The Real estate market continues to baffle me! After an extremely active April and May market, where lots of buyers were out making offers, the month of June so far has been slow. For a while it looked like we would be in for quite a spring market but the buying did not last long. The activity has helped home sales in 2009 and many market indicators show that we may have hit a bottom. Maybe not "the" bottom, but "a" bottom.
Sales in surrounding towns are up 21% this year from the same time last year. There is an 8.4 month supply of homes in May. Not bad, 6 months might be better but an improvement from last may when we had an 11 month supply. Selling prices seem to have hit a plateau again. If you recall we had stable prices last year until late 2008 when we took another 6% dip in prices in the last quarter. That fall was due to the failure of many lending institutions. Today home prices in the area are nearly 30% below the peak in 2005. This puts us back in the range of home prices in 2002.
I think the buying activity we have seen this year can be attributed to an improved perception of the economy, some first time buyer incentives, and low interest rates. All of this coupled with home buyers who are growing impatient to buy a home and the feeling that even if the market declines, it does not have much more to fall!

The mother of all ice storms took out the electricity for well over half of all New Hampshire homes on December 12 and cost a great many homeowners and businesses dearly. The loss of power at home and at work seemed to many as the final insult of what has been a year of losses in jobs, the stock market and housing.Last Updated on Wednesday, 28 January 2009 04:35 Written by Carl Johnson
