Plymouth County Living

Plymouth County holds a place in the history of our country unlike any region in America. Plymouth was the site of our country's first Thanksgiving Feast in 1620, as the Pilgrims arrived and established the first colony in the new world. The town of Plymouth was the first municipality established in the founding of New England and one of the oldest in our country. The Town of Plymouth served as the capitol of Plymouth Colony until 1691 when The Massachusetts Bay Colony was formed. Plymouth is named after an English city of the same name, Plymouth England. Plymouth County is the largest municipality in the state and has just over 500,000 resi-

dents living in approximately 190,000 homes in 27 cities and towns bordered on the north by Norfolk County and south by Barnstable County (Cape Cod). The County is blessed with miles of waterfront communities and beaches stretching from Quincy to Plymouth along Massachusetts Bay. To the south from Wareham to Fairhaven it borders the shores of Buzzards Bay. Plymouth County is ideally located with easy access to Boston, Cape Cod and both Logan Airport in Boston and Green Airport in RI. Proximity-wise Plymouth County and its beautiful small rural towns and amazing coastline communities has always been a top choice for those that work in the metro Boston market.

NEHomeLife.com| |September Plymouth County 58 NEHomeLife.com 2016 Living | September 2016 58 NEHomeLife.com | July 2012

Plymouth County real estate trends over last year have been looking up to say the least. Plymouth County Registry of Deeds reports that home sales continued to rise for the month of May 2016 with 112 more home sales for the month of May 2016, compared to May 2015. Also every month in 2016 has seen comparable increases of year 2015. So far in 2016, there have been

Sharon McNamara Broker Owner Boston Connect Real Estate Services Bostonconnect.com 781.826.8000

3666 real estate sales compared to 2866 during the same period in 2015 calculating to a 28% increase in the County. This pace is all the more notable when considering the lower inventory of available homes for sale. While mortgage rates continue to be stable, buyers looking at quality listings are often times bidding over asking prices to insure their offers are accepted.

Sharon McNamara is Broker/Owner and Founder of Boston Connect Real Estate with offices in Pembroke and Bridgewater. Sharon prides herself at being a market advisor for her clients. She is the host of “Talk Real Estate Radio on 95.9 FM WATD where she covers market trends and real estate topics weekly.

We specialize in Connecting Boston to the South Shore with complete service to all of Eastern Massachusetts. Navigating our clients through the process of buying or selling their home is what we do best. A market with low inventory often creates emotional decisions that could lead to regret in the end.

While coastal communities have always been sought after in Plymouth County, there now seems to be a strong resurgence in many rural communities like Middleboro, Lakeville, Halifax, Plympton and Hanson. These rural towns offer residents an opportunity to live close to the major metropolitan areas of Boston while enjoying life in a small close knit community. Middleboro real estate median home values climbed from under $190,000 in 2000 to over $350,000, one of Plymouth Counties

Ann Peck Broker Associate Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Plymouth, MA | 508.747.1300 apeck@ownnewengland.com

fastest growing communities along with Lakeville who had 5% growth in four years from 2010 -2014. Along the Eastern Shore of Plymouth County from Plymouth to Hull there are magnificent water view and waterfront homes and estates, great beaches, fantastic waterfront attractions and restaurants. Plymouth is visited by over 1 million tourists each year who visit the Mayflower and Plymouth Rock. Plymouth is planning a waterfront revitalization project with many improvements along its historic coastline.

Ann has been in real estate for over 20 years in Plymouth County under Mayflower Realty, Prudential Prime and now Berkshire Hathaway Home Services. Ann said, "The market has seen a lot of positives over the last few years. Prices are increasing and inventories are decreasing creating a sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market. There are still some foreclosures out there but overall the market is healthy. First time buyer are having a difficult time finding homes in the $200,00 to $250,000 range throughout the region. In addition, the upper end market from $600,000 to 1 million has softened considerably. All in all, we have very positive outlook moving forward through the fallâ&#x20AC;?.

In southern most Plymouth County the coastal towns of Wareham, Mattapoisett and Marion border Buzzards Bay overlooking the Elizabeth Islands which separate the mainland from Martha’s Vineyard. All of the Elizabeth Islands are privately owned by the Forbes family from Boston, MA except Cuttyhunk and Penikese which are accessible to the public. Marion is a small town with only 5000 residents and about 2000 households. Cape Cod

style architecture is prevalent throughout the new and historic homes in the town. Homes range from the $200’s to seaside estates priced in the millions. Marion is bordered on the east by Wareham and the west by Mattapoisett along Buzzards Bay. The character and historic charm of these town makes them popular choices for homeowners looking for easy access to the Cape and bordering South coastal cities.

The Kim Dawes & Caty Starr team have only been in the Real Estate business a few years but have become one of the region’s top teams for Jack Conway. Kim said, "Being part of a team gives us the ability to provide better service to our clients helping them buy or sell their home. Our team covers the entire Plymouth County region working out of the Duxbury Jack Conway office. The market is literally crazy right now with so many buyers and limited inventory on the market in most communities. Often times buyers are submitting offers that are thousands over the asking price to increase their chances of getting a home. First time home buyer programs are very strong right now, it is an excellent time to buy your first home. The condo market is very active with some development pre-selling prior to construction. We are seeing more and more buyer coming out of the Boston market with the rapid rise in prices in the city.”

