Mortgage rates continue to hover in the 4.625 range for a 30-year fixed. But there could be much volatility ahead. Numerous important economic reports are due out this week and Fed Chair Powell will be holding a press conference to address market speculation about the President's recent comments regarding the need for low rates.

Will That Be Cash or "Charge"?
|
When it comes to buying a home, some of us don’t have a choice about how we’re going to pay for it. We will, of course, be taking out a mortgage! But many buyers, especially CAPE buyers who are often retirees or investors, DO have a choice between cash and a mortgage. So what should you do?

Fish 'n Chips -- As Capey As Cod Itself!
OK, so you worked hard on that beach body all year. But what’s the point of being on Cape Cod if you can’t enjoy some of the local indulgences – like fresh, Cape Cod Fish ‘n Chips! Here are some of our favorite spots that use fresh catch from local fishermen.
-
Mac's Shack
(Outer Cape) - Serving the Outer Cape with restaurants and markets from Eastham to Provincetown, this seafood institution started in Wellfleet in 1995 and has been going and growing strong ever since. The flagship yet seasonal location at Wellfleet Harbor should be on your "must visit" list, while the Eastham location stays open year-round.
-
Sir Cricket's Fish 'n Chips
(Orleans) - With a name like that, how could you NOT serve great fish 'n chips! This local favorite gets fresh fish throughout the day right from the market next door. No wonder patrons rave about it. If you're not a fan of fried food, try the lobster roll. It does not disappoint! Great options for kids, too, and takeout available.
-
Sesuit Harbor Cafe
(Dennis) This would be a cool place to go even if the food WASN'T good. The fact that it's good is just a bonus. The epitome of a Cape Cod clam shack, this dining spot features, well, a shack(!) - where you order your food and eat it outside at one of many communal picnic tables overlooking Sesuit Harbor. Another cool feature? It's BYOB. So you can enjoy your favorite bottle of wine without paying double its cost at Luke's.
-
Fishermen's View
(Sandwich) - Boston Magazine may have given it Best Restaurant 2018 honors, but this relative newcomer is all Cape Cod. The founders are both brothers and fishermen themselves. The menu is mouthwatering and the fish are unloaded at the dock below the restaurant. Now THAT'S fresh.
