Manchester NH Real Estate Market REPORT May 30, 2022

Memorial Day is here as we honor those who sacrificed the most. It is the unofficial start of summer. It is also the start of the summer real estate market. Today we look back at our Spring Real Estate Market to see what trends are taking shape. We see an increase in homes coming on the market. We see a steady amount of homes going under contract. We also see an increase in interest rates once again on the horizon.

The HARD FACTS are that instead of 20 plus offers on a new listing, we see perhaps 5. We see that location matters. We see that what school is in your neighborhood matters. We also see the condition of the home matters. We see the BEST offers coming in the first day. Often a buyer who lost out on a home in the past. They make their highest and best offer first. We see many sellers who "missed the boat" on selling. Gone are the days of putting any price on a home and actually getting a buyer to pay it. We see homes in the best areas and school districts getting the best offers. We see over priced homes staying on the market.

On the flip side, we actually see some homes under priced. The seller could have actually sold for more. Their choice of agent most often the cause. Out of town agents. Inexperienced agents... Sellers need to choose well experienced agents to get real time facts as our market changes.

We also hear byers who say they have been looking for months. The simple answer in a lot of cases is they need to write better offers. Sounds simple but again an example of why choosing a better agent is a must as the market sways back in forth.

We are also seeing a trend with banks being tougher on borrowers. the criteria to get a mortgage is stricter. Appraisals are coming in lower. Some warranted but some not warranted. Look for appraisal issues to continue. The one thing that will matter more than ever is the real estate agents ability to handle these lending and appraisal issues now and in the future. Experienced agents will be better situated to handle issues to protect their clients. Always ask how experienced some one actually is.

DOES IT MATTER WHICH REALTOR I USE?  The short answer is YES. It matters. There is great difference from one agent to agent another though. All agents are not created equally. Bigger is not better. Experience matters. Choose the Best agent not the biggest. Choose experience over not experienced. Choose Local over National. Please support locally owned businesses and chose us, your home town Realtor for 35 years who offers some of the most personal and professional service there can be. We stand by you through each step of the buying or selling process. Let me show you there is a difference from one agent to another.
