to the serious buyers who are willing and able to make it happen Now

Cape Cod Real Estate - solve the housing crises

Working in my Cape Cod Real Estate office today, I came across this article by Dona Dezube, titled 9 Ways to Solve the Housing Crisis that I put up on my Facebook Fan Page ETSells Think Real Estate. in the article she was talking about how a group of lawmakers and D.C mucky mucks got together to discuss the issues around the housing market.


As an Cape Cod Real Estate agent, who would love nothing more than see the Cape Cod Housing market get better and better, found some interesting ideas in this article. What made me really think was the question I asked myself. Is my Cape Cod Real Estate market in a crises? A bear Cape Cod Housing market


See I live in Mashpee, MA and we have about 6% of our market being a distressed sale. Comparing this to my neighbor East Falmouth, MA which is a little over 8%, I would say no.


But the underliing pulse of the article was the conversation about helping financially troubled home owners ( these home owners haven't even hit the market OUCH! ) not be another distressed home on the market which would just add to the total number of distressed Cape Cod Real Estate on the market..


I would love to here your comments on 9 Ways to solve the housing Crises by Dona DeZube do you agree with some of the points? one of favorites is number 1, Streamline government programs....




Mashpee Real Estate Listings, are on the rise!

Mashpee Real Estate listings are on the rise according to the Mashpee market research I was doing today to help a Mashpee Home Owner gain a better understanding of what was really going on in this ( what they call buyers) market.

In my effort to educate the sellers on my ahead of the curve pricing strategy, it became apparent to them that Mashpee real estate listings are on the rise. So they asked “What does it
Mashpee Real Estate Listings trend Chart
mean that Mashpee real estate listings are on the rise?”



Well if you look at this chart that shows Mashpee Real Estate Listings data from last year up to the month of July this year, there were 209 single family Mashpee homes for sale. and that last July there were 204 single family Mashpee homes for sale. December had the low point with only 152 homes for sale

Now on the surface this might not mean anything. But a closer look gives a little insight to the Mashpee Real Estate Listings cycle.

Take a look at the trend chart - Take a look at the past. August, September and October. What do you see? Well I see a Mashpee Real Estate Listings window of opportunity.


Mashpee Real Estate Months of Inventory

See what i was discussing with these Mashpee Sellers was, Yes there are more Mashpee Real Estate Listings on the market but there are more buyers buying too.

The Months of inventory ( based on closed sells) have been declining since a peak in February. Which tells me there are a lot of Mashpee Real Estate Listings on the market and the Mashpee Home Seller who understands this and takes good advice to price the home ahead of the curve. Will be in the best position to get there home sold faster and for more money compared to the other homes that are just sitting out of the market.
Mashpee Real Estate Listings are on the rise! But that's not the real story.Tale of Two Markets

The Real story is that many Mashpee home buyers and sellers are listening too the national news about what going on in the overall Real Estate Market and making their
decision to buy or sell based on that news.

The only news that a buyer or seller should listen to (in my opinion) is the news that directly effects their town, their neighborhood and their street period...

Bottom line: Mashpee Real Estate Listings, are selling.
