"Celebrate agriculture, aquaculture, fishing and farming on Cape Cod"

This is the tag line for the fair and it's an apt one. Folks on the Outer Cape are becoming more and more interested in farming and eating local.  Walk up to the Blackfish restaurant and see how the menu is geared toward eating foods grown right here in town. Visit Mac's Seafood and see how they are pushing the local catch. And drive around the Outer Cape and see all the road side farm stands.  Below are a few - we're sure there are more, so please send them our way to add to this blog. 

For more info on the fair visit www.TruroAgFair.com and to see a sampling of the fun at last year's fair see the slide show we did here. Like our aggies say, "Till, Baby Till"

As the Wall Street Journal writes about second homes, "If you have the money and you plan on staying put for the long term, now may be a good time to buy." Although the article doesn't mention homes for sale in Truro, Wellfleet or Provincetown specifically, it stresses that "blue chip" locales have stabilized and there are some very good deals to be had. 3Harbors has already seen a steady ramp up in the Provincetown real estate market and activity in the Truro real estate market has been picking up while Wellfleet real estate has continued to be quite steady.

When you have worked in Truro real estate as long as we have you know when you see one of the best deals. The house sits on almost four acres and boasting nine bedrooms, seven and a half baths, an indoor swimming pool, a fresh water pond, and a barn. This Truro property would certainly cost far more than what we're asking if it were to be replaced. It has been lovingly cared for and in tip top shape. A great Truro rental, a horse farm (its present use), a Cape Cod corporate retreat, or simply a grand Truro home. $1,999,000. Additional land is available. Owner financing is available.

Unlike its neighbors to the North and South, Truro's real estate market activity stumbled a bit this yer.  Overall, there were 11 Truro houses and five Truro condos that sold to date this year.  This compares to 18 Truro houses and five Truro condos selling during the same period last year.  However, there are already five Truro houses and five Truro condos under contract as of this date.  Truro vacation rentals - at least here at 3Harbors - are through the roof (we just had to hire another agent to handle the load).  Also, sales activity is very strong now that the weather has turned. There are some great Truro real estate listings out there, rates are low and prices are much more affordable.

Sometimes we get excited about a new listing in the real estate business and this is one of those times. This architect designed Truro home has impressive views and a dramatic living room. See more information about this house in the hills of Truro by visiting the 3Harbors listings page. The listing number is 21104903.
