roy sanborn: New Homes for the New Year in the Lakes Region of NH
- 01/13/15 02:25 AM
New Houses for the New Year As the New Year begins we saw almost two hundred listings expire without selling in the twelve communities in the Lakes Region covered by the real estate market report. The inventory dropped from 952 listings available as of Dec 1, 2014 to just 761 as of January 1, 2015 with a median price point of $249,900. But this is not unusual and it happens every year. Seems like that 12/31 is a popular expiration date. The current inventory level represents a little over a nine month supply of homes to sell, but I don’t expect … (0 comments)

roy sanborn: Is Your Realtor® as Dumb As A Doorknob?
- 04/13/14 01:30 AM
Is Your Realtor® as Dumb As A Doorknob? If someone refers to their REALTOR® as being as dumb as a doorknob, there are several possible meanings. Today, well, he could be just not all that smart. But, in olden days, it could have meant that your REALTOR® was just a quiet sort of guy.
The saying “dumb as a doorknob” appears to be derived from the saying as “dead as a doornail” which was used by literary English greats such as Shakespeare and Charles Dickens (in his well known “Christmas Carol.”) Doornails were driven in to mid-evil wooden doors and bent … (0 comments)

A Christmas House As Walter Mathau often said in Grumpy Old Men, “Holy Moley” Christmas is almost here.

Last November there were 86 sales at an average of $332,653. Next month we’ll get to see the year end numbers which should be pretty interesting!