County 62 NEHomeLife.com || Plymouth September 2016 Living | September 2016 62 NEHomeLife.com NEHomeLife.com | July 2012

Plymouth County will see increased new home development over the next decade with state sponsored programs for new construction, affordable housing and the need for better planned communities for living and raising families. With a strong market being pushed by Millennials getting into the market and boomers downsizing to smaller more manageable homes that require less upkeep and maintenance in their later years. The migration of more and more buyers to the South Shore, Plymouth County and the Southcoast will continue as property values and living cost escalate in the metro Boston market. The good news is the greater Bos-

Shari Marquis Sales Associate Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Plymouth, MA | 617.201.5782

ton economy is strong as it rides a three year wave of lower unemployment. This is drawing more people to the area to cash in on the opportunity. The bad news: All these new people need places to live, making the demand for housing rapidly rise. These factors are driving housing cost over $500,000 with a 7.8% increase in the last year alone. Median sales prices for a home in Boston as of May 2016 were $541,000 and this number is expected to increase by as much as 5% by mid 2017. Rents in the metro Boston market are no better, with property tax increases up 1520% in many areas around the city in the last few years which is driving the rental market.

Sheri has been 30 years in the real estate industry in the Plymouth County region of Massachusetts. Sheri said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is a strong market with lots of buyers out there competing for fewer inventories than we have seen in some time. Higher end listings in the $600,000 and above range are still not seeing great activity, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about value and price in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market. The condo market has seen a strong resurgence throughout the region and prices have been up. For first time buyer the challenge is finding quality listings in the $250,000 to $300,000 range that do not require a great deal of updating. Quality listing that are priced in line are drawing a lot of activity and do not last very long in a market like this."

In the last 3 years both Plymouth and Bristol Counties have seen population growth yearly in many communities. Much of this is attributed to a rapidly escalating cost of housing and living in the greater Boston market. More and more middle class, boomers and millennial workers in Boston are looking south at more affordable housing options in communities that have more open space, a slower pace and lower cost of living overall. Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle class has been under siege for years trying to

cope with shrinking expendable income and surging living cost in and around the city. Where to live is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make. If you are planning a family or just looking to downsize in a smaller community, there are endless choices at almost every price point in Plymouth County. With easy access to Boston from the entire region and a number of commuter options, most find the transition quite easy and the open space and quaint towns a refreshing change.

Mary Jo has been in real estate over 25 years working in the Kingston area of Plymouth County. Mary Jo said, "The market has been very busy over the last few years at almost every price point. The condo market has seen a very strong upswing throughout Plymouth County and prices have increased with the increased demand. My passion is first time homebuyers as I really enjoy the process of getting a first time buyer into their first home. It is a rewarding experience to say the least. I continue to work with many bank owned properties and feel there are better programs than ever to get these homes sold. Over the Mary Jo Cunningham Success Real Estate years I have handled listings from Quincy to Cape Cod and love the Plymouth, MA | 781.582.6398 Plymouth County regionâ&#x20AC;?. cunninghammaryjo@gmail.com

Ensuring your lawn looks great and you have a great time doing it. Toro Attachments: The Cargo Carrier is the perfect attachment for homeowners who need to haul mulch, tools, and whatever else needs to be transported around the yard.

It has two 6.5 bushel (8 cubic feet) capacity bags ensuring your yard work is done as quickly and efficiently as possible. Collecting everything from debris to the little odds and ends yard clippings. The 42â&#x20AC;ł Recycler Mulch Kit gives homeowners a chance to create their own natural mulch.

5 Ways to Finance Your Home Improvement Project by Amanda Andrews Have you looked at your home and wished for a beautiful designer kitchen with granite counter tops or a master bedroom balcony? The good news is that you can have all this and more if you are wise with your money. Choosing to conduct a home improvement project is always a rational decision. You will never lose, as long as you don’t get too carried away and make luxury improvements on a property with a low value. Any work that is executed will always add value to your property. Thus meaning, you can easily regain the cost of the project when you someday decide to sell. In the meantime, you can enjoy the fruits of your labor, and it’s a win-win situation. Create your dream home today! Here are five ways to finance a home improvement project today: 1. Refinance your Mortgage Did you finance your home a few years ago and your interest rate is higher than current market rates? If so,mortgage refinancing could lower it and your monthly payments. This could free up cash for your dream renovation! Also consider a cash-out refinance to adopt some of your home’s equity. Lenders will commonly let you borrow enough to pay off your current mortgage and take out up to 80% of your home’s value in cash. Think carefully though before you launch this type of refinance: You’ll be using your home as collateral for a bigger loan, and you’ll be financing short-term costs with longterm debt. This adds interest and other fees to the price of the renovations. 2. Credit Cards If you don’t have the cash up front, plastic will allow you to make purchases and may also give rewards for every dollar you spend. Generally credit cards come with higher interest rates than other types of financing, so you’ll want to make sure you can pay your balance off in full each month. The best way to use a credit card to fund 72

