nh real estate: A Home For Your Hog
- 06/18/10 04:14 AM
It is the 87th Anniversary of the Laconia Motorcycle Rally and thousands of bikers have descended on the Lakes Region to enjoy the scenery and hospitality of the area. Today’s motorcycle enthusiasts are a far cry from the early days. Today there are doctors, lawyers (a few Indian Chiefs), business professionals, corporate executives, and more than a few real estate agents out there enjoying the “wind in your face” lifestyle. It is a different breed of biker today. Many are older and much more affluent. They have to be, as these gleaming iron horses cost more than a lot of … (0 comments)

nh real estate: Good deals, good burgers, and horseshoes in NH....
- 05/27/10 01:20 PM
Memorial Day is upon us. Everyone thinks of it as the start of the summer season and a great reason to get together with family and friends and have a huge barbeque. It is also common to include lots of beer in the festivities which allows the attendees to loosen up for New Hampshire’s unofficial sport of kings: horseshoes. Memorial Day is certainly a great day to relax, unwind, and appreciate what we all have and often take for granted. But it does have a solemn side, so everyone should take time to thank those soldiers who fought for our country … (1 comments)

- 05/06/10 01:46 PM
All right, I admit it, I am a little obsessed with real estate. Like the other full time agents that are making a go of it in this difficult market you almost have to be. You have to take this job very seriously or you won’t survive. It also helps to be a little crazy. You have to work long days, be available whenever and wherever at the drop of a hat for your clients or customers, and deal with new and bizarre issues or problems on every transaction. We also have to deal with the diverse personalities and opinions of … (0 comments)

nh real estate: The Housing Market After Life Support...
- 05/06/10 01:38 PM
There were 1169 residential homes available as of May 1 in the communities in this Lakes Region of NH real estate report. That is up from the 1083 homes that were on the market in May 2009. The current inventory level represents an 18.4 months supply of homes on the market.
Home sales will have to increase significantly in order to bring this high inventory level down to a more reasonable level. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), the housing market has been taken off life support. The first time home buyer credit of $8,000 has expired (they pulled the plug so to … (1 comments)

nh real estate: Global Warming Debunked - Lakes Region 1st Quarter Waterfront Report
- 04/17/10 08:04 AM
"Ice-Out" on Lake Winnipesaukee was officially declared on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 2:00 pm and was the earliest ice out ever recorded. While the global warming advocates will undoubtedly point to rising temperatures caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases, I know better. The following statistics will prove beyond a shadow of doubt that the early ice out was caused by an unseasonably hot month of waterfront sales! Well, at least compared to last March when there was only one sale on the Big Lake.
We had eight sales on Winnipesaukee with an average sales price of $1,020,675 last … (1 comments)

- 04/08/10 09:24 AM
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 real estate: Lake Winnipesaukee and Winnisquam Waterfront Market Report Feb 2010
- 03/26/10 11:43 AM
Sales of waterfront homes in the Lakes Region of NH are typically a little slower in the month of February which is no different than any other segment of our real estate market. But we did have three pretty good sales on Lake Winnipesaukee, but none on Winnisquam, Newfound, Waukewan, Squam, or Kanasatka!
Click here for more details on these three sales: Waterfront sales Feb 2010
The largest sale was for $1.74 million in Gilford at 122 Varney Point. This was a very nice 3,500 square foot Adironack style home built in 2008. It has five bedrooms, 4 baths, cathedral … (0 comments)

nh real estate: A Welcome January Real Estate Thaw
- 02/18/10 04:58 AM
We are through an almost snowless January and half of February with but 4-6” or so and I’m thinking this is pretty great as I haven’t had to plow my driveway much and I haven’t sanded it once! However, the lack of snow in the Lakes Region of NH definitely has a negative impact on the local businesses and is certainly not good for the local economy.
Although January residential home sales weren’t really stellar we had an avalanche of activity compared to last year. You may recall, last February I reported that January of ’09 had to be just about … (0 comments)

nh real estate: Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam Waterfront Market Report For January 2009
- 02/18/10 04:48 AM
It is to be expected that showings and sales on waterfront properties in the Lakes Region of NH would be slower in the winter months than in the summer. We always see tire kickers, dreamers, and wanna-be’s in the summer months but we also get most of the buyers in the warmer months. But, the buyers that are out scouting and viewing homes during the winter are probably a little more serious. They are the ones that would like to buy now and be into their waterfront retreat by ice out so they can be there to … (0 comments)

- 02/11/10 07:45 AM
It is time to take another look around the MLS system to see what kind of potential deals can be found in the Lakes Region of NH. There is certainly enough inventory out there to choose from. Some of the older homes on the market are offered at prices that would seem to make them pretty good values particularly if you can fix them up yourself. There are always some repairs, system upgrades, or cosmetic issues to deal with in older homes but many of these homes are well built and have charm and character that is difficult to replicate in … (1 comments)
