Inventory is building in certain price ranges... Overall inventory of single family homes is at it's highest since November 2020. However most of this [...]
June Review:

This is contributing as it always has to a fifth of the national GDP (gross domestic product) that [...]

Cape homes set a new record 12-month high of $679,750 in December of 2023, up an eye-watering 66% from $410,000 in December 2019. But if we look closer, we see that prices from November [...]
Cape Cod vacation rentals were gangbusters again for us in 2023 and we attribute much of this to our satisfied returning guests who comprised 50% of our 2023 bookings and 66% of our 2024 bookings thus far. We look forward to working with our repeaters each year and thank you for being valued [...]
January Review:
The Cape Cod real estate market began 2024 with some improvements over last year, but will they be enough to correct the deplorable dearth of inventory and the horrendously high prices? Let's take a closer [...]
