It was quite a week in Manchester NH area Real Estate Market. We saw a giant increase in new listings hitting the market. Many of the homes going under contract in less than a week. Interest rates rose to 5.3% on average. With additional increases promised by the FED, buyers are hurrying to buy now.We are seeing a great deal of relocation buyers coming to NH for our great jobs. We are also seeing a great deal of first time buyers still entering the market. One of the most steady buyers is those looking to downsize now as well.  The fact most people are not getting is that the longer you wait, the more it will cost you to buy with these higher interest rates. We are seeing new listings not selling when they are over priced. Many home sellers are now wondering if they waited too long to s...

What if someone in a home had Covid 19 and now is recovered and is clear. Can that home be put up for sale? Would the seller have to disclose that fact? Let me share a story how it was not handled right killing that deal. The phone rang and it sounded like a war. With uncertain times, comes uncertain answers. First it may depend on what the state law is. Here in NH on basic items, only defects in the home have to be disclosed. Having recovered from Covid is not one of them... There is a "how ever" though. The owner should be honest when asked.  Here is the short story, the home owner listed with a friend of his wife. A newer agent anxious for her first sale. The sellers had covid and were now clear, so listed. The house needs work so there would not be any bidding wars here. It was too ...

That time is now. Interest rates ticked up again A trend we may see continue. That means buyers who whe were waiting to buy, better get off the fen...

I got a message from a friend who wants to sell their home. But his wife wanted to list with a friend of hers who just started selling Real Estate. Before I could ask him why he is reaching out to me, he said it is not going well. He does not think they know what they are doing. He also things they are not getting any support.   They listed the house 2 weeks ago. The first week they made buyers wait to see it until an open house. Now they have nearly 50 offers but the agent keeps showing the house. I wondered why they have not accepted at least one of these offers? The seller said they do not know which one to pick as the agent said to keep getting offers. How many more offers do they need? He then said he is hearing from many angry buyer agents and buyers who are asking the same thing...

With more Buyers than houses for sale in a lot of areas. Buyers are finding it hard to find available homes. They are finding it even harder to get an offer accepted.  There are new home listing s hitting the market daily. There are offers being accepted. Despite that, many buyers can not get their offers accepted. Some are very frustrated. SO much, that some are asking "how I am getting my offers accepted?" The secret is to write better offers. That is followed by "my buyer agent did." But did they? I list and sell just as many homes as a Listing agent. I want to tell you how many "not so good" offers I get when faced with getting 10 or even 20 offers in the first day or two of listing. The buyer is often left to ask why their offer was not accepted.  IN SUMMARY to get an offer accepte...

With a full day of showing homes Saturday, something happened I have never seen before. We drove up to an upscale home in a wonderful neighborhood. There were cars parked almost a mile away with people wanting to get in. We walked around the outside and got in line to go inside. After a short wait we were in the home with wall to wall people. Then a lady came around and entered through a back sliding door. She promptly announced "she was buying this home and all other buyer can just leave." I was waiting for the laugh but she was serious. She wanted other buyers to get out of the home and out of her way. Standing like a wall she was not getting through me. My buyers got to see the home and we headed out a side door. The agent holding the open house had no control. They lost control the ...

A Home Owner called and said they wanted to Sell their home. However there was a condition. I would have to provide a negative test to be able to go inside their home. They went as far as saying any buyer who wanted to see their home, would also have to provide a negative test.  I have not had any seller request this before. Before we get into testing, I need some more information. Are you looking to sell now? They said yes. Next, i asked if they already had a new home to move to, or do they need assistance in finding one. They will be moving in with their daughter. Then they and their daughter will search for a new home with an inlaw area. Their daughter would then need to sell their home.   The next set of questions was to learn more about their house. They enjoyed telling me about al...

What happens when the tenants are not paying and you can not pay the mortgage? It may be time to sell. With uncertain times, many investors are asking if they should now sell their investment properties. This seller owns a local single family. They were relocated and feeling they had no time to sell their home, placed a tenant in the home. The tenants have called and said they will not be able to pay rent. Therefore the seller can not pay the mortgage. Their choices are to sell or walk away. Checking the loan balance versus what the market value is, there is equity in the home. The tenants allowed me to walk through the home. I was welcomed by a life sized cardboard cut out of Jason Aldean sitting on a Coors light box. Yes located in the bathroom. The tenants said they saw on TV they do...

What will the Spring Market mean for the Manchester NH Real Estate Market? Spring means warmer weather and more houses coming on the market for sale. Many Home Owners have waited until spring to sell. Many more chose to list with us during the last month of winter and saw double digit offers and huge selling prices. Many people are asking when the perfect time to sell is? That time is now. Interest rates ticked up again A trend we may see continue. That means buyers who whe were waiting to buy, better get off the fence.

The phone rings and there is a person on the line who is very worked up. They eventually slowed down so i could makeout what they were saying. They were distaught over the sale of thei Manchester NH area Home.  Were they listed with me? No. Ok, good. So, I then had to get to the bottom of this call. After listening to the seller I was in shock. A buyer showed up at their home shouting they needed to follow directions. That they needed to move soon. The seller, an older couple was at a loss. They had not even sold the house yet they said. Before their call to me, they did call their son who is out of state that called the police. The police had come and gone. They were safe but had no clue what just happened. Their son told them to call me. I looked up their home in MLS. They had listed ...

Depending on whose eyes you are reading this with, you may or may not find this cruel. I had a would be Manchester NH area Home Buyer call me asking why some Real Estate companies are so cruel In order to know what a GREAT agent does, you may also need to know what a GREAT agent does not do. A great Realtor answers their phone. If their outgoing message says, "Please do not leave a message as I do not check my voicemail often." You may know to stay away. Was it me? No. Ok, good. So, I then had to get to the bottom of this call. After listening to the buyer, I know what they mean. It leads to the question of how long does a seller have to wait to answer a buyers offer? How many offers does a seller need before they can make a decision?  I experienced this myself many times this year alre...

There are 2 popular questions I am hearing often. The trick question is that i can not sell my home unless i first find a Manchester NH area Home to buy. So how do I buy a home if I have to sell my home first? A call came in from an older couple who was at a loss. They tried to sell their home contingent on finding a new one, but all their offers were rejected. The can not sell their home and be homeless. After 6 months of failure, stress and near depression, their son stepped in when their agreements expired. He told them to call me. I looked up their home in MLS. They had listed with a big out of town company. How and why? I headed over to talk in person. It was easier to communicate and get some real answers. I sold the sons home, so he asked me to help. Sitting at the dining room ta...
