My friends, the time to act is now  with an impending 1% increase in interest rates. The time to buy is now before the interest rate increase takes place. 
 
The 1% change is significant in terms of loss of buying power or increase in payment. For example, on a $350,000 mortgage the 1% would be an increase in monthly payments of $300 or a loss of buying power of $60,000 to keep the same payment. The additional interest, if your client owned the home for 10 years, would be $31,000 or $108,000 more paid over the life of the loan.

]]> Cape Cod Real Estate, Homes for Sale http://www.capecodrealestatebydan.com/blog//Cape-Cod-Real-Estate-Homes-for-Sale Tuesday, February 17th 2009 Cape Cod Real Estate Homes for Sale.......

   Talk about deals....There are some fantastic homes and condos for sale out there right now, and with interest rates continuing to drop now is a fantastic time to invest in real estate on cape cod.  There are currently 537 homes for sale on Cape Cod listed under $300,000, and 489 condos for sale on Cape Cod listed under $300,000.  Todays interest rates are showing 5% for a 30 year fixed, and 4.5% for a 15 year fixed.  These figures were quoted from the Cape Cod MLS and Cape Cod Five Bank.  This means if you were to obtain a mortgage for $200k for 30 years the monthy payments would  be $1073 per month and a 15 year would be $1529 per month.  The goverment is also looking into lowering rates even further that could bring 30 year rates down to 4.5% or even 4%.  Think about how amazing this would be.  What an opportunity to be able to take advantage of.  Just months ago we were seeing 30 year fixed rates at 6.25% which added an additional $200 per month onto mortgage payments, $2400 more a year.  Figure that into the dropping home prices that we have seen over the last year.  Cape Cod homes and condos were selling and listing for over $300k in general  and today we are seeing them list in the low $200K's. 

  Now, figuring in that you are able to get a great deal on a home or condo and a fabulous interest rate consider renting it out.  Cape Cod rentals are doing well this year despite the economy and I think we wil continue to see people vacation to the Cape for years to come.  People who were taking the exotic and trips to far away places will start to pull back the reigns and stay more local.  Cape Cod has been a classic vacation for decades and many people remember coming to the Cape with their parents and spending sunny days on the beach.  Rental rates are reasonable and there is a huge populace of people located within a tank of gas.   You will be able to enjoy a 8-10 week rental season providing you with extra income to cut down your mortgage payments.  Also, not only will you enjoy the extra income from your rentals you will also be able use your home or condo for tax advantages.  Talk to your accountant of all the benefits you will receive from owning a second home or rental property.  You can fix up your home or condo a little at a time with the funds from your rentals and when it makes sense stop renting and enjoy your newly renovated home.  

   There are alot of deals to take advantage of right now on Cape Cod and now is the perfect time to act. You don't want to be on the fence and just continue to wait until the time is right because by the time you wait it could be too late.  And believe me I hear it all the time, I wish I would have bought that home at xyz when I had that chance. You will never be able to time the market, but what I do know is that rates are at an all time low, home and condo prices are down considerably from over the past years and the rental market is strong.  If you see something you like you should buy it.. seize the day.  Prices will rebound. So don't waste any more time get a hold of me and lets start getting you ready to make a great investment into not only yours but your families future.  Take care and good luck.

]]> Ocean Edge Resort http://www.capecodrealestatebydan.com/blog//Ocean-Edge-Resort Thursday, October 30th 2008  
   Today I wanted to touch base and talk about a great resort that my company specializes in, Ocean Edge Resort.  To give you a bit of background Ocean Edge is comprised of over 800 condominiums spread out on over 400 acres. The condominiums are located throughout the property some bordering the golf course and the vast majority bordering wooded areas.  Ocean Edge Resort is in the process of implementing $23 million back into the property.  They have just put $12 million into the golf course, and are in the middle of putting in a large ballroom and spa on the bayside of the property, resurfacing tennis courts and much more. The resort itself consists of 6 pools, 12 tennis courts, volleyball, basketball, bike rentals 4 restaurants and much more.  The newest addition to Ocean Edge is the new Jack Nicklaus golf course.  The resort hired Nicklaus Design to completely redesign the old golf course.  They have done an absolutely spectacular job and now due to the amount of money and quality they have since made the golf course into a private club.  One of the largest benefits about owning a condo on Ocean Edge is the fact that you are able to rent it out very successfully throughout the summer.  Ocean Edge is a very popular summer destination and we have no problems getting 8 weeks of rentals in the summer.  Depending on the condo itself some owners receive up to 18 weeks of rentals.  As I have mentioned in my previous emails owning a second home enables you to take advantage of tax benefits.  Talk to an accountant about all the benefits you can get by owning a second home.  There is a wide range of condos to choose from, 1 bedroom condos to 3 bedroom luxury villas.  Over the last year we have seen a dramatic drop in prices in Ocean Edge.  Now is a fantastic time to take advantage of the low prices and invest in a condo today. When you are not using it for yourself enroll your condo into a rental program to help pay for expenses.  Also, just owning the condominium does not give you immediate rights to the pools, tennis and golf.  You have to join the club which is an additional fee.  There is alot of information that you need to know when investing in a second home. Please visit our site at www.oceanedgebrewster.com to find out more info about ocean edge or feel free to call us anytime.  Take care and I will continue to write more about the benefits of Ocean Edge soon. ]]> Buying a Second Home on Cape Cod http://www.capecodrealestatebydan.com/blog//Buying-a-Second-Home-on-Cape-Cod Monday, September 22nd 2008 Cape Cod Real Estate is a unique market that is not feeling as much pinch as the rest of the country.  Being a vacation destination there are many advantages to owning a second home or condo on the Cape.  Great Locations Real Estate has been renting and selling real estate for over 19 years.  One of their specialties are renting out peoples homes and condos.  A great advantage to owning property on the Cape is that your are able to rent out your home or condo when you are not using it. You can usually expect 10-14 weeks of rentals depending on location, size and time of the year. This is a great benefit and will help you pay most of the expenses of owning a second home minus the mortgage. Also the money you gain from rentals you can re-invest into your home to make any needed improvements so when it comes time to retire or use it exclusively for yourself you will have a fully renovated home paid for by your renters.  Another added benefit comes from your tax advantage of owning a second home, and rental home.  Get a hold of your tax adviser to talk to him about all the benefits you will be able to obtain by investing in a second home.  Alot of people think they are unable to afford a second home, but the reality is that it is much more affordable than you think it is. We have seen about a 23% decrease in median listing price since 2005. The market is prime for buyers to come in a grab a great investment for the future.  If you have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right time to pull the trigger, start your search now and make it happen within the next year.  Cape Cod is a beautiful spot and will remain a top destination among New Englanders for many years to come.  So take the time to seriously look into a great investment into your future with a cape home.  Best wishes to all and have a great day.

