Third Quarter Sales Activity Report

The summer real estate market picked up markedly beginning in June and July, resulting in many third quarter sales. Many buyers, who had been waiting out the market for the past few years, came off the sidelines this summer and decided to buy. Low interest rates and the first time homebuyer credit have also helped to spur activity. The general feeling is that the market has leveled off and is not expected to drop significantly further. Despite the increased summer activity, the number of sales in Provincetown and Truro are still down about 50% off of last year’s figures while Wellfleet held fairly even with last year’s sales (which had already suffered a large decrease over the previous year).

The following charts compare year-to-date sales figures with the same period last year and report on the average Days on Market of the property that sold.
