I said yesterday in my year end review that I believe 2009 is going to be a better year than ’08, and if the first week is any indication we’re in for a great year. We definitely started off with fireworks, with four sales, one new contract, five new listings ...

Happy New Year! Hope you had a joyful celebration with family and friends. It was COLD and windy here, so those bonfires on the beach New Year’s Eve brought very welcome warmth. Time now to take a look back at 2008 and see if there was any renewed fire in ...

For Capers, 2008 will be remembered as the Year of Beach Restoration, so it’s fitting that the project should be nearing completion as we plan our bonfire-on-the-beach New Year’s Eve parties. I stopped at Stumphole this afternoon on the way home from work and got out and shot a few ...

The calendar said Christmas but the weather said summer. What a beautiful warm, sunny week it has been. I hope you had a good holiday with family and friends. Santa brought us one closing and two contracts, three new listings , three new price tags and eleven expired unsold. Our ...

While the rest of the country shovels and shivers, we’ve been savoring warm and sunny weather all week here on the Cape, with uncharacteristically mild temps in the hgh 70’s, low 80’s. Gotta love it. Our white Christmas is of the sandy shoes variety. Wrapping presents and holiday parties apparently ...

Thoughts of shopping fill the air as we draw another week closer to Christmas and Hannukah, and we had a few shoppers decide to pick up a little piece of paradise for some lucky person on their list. Virtually no change in our inventory, standing steady at 378, down one ...

Can it really be December already? Doesn’t seem possible but it’s most definitely the first weekend of December because two of the biggest rivals in college football are on for this afternoon: the 109th meeting of Army-Navy kicks off at noon and Florida and Alabama rumble at 4. I don’t ...

I hope you had a pleasant Thanksgiving. It was a gorgeous day here on the Cape, warm and clear. Lots of people here for the holiday, with this traditionally being when our many absentee owners who rent their homes block this week out for them and their families to use. ...

No evidence of global warming around the Cape this morning – IT’S COLD OUTSIDE! It was 40 out here on the peninsula when I woke up, and according to weather.com it was 35 in town. There’s been a bit of a chill on our local real estate market this week ...

Another week of beautiful autumn weather here on the Cape with warm days, calm waves, and clear, deserted beaches. Not a lot of visitors this time of year, and typically real estate activity begins to quiet as we head into the holiday season, but this week we had a definite ...

Encouraging news from the Florida Association of Realtors. For the first time in almost three years, Florida’s existing home sales rose in September, noting a 24 percent increase in activity in the year-to-year comparison; last month’s sales of existing condos statewide increased 11 percent in the year-to-year comparison, according to ...

What a tumultuous week. The 22-month campaign marathon finally, mercifully came to an end while the stock market continues to whip wildly back and forth like a loose fire hose. It doesn’t look as if the stock market is going to be the safe haven of choice any time soon, ...
