Many consumers believe that all Real Estate Agents are the same. Not true! Those agents who have elected to become a REALTOR have taken a sworn oath to abide by a strict Code of Ethics which sets them apart from other “Agents”.

We are held to a higher set of standards as we practice the selling of Real Estate & are proud to call ourselves, The Marie Souza Realty Team, REALTORS.

The question we all hear as REALTORS at this time is “How is the Market”?
Well, I’ve seen better and I’ve seen far worse in the 15+ years I have been in the business.
Our Team is staying busy, putting deals together,in what many say is a “bad market”. But what makes this a “bad market” here on Cape Cod?

Properties that were purchased in the early 2000’s have gained quite a bit of equity. Although I would not say we are “booming” here (our prices have adjusted down 5-10% since the beginning of 2007), I would not say we are in a “bad market”, just a transitional one.
The mortage interest rates are still very good and homes that are priced correctly are selling.
