Is there such a thing as getting "too many offers?" Something is going on here in the Manchester NH area that I want to share. Two homes on the same street go on the market near the same time. Same style, same age, same size and similar condition. Lets look at the first home. The Seller choose a Listing Agent that under priced the home at $310,000 to encourage a bidding war. They held all showings until a weekend open house. Held all offers until Monday at noon. They had well over 100 people through the home. They got 41 offers with the highest offer $30,000 over asking price.  Lets look at the second home. They chose a full service local agent who priced the home at market value. It was listed at $349,900. They started showings when the home was placed in MLS. They had 9 showings the f...

Hold onto something, The Real Estate Market is changing here in Manchester NH area. There are only 26 homes for sale in our area. Roughly 25% of normal. Interest rates dropped again. Values are up this winter. There is a however though that could put the brakes on. Banks are pressuring appraisers to come in lower.Banks are making mortgages harder to get. What does this mean for anyone thinking of Selling a home? It means "LIST NOW". Looking into the my infamous Crystal Ball, we can see the future.  1. By listing now, you have little to no competition. 2. By listing now, you can get most likely the highest price for your home.3. By listing now, you can control your time line. Such as close when you want or need to. 4. By listing now, buyers may not beat you up on inspection items if your...

Condominiums in the Manchester NH area were Red Hot in 2020.  Lets look back to the stats and lets look ahead to see what the 2021 Real Estate market may be like here in the Manchester NH area.

Did you feel that? A tremor shook our local Manchester NH area Real Estate Market. What is going on with appraisals? First they were late, then slow and now... They are coming in under sales price. In some cases "way" under sales price. I have had 2 bad appraisals this December already and 3 of my last 6 sales in the last 2 months. I have not had 3 bad appraisals in the previous 12 years combined. It is leading to some guesses... Are banks telling appraisals to come in low? Are prices really falling? What can we do? Before I get into answering my own questions, other agents are facing low appraisals as well. These low appraisals are killing sales. They are hurting buyers and sellers. Many sellers are also buying which affects a second sale as well.   So, are banks telling appraisers to ...

Wishing you all a very special MERRY CHRISTMAS from all of us to all of you. I am hoping all of your wishes and dreams come true. I thank you all for the support and inspiration in 2020 and look forward to a happy and healthy 2021.     I want to share with you my favorite ornaments on my Christmas tree this year.       Above is an ornament my daughter made for me when she was only 2 years old. (that was 18 years ago).        Many agents ask why all my blogs have a common theme. I think it is important to share the Real Estate stories whether good or bad so future Buyers and Sellers can learn and have a GREAT Home buying or Selling Experience.   The common lesson is that as a Buyer OR Seller in this market you need every advantage you can to get your home sold. It starts with choosing t...

It is that time of year again and although this year our Christmas spirit may have been tried,  I am bringing back a favorite to share with you all.   It was the Night before Christmas and all I could see, is a Manchester NH Home Seller kneeling by his tree.   The Seller looked up, at the stars so bright, they wished for Santa to bring them a Listing agent, that would try... with all their might.    They had it for sale before, without even a bite. No one came and and no one could see, this beautiful house with this magnificent tree.   Stockings were hung on the fireplace so nice, a completely redone inside and all, at such a good price.     A new kitchen, a new roof, but did it matter? Would they ever hear the clatter... of buyers walking through their home? I think not as they sit he...

When you are out an about, do watch and listen what is going on around you? Let me share a story from when I was sitting at Lunch in the Manchester NH area. There was 2 women having a loud conversation as one of them discussed that another home on her street that just came on the market already went agreement. Hew voice got heated when she spoke about the lack of service she is receiving from her Real Estate Agent .  "Then I heard my name. how could that #$%^& Godzyk sell that home that fast?"    Then the friend bursts out with "Maybe you should ask for him to be your agent for Christmas?" as she laughs. Now before you think I was listening in on their conversation, it is a small dining room and they were really really loud. You could not help to hear. My friend I was having lunch with ...

We made it to  Christmas week. The Manchester NH area looks like a winter wonderland with fresh new snow. My favorite type of call came in yesterday. The caller asked if I could help them get a new home for Christmas. They need to sell their home and want to purchase a new one. I sure can and I did. Their home will be coming on the market and we went out looking for their dream home. No matter where I go peope are asking how pandemic is affecting the real estate market? With interest rates actually down again, we have had many new buyers inquire about buying a home this year. YES we are open and YES we can help. The Manchester NH area Real Estate Market saw a busy week last week. Many of the calls were from Home Owners looking for answers when is the best time to list their homes for a ...

What is Santa bringing you for Christmas? Many Home Sellers are asking Santa for "A BUYER'. Here in the Manchester NH area though, some Home Sellers might be getting coal. "What can I do to avoid getting coal for Christmas?" many Home Sellers are asking. The recipe for success is simple. 1. Do NOT over price your home? Many home sellers believe they can ask any price for their home and someone will pay it. That is not true. The amount of buyers has declined greatly. There are buyers out there, and they are not over paying for homes.  2. Learn "You get what you pay for". Many sellers think homes are selling themselves, so why pay a listing agent. They are soon finding out that discount brokers can mean discount services. A great listing aims to get more for your home that more than cover...

There is change in the air. Many are asking "What is going on with the Real Estate Market?" As the sun rises over NH, I am already hard at work getting my new Manchester NH area home listing under contract.  First, lets talk about the Real Estate Market. It is slowing, but before you panic, lets look deeper. Typically the average market slows from Thanksgiving to New Years. This year add in a resurgence of the pandemic to drive people back inside. Just because it is slowing, does not mean homes are not selling. It means many sellers are choosing to wait to sell. Less homes on the market means less sales. There is a "however" though, as many have noticed many new listings are staying on the market longer. WHY? many of you may be asking. The main reason is they are over priced. The days o...

Did the first big snow storm of the year affect the Manchester NH area Real Estate Market? Falling on a weekend where many look at homes, it sure slowed down weekend sales. Even in a blizzard though, homes were listed and homes were sold. The market remains active with sellers wanting to meet to put a plan together to get their home listed both now and after the Holidays.  ARE YOU BEHIND IN YOUR MORTGAGE?

As the sun rises over NH, I get a phone from a caller asking me if they can "fire" their listing agent? It is not a Manchester NH area home I have listed. So, I need some more information. Where is your home and why do you want to fire your agent?  The caller tells me their address as I get busy looking it up on MLS. They then proceed to tell me they have "many reasons" such as they can not reach their agent. That their agent does not return calls or emails promptly and that "their home has not sold. What more reason did i need?" They listed early in the fall. With my listings going under contract in mere days, how can a home not sell in this market many would ask?  Before I could ask why they were calling me, they said they noticed how fast my new listings sell. They also said when the...

How will the Holiday season affect the Manchester NH area Real Estate Market? That is a question consumers in our are want to know. We typically see a slow down in new listings during the Holidays, however that actually makes now, a great time to sell your home. We actually saw an increase in multy family listings as investors do not take a Holiday. This is no average year, where buyers are eager to purchase now with the ultra low interest rates that will start to rise in 2021.  ARE YOU BEHIND IN YOUR MORTGAGE?
