All Hallows' Eve in the Lakes Region Home Market
Click on the pictures for some true terror...
This time of year you tend to see a lot of ghosts, goblins, ghouls, and witches on the streets of the Lakes Region of NH. There are also a lot of haunted houses and scary mansions with dark and dusty dungeons full of cobwebs, musty smells, and sinister shadows. It kind of reminds me of Halloween, but I am talking about real estate and the buyers, sellers, and agents involved in this frightening business.
We find buyers coming to the Halloween home … (0 comments)

nh real estate: Lake Winnipesaukee and Winnisquam 3rd Quarter Waterfront Sales Report - 10/22/09 04:57 PM
Winnipesaukee and Winnisquam 3rd Quarter Waterfront Sales Report --Lakes Region of NH
It is great to report that the waterfront sales on Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam seem to have held their own over the summer season despite a downturned economy and general reluctance on the part of everyone to buy just about anything. Astute buyers still recognize that waterfront properties are a great place to invest their money. Unlike the stock market and other investment opportunities, buying a waterfront is a tangible, secure investment right now and is something that can really be enjoyed.
In the 3rd quarter of 2009 … (0 comments)

nh real estate: Homes Sales Heating Up. Interest Rates at 8.5%. - 10/16/09 09:19 AM
Home Sales Are Heating Up. Interest Rates Now at 8.5%.
We've had six consecutive months of record breaking home sales in the Lakes Region of NH despite interest rates hovering just above 8.5%. Home prices have risen sharply over the past year and we have just surpassed the levels set during the peak in 2005-2006. The scarcity of nice mid-priced homes has resulted in multiple offers and many quick sales at or above full price. First time buyers are having great difficulty finding homes under $200,000 and even when they do the current higher rates often make home ownership just … (0 comments)

nh real estate: It's in the kitchen... - 10/08/09 02:35 PM
It's in the kitchen... The kitchen is undoubtedly the most important room in today's home. It is not just a place to prepare meals, it is also the gathering place, the entertaining space, it is where many family decisions are made, where the kids do their home work, and the place where you manage your daily affairs. The kitchen is generally the most important factor when it comes to someone purchasing a home. A great kitchen will sell your home faster than any other feature. A poorly designed, cramped, and outdated kitchen will keep your home on the market seemingly forever.

nh real estate: The Garage Mahal - 10/01/09 04:15 PM
The Garage Mahal To me, and a lot of other guys, the garage is probably one of the most important parts of a house especially when you consider the winters we have in the Lakes Region of NH. Going out in the morning to dig your car out from under a foot or two of snow is no fun. It always amazes me when I see a garage that is so packed full of stuff that you couldn't fit a bicycle, let alone a car, in it.
A spacious, well lit, heated garage with plenty of room to store things (and … (0 comments)

Some humor and some wisdom...
Here are a few pretty amusing quotes about housing from some famous people:
"The fellow that owns his own house is always just coming out of the hardware store." Kin Hubbard
"There ought to be a room in every house to swear in." Mark Twain
"Ah, the patter of little feet around the house. There's nothing like having a midget for a butler." W.C. Fields
"The partitions of the house were so thin we could hear the women occupants of the adjoining rooms changing their minds." Mark Twain

nh real estate: The Modern Man Cave - 09/10/09 11:50 AM
The modern man cave.
Just a little while ago (like 25,000-30,000 years or so) on the northern slopes of the Pyrenees Mountains in France prehistoric man ventured into a hole in the ground and unknowingly started a trend that would evolve into an important part of the modern home in America: cave decorating. Why did early man decorate the caves?
Well, according to an article I read, early man didn't really live in the caves. There is no evidence of ongoing inhabitation and early man was always on the move looking for food. But in these caves many colorful drawings … (6 comments)

nh real estate: Is your market suffering from Listatosis?? - 08/26/09 09:20 AM
As the debate on the health care industry reform rages across the country, it made me think about the health of the housing industry. Everyone seems to agree that both industries are ailing and need a night or two in intensive care followed by a long convalescence. Several viruses have infected the housing industry affecting both buyers and sellers. Some of these conditions cannot be totally cured, but hopefully, with proper counseling and therapy the symptoms can be controlled so that the patient can lead a more normal life.
In the Lakes Region of NH our housing market, like that in … (1 comments)

nh real estate: What kind of house is that?? - 08/23/09 04:42 PM
Many home buyers, particularly those looking for the first time, aren't always sure what to call the different styles of homes that they see. They usually know what a ranch or colonial is, but they may get lost a little with the variations and other styles of homes. Buyers sometimes ask which is the most popular style. I tell them that would be the one that actually sells!
So what style sells the most? Answering that is a little easier said than done as our MLS system has 48 choices to describe the home style and agents often check off several … (52 comments)

The Lake Winnipesaukee Waterfront Cottage.
Every real estate agent invariably gets a call this time of year from someone looking for their little piece of the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. It goes something like:
Caller: "Hello, I'm looking for a waterfront cottage on Lake Winnipesaukee, do you have anything available?"
Agent: "Sure, there are lots of properties on the lake right now. It's a great time to buy! What are you looking for?"
Caller: "Well, we'd like to be on right on the lake with a beach, a dock, at least a couple of bedrooms, preferably three, and … (4 comments)

nh real estate: Dollars for Dumps? - 08/07/09 04:07 PM
Across the nation there are signs of recovery in the housing market with sales of existing homes rising 3.6% in June and new home sales taking a big jump with an 11% increase. Much of the increase is said to be attributed to the $8,000 tax credit for first time buyers. This highly successful program which ends Dec. 1 will hopefully be extended, increased, and expanded to include all buyers to further jumpstart the ailing housing markets. I believe the success of this program is due to the simplicity of the program that utilizes the good old basic tax credit … (2 comments)

Lakes Region of NH Real Estate Market Report
The Lakes Region of NH residential home inventory has ballooned to 1170 listings on the market as of June 1. Last June there were 1128 homes on the market.
