“The 2014 summer season accounted for 40% of all transactions on the Cape last year, and we expect to see a similar pattern of concentrated sales from May through August of this year,” said Dan Breault, EVP/Regional Director of RE/MAX INTEGRA, New England. “While year-over-year numbers show a decline in sales through May, all indications show the market will continue to thrive as the summer progresses.”
