lakes region of nh real estate: 3 Keys to $elling Your Home: Marketing, Price, and the Buyer Pool - 01/30/12 11:31 AM
The successful sale of any home in today’s somewhat trying real estate market can be broken down into distinct components that are inexorably linked together; (1) marketing the property, (2) the available pool of willing buyers, and (3) price.
Unfortunately, these three components often get blurred and home sellers get confused and discouraged when their home doesn’t sell. They always ask why are so few buyers looking, why has it been on the market so long, and why is no one at least making an offer? Any offer! It is logical that if you have a property for sale and you … (3 comments)

lakes region of nh real estate: There's an app for that... - 07/22/11 11:35 AM

There were 77 residential home sales last month in the communities listed in this Lakes Region real estate market report. That’s down a bit from the 88 sales last June. But the average sales price came in considerably higher at $476,304 compared to $292,586 in June 2010. The higher average seems to have originated from a strong month in Moultonborough where seven sales closed in excess of $1 million. Not a bad month there with 19 sales at an average of $1,072,761! Laconiaalso had a pretty good sales tally with 16 homes exchanging hands. It appears that about a third … (1 comments)

lakes region of nh real estate: An Amazing Winnipesaukee Lake House on Advent Cove, Meredith, NH - 05/12/11 03:27 PM

47 Advent Cove, Meredith, NH MLS #4061667 First Time Ever Offered Priced at $3,995,000 It's very rare that a Lake Winnipesaukee waterfront property offers the privacy, views and overall serenity that this very special property radiates. The "old lake" feel is all around you.
So how did this all come about? In 1988, John and Virginia Stabile purchased 47 Advent Cove Rd as a house lot of 6 plus acres with 300 feet of frontage on Lake Winnipesaukee. This parcel of land is a rectangle of approximately 300’x1250’. The lot was bought from Fred Fuller, a statewide fuel dealer. … (0 comments)

lakes region of nh real estate: Squam Lake 2010 Waterfront Sales Report - 01/14/11 10:41 AM
There were five waterfront homes sold on Squam Lake in 2010 at an average sales price of $2,029,000. They were on the market an average of 323 days before finding a buyer  which is really not all that long in this market. While having just five transactions on the lake for the whole year is not something to get real excited about, it is far better than just the two transactions that we had last year.  Looking back to the peak year of 2006 there were fifteen sales with an average price of $1,287,933. Hopefully, 2011 will be a better (you … (0 comments)

lakes region of nh real estate: Pooh's Lake Home on Golden Pond - 12/30/10 12:18 PM

Every now and then, just by chance, you discover something new, special, and unexpected about the Lakes Region. This month, I discovered the Chamberlain-Reynolds Memorial Forest. It is really a special place and I bet most area residents have never ventured there.
I have a home for sale on Dog Cove on Squam Lake and thought I would try to get a picture of the home from the other side of the cove. Another agent was telling me about the trails near Dog Cove that he hikes and how nice they are. So the other day I decided to take … (2 comments)

OK, so the holiday shopping season starts off with Black Friday and now we have Cyber-Monday to boot! Crazy people are up at 4 a.m. running around the stores in the Lakes Region trying to find that special item to buy before they are all gone.

While there is not a lot of new home construction going on in the Lakes Region of NH, it is nice to see that there are some homes being built despite the depressed housing market that we are currently struggling through.

It is the 87th Anniversary of the Laconia Motorcycle Rally and thousands of bikers have descended on the Lakes Region to enjoy the scenery and hospitality of the area. Today’s motorcycle enthusiasts are a far cry from the early days. Today there are doctors, lawyers (a few Indian Chiefs), business professionals, corporate executives, and more than a few real estate agents out there enjoying the “wind in your face” lifestyle. It is a different breed of biker today. Many are older and much more affluent. They have to be, as these gleaming iron horses cost more than a lot of … (0 comments)
