Rain Go Away: Big Weekend Ahead 10/4-5

This is it, the big Fall for the Arts weekend in Falmouth, Hyannis and of course Dennis! The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod and the View are putting on the show along with a few others of us, such as the Dennis Arts and Culture Council . Come for music, art, cuisine, a terrific art raffle, and more.

It’s been a slower week or two, with the economy diving and as I write the Dow has plunged deeper than ever for one day. Uncertainty is the watchword, with credit tight or just not available. Let’s watch and wait, and hope the coming weeks bring greater confidence and a resurgence of the credit market.

Validation a la Sally Field

Well it was certainly nice to read today’s Boston Globe Sunday magazine and find myself validated vis a vis my proclamations regarding the nature of localized markets and the upswing here on the Cape. I’ve got to watch out for these guys taking words from this writer’s mouth. Scan back and this is what I’ve been saying for three to four months: multiple offers and above asking price sales. I know this by watching the market and knowing it intimately, not conducting a few interviews. I’m living this market, writing offers on $200k short sales and selling $1.75 million historic homes. Incidentally, I was mentioned in yesterday’s (9/6/08) Cape Cod Times for achieving my Accredited Buyers’ Representative status. Please let me know if I can assist you in any way.
