Eastman Real Estate Blog

Here is a quick overview of pricing and cost per square foot in Eastman NH from 01/01/2010 through 04/19/2010.

A little over three and half months of 2010 have passed and we have had 14 home sales. (Compared to last year that is a huge number). One of the homes sold was a completed shell of a home, that locals know, is on the corner of Cove Dr and Old Spring. Since that house was unfinished I took that out of this calculation. That leaves thirteen homes that had an average cost per square foot of $147.70

This is significantly above the New Hampshire state average of $122.63 (as of 3/31/10) and shows that there is value in Eastman Community that buyers are willing to pay for.

Here’s another stat that shows value. The median selling price for properties in New Hampshire for the month of March 2010 was $179,900. In Eastman the median price, year to date is $219,499. Again I think this shows home value that buyers sometimes question. I’ve often been asked, why homes are so “cheap” or “inexpensive” in Eastman. Well, compared to some areas there is cost and value differences that makes Eastman list prices look like bargain pricing particularly when you compare to values out of state like Massachusetts and Connecticut. Comparing Eastman to the entire New Hampshire Real Estate market Eastman holds it’s.

This is a very interesting article that was in U.S. News & World Report. It’s short and to the point and very positive. No one has a crystal ball, please read and post some comments. I like to read what you have to say and think.

The Future Of Home Prices

It’s early spring and snow has been falling, the golf course was supposed to open but weather conditions did not allow.

Are you Looking For Things To Do? Some of the coming highlights: The wine tasting dinner on April 29th and the Chowda Suppa on April 25th. There is always something to do even in the rain. You just have to look a little harder this time of year.

Normally you can see Big Lake Sunapee from this location. On this morning the clouds were right on the water and made for an outstanding photo, not to mention being there.

It is a rare occurrence and it’s a time like this you just have to stop and enjoy.

It appears that spring has truly sprung quite a bit early this year. I’m always skeptical when we get a few warm days in March as most times it is just a tease and we get some more cold air or even a late winter storm.

Even if it does snow most people don’t seem to mind as winters end is near and we know the snow won’t stick around for very long.

All the local lakes have iced out, the earliest in years even decades! I went to the club house for dinner last night and I notice the distance markers on the driving range were out. Usually they don’t go out until things get really dry. The golf course is on schedule to open on April 17th with all the greens open too! That is just amazing!

Tennis playing should be starting soon and I’ve hear from a great source that kids have been swimming in the lake already.The source was one of my best friends and he and his kids were the one’s swimming and I do not doubt that they did.

Time now for me to close up the office and get outside. It is going to be a busy week so I need to get some sunshine while I can.
