New Home Construction, Now!?!

Posted 08-29-2010 at 09:44 AM by Roy Sanborn



While there is not a lot of new home construction going on in the Lakes Region of NH, it is nice to see that there are some homes being built despite the depressed housing market that we are currently struggling through. It is even nicer to see that some of the developments are actually moving product!

The busiest new home development right now is the Villas at Paugus Bay...

Global Warming and the Real Estate Market

Posted 08-19-2010 at 10:51 AM by Roy Sanborn
Updated 08-24-2010 at 10:10 PM by Roy Sanborn



The Concord Monitor reported last week that “Statewide residential sales fell (in NH) nearly 32% in July from a year earlier… the steepest annual decline in more than two years…” Yes, July was not a particularly great month for home sales in NH or for that matter anywhere else, but why does everyone have to focus so much on every little negative turn? In the Lakes Region of NH, the towns...

Lake Winnipesaukee and Winnisquam Waterfront Sales Report - July 2010

Posted 08-12-2010 at 06:46 PM by Roy Sanborn



July was a good month for Winnipesaukee waterfront sales, at least when compared to last year. There were a total of six Winnipesaukee sales at an average of $955,333 compared to only half that number last July although the average sales price in July 2009 was higher at $1.82 million. Two of the six sales posted last month were island properties and those do obviously bring less money...

The Home Inspection Hurdle

Posted 08-08-2010 at 06:14 PM by Roy Sanborn


August is the high point for the summer. Unfortunately, it is also the high point for the total number residential listings on the market this year. As of August 1 there were 1344 homes on the market in the Lakes Region towns in this report. That’s up 6% from the 1277 available last month and the 1281 posted last August. Based on the rate of sales for the previous 12 months, we have a 21.5...

Winnipesaukee and Winnisquam Waterfront Sales Report - 1st Half 2010

Posted 07-23-2010 at 02:15 PM by Roy Sanborn
Updated 07-24-2010 at 11:23 AM by Roy Sanborn


June was a pretty good month for Winnipesaukee waterfront sales with a total of eight happy new homeowners finding a home to dock their boats on the shores of the big lake. This doesn’t quite measure up to the eleven sales last June, but the average sales price came in higher at $1.38 million compared to an average of $771,773 last June. There were five sales over $1 million last month compared...

Lakes Region Real Estate Report - 1st Half 2010

Posted 07-16-2010 at 01:34 PM by Roy Sanborn



We are half way through another year and you have to ask: “Are we having fun yet?”. In the communities covered by this Lakes Region of NH report, home sales have improved nicely but it certainly doesn’t feel like we are at the Six Flags Amusement Park. Every sale now seems to be fraught with unending complications and issues as a result of increased regulations and scrutiny of the lenders...

Looking for an immaculate home??

Posted 07-02-2010 at 02:17 PM by Roy Sanborn


In search of an immaculate home...

I was searching the MLS last week for a home between $250,000 and $450,000. A home that you would consider to be of high quality, great condition, wonderfully maintained, and that has lots of character and charm. A home that I would call special. I was only looking in three or four specific communities but I really didn’t come up with much. Undaunted,...

More Homes Stuck in the Middle

Posted 06-24-2010 at 10:57 AM by Roy Sanborn


The telephone is ringing, well, at least a little bit. It seems that buyers are out riding around and calling in on the yard signs which is great, but sometimes frustrating. One afternoon this week our duty agent had two inquiries on properties by cell phone and lost calls due to poor cell phone connections. Sometimes calls will get dropped two or three times in order to get just...

A Home For Your Hog

Posted 06-18-2010 at 10:00 AM by Roy Sanborn



It is the 87th Anniversary of the Laconia Motorcycle Rally and thousands of bikers have descended on the Lakes Region to enjoy the scenery and hospitality of the area. Today’s motorcycle enthusiasts are a far cry from the early days. Today there are doctors, lawyers (a few Indian Chiefs), business professionals, corporate executives, and more than a few real estate agents out there enjoying...

Good deals, good burgers, and horseshoes...

Posted 05-27-2010 at 07:14 PM by Roy Sanborn


Memorial Day is upon us. Everyone thinks of it as the start of the summer season and a great reason to get together with family and friends and have a huge barbeque. It is also common to include lots of beer in the festivities which allows the attendees to loosen up for New Hampshire’s unofficial sport of kings: horseshoes. Memorial Day is certainly a great day to relax, unwind, and appreciate what...

Stuck in the middle with you...

Posted 05-14-2010 at 09:26 AM by Roy Sanborn

The housing market continues to show some improvement in the Lakes Region with 71 residential home sales in the month of April, 2010 compared to just 50 in April 2009. That’s a strong 43% increase!

On a rolling 12 month basis ending on April 31, 2010 there were...
