Open Houses swamped today
87 degrees? August? Expectations were for low attendance today at Open Houses – but instead they were swamped, according to agents I have spoken to who held Open Houses in Marblehead, Swampscott and Peabody.
Which makes me wonder why? Mortgage rates remain below 3.5%, but there has been little change over the last 2-3 weeks. What we did see on Friday, however, was a second consecutive strong jobs report ( the US economy added 255,000 jobs in July, after an upwardly-revised 292,000 in June), making it seem more likely that the May surprise – up only 24,000 jobs – was an aberration, in part because of the Verizon strike.
If companies are hiring that suggests confidence in the economy. Following Friday’s announcement many commentators suggested that the Federal Reserve may be more inclined to raise interest rates in the coming months.While the Federal Reserve does not directly influence mortgage rates (read What the Federal Reserve’s rate increase means for mortgage rates), the talk of higher interest rates often spurs home-buying activity.
There is one other factor. I have been concerned that the November elections might, at some point, start to cause both businesses and consumers to be more cautious, especially with polls showing the possibility of a major shock to the ecosystem. It is only one week, but polls widely suggest that shock is much less likely now, perhaps making it easier for businesses and consumers to make significant capital investment decisions.
Whatever the cause, there is no doubt that we saw a large number of actively-seeking home buyers today.

Open Houses Sunday July 31
It is Sunday and this morning’s forecast of rain means that the 8 a.m. Old North Church service at the Lighthouse in Marblehead is likely to be moved back to the church and I find myself thinking of references to the much-needed rain (which should not interfere with today’s Open Houses). Here are two:
The quality of mercy is not strained;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath.*
For He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good,
and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust.**
Can you place the quotes? (more…)
Open Houses today: two of Marblehead’s Unknown Oceanfront Properties
There are Open Houses today for two of Marblehead’s Unknown Oceanfront Properties, the term I have coined to describe the area from Preston Beach to Beach Street. It is “unknown” because a lot of the houses are at the end of dead end streets, down which many people have never passed.
Today’s Open Houses are a perfect beach house, with jaw-dropping views, directly on Goldthwait Beach at 46 Gallison Avenue from 12:00-1:30 and a beautifully restored 1850 house with carriage house at 11 Crown Way from 12:30-2:00. Both websites contain videos of the properties.
