October 2009 Sunapee Region Real Estate Sales

by Dan O'Halloran on November 3, 2009

It seems like this October just flew by! We have had one of the better Fall’s in a long time…no early frost to ruin the beautiful colors. With the holidays just around the corner we are entering the “slow period” up here. Typically real estate activity becomes less intense from November until after Christmas then we get some good ski season traffic.  Home sales this past month were down 25.5% compared to October ‘08 sales.

I’ve been getting pretty excited about the upcoming ski and season and just checked out Mount Sunapee’s website–they have officially switched over to their “winter” version of the site!  The season is fast upon us so I thought I’d share this cool video of a few guys doing some crazy jumps at the Mount Sunapee Terrain Park.

Tax Credit Extension??! Not just 1st time buyers!

by Dan O'Halloran on October 31, 2009

So it’s not official yet but it looks like there’s a good chance the tax credit will be extended.  Below is what’s currently proposed.

Source from CNN Money:

The latest idea under discussion is a credit worth up to $8,000 for first-time homebuyers and up to $6,500 for homeowners looking to trade up to a bigger primary residence and who have already lived in their current home for five years. (CNN: Senate compromise may be in the works.)

To qualify for the full credit, however, homebuyers must have adjusted gross income of less than $125,000 ($225,000 for married couples filing jointly).

In addition, the credit would only apply to homes sold for $800,000 or less. Contracts to buy a home must be signed by April 30, 2010, and the deals must close by June 30 in order for a buyer to qualify for the credit.