   The calm after the storm sort of speak applies to cape cod this time of year.  After a long busy summer on Cape Cod Labor Day is the grand finale to the summer.  Although it did not seem as busy as previous years there were still alot of people out and about.  Now that the kids are going back to school and the summer vacationers for the most part have gone home, it is time to really enjoy Cape Cod.  Post Labor Day is a fantastic time to come and visit the cape. There is so much to do this time of year and you can enjoy all that we have to offer without the crowds.  The weather is still very beautiful, and you are able to have great beach days, the golf courses slow down so you don't have the 5 hour rounds anymore, you can pop into your favorite restaurants without reservations and you can explore all the different towns on the Cape without that much traffic.  The off-season is often the best time to maximize your time on Cape Cod and many don't realize that the weather stays beautiful for another couple of months.  The real estate market has actually been very good this summer.  Alot of my clients are able to find great deals on homes and condos and be able to help carry the costs of owning a home by renting it out in the summer and vacationing in the off seasons.  Many people don't realize how affordable  your Cape Cod home could be by maximizing your rentals.  People think that renting out their house will be hard and the wear and tear will be too much to handle, but the reality is guests that vacation to private homes tend to take very good care of their rental homes and often treat it as their own. We rarely have any problems with damage and heavy wear and tear.  If you or your family have been and will continue to come to Cape Cod to vacation you should really look into investing in property.  You will be able to rent it out to help with the costs, have a place to call your own, and reap the tax benefits of owning a second home.  Prices are very good and we have seen a 21% drop in median price. Now is the time to buy that second home you always wanted.  Give me a call today to dicuss your options.   Take care and if you can take a trip to the Cape and see for yourself.]]> Cape Cod Real Estate http://www.capecodrealestatebydan.com/blog//Cape-Cod-Real-Estate Monday, August 11th 2008 Hello,

  I hope everyone is well and enjoying this glorious summer.  The weather has not let us down this year.  As a native you wait all year for summertime to come on Cape Cod and when it does you want it to count.  I have been very busy the last few weeks showing property to clients.  The real estate business has really started to pick up on Cape Cod.  The summer tends to run a bit on the slower side and then when september and especially october roll around people often come out in groves to inspect what is on the market and if there any good deals to be had.  Well the market has dropped about 10% on the Cape and we are seeing some great deals out there.  Also, something to consider is that even though the listing price may be high, sellers are more than willing to negotiate price. So don't let the listing price always determine if you are going to see a listing. Many sellers list there property a bit on the higher side fully knowing they will have to negotiate down.  I think Cape Cod will still drop in price a little, however, the listing prices will stay pretty stable. I would advise getting out there and identifying areas that interest you so that when a house or condo comes on the market you are ready to go.  Also, check with your mortgage broker and get pre-approved, with the mortgage industry these days most sellers want to see some sort of pre-approval.  So get online, give me a call and lets get started finding you the home you have always dreamed of owning. Take care and happy summer.

