I Am a Weeping English Beech Tree  On a very recent trip to Boston for the CRS/NAR meetings, we spent some time on Cape Cod in Brewster with a very dear friend.  One afternoon while out touring around she showed us this amazing, 100+-year-old tree, an English Weeping Beech, in Yarmouth Port. It was just beckoning to be photographed.  11/06/2018

Fannie, Freddie Kill Again - PACE Program Scares Them This is indeed unfortunate.  Fannie and Freddie, the evil twins of social engineering excess, have reached from the crypt to destroy a really useful program - PACE, which allows property owners to pay for the cost of energy improvements to their homes or businesses through an additional charge on their property tax.  Yes, Fannie and Freddie kill again - PACE program scares them!!  Read the story, Fannie, Freddie Kill PACE Program, by clicking the link. Most people never heard of this program, because it was not well publicized, and only available in seven states.  How it worked was pretty simple. If you wanted, say, photo-electric panels on your roof [solar panels that make electricity] the power company paid for them and put a lien ... 07/09/2010

Mortgage Rates on July 8, 2010 - Improving, or...? Here are some of the events affecting mortgage rates today: What Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) Are Doing Today: The price of the FNMA 30-Year 4.0% MBS coupon opened at 101.41 this morning - the same as yesterday's close. At 9:30 AM, the 4.0% MBS coupon was trading at 101.28 - down 4/32 from its opening. Remember, on mortgage backed securities (MBSs), as the price goes down, the yield goes up - and so do mortgage rates. I expect that mortgage rates will be up to 0.250 points worse in price this morning as compared to yesterday morning. Price Trend in Mortgage Backed Securities: The chart below shows the price trend of the FNMA 30-Year 4.0% coupon over the past 30 days from 6-8-2010 to 7-8-2010: Economic Reports, News, and Events Affec... 07/08/2010

ON CAPE COD THE MOVE TO ASSISTED LIVING CREATES GOOD LISTINGS During yesterday's MLS Tour in Yarmouth, here on Cape Cod, I was once again reminded how the move to assisted living creates good listings for all of us. Of the twelve listings on tour, four were the result of a move to assisted living. An extended stay in one of the great assisted living facilities here on Cape Cod is fairly expensive, whether the facility is in Yarmouth or the neighboring towns of Barnstable, Dennis, Harwich Brewster, Chatham or Orleans, averaging $50,000 to $60,000 per year. Someone who can afford this generally has a home that is fairly nice and reasonably well maintained. Here are some quick observations of what we saw on the tour. Each of the properties we looked at were priced somewhat within the realm... 06/02/2010

SELLING MOM'S HOUSE AND MOVING HER TO ASSISTED LIVING CAN SHORTEN HER LIFE? After this morning's MLS Tour in Yarmouth, here on Cape Cod, you can see that selling Mom's house and moving her to assisted provides us with great real estate inventory, but I wonder if selling Mom's house and moving her to assisted living can shorten her life. Of the twelve houses and condominiums on the tour, four were owned by older residents who put the house on the market after moving into assisted living. An interesting fact to me was that of the four, only one of the residents moved into one of our fine local assisted living facilities - the listing agent didn't know if it was Thirwood Place, in South Yarmouth, or Mayflower Place in West Yarmouth, but it was one of them. Even the woman that put her condo... 06/01/2010
