Danville NH Real Estate Report August 2010

We are looking at homes sold data for the last four years verses the last twelve months to determine where the real estate market is headed. In 2006, there were 37 homes sold and the average days on market was 70. 2007 saw an 8% decrease in the number of homes sold at 34 but the days on market doubled to 144 (recession looming). In contrast to recessionary pressures, 2008's market sizzled with 29% more homes sold at 44 and days on market dropped off to 117. The Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit was established in 2009 to prop up a sagging real estate market which had an opposite effect on Danville's market and the number of homes sold plunged 43% to only 25 homes sold on an average of 115 days on market.

Danville NH Real Estate Average Sales Price

The average sales price for 2006 was $314,300 and fell 16% in 2007 to $262,832. Contrary to when Danville's market was the most active, average price fell a modest 3.5% to $253,670. Even though the Tax Credit was in effect, Danville's values fell another 8% to $232,940 in 2009.

Danville NH Real Estate Market Trend

In the last twelve months, there have been 41 homes sold up 39% and the days on market has dropped to 90 days. Average sales price is yet lower again by 6% to $218,918. There is no doubt the now expired Federa Home Buyer Tax Credit has had an effect on the market. Unfortunately, the Tax Credit was an artificial component of the market and has had its un-natural results. The indications point to a market that is healthier than 2009 with strong demand for homes in Danville.

Everyone is talking about "Staging your Home" what does that mean and why should I listen. Staging is merely a term used to define a buyers expectation of your home. Think about it for a moment, have you ever been to someones home and just marveled at how great it looked? Now think about the home that you've been to that you could not wait to get out of. Two extremes, but if those homes were exactly the same style , size, and in the same neighborhood, priced the same which one would you feel was worth the money? Its an easy answer. We all feel that our home is beautiful and in our definition of beauty it is. We need to remember that everyone has a different definition and by changing our home to appeal to a broader number of buyers is not a bad reflection on us. There is a huge inventory of homes out there today and there are buyers but not enough for all the homes. You need to be able to make yours appeal to that limited buyer pool and this done by neutralizing your home. You don't need to spend tons of money, sometimes just painting, or just removing clutter, rearranging furniture to make a room appear larger is all it takes. I am constantly changing my furniture around and painting my walls and each time I do I feel as though I am in a new house.
