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.

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?

I got a call from a couple getting a divorce. They were given my name as a Realtor who handles divorce sales very well here in the Manchester NH area. They need to list now, but should they? Mr. Seller had a greater concern that their young children's Christmas go on with out any interuption. I stopped by the home to go through out. I sat down with both sellers to go over how this would work.  First, listing between Thanksgiving and Christmas is a great time to sell. There are even less homes on the market during this time while the amount of buyers is still strong and steady. This means less competition. Second, YES, decorate for Christmas. Put up the lights and the tree. Hang the stockings by the fireplace. Make sure though, that each room is accessible. But, keep the presents out of ...

Does anyone buy a home between Thanksgiving and Christmas? I am getting several inquiries asking if they should sell now or wait until after New Years here in the Manchester NH area. Many are surprised to hear that NOW is a great time to sell. These are not normal or even average times. We have a great deal of buyers looking to buy now to take advantage of the ultra low interest rates. We also have a great deal of relocation buyers coming to me to buy home sin NH.  The best answer I can then give a seller is the the BEST time to sell is when they are ready. Whether you need to sell, must sell, ready to get a bigger home or even down size to a smaller home, now is the time. Buyers looking to buy take less time to decide.  Some sellers do not want to put up or take down Christmas decorati...

Like a boomerang, they are back. Bank Owned homes. Check out this wonderful home I listed yesterday in the Manchester NH area. Now you may think this is the end of the story. List a hoarder home, clean it, sell it quickly, the investor cleans and fixes and re-lists with me to sell when done. That is the normal recipe for these homes, the however is how we got here. The home is reported vacant. The front door over grown with no access. Two junk cars sitting in the yard. I walk up to the side door and notice it is ajar. The door lock broken off. I can smell it already.... I push the door open as yes, I have to go inside. My camera in one hand and my "spider stick" in the other hand. Everything covered in webs and dust except a new case of Gatorade sitting by the door. I stand on that to k...

Yesterday I wrote about a young couple looking to sell their Manchester NH area home. They were fixated on "how much they could save" when listing the home. The only thing that mattered was how low of a commission they would pay. In their haste they listed with an out of area discount broker. They spent zero time thinking of service, guidance and what happens next. They were left to fend for themselves.  The question was asked "what should a home seller be focused on then?" There are 2 parts to the answer. First off would be how much money they end with at closing. Take the sales price and deduct Realtor fees.  Lets break it down in writing so you can see. I would list it at $399,900 and get that or more easily for the home. They listed it at $360,000.  They had 1 offer of $350,000. If ...

There are certain phrases or words that may make you want to run when you see them in a MLS Listings comments. When reviewing homes that have not sold, many home Sellers here in the Manchester NH area often ask why their home did not sell. Some times the answer as easy as looking up their listing in the MLS.  You may wonder if they really thought about what they were writing or did they think too much?  Please check them out and leave a comment what your vote is. THE TOP COMMENTS IN A MLS LISTING YOU NEVER WANT TO SEE 1. WILL NOT LAST, but has been on the market for 6 months. 2. SELLER SAYS SELL, but home is still on the market at it's original price 6 months later. 3. PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP, but the pictures in MLS show a messy room in the photos. 4. NEEDS TLC. Usually means run, it needs ...

How much are you willing to pay for convenience? You want it now. You want it easy. You want it all... BUT, in Real Estate, how much convenience cost you? In life the old saying is "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is." That comes in Real Estate too. You may have heard these advertising jingles. Can sell your house in 30 days guaranteed. If we can not sell it we will buy it. Get a guaranteed higher offer than the asking price when you list with us. We can list your home at a discount.  Before I tell you a story about a hard lesson one seller learned. Lets take a look at these advertising wonders. "Or should I say blunders" Can sell your house in 30 days guaranteed. And if they do not sell it, what is teh guarantee. Well they will list for another month of course and try agai...

There was a common theme of the last few days where a flood of questions have come in. How has the election results affected the Real Estate market in the Manchester NH area? We here in NH have seen one of the best real estate markets since 2005. We have a very strong economy here in NH, having rebounded after the Covid Shut down. Now comes the election. Fears of change. Fears of more regulations. Fears of interest rates being driven up. Fears of a wall street crash and fears of socialism. Before we dive too far into fears, the time to buy or sell a home is when you are ready. Some need to sell. Some must sell. Just as some need to buy and some must buy. In any market, there are sellers and buyers. The timing needs to be what is right for you.   The first part of the market affected is ...

Did you know we List and Sell LUXURY HOMES? I recently got a call from a buyer asking to see the "THE MOST EXPENSIVE HOMES" in the Manchester NH area.   This buyer wanted luxury. He said price was no object. He was born here, moved to California made "some money" and was coming back to get away from high taxes and regulation. He was shocked when i showed him the great luxury homes in our are and how inexpensive they were compared to other states. He learned a home does not have to be expensive to have all the luxury he wanted and then some. Let us show you there is a difference in agents.    Lets take a look at the HIGHEST PRICED HOMES THAT HAVE SOLD THIS YEAR  in the Manchester NH area.  THERE WERE 785 Single Family HOMES SOLD in Manchester NH as of 11/5/2020 The MOST Expensive SALES a...
