Manchester NH Real Estate Market REPORT August 1, 2022. The market continues to change in the last week. With a slow down in sales Interest rates actually fell slightly. The amount of new listings decreased last week while the amount of sales stayed near the same as last week. The fed meets the end of the week, so acting now is a better option than when they raise rates again. You as a consumer have a choice. Not all agents are created the same. Experience matters more than ever as the market changes. Knowing what to expect to next. Knowing how to approach these changes. Knowing how to better guide you as a buyer or seller through these changes matters and comes with experience.
IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BUYING WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?: The first thing is that buying at a lower interest rate will mean a lower payment and more buying power. As rates increase, your buying power decreases, monthly payments rise and the sales price you can purchase falls sharply. The down side is rents and home prices are still increasing. It costs more to rent than purchase though.
Perhaps the best news to buyers is there are more homes to see. The largest trend is sellers now willing to accept inspection contingencies. Accept offers paying or crediting the buyer for closing costs. Most recently sellers accepting offers where the buyer had a home sale contingency.
With prices increasing slightly the cost to buy a home is increasing. Purchasing now and refinancing to a lower rate in a couple of years may be an option.
SELL NOW OR WAIT?: The number one question is "Did you wait too long to sell? The answer is not a simple yes or no. Prices are still high however the days of getting 20 offers the first day over asking price are over. As interest rates rise, traditionally prices level off. SO yes, that makes NOW the time to list over waiting.
MANY SELLERS ARE ALSO SHOCKED to find out who they list with matters. Homes are staying on the market longer. Offers are more complicated with inspection contingencies. Home sale contingencies and buyers asking for sellers to pay up to 3% of their credit cards. Knowing what to expect and how to negotiate is a must and that comes from hiring an experienced agent like me who can navigate the market changes with you. Recently a seller was shocked when their agent did not know what seller concessions meant hindering their home sale. Sell your home "right" and do it from the start by listing with a well experienced agent..

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.
