Quality Cape Cod homes, located literally anywhere on or near the water, are exceptionally valuable – especially because the supply is limited, Realtors say. There simply is not much open or available acreage. And regulating forces are limiting the supply further through zoning and conservation. As a result, even Cape Cod properties in need of attention – whether restoration, remodelling or, as can often be the case now, destruction to make room for a mega-mansion – are well worth the investment. You cannot escape the forces of nature, and you cannot resist the forces of economics. The underlying worth is still here. Cape Cod is the place to be.