home improvements is to apply for a new card with a long interest free period. 3. Cash Paying cash is always the best option. Use your savings if possible, you won’t have to pay any interest and there are no repayments to worry about. If you choose this option just keep in mind that you lose the ability to invest that money, and this reduces your available cash for retirement accounts and emergencies. 4. Store Finance If you are looking for a brand new kitchen or bathroom many stores offer finance for their products. You could spread the cost out for up to five years. 5. Personal Loans Personal loans are offered by banks and credit unions and can be secured or unsecured and repaid with interest over 24 to 60 months. If you have excellent credit the interest rates are generally lower than credit card interest rates. Interest rates are often higher with personal loans than with mortgage refinancing, there is also a shorter window to repay the money. This shorter window means your monthly payments could be higher than they would be with any of the other options, but you will end up paying less interest in general.

ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE

Custom Closet Geeks has the Solution and it works!

Organization is the art of having things in the right place in life so we may have easy access to them. A simple premise but in reality, the lack of organization accounts for most of the wasted time in our lives. While it is true that our phones and computers have organized our contacts, schedules, workflow and communications our living and working spaces have lagged well behind the trend. So I can fit 2000 documents into my PDA and find any one of them in a minute and forward it to whomever, but I still have trouble finding the right cloths to wear every day or that can of mushrooms for my soufflé that I bought 2 days ago. I am perplexed why every home that has been built in the last 200 years makes little or no provisions for organization and function to accommodate all the things that we acquire in a life time. So let’s see, I am going to pay $350,000 for this great house but there is no place to put anything I own where I can see it and have easy access to it. With all the other pressures

we have on our time, you would think that seeing and finding things with ease would be a first priority for all of us each and every day. Dressing well is not about what you have but more about how well you see it before you put it on. If time is the most expensive thing we spend in life then we are spending a fortune on disorganization.

When to Refinance Your Mortgage

If you’re wondering whether to refinance your home loan, you’re not alone. It’s hard to know exactly when to refinance. Before refinancing your mortgage, here are seven factors you should consider. amount of time, refinancing may be a good idea. 3. Your loan type Saving money is only one of the benefits of refinancing your mortgage loan. Another reason many people refinance is to switch the type of loan they have. Some customers start out with an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) loan to take advantage of the low initial rate, then refinance into a fixed rate product before the rate increases at the end of the adjustment period.

1. Interest rates (And They Are Great Right Now) A general guideline for deciding whether you should refinance your home is to find out if you can get your interest rate lowered by at least 2 points. This two-point figure is generally accepted as the safe margin when determining if the cost of refinancing a mortgage is worth the potential savings. However, other experts believe that mortgage refinancing is worthwhile even if you’re only able to secure a 1 ½ point decrease, if you plan to remain in your home for at least three years. 2. Length of time you plan to stay in your home To find out how long it will take to recover refinancing costs, divide the total cost of refinancing by the amount you’ll save on your mortgage payment each month. The resulting number is the length of time, in months, that it will take to break even. If you plan to stay in your current home longer than this

4. Your home equity Another reason many homeowners choose to refinance is to build equity faster, or to leverage the equity they already have. When you refinance a 30year loan to a 15-year loan, you’ll build equity twice as fast. This refinance strategy will also help you save money in interest because it will only take you half the time to pay off your loan payment. On the other hand, if you’ve already built some equity in your home, you can tap into it to help fund education, home improvements or other unexpected expenses. With this strategy, you may refinance your mortgage loan for more than you currently owe to get access to the cash you need. 5. Your credit score When you applied for your current mortgage, your rate was determined in part by your credit score at the time. If your score has improved significantly since taking out the loan, it may be a good time to refinance your home. The criteria that determine the credit-score-to-loan-rate relationship may change over time as well, meaning that a credit score that used to be considered average may now be considered above average. Requesting annual credit reports can help you monitor your credit score and help you decide when to refinance your home.

NMLS#616522

6. PMI If your loan balance is less than 80% of your home’s value, private mortgage insurance (PMI) is usually not required. Eliminating PMI doesn’t always require refinancing, but refinancing your home can remove this unnecessary expense while restructuring your loan for a lower rate or different term length. 7. Your loan terms If your goal is to build equity in your home quickly and you’re less concerned with lowering your monthly payment, you may want to refinance to a shorter-term mortgage. You’ll probably pay more per month, but a shorter loan term means that you’ll own your home sooner and pay less in interest over the course of the loan. As an added bonus, you can access that extra equity later for an emergency or a large purchase through a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or home equity loan (HEIL). Knowing when to refinance a mortgage loan can be tricky, so speak with a financial advisor before making such an important decision. Also use our mortgage refinance calculator to get an idea of what your refinance home loan rate and monthly payments might be. * The Power of a Good Mortgage Consultant There are literally hundreds of online sources all over the web a private consultation.
