Windham NH Real Estate Report August 2010

We are looking at homes sold data for the last four years verses the last twelve months to determine the state of the market.  In 2006 204 homes were sold and were on the market an average of 133 days.  2007 saw less homes sold at 197 and average days on market grew to 157.  While the recession was fully entrenched in 2008, only 167 homes sold and average days edged up to 161.  The Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit was established in 2009 to prop up a sagging national market and a few more homes were sold at 172 and average days remained steady at 159.

Windham NH Real Estate Average Sales Price

The average sales price in 2006 was $501,055 and gave up 7.7% of its value in 2007 to $462,235.  2008's average price dropped another 7.3% to $428,297 while another plunge of 8.1% to $393,377.  There is no doubt the now expired Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit had an effect on our market.  Unfortunately, the Tax Credit was an artificial component of the market and had its un-natural results.
