Yankee Ultralight Flyers...Sanderson's Field Fly-In, Greenland NH July 8-16, 2011
For 20 years, ultralight and general aviation enthusiasts have been coming to Ted Sanderson's private 2,500' grass runway on Post Road in Greenland, NH in July for a week long fly-in, something resembling a cross between a rock music festival, camping expedition and sport flying adventure. With each passing year, attendance at this annual event continues to "soar" (do I hear 210,000 groans? Sorry, I couldn't stop myself), with all aircraft and the public welcome.
Yankee Ultralight Flyers "Club" was founded in late 1990, originally meeting in Berwick, ME at Bob Ring's field and was chartered by the United States Ultralight Association as club number 202. Back in those days, ultralight aircraft consisted mainly of home-built small engine ultralights, but today their membership comprises the East Coast from Florida to Canada and includes not only enthusiasts of fixed wing ultralights, but powered parachutes, rotorcraft, and all manner of aviation aircraft. I'm told a recent fly-in included an owner of a DC3!
Yankee Ultralight Flyers Fly-In * Camp-In is as colorful as any Albuquerque, NM International Balloon Festival. Overnight and weeklong stays at Sanderson's Field in Greenland, NH are encouraged by the club, providing campsites, food catered by Angelino's Sausage House of Hillsboro, NH on July 8-10, live music including local bands like Lobster Creek and a large covered pavilion for central activities.
Yankee Ultralight Flyers is especially proud of their "Young Eagles" program, where youths between the ages of 8 and 17 can fly with any member of the club, receive a certificate of their experience and have their hours logged in the "World Largest Logbook." "Young Eagle" members number over 1 million!
The public is welcome. Please stop by if you have the chance. You will find the staff (in the yellow tee-shirts) and members friendly and welcoming. Be sure to tell them, "Some guy on the internet told me to stop by."
As you will see in the brief video below, aircraft are taking off and landing all the time, so be sure to have your camera handy for these exciting moments.

Wordless Wednesday...On Wobbly Legs
Over this past weekend, we spotted this little spotted fawn crossing the road. It was around noon and mom was nowhere in sight. Sure hope he makes it where he is going.

Greenland 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 market is headed. IN 2006, 61 homes were sold with an average days on market of 106. 2007 saw a drop in homes sold to 57 and they were on the market longer at 125 days. For 2008, the recession fully entrenched, a third less homes sold at 38 but the days on market lessened at 109. While the Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit was established to prop up a sagging market in 2009, we saw an increase in homes sold to 53 and even less time on the market at 95 days.


Greenland NH Real Estate Average Sales Price
The average sales price in 2006 was $412,299 and ramped up 6.4% to $438,786 in 2007. Even with the recession in full bloom the average sales price edged up again 4.3% to $457,700. But wait, the Tax Credit was supposed to help prop up the market and yet average sales price plunged 17% to $378,176.

Greenland NH Real Estate Market Trend
In the last twelve months, 47 homes have sold with an average days on market at its lowest in this study at 75. Average sales price has moved up to $409,331. The now expired Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit was an artificial component of the market and had its un-natural results. As the market heads back to normalcy, we are seeing the demand for GreenLand NH Real Estate is strong. Buyers understand investment strategy 101: buy low, sell high. They are taking advantage of the lowest interest rates in decades, reasonable home prices, and lots of inventory.
Is now a good time to buy Greenland NH Real Estate? You Bet! Good news for sellers, too.
