What are Luxury Buyers looking for in a Cape Cod property?
recent article in the National Association of Realtors magazine the two top things that Luxury Buyers are looking for in a home is a sprawling views and a chef’s kitchen. We are finding that our clients agree with the results of the article and study but with one exception and that is Location. Certainly view of the beach or a golf course are appealing to our Luxury clients, they tend to be more specific about what beach or golf course they are overlooking. For example, some prefer to a view of Cape Cod Bay over Nantucket Sound for various reasons and some prefer private golf courses over public ones. Take for example our newest listing at 109 Seaside Avenue in Dennis, MA currently on the market for $895,901. This property offers views of Cape Cod Bay from the front yard and is directly across the street from a park that abuts Corporation Beach. There are a couple of things that have been mentioned by our clients relative to this location that is particularly appealing. The first is that they have views of Cape Cod Bay but are not on Cape Cod Bay. They would not have to worry about winter storms and what havoc a storm might bring on their property. Secondly they like that there is a park across the street so they do not have to worry about anyone ever blocking their view with a new house. For all of your Cape Cod Luxury Real Estate needs, call us today. We will listen to what you are looking for and put our vast knowledge of Cape Cod to work for you!]]>

Winterization Tips for your Cape Cod Home
Important Winterization Tips for your Cape Cod Home The calendar will soon make it official, winter is here! Now is the time to make sure your home is ready for old man winter. While we typically do not get as much snow on Cape Cod as they do “off Cape” we do have our years where I wonder if I live at the Beach of in the Mountains! While there are all sorts of ways to “predict” what kind of winter we will have the best advice I can offer is to prepare your home and property as if it is going to be a harsh one! Here are a few must do things:
- Bring in your garden houses and drain all of your outside water spigots. While you are at it, do not forget about that Outside Shower!
- Clean all of your outdoor patio and yard furniture then store them inside until spring.
- Replace the screens in your storm doors with glass and pull down your storm windows.
- Clean your gutters of any leaves.
- If you have a fireplace and plan on using it, having it cleaned by a licensed Chimney Sweep is a good idea.
- Have your Furnace/Boiler cleaned and inspection to ensure it is in top working condition.
- Winterize your lawn mower and other warm weather related tools that you use.
- Get your Ice melt, shovels, snow blower and plow ready (and hope you won’t need any of them)
- If your home is a season one you should have someone who can inspect it from time to time while you are away to report any problems to you immediately. Foran Realty provides this service and would be happy to be there for you. Please call us for more details.
