nh homes: "I can't Take It Anymore!" - 06/16/11 11:13 PM
"I can't take it any more!"  I heard on the phone.  "My landlord raised my rent again!"  Of course I asked for the apointment and was able to sit down with this frustrated renter, help with a needs assessment, and came up with this flow chart to illustrate the home buying process.

How To Buy Foreclosures in New Hampshire: There is no doubt our real estate market is enjoying a lot of buyer activity it hasn't seen in many years.  I think it is finally sinking into buyers' heads!  There has not been a better time for folks to purchase real estate in my mere fifty years on this earth with inerest rates as low as 4.5% (5/9/2011), zero down payment programs, and an abundant inventory.  Foreclosures can become an opportunity of a lifetime if a buyer is willing to put in some work.

nh homes: Economic Recovery Good News And Bad News - 04/28/11 01:32 AM
The Economy of New Hampshire Real Estate is on track for real equity gains because prices are so low but the recovery of the "The Great Recession" is slow.
This is good news for home buyers and especially first time home buyers of New Hampshire Real Estate. The painfully slow recovery has resulted in a leveling of home prices.  Looking at home sales data for the first quater of the last four years, we are seeing average sales prices in Strafford County at $230,037 in Q1 2008, $176,526 in Q1 2009, $194,711 for Q1 2010, and $188,199 for Q1 2011.

nh homes: Let's Go To A Foreclosure Auction - 04/26/11 10:48 PM
Hard Tellin' not Knowin'
It's a term we use here in New Hampshire quite often.  Don't mean to say that it is indigenous to New Hampshire but it does pertain to Foreclosure Auction Sales.  Folks seem to think the best deals are had at Foreclosure Auction Sales.
The reality is quite different.  Buyers have no means of having a qualified inspection performed, may have to deal with any latent liens and can not insure a clear title.  Buyers had better do their homework at City Hall and the Registry.  Without a qualified inspection, owner occupants have no chance at financing and must be paying cash.  … (5 comments)

New Hampshire Real Estate:  Part of the job as a Realtor is educating ourselves to the market so we can best serve our buyer and seller clients.  The only way to truly understand our markets is to do the research.  There is no doubt foreclosures are driving our markets today.  Ten of my last twelve transactions have been foreclosed homes.
