Plymouth MA Foreclosures, Short Sales and Bank Owned Real Estate for Sale Purchasing a home at a Plymouth MA foreclosures auction has many risks to a potential buyer and in most cases the bank will bid and take possession of the property at auction. The property is then referred to as bank owned, REO (real estate owned) or foreclosed property. To search the MA MLS listings visit Plymouth MA MLS listings. A home owner may attempt a "short sale" whereby the bank agrees to accept less than the mortgage balance based on the owner's hardship and financial status. Obtaining approval can be a long and difficult process. Additionally, there is no assurance that the lender will accept an offer at or above the listed price. Bank-owned and short sale listings are often marketed with a real estate ...

I invite you to take a virtual tour of Plymouth Massachusetts. There is plenty to see and do if you are just visiting, but there is much to love if you want to live and play in Plymouth or any of the surrounding communities.Since this is my tour, I decided that we will be taking the stretch limo. Climb in, there is plenty of room. Get comfy, and help yourself to a beverage. We will make a stop for lunch later. Hmmm...now the only question is where to go first! By the way, we can pull over for photo opportunities, but make sure you don't wander far, we only have so much time!First stop, Plimoth Plantation. Many of you are familiar with the history and story of the Pilgrims voyage to the new land back in the 1600's. If you want to step back in time and get a glimpse of what life was like ...

I met Neil King this week in Plymouth. He and his sons and nephew are hard working and local excavation specialists. They also inspect septic systems. One of the necessary inspections for selling a home in MA is a Title V septic inspection. The section of the MA laws governing septics is called Title V, so many people ask me, "Is this a Title V system?" In fact, the answer to that question can be misleading. A better question, and more correct is, "Does this system pass the Title V inspection criteria?" And that one should be followed up with, "When was it installed?," or "Are the components modern or is it a cesspool?" You can see a comparison diagram of septic systems by clicking here. Some towns in MA still allow a cesspool to pass a Title V inspection if the system is performing cor...

The Massachusetts Association of Realtors  (MAR) has reported that sales for October 2009 are up 17.7% from October 2008. Statewide 3,828 single family homes sold this October vs. 3,252 in October 2008. It was also the largest single month gain since November 2004, and the largest increase of sales from September to October since 2002.  Although these statistics might be a little closer than using national statistics, it is still not a clear indication of what might be happening in your town or neighborhood. Real estate is local and in some instances, hyper-local. One area may be realizing better than average results while another has seen fewer sales and larger price reductions. The results can vary dramatically or can follow a similar trend to the national or state sales results.  The...

When we have taken gratitude and humility before God out of all the schools and off all the coins, what will happen to the monuments like this one in Plymouth, MA? The "National Monument To The Forefathers" is located on a hilltop on a quiet side street in Plimouth. The inscriptions are chiseled in stone and include the list of Mayflower passengers, a quote from Governor William Bradford recognizing God, and a statement of gratitude that reads, "Erected by a grateful people in remembrance of their labor, sacrifice and sufferings for the cause of civil and religious liberty." The quote from Governor Bradford reads, "Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by his hand that made all things of nothing and gives being to all things that are. And as one small candle may...

I recently met Dave O'Connor of O'Connor Painting in Plymouth, MA. He has been painting real estate for decades. I have included a few pictures here so you can see some of the finished work he has done. Whether you need a whole house painted for selling or just some professional touch ups, he and his crew take pride in doing it right and on time. Dave also has a "secret" formula and method for brightening weathered shingles. Power washing should be done correctly so the shingles aren't damaged. The formula for brightening shingles needs to be strong enough to brighten the shingles without hurting the shrubs and plantings around your house, too. The O'Connor Painting crews know how to brighten your shingles correctly and carefully. If you are in the Pine Hills, Plymouth, or Manomet, area...
