Property Values and Sales are Up while Overall Market Activity Remains Sluggish!
The July market reports an 42% decrease in new Wolfeboro Residential Listings, property owners are reluctant to place their home on the market while inventory remains at some of the highest levels in years. Back on the Market homes have seen a 100% increase over 2009’s MTD stats. Pending sales combined with Contingent contracts were up 13.3%, and Sold homes reported a 125% increase. The average DOM (Days on the Market) had a slight increase of three days over last July, reporting an average of 126 days. The flip side to this scenario is while 9 homes sold in July the residential inventory remains high with 194 active residential listings valued between the low of $35,000. and the high of $11,950,000. Interest rates remain low however, lender qualifications are stringent and many potential buyers just don’t qualify. Sellers remain motivated and many are offering great value for the investment. Wolfeboro’s property values are up over last year’s MTD values by 17%.
