Portsmouth NH Home Buyers - Interest Rates at 3-Year Low!

We've all heard the latest news about the Federal Reserve dropping rates by 75 basis points. And I know there are plenty of home-buyers out there wondering just what that means to them at this point.

We've all heard the latest news about the Federal Reserve dropping rates by 75 basis points. And I know there are plenty of home-buyers out there wondering just what that means to them at this point.


Interest rates are now the lowest they've been in the last three years - how great is that??!!?


Plenty of buyers have been trying to time the market, and that is a VERY difficult thing to do. Are the prices going down more, will the interest rates go down any more - what should I do...these are things we know buyers are thinking right now because we get the phone calls and emails asking just that.

The plain and simple answer is - we just don't know! We can make predictions based on facts and figures from the last few months, and those can indicate trends. But at best, those are educated guesses.


Here's what we can tell you -

  • prices have stabilized over the last few months in the Seacoast NH and Maine towns where they had gone down a little. There are a number of towns here in the Portsmouth NH area where the prices last year actually went up compared to the year before;
  • interest rates are incredibly attractive right now;
  • buyers have choices in homes and condos on the market for sale;
  • sellers are negotiating somewhat, depending on how their home/condo is priced.

So, what does that really mean to you, if you're thinking about buying right now?

Get out there and find yourself the right home or condo for you! Prices may, or may not, remain where they are and interest rates may, or may not, remain where they are. But if you find just the right home or condo for you, that likely won't remain for sale for long as properties that are priced correctly are selling.

The home or condo you find today that you love just may be the home or condo someone else saw a couple days ago that they also loved, and they may just be making a move on it right now because of these great rates.

Hi David - thanks!  And I hope consumers pay heed to the interest rates right now and the buying opportunities that are out there.  No one's selling houses at 50 cents on the dollar in my areas, but there are some nice buys being made.
