Blue Moon over Hampstead NH
Jay took this shot last night in our driveway. A blue moon while not rare is not something we see often and while tonight is technically the Full Moon and yes it is a Blue Full Moon it looks like the clouds will cover it.
This is the second full moon in December and according to InfoPlease.com a Blue Moon is ….
What is a Blue Moon?
There are in fact two definitions for a blue moon. According to the more recent definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. For a blue moon to occur, the first of the full moons must appear at or near the beginning of the month so that the second will fall within the same month (the average span between two moons is 29.5 days).
What ever you do tonight stay safe and enjoy your New Years along with the Blue Moon!
Best Wishes in Twenty Ten
Jay and Monika

Rockingham County Real Estate Market Report Nov 2009

Filed under Market Reports
New Hampshire Home Sales show a historic Increase!
November was an awesome month as far as real estate statistics goes. Statewide unit sales jumped 70% in November compared to November of 2008. We haven’t seen an increase like this in years! Statewide the residential inventory dropped from a 22 month supply in Jan of 2009 to a 9.1 month supply which is the LOWEST it’s been since June of 2007! All good news and a strong indicator that we are on the rise!
Rockingham County Real Estate Statistics
Rockingham County is looking pretty good too with a 50.6% increase comparing Nov 08 to Nov 09 in residential unit solds. This will be the first time since 2004 that unit sales will end up ahead of the previous year. All good signs.
Prices are down
Prices are still down with Rockingham county year to date showing a 10.9% decrease with a median sales price of $176,000
Rockingham County Absorption Rate
The National Association of REALTORS considers a 6-7 month supply a balanced market and considering that in Jan of 09 Rockingham county had a 20.9 month supply the current figure of 8.4 months is looking mighty fine.
Tax credit waiting for you!
Consider also the tax credit offered to the first time home buyer, some terrific mortgage rates and you have a perfect real estate storm… are you ready?
If so, give us a call as we’d love to help you.

Top 12 Women Real Estate Bloggers
I was recently honored to have been included on the Top 12 Women Real Estate Bloggers 2009 list. To say that I was surprised would be an understatement, I am still in shock over it. I am extremely lucky to have met most of the other woman who have made this years list and feel incredibly honored to be amongst them. It’s an honor I will treasure forever.
This is the 4th annual Sellsius list and Joseph Ferrara from Sellsius decribes this years list on his site this way:
Sellsius’ 4th Annual Top 12 Women Real Estate Bloggers for 2009 were chosen for at least a year of blogging (some have many years), pushing the envelope, using video, and other things of more import, to me– community service, charity, and education– sharing beyond the written word. Many I have met. Others I hope to meet.

NH Home Buyer Questions about Bank Owned Homes
Jay and I often get questions about buying bank owned homes and while there are cautions galore a prudent buyer can take advantage of some fantastic opportunities. Coupled with low prices, great interest rates and a home buyers tax credit makes this the best time to buy in years.
What should I look out for when buying a bank owned home in the winter?
