I know that so many of you follow my blog for sneak previews of North Conway NH bank owned real estate coming for sale and foreclosed properties that are about to hit the local real estate market. The same is true of my market area in the Ossipee NH real Estate region and especially the Ossipee Lake properties in Ossipee NH and, don't forget, Freedom NH has Ossipe lake front Real Estate.

So with that in mind, I just wanted to make sure that my data is fresh for you faithful followers of my blog and users of my website at http://www.billbarbin.com .

915 Conway Rd. in Madison NH has sold! It is unbelievable that a workable piece of Madison NH real estate sold for $38,000! A 3 bedroom cottage that needed plenty of work but had some bones to it. On a full, poured foundation, with well and septic on site! Driveway, a yard a nd in the winter some views of MT. Chocorua, a fine piece of Tamowrth NH real estate to see from the back dooryard of your home, formerly foreclosed home in Madison NH.

On the same note, I want you to be aware of properties that have gone pending.

76 Crestwood Drive in the Kearsarge area of North Conway NH is a bank owned property that I listed at the beginning of the month and is now under contract. The foreclosed real estate market in the North Conway NH area is pretty hot. Bank Owned Homes are going for about 10% below the market value, so they just don't sit for long in the Conway to Ossipee NH real estate market area. I find the Hiram ME bank owned real estate and the Fryeburg Maine foreclosures aren't moving quite as fast but with aggressive pricing I am still fairly certain of a market time under 90 days.

Just a quick market recap on the Ossipee NH waterfront real estate market for August 2010:

It is in tough shape! With foreclosed real estate on Ossipee Lake waterfront at an all time high this year, the bank owned lakefront homes are some of the only properties that have sold and have set the values for future sales.

My foreclosure property listing for sale at Weetamoe Shores Association in Ossipee NH is a perfect example of bank owned property values. Unit #9 at 80 Weetamoe Rd. in Ossipee NH is set on the grounds of a former set of camps on Ossipee Lake. The association owns the approx. 3100 ft of waterfront beachfront on Lake Ossipee. The unit owner is alotted a private area of beach and 1 boat slip on the dock. The assoc. fees have avg. out to approx. $225/month. Most people pay more for golf course memberships! Speaking of which, it is not a related business but the property backs up to the Indian Mound Golf Course in Ossipee NH. So you have Ossipee lake, beach and boat slip on one side of you and a golf course, with a very respectable 19th hole, on the other side of you, in a private association setting. The camp itself looks great. It was remodeled when they all went condo back in 05-06. It has 2 small bedrooms, a laundry closet for a stacked unit, a full bath, kitchen with small breakfast bar and an open concept area for a small living room. This is a great place to play outdoors. The house is nice, clean and upscale living but it's a lake camp. Off the deck there is a small "bunkhouse", which is a finished room with an exterior, lockable door and (unknown insulation) that has electric baseboard heat and a cable tv outlet.

For those people that love the Ossipee Lake off-season, so to speak, the views from the beach explode in a display of fall color across the entire presidential range. Ossipee Lake itself, once frozen, becomes a crossroads for major recreational snowmobile trails, while the surrounding valleys have some of the best cross country skiing in New England. Alpine skiing is considered to have been brought to America, just a 20 min. drive away in North Conway NH. North Conway NH is home to a robust 2nd home market as it has grown into a 4 season, multiiappeal resort. Surrounded by famous skiing centers like Cranmore Mountain Resort for downhill skiing, boarding, etc and Jackson Ski Touring Foundation for cross country skiing (to name a few) for winter fun and the hiking, canoeing, concerts, and other summer events, North Conway NH is the secret weapon of the Ossipee laker. For the Ossipee Lake Vacationer North Conway is the place they can get away to on their terms. They may know a back way into town, or at least the best times to avoid the Conway traffic! But best of all, on Friday evening, when most of the traffic is still heading north into the time consuming villages, the Ossipee Laker is already at his vacation camp.

And please remember, my free smartphone application will be sent to you by text, if you text "nehomes" to 87778. This thing rocks! You can use the gps in your phone or search by address, zip, etc and see all the real data on homes for sale right where you are! It's free, so why not?

If you like your phones dumb, like I do, my website at http://www.billbarbin.com has simple search fields for NH and Maine Real Estate. You get all the info. for free, no worries. Just use it!

Oh yeah, you can download the mobile application by going to the website and putting in your phone # by going to http://mobile.smarteragent.com/badger/billbarbin/ .

What's the big deal?

Why all the hype about a new mobile phone app for searching Ossipee NH real estate, North Conway Real Estate or any property for sale in NH, VT, most of Maine and MA?

Just picture yourself on a nice summer day, on a boat, enjoying Ossipee Lake, with it's awesome views of the White Mountains, just north past North Conway NH and Cranmore Mt.. You see a beautiful stretch of white sand beach with cottages spaced along Lake Ossipee's waterfront. From out on the lake you can see what looks like a real estate for sale sign in front of one of the camps... You pull your boat in a little closer but you just can't quite see the phone number to call the real estate agent, and who knows, you probably won't reach a live person anyhow.

Ossipee Lake waterfront home scenario 1: At this point you probably figure it's a $400,000 property so why bother anyhow. Plenty of fun things to do on Ossipee Lake today anyhow so you move on with your day.

Ossipee Lake waterfront home scenario 2: As you are about to say, "Forget it", your brilliant wife says, "Hey, I just found that place on my phone! It is Unit 9 at 80 Weetamoe Shores in Ossipee NH and it is a bank owned piece of real estate! The price is $234,900 and it includes exclusive use of it's own strip of private waterfront on their Ossipee Lake beach and a slip on the association's boat dock with association fees of less than $230/month! It says here that it backs up to the Indian Mound Golf Course in Ossipee." So, being the skeptic you say, "Sounds like it's priced to0 high if it's a foreclosed property on Ossipee Lake!" And then she says, "Well... the SOLD DATA I am reading for neighboring properties, on my phone, shows that the unit at the far end of the association just recently sold for $ . So maybe it's worth making an offer..."

This could be you! Or maybe it's a condo in North Conway NH, or perhaps you like Bartlett as a real estate investment area with benefits...

The point is, you don't have to call an agent or stop to pick up the flyer. By downloading the free app to your phone by texting "NEHOMES" to 87778 or going to my site at http://www.billbarbin.com and entering your phone number in the form on the right margin of my screen, you can have access to all the mls data for the NH and VT MLS through NNEREN (and parts of ME and Northern MA) and all of Maine MLS through MREIS (coming in the next few weeks) and all of MA through MLS-PIN! Just about anywhere in New England (hence "NEHOMES") you will be able to find real time MLS real estate for sale and sold data (where allowed) on your phone. You can search by town, address, zip code or even use the gps on your phone to show you what is for sale near you right at that moment!

You will see that each listing page has a link to the raw youtube video I shoot of every bank owned real estate listing I get. I believe in showing the property as clearly and un-enhanced as possible. My theory is that a buyer that can get past the video means business.
