Sandown 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, 84 homes were sold and spent an average of 124 days on market.  2007 saw 20 less homes sold at 64 with days on market up to 148.  2008 saw 65 homes sold and average days bumped up to a whopping 181 days.  While the Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit was established to prop up a sagging national market in 2009, 71 homes were sold and those homes were taking longer to sell at 187 days.  In the last twelve months, 99 homes were sold at an average of 115 days on market.  More homes have sold in less time since the Tax Credit has expired.
