Rye NH Real Estate Market Update - Rye New Hampshire Homes for November 2008

Rye New Hampshire is a lovely slice of NH beauty right along the coastline. Rye has rocky coastline and sandy beaches, as well as beautiful inland areas. We have some gorgeouse new construction and newer homes right alongside antique farmhouses, and we have seasonal cottages, too.

The real estate market in Rye NH has been like many other NH and Maine Seacoast towns here in this area, up and down. Like everywhere else, everyone always wants to know how the real estate market is, here in Rye and all along the Seacoast areas. Real estate impacts so many facets of the local economy, and many use that as a gauge for how things are now and where they might be going in the near future.

Rye NH homes real estate market for the month of November:

Rye currently has 63 homes for sale through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), and 5 of those homes were new to the market in November. The average asking price is $1,191,994, and the average days on the market for those homes for sale has been 231 days.

During the month of November, we saw 2 Rye NH homes go sale pending/under agreement. The average asking price of those homes was $342,950, and the average days on the market was 48 days for those homes.

Four homes in Rye sold/closed during November, and the average selling price of those homes that sold was $526,175, with the average total days on the market for those homes being 56 days. Those sellers who sold their homes in Rye during November received 96% of their last asking prices.

We saw 9 homes in Rye expire from the market without selling. The main reason homes don't sell during their listing period is they were priced incorrectly for the market and/or condition of the home. And most likely, these 9 homes didn't sell because they weren't priced correctly, and buyers didn't see them as a good value for the money.

If you're thinking about selling your home, one very important fact to know about your market is the absorption rate. The absorption rate will tell you how long it will take for the current inventory of homes in Rye NH to be absorbed by the market if no other homes come on the market. The absorption rate for November 2008 was just under 11 months, which is a little higher than October and a little less than September. If you want your home sold, you need to know this number to help you price your home accordingly.

Here is a handy checklist to help you decide if a second/vacation home is right for you.

1. Number One - What's Your Motivation? Are you looking for a vacation home for just you and your family? Or as an investment property that you will rent out over the summer months weekly or just as a winter rental? Or is this where you see yourself retiring someday? Usually the answer is a mix of these but don't go any farther until you have sorted this one out.
2. How Far from Home Are You Willing to Travel? Fly or Drive? With the ever increasing energy costs this is more important than ever. But it has always been right up there in considerations for a second home. Too far away and you will rarely visit - too close to home doesn't work either. How close is it to friends and family? About 100-200 miles from home seems to be the best range. You get the vacation feel that you have gone away and have not broken the bank in fuel costs.
3. What Type of Property Do You Need? Single family home or a condo? You don't have to set it in stone. Both have benefits - single family homes often offer yard space and condos give you option of maybe being poolside with no lawn to mow. Think about how many bedrooms (take visitors into account) and bathrooms are you going to need? What about parking?
4. Where Do You Want to be Located? Start a list of potential target locations. Close to the beach, near a lake, small town, or a more urban downtown area? Consider your hobbies like golf, gardening or surfing. Do you want to be close to cultural activities or a serenely private oasis. If you are considering down the road to retirement - medical facilities, transportation and an active senior community would be important questions to ask yourself.
5. Do Your Homework on the Communtity. Go online to Chamber of Commerce sites, city/town websites and area real estate websites. See if you like any of the local restaurant menus, checkout local activities and look at state web sites for historic destination and parks nearby.
6. Go Visit! Visit your top locations - check them out. See if you like the shopping areas, eat in the restaurants, talk to the people. Can you see yourself hanging out here? How does it feel? Take a walk around to get a feel of the place. The local Chamber of Commerce's will have lots of hand outs on local businesses. Schedule into your travel plans.
7. Put Your Finances Together! Doing this in advance makes the process of buying a second/vacation home much more fun. Knowing what you can spend and the tax benefits of it gets rid of the largest obstacle to ownership. You don't want to fall in love with your dream house only to find out you can't have it! Getting pre-approved for the mortgage puts you in a stronger negotiating position.
8. Hire the right real estate agent! Use a professional who has experience in second/vacation home sales. The right agent can make your search more efficient and fun. This is a purchase in your leisure activities so you want it to be fun and easy from the start!
