More Homes Sold

We are looking at homes sold data in Barrington, NH for the last four years to determine the state of the market.  Most folks would say the market has performed dismally.  That is contrary to what has really occured.  We saw 98 homes sold in 2007 and even though we have been through some rough economic conditions, Barrington saw 107 homes sold in 2010.

To Buy Or To Sell

That is the question.  With interest rates as low as they are, a fairly high inventory, and home values headed in the right direction to build equtiy, NOW is a good time to buy.  That's good news for seller's too as they can now get more value for their property than only one year ago.
