Rye NH Real Estate Market Trends

A study of home sales data for the last four years gives us an indication that luxury home sales have dominated the market in Rye. When looking at the number of units sold with the average number of days on the market, it looks like most of the activity were in 2007 and 2008 when we knew the economy was headed down the recession path.  71 units were sold in 2007 and 2008 but in 2008 homes were selling 12% faster.