]]> Summertime on Cape Cod http://www.capecodrealestatebydan.com/blog//Summertime-on-Cape-Cod Tuesday, July 8th 2008
   Summer is finally in full swing and the Cape is once again a bustling community.  It is very nice to see that people are still taking vacations despite this tight economy.  The weather has been cooperating for the most part and there have been some beautiful beach days.  Being a Dennis resident, I am lucky enough to purchase an oversand beach pass which allows me to drive out onto 2 bayside beaches, Crowes Pasture and Chapin Beach.  Last sunday we packed up the car and headed to Crowes to meet up with friends.  Cape Cod is so beatiful in the summer.  As we sat on the beach looking out over the bay sipping our ice cold coronas we watched the kids and grownups enjoy the brewster and dennis flats.  For those of you that don't know low tide on the bayside goes out quite a ways. You can walk out for a mile on the oceans floor, exploring water pockets finding clams, and a multitude of shells.  The bayside beaches are great for kids and adults.  You can go for long walks, explore and enjoy all that it has to offer.  So next time you make a trip to cape cod, make it a point to visit the beautiful bayside beaches.  I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th and hope to see you on the beach soon.]]> Cape Cod Lifestyle http://www.capecodrealestatebydan.com/blog//Cape-Cod-Lifestyle Friday, May 30th 2008 Cape Cod is a fantastic place to be this time of year.  The flowers are in full bloom the days are sunny and warm  and the traffic is still at a minimum.  While I sit in my office in Brewster gazing out at the sunny days I think about how lucky I am to be living on the Cape. With so many outdoor activities to take part in, it is hard to fit them all in.  The kayacking on Cape Cod is truly amazing.  There are so many little estuaries to pop in and out of.  Bass Hole in Yarmouthport remains my favorite spot.  There are so many trips you can take it is sometimes hard to choose.  You can go deep into scorton creek and wind through the river, you can follow the coastline to barnstable harbor, or you can go around chapin beach around to mayflower and corporation beach.  Another favorite is in little pleasant bay in orleans.  Another great outdoor sport to get into is biking.  The cape cod rail trail is an amazing adventure.  You can start in Dennis and make your way all the way to Wellfleet.  Along the way they have stops in Harwich, Brewster, Orleans, and Eastham.  Enjoy a clam roll in brewster at Cobies, stop by and get some chocolate or ice cream at the Chocolate Sparrow in Orleans, how about a quick round of mini golf in Eastham.  Also the cape is home to some great dirt trails as well.  Try Nickerson State Park in Brewster.  That is all for now but will be in touch soon.  I am off to enjoy another beautiful Cape Cod afternoon.
 

]]> What do I do once I get to Cape Cod http://www.capecodrealestatebydan.com/blog//What-do-I-do-once-I-get-to-Cape-Cod Friday, May 16th 2008 Probably the most frequently asked question among clients and guests visiting Cape Cod is "What can I do other than go to the beach".  My answer is usually how long are you here.  Cape Cod has an abundance of activities to keep anyone occupied and excited to be on the cape.  While on Cape Cod, a must do is go on a whale watch. "In 1975 the Dolphin Fleet started whale watching out of Provincetown, Massachusetts with the hope of bringing an understanding and awareness to the public about whales and their environment. They ventured out on educational trips with scientists to study whales as well as educate the public about marine mammals and their habitat". Another interesting day could be spent at the Cape Cod Natural Museum of History. "The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, was founded in 1954. Our mission is to encourage and advance understanding of our natural environment through discovery and learning. The museum is housed in a 17,000 square foot building on its own 80-acre site, abutted by 300 acres of town-owned conservation land". They have amazing conservation walks with guided tours daily. Route 6a has a plethera of antique shops.  Hop in the car and go for a drive down the old kings highway and take in all the eclectic shops 6a has to offer.  Mini golf anyone?  Jump back into the days of the old with a round of mini golf in the hundreds of locations on the cape.  I remember begging my mother and father to stop at Pirates Cove.  I loved that place.  To this day my fiance and I still visit and put in a couple of rounds a year. Speaking of golf, Cape Cod houses a very wide range of golf courses ranging from par 3 courses to pga sanctioned courses.  If you need any advice on what courses to play let me know, I am a golf addict and try to play as many as possible.  This should give you a couple of great things to do on the cape.  I will continue my list in a future blog.  Take care and best wishes for sun and warmer weather.

   Having been in the real estate business for years now I have decided to start a new chapter.  This will be the first of many posts that I will be displaying.  I am happy to hear your feedback and input.  I have been coming to the Cape for my entire life and am happy to call cape cod home.  Currently I am specializing in condominiums and private homes in mashpee, yarmouth, dennis, brewster, and orleans.  I am currently residing in dennis, but have lived in yarmouthport and west yarmouth as well.  Brewster and Dennis are currently where my offices are located.  I have been very closely connected with Ocean Edge Resort and love talking about and introducing people to such a great property.  Ocean Edge Resort is truly one of a kind resort.  They have all the ammenities you could ask for on Cape Cod, indoor and outdoor pools, hard and tru tennis courts, volleyball, basketball, a new Jack Nicklaus golf course and of course a great bayside beach.  Brewster is home to the great Brewster Flats which when the tide goes out you can walk for miles. This being my first blog I wanted to get some general information out there.  I am happy to help you in anyway I can.  Working for a smaller botique real estate office in Brewster, we offer a low key no pressure atmosphere.  I look forward to future postings. 

Thank you,
Daniel Neske]]>
