VOTE. 👊

Southcoast Sloop Volume. 41

Dartmouth Town Election are this Tuesday April 7th. Your voice makes a difference. The town of Dartmouth has roughly 35,000 residents with about 25,000 registered voters; yet historically, only 2,000 to 4,000 people actually vote. That’s it. A very small fraction ends up deciding what happens in our town, while everyone else weighs in afterward. Please mark your calendars.... and don’t be “that guy” complaining about your taxes or water bill going up if you didn’t vote. Polls open 7 AM – 8 PM.

We'll see you there!

Dartmouth Spring Market Update:

It’s officially spring and we couldn’t be happier to have the colder days behind us. This past weekend I attended a few open houses and what a difference from just a few weeks ago. When a property is priced right, there’s a line out the door. When it’s even slightly overpriced, it’s a completely different story. What you’ll see is just a handful of buyers trickling through, taking their time, and in many cases, walking away. Interest rates are still hovering in the mid to high six percent range, and while that has kept some buyers on the sidelines, serious buyers haven’t gone anywhere. With everything going on in the world, buyers are cautious, as they should be. They’re watching pricing closely and they’re not jumping the way they used to. We’re no longer seeing inspections being waived or homes going hundreds of thousands over asking.

The wealth gap is widening. Real estate has always been one of the most powerful tools for building wealth, but it has also widened the gap between those who got in early and those who didn’t. In the past few weeks, I’ve spoken to couples looking to buy a second vacation home close to the water and the very next day, I’ll meet someone who needs advice on selling because they’re a few months behind on their mortgage payments. With the cost of goods and services at an all-time high, one unexpected expense turns into three. A project that was supposed to cost ten thousand turns into thirty. Before you know it, the situation starts to spiral. Early-stage delinquency numbers are ticking up, and while we’re not seeing a flood of foreclosures the way we did in 2008, there has been a noticeable increase in pre-foreclosure activity and bank-owned properties (REOs) beginning to re-enter the market.

If you follow real estate, you’ve probably heard of Ryan Serhant, one of the most recognizable brokers in the country and founder of SERHANT, who has built a massive brand in the industry. In a recent interview, he described real estate as “a lottery,” pointing out that a significant portion of today’s wealth came from people who happened to buy before prices surged and interest rates climbed. There’s truth to that. There are homeowners sitting on hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity simply because of timing, while others are struggling just to keep up with monthly payments in a very different market. I think we’re about to enter some interesting times in real estate and my prediction is that next year we will start to see a surplus of inventory. When I made the decision to leave the corporate world and jump into real estate, I said that I never wanted to be a “luxury-only” broker or someone who only works with foreclosures. I wanted to be able to help everyone no matter what challenges await facing. It’s about listening, understanding the situation, and coming up with creative solutions to help people move forward no matter what industry they’re in. Right now, that matters more than ever.
