First Annual NH SkiUp!

by Dan O'Halloran on March 15, 2010

So this past weekend we kicked off the first annual NH SkiUp event at Mount Sunapee.  SkiUp is a spin off of the twitter networking “tweetups” that have been going on across the country. We came up with the idea of a SkiUp because spring skiing absolutely rocks and Sunapee has the perfect slopeside area to tailgate on. We gathered a bunch of awesome local sponsors, negotiated discounted ski passes and discounted lodging and made the event live on the web!

Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the greatest but we still had over 60 amazing SkiUp attendees that made the event a total success. None of this would have been possible without the support of our local sponsors and friends who helped keep everything running smoothly. Please check out this  fantastic companies and people who work hard and play even harder!

February 2010 Sunapee Region Real Estate Sales

by Dan O'Halloran on March 4, 2010

The end of February was certainly interesting. I figured after last year’s ice storm we wouldn’t have another crazy power-outage anytime soon, but here we go again with NH Wind Storm 2010! I ended up losing power for 5 days and still don’t have internet or cable!  On the positive side, we abandoned our house for the weekend and went skiing up at Sugar Loaf. That weekend they got over 59inches of snow!

So much awesome snow!

Sales this past month were down 33.3% since February 2009 with only 10 transactions out of the 16 towns that I track here. On the positive side of things there were 43 properties that went under agreement in March!

Here are some pictures of downed tree and power-line craziness that I captured after the storm.

Chaos!

Had to drive under the tree to get out!

CNN Money- November Sales Leap – Prices still need to fall – I disagree!

December 23, 2009

Here’s an interesting article about the housing market…they think prices will come down more due to the bulk of foreclosures that have yet to hit the market. While this may be true in certain areas around the country, we are fortunate in the Lake Sunapee Region that we have not encountered such a high concentration [...]
