Kim Carpenter-Lake Winnipesaukee REALTOR -Lake Winnipesaukee Real Estate, NH

Here are the Lake Winnipesaukee real estate statistics for February 2008 compared to February 2007.                                            

                                                February 2008              February 2007      

Number of closed transactions:          61                                  83       
Average listing price:                   $255,566                        $434,790       
Average sale price:                      $242,045                        $404,885       
Average days on market:                 147                                169      
Number of pending sales:                 79                                 108
Median list price:                         $199,900                        $238,000
Median sale price:                       $195,000                        $225,000

I know you are thinking, wow, those numbers look pretty grim.  Well, with the foot upon foot of snow that we have been receiving I am sure the weather has a lot to do with the low numbers.  Looking at the closed transactions in February 2007 there were seven luxury Lake Winnipesaukee waterfront properties that sold for more than $1 million compared to February 2008 when there was only one. That alone has a huge impact on the overall averages.

I do see one positive in this months update and that is of course is the average days on market.  The number of days a home stays on the market before selling has decreased. Yea!  Some good news!

It is a great time to invest in Lake Winnipesaukee area properties.

INTERVIEW ME!

I have never been a huge winter fan. In fact, a few years ago I begged my husband to move our family to Florida to live. He denied my request...

Ever since I became a REALTOR though the winters haven't seemed so bad because my mind was focused on something other than the cold harsh winters.

My parents, and my sister's family live down in Florida and call me daily and their favorite question is "How's the weather?" I am sure if any of you New Englander's know anyone who lives in Florida you also hear this question frequently. My standard answer this year has been "It's snowing."

I had been doing so well this year with the seamlessly never-ending forecasts of yet another storm we were about to be hit with. I am sure that I can contibute my "getting through the winter" to the fact that my new house has a garage. It is a huge relief to know that I really don't need to go out in the cold to get to my car, and no one needs to scrape the snow and ice off it anymore!

BUT the other day, I was sitting looking out the window......and it was STILL snowing.

It is only the middle of February and I am already feeling this way??? Oh no....will it ever end?

If you happen to love snow, skiing, snowmobiling or anything cold weather elated.... you should DEFINITELY consider buying real estate in Alton, New Hampshire!!!
