Letter from the editor

“Living on Cape Cod is simply matchless by all measures, residents will tell you that in most cases the feel of the “Old Cape Cod” life is alive and well even today.”

The Cape & The Island’s “Old Cape Cod”

I

n 1900, prior to the construction of the Cape Cod Canal, the actual land borders of the Cape region were well into Plymouth County. Plymouth makes up the eastern shore of Cape Cod Bay and both Barnstable and Sandwich were the first two annexed towns in Plymouth Colony. Early in the 1900s the Cape Cod region encompassed Wareham, Onset and a large portion of southern Plymouth. The Cape Cod Canal was constructed because the shipping route around the Cape, through Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard Sound became one of the most treacherous marine routes in North American. It was not until the canal was finished in 1916 that people began to acknowledge the border of the canal and bridges as the beginning of Cape Cod. In the 1950s Cape Cod’s total population was around 40,000, mostly living in the Upper Cape and Mid Cape regions. There were only about 6000 residents on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket at the time. By 1960, over 2500 summer homes were built in Cape Cod & The Islands. At that time, only 65% of the homes were for year-round living; ironically, in 2020 those numbers remain relatively the same. The population of Cape Cod and the Islands grows to over 750,000 people for the busy summer months, many of whom will purchase seasonal and year-round homes.

Today, Cape Cod & The Islands are home to just over 250,000 year-round residents. Tourism has taken over as the main industry with more than 3500 hospitality and hotel facilities. Living on Cape Cod is simply matchless by all measures, and residents will tell you that in most cases the feel of the “Old Cape Cod” life is alive and well even today.

The Cape is 65 miles in length and ranges from 1 mile wide to 20 miles wide, no matter where you are, you’re not far from a beach or beautiful coastal area.

All of the 15 towns on the Cape are in Barnstable County. Dukes County covers Martha’s Vineyard and The Elizabeth Islands.

Nantucket is the only town in Nantucket County.

The Cape & Islands has become one of the most soughtafter regions for real estate in the country over the last 10 years. Prices in all regions are up significantly and buyers far outweigh sellers in all markets. This trend shows no sign of slowing anytime soon, great places to live tend to be in short supply always.• All the Best,

“The home designs grew out of the site. A gradual slope down to a private beach on Buzzards Bay pretty much sets the tone for a home that embraces all that nature has to offer. The sights and sounds of the ocean, waves, and wildlife simply spoke for themselves. You can start each day with breath-taking Southeast views of the ocean.

The dining area and breakfast nook allow you to just sit and soak in the sunrises. The living room, dining room, kitchen, main entry, master bedroom, balcony, and guest bedrooms all celebrate the site with spectacular one and two-story ocean views. The entire bay side of the homes have patios and decks; both covered and open to fully enjoy the coastline all year long. The sights and sounds of the waves on the beach put you in paradise without leaving the comfort of your home. It’s like being on a permanent vacation.”

Dario D. D. DiMare - Designer/Architect & President of Dario Designs Inc.

About HUS Companies

W

ith over 80 years of combined experience

among staff members, HUS Companies have made their mark in the development, con-

struction, and property management sectors within the

past year. HUS Companies uses strategic, design-centric, and market-based development to grow, manage,

and expand quality real estate throughout New England.

The word HUS, pronounced hoos, was derived from the

Swedish version of the word, home, which the company strives to cover for all potential clients. HUS is able to do this through raising capital, land acquisition, and

entitlements, along with construction and management of existing properties.

Development has been a key initiative for future growth of HUS as they currently have nine unique projects in progress. And Maritime Haven is just one of HUS

Companies’ impressive new developments on the forefront. The team possesses a diverse portfolio

consisting of subdivisions, condominiums, single family homes and multifamily apartment buildings. This is

driven by a strong focus in adding maximum value to real estate assets.

The leadership at HUS strives to add value through entitlements, rezoning, engineering, planning and construction

and renovation. The team is proficient in projects involving coastal and floodplain features, historical involvement,

environmental requirements, and other unique building

criteria. When assessing a new development, the team always strives to respect the surrounding environment,

architecture, demographics, and historical significance of

the area. HUS’s Maritime Haven luxury waterfront neighborhood, for example, requires knowledge of floodplain

construction, approvals from various town boards, neigh-

borhood associations and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management.

The Islands of Martha’s Vineyard & Nantucket Real estate sales on Martha’s Vineyard soared past the $1 billion threshold for the first time in 2020, shattering previous records as an unprecedented bull market for homes, buoyed by the pandemic, drove the market. According to year-end data compiled from the Dukes County Registry of Deeds, the Island finished 2020 with a total sales volume of $1.09 billion. The median home sale price on Martha’s Vineyard jumped from $875,000 in 2019, the previous Island record, to $1,035,000 in 2021. The Vineyard’s sister island of Nantucket has seen an even more dramatic increase in its real estate market. Traditionally about twice as expensive as the Vineyard, Nantucket surpassed the $2 billion threshold for the first time in 2020, with median home prices hovering around $2 million. The typical home value of homes in Nantucket is $1,716,533.
