Dan O'Halloran Lake Sunapee Real Estate

April sure went by fast and I think things are really starting to change. Beyond the fact that sales are up 28% for this time period, it really seems like there is more general confidence out there. When running into people the first thing out of their mouth is no longer “hey did you see xyz company closed, this person went bankrupt, etc”. Provided we don’t have any more economic curve balls, I feel like we’re slowly on our way out of this downturn!

It seems like forever since I have run the monthly sales numbers and have had even a remotely positive uptick in the number of transactions! Well as you will see sales in the Sunapee Region are up 41% compared to the same time last year. We are still a bit below past years, but it is always nice to hear some positive news!

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

1st Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Info

This was definitely a short and busy month with lots of changes in the housing industry. A couple major housing plans/acts were signed and decided upon

• The Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan
• American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Needless to say this is a very intense time for the economy and it is going to be interesting to see how it all plays out. I’ll be doing a post soon about some of the new housing plans/acts/ bills and quick summaries of their key points.

There were 27 listings that went under agreement this past month. To see the rest of February's stats, please click through to my Sunapee Region Blog

This past month sales were down by almost 50% in comparison to previous years. However, we did have 26 listings go under agreement this January and as reported on WMUR- New Hampshire winter tourism numbers have been quite strong. I recently spoke with Will Hurley owner of Outspokin’ Bicycle and Sport in Newbury and he said sales this year have been surprisingly strong for what was expected to be a tough year. People are still buying skis and taking advantage of the great snow conditions–Best stress reliever I can think of!
