People seem to be interested in “keeping it simple” and wanting to stay closer to home instead of traveling to far away resorts. A weekend getaway to the Sunapee Lake region might just be your ticket! If you are looking for a cozy cottage or bungalow there are some for sale right now. Perhaps you enjoy entertaining and will need a large waterfront home with many bedrooms for your guests; this type of property is also available. As the old saying goes, “…they just are not making ‘more water front…” Water front properties in the Sunapee region has always been a good investment in spite of economic situations.
Recently I had a client ask me “What is the average days on the market (DOM) for waterfront property on the Sunapee Lake?” My answer was it’s really hard to come up with that exact number because some people take their property off the market during the winter months. This could be because they winterize the property because they will not be using the house during the winter months and choose not to plow the driveways, making access near impossible without snowshoes! They will wait for spring to relist their property. The fact that the snow just melted and we just had eleven waterfront properties come on the market in April alone validates this. (none of these new listings are foreclosures). [click to continue…]
The snow has melted and there is open water on the lake! You can almost hear the sigh from the people around the lake. Around the lake, the sign of spring is not the robins returning, but the boat covers coming off the boats! Of course, if you’re a kayaker the water is already waiting for you!
