(Centsable Inspection)
An Orleans MA home buyer should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Facts for Consumers Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase. A standard home inspection in Massachusetts is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building consisting of one to four dwelling units. It should be understood that there are certain risks inherent in the purchase of property and a home inspection is inherently limited in its scope and depth. The information gained from home inspection conforming to the Massachusetts Home Inspector Standards of Practice may reduce some of those risks, but the home inspection is not intended to provide the client with protection from all of the risks involved.

  It is good to see an uptick in housing prices and in Plymouth, MA and Cape Cod we are following what appears to be a national trend.  Prices on Cape have seen double digit growth this year and Plymouth County around 5%.  Though when you look on a monthly basis they can rise and fall.  But we'll take any gains we can. I was working on Cape this week in Orleans.  A very desirable town with great amenities and beaches to die for.  Nowhere is more beautiful than East Orleans with access to Nauset Beach, marshes and terrific real estate that gets more expensive the closer you get to the water or views of the water. I have a savvy client and we have been looking in this area for over a year for just the right home.  He is from off Cape and he typically sends me homes that interest him from...

Here is the new Skaket Beach Web Cam! It went live this week. Now, when you want to verify the weather on this Lower Cape / Outer Cape beach, you can use the web cam. It is scheduled to refresh every 60 seconds. Here on the Cape, we often have different weather than is reported by "Off Cape" TV stations and radio stations. With the introduction of web cams, you can now get traffic, weather, and event information. Many towns are installing web cams in various areas to encourage tourism. If the camera posted in this blog is down, you can go to the web site: http://nausetbeach.org/ It's a beautiful day on Cape Cod. Skaket Beach Camera
