~ A Year in Review ~ 10 Things I have Learned on My Life Changing Journey in 2012



Nichole R. Willey shares a little of herself in this blog post reflecting on 2012, her first as a Keller Williams agent ~


Whether it is to buy a dream home on Cape Cod, invest in Cape Cod Real Estate, or sell your property on the Cape, Nichole R. Willey is a specialist that will help you get to the closing table. Call or text her directly anytime at 508 - 737 - 3567.

I am committed to delivering courteous, professional and timely service that will assist you in better understanding the home sale process. I am a trained, certified real estate agent specializing in the Cape Cod market and am prepared to help you find the right home for the best price. Call me now for your confidential  no obligation appointment and see for yourself how I go above and beyond your expectations to get the job done and done well.


Out with the old and in with the new...in more ways than one! Do you take the time to reflect on the year just passed and plan for the one to come? It has never been so important for me as it is now. Why? In a word, CHANGE. Things change. I have changed. A little over one year ago I made a life changing decision. It was one in a series, some I was in control of, some I wasn't. This one was done with PURPOSE and I had a PLAN. It was something that had developed over the previous three years...and I am happy to report it is working!! Joining Keller Williams Cape Cod was the best thing I could have done for many reasons...and being a Realtor is fun, challenging and amazing all rolled into one! I know I am so much more too, that is the best part!

I have always joked about not knowing "what I want to be" when I grow up. I loved my job as a teacher, especially my students and co-workers, but there were parts of it that didn't fit, and even before I got laid off in the summer of 2009, I was searching for something additional. Nothing specific, but more than what I had. There are things I have learned, about myself, my family, my newest career, and the world at large this year that I am not sure I would have come across elsewhere. In no particular order, these are 10 things that I have learned in 2012. Some of these things I may have heard before, but it wasn't time for me to listen or perhaps put it into practice. I didn't create these things, they weren't mine, but they are now, and I am choosing to share, just like others have done before me, so I could benefit. Maybe now is your time to hear, or listen, as you choose...

~ Numbers matter
~ Consistency is key
~ Time block/ Prioritize
~ What you focus on expands
~ There is a fine line between competency and chaos
~ The value of a plan comes with the actions connected to it
~ Time with family and friends is important, so is time to relax and enjoy life
~ Its important to figure out what you are good at, and work on what you aren't
~ Self-improvement is an on-going process, it can be fun, and sometimes painful
~ Surround yourself with people you want to be like, watch them, ask them questions, take the time to learn from them

There is more that I took in this past year, and more I will take in this coming year. I am ever so grateful for both. I will elaborate on each of these in future posts, so stay tuned...feel free to reflect and share.

BUYING NOW vs. BUYING LATER ~ HOW MIGHT IT AFFECT YOU?????????????????


Wondering if now is the time to buy? 


Call Nichole R. Willey at 508.737.3567 with questions or to schedule a private appointment. www.findmycapecodhome.com is your real estate resource for finding the perfect home!

http://www.findmycapecodhome/search/

















WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW? Read on to find out...

A Shifting Market

There is a shift in the market taking place as we speak in certain price brackets. Inventory is minimal, even non-existent in some areas. There are more buyers in the market now than in the previous 3 years due to low interest rates and the ability for people to obtain financing. So with more buyers looking to buy and less inventory, the laws of supply and demand predict that the competition will drive prices up. Still not convinced that now is your time to buy?? Read on...

Changes in Mortgage Legislation

Have you heard of the QRM Ruling, or the Qualified Residential Mortgage Rule? It is part of the Dodd-Frank legislation. Look it up. What does it mean for you? Basically, the cost of getting a mortgage is going to be much higher...Right now, there are programs available with 0% down, or as little as 3% for other programs. With the changes taking place in the near future (like January 2013!) buyers will be required to put 20% down on a federally backed mortgage (FYI, that is between 85 and 95% of the loans written today!!)

Changes in Interest Rates

Wait! There's more!! Interest rates are going to change too! They are expected to rise at least one full point by the end of 2013! According to MarketWatch on 10/24/12, by the end of the first quarter of 2013, interest rates for a 30-year fixed mortgage will be approximately 3.9%, and 4.4% by the end of the 4th quarter. Get on the ball and speak to a mortgage expert today to find out what your options are and when the best time for you to purchase will be. Call me to get the search process started...Nichole R. Willey ~ 508.737.3567.

Selling Your House on Cape Cod: When to Sell?


Selling Your House on Cape Cod: When to Sell?

Now is the time, so call or text Nichole R. Willey at 508.737.3567 to get your complimentary market analysis. 


Selling Your House on Cape Cod:  When to Sell?
Some traditional markets have better seasonal selling months than others.  Cape Cod may have bitter cold or snow that may stop a potential buyer from heading out in the “elements” to buy a home.  And it may have that hot humid heat in the summer that you would think could stop buyers from searching for a home but its not true!
Cape Cod real estate attracts many types of buyers:  first time buyers, vacation & second home buyers, retiree buyers & investor buyers along with those in the market for a primary residence.
Spring, Summer, Winter or Fall – there is no best season to sell a house on Cape Cod.
January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November or December – there is no best month to sell a house on Cape Cod.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day, Fourth of July, Back to School, Halloween – there is no best holiday to "wait until after" to sell a house on Cape Cod.
Take a look at these graphs:

Sales for 2012 to date have topped the total amount of homess sold in 2006, when there were the most houses available for sale on the Cape. In the graphs above, blue represents 2012 listings, gold represents 2011 listings. In the chart above, you can see that there are less overall listings in 2012, to date, compared to the total amount that were listed in 2011. And when you look at the second graph, you can see that more homes and condos have sold in 2012, to date, than were sold in all of 2011. 
Any house will sell if it is:
  • Priced correctly for current market conditions
  • Available for appointments
  • In good repair
  • Shows well
  • Marketed to target audiences correctly
The Cape Cod real estate market breaks all the "norms" when it comes to the best time of year to list your home for sale. If you want to sell your house, the seasons, months & holidays do not play a role as there are always buyers available. Consider instead who you choose to work with and what they will do for you. 


I am committed to delivering courteous, professional and timely service that will assist you in better understanding the home sale process. I am a trained, certified real estate agent specializing in the Cape Cod market and am prepared to help you find the right home for the best price. Call me now for your confidential  no obligation appointment and see for yourself how I go above and beyond your expectations to get the job done and done well.
