nh realtor: What Kind of Home Do You Drive? - 10/07/11 11:08 AM
The residential home inventory in the communities in this Lakes Region market report dropped from 1,399 properties for sale last month down to 1,336 as of October 1. That total is still 7% higher than last October 1 and keeps us at a 22 month supply of homes. The average asking price stands at $518,193 with a median price point at $264,950 compared to an average $569,141 and a median price of $289,900 last October 1.

nh realtor: Good Deals = Quick Sales - 09/22/11 10:27 AM
Residential homes sales in the Lakes Region communities covered by this market report jumped a healthy 23% in August compared to the same month last year. There were 83 sales last month at an average of $330,718 compared to 67 last August at an average of $411,780. A 23% increase in sales is welcome news but one month doesn’t make a trend. On a rolling twelve month basis we are still off last year’s pace…just a bit. For the twelve month period ending 8/31/10 there were 772 sales at an average of $312,389. For the twelve month period ending 8/31/11 there … (1 comments)

nh realtor: Facebook, or Maybe Housebook... - 03/17/11 04:11 PM
Sales of residential homes in the Lakes Region of NH were surprisingly strong in February with fifty transactions compared to just thirty four last February. Given the fact that we were up to our eyeballs in snow in January, that is pretty remarkable to me. The average sales price came in at just $216,920 compared to $279,480 last February. That drop is due to the fact that we had no sales over $1 million last month but had two last February. As usual, just about half the sales recorded were under $200,000. For the first two months of the year total … (0 comments)

It’s no secret that mortgage giant Fannie Mae has got problems. Right now, who doesn’t? Not only does she have a name you can make fun of, she has foreclosed on so many properties that she, like … (0 comments)

nh realtor: How Much Snow Is Too Much?? - 02/06/11 04:21 PM
This was a really great week, if you like snow. Driving into Laconia on the day of the most recent of one too many snowstorms was like sledding into an Eskimo Village above the arctic circle. The main differences were that I didn’t see any polar bears lurking nearby, our igloos have flat or peaked roofs rather than round, and plow trucks were the only thing moving instead of sled dog teams. Did you know that Eskimos can heat their igloos with a whale oil lamp and their own body heat and be quite comfortable? Keep that thought for … (1 comments)

nh realtor: Baseball and Real Estate - 04/08/10 04:24 PM
April showers bring May flowers and more real estate listings, but the unseasonably warm and sunny days have also brought out the buyers. Let’s hope they actually buy something! The number of single family homes in the towns in this Lakes Region report jumped from 993 last month to 1070 as of April 1. That number is also up compared to the 1000 homes listed as of April 1, 2009. Based on the number of homes sold in the last 12 months, this total is equivalent to 17 months worth of inventory. We are fortunate to have a good mix … (1 comments)

nh realtor: No directional signs allowed!!??! - 12/03/09 07:09 PM
Sign of the times... There was an article in our local newspaper about a proposed sign ordinance in the Town of Gilford of NH that could possibly eliminate the placement of real estate directional signs on street corners Being a REALTOR©, it made me think a bit.
Just about every REALTOR© in the world uses directional signs when needed or when the sellers want them. But I wondered whether these signs really help to sell a home in this market or if the colorful, clashing, and tacky menagerie of signs on many of the street corners makes the market look worse … (71 comments)

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)
