		<title>What the numbers say&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As of today, there are: -432 active listings compared to 435 one year ago. -52 listings with accepted offers or purchase and sales agreements compared to 43 one year ago. Lower inventory, albeit not much, and more deals must be signs of an improving market. There is also noticeably more activity on Island this winter [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thawing-Where the Market Stands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2011 was a roller coaster year. The market started off strong, barreled into the summer seeming like it was not looking back and then the Europe debt crisis hit in early August and it not only looked back, it went back. However, the resilience of the Nantucket market persevered and the market continued forward after [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last In, First Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used to quiz my dad on the Nantucket real estate market. Is Nantucket a good investment? Why are people buying? Where&#8217;s the market now? Does it really go in cycles? Etc. Two fundamental points he always made were, 1) in the long run, yes this market always goes up and 2) the market does [...]]]></description>

		<title>Could&#8217;ve been better, Could&#8217;ve been worse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although the year is not over, we have a pretty clear picture of how the overall market is going to end up. All things considered, not bad. According to LINK, For the period 1/1/11-11/30/11 -total volume was just under $481mm from 355 transactions -average sale price was just over $1.57mm -median sale price was just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Got Land?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not for long because the conservation groups are buying it all up, but that is great for all of us who love Nantucket (and like our property values to go up)! Nantucket has some of the strongest conservation foundations/efforts in the world. A group of great Nantucketers had the foresight to found the Nantucket Conservation [...]]]></description>

		<title>How&#8217;s the interior?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I grew up in a real estate family. I have been hearing real estate deals being negotiated since I was 3 months young. Sometimes I would hear my mom say, &#8220;How&#8217;d the third showing with so and so go?&#8221; My dad would say, &#8220;Libby, it&#8217;s never a good sign if they want to see the [...]]]></description>

		<title>To zone or to not to zone&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The use of real estate zoning has been a heated debate from its existence. On one hand, proponents of it say you need it to protect integrity of real estate districts-do you want a nuclear power plant next to an elementary school, a brothel next to a church? On the other hand, opponents say, among [...]]]></description>

		<title>I buy, you sell.  You buy, I sell.  Nantucket partnerships&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nantucket has always been an amazing place to invest, but now, with interest rates low and the market down 25%+, I venture to use the superlative, Nantucket is the best place to invest. Many people use to buy Nantucket real estate as a lifestyle investment first, monetary investment second. This is still true, but given [...]]]></description>

		<title>Did you know???</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nantucketers barely take notice when they see a house being moved along one of the island&#8217;s streets. Vacationers on the other hand seem amazed by a whole house being trucked along one of Nantucket&#8217;s streets. Houses being moved on Nantucket are no new phenomenon. Houses have been moved on island for centuries and basically for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finicky Buyers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before I begin, please know that I welcome and love all buyers. Also, below not meant to be gender specific, just easier to read. I find it so interesting that during a multi-million dollar negotiation, a lifestyle Buyer (opposed to an investment Buyer) and a Seller will draw a line in the sand when they [...]]]></description>
