MARKET UPDATE and Report for MANCHESTER NH for the 4th Week of January 2012

As the end of January approaches, winter has made only spotty appearances with our days warmer than average. It has made for some great viewing weather for homes. Last week we saw our first increase in new homes coming on the market which was offset be the increae in Sales. The new homes represent a lot of bank Owned homes that were Foreclosed after a long moratorium by Banks. Most Foreclsoures are on vacasnt homes and people who have not poaid for 1-2 years on average.

Our market continues to strengthen as Closed Sales remain steady. Showings of homes to new buyers has increased, pending sales coninue to rise. Relocation inquiries were up with both corporate and military relocations on the rise. In the winter weather plays havic with our stats. The one thing that shines is the people who are looking to see a home, are buying. new Listings that are clean and priced at or just under market value are going under contract within 1-2 weeks. As noticed this week with a new Bank Owned Listing came on the market with over 20 showings, 11 offers and a lot of dissappointed people who tried to low ball learning an important lesson there is not time to waste if you fall in love with a home. As the amount of Listings decline and the amount of buyers is rising with the banks increasing their mortgage approvals, there will be more dissappointed buyers if they do not adjust to the storng market conditions. Alot of people ask what do market updates mean? Basically this is a snap shot form week to week. I wanted to take the stats and break them down for you. So sit down and enjoy them a please email me any questions on my report or buying or selling a home in New Hampshire.

IN CONCLUSION 2011 was definately the turning point in the Real Estate Recession here in NH. December was record breaking with amount of activity. Listing Inventory is down over 30%. Sales remain string and prices which have stabilized show small increases in some segments of the market

The amount of calls has remained strong for new property inquiries. With inventory actually down, now is a great time to sell before winter.

Hi Scott,

Good information!

Wish you had included some graphs or pictures or something.

Love the idea that 2011 might have been the end of the housing recession in your area
