Is the real estate market heating up along Lake Winnipesaukee?<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cCould the era of numerous big dollar waterfront sales be returning?\u201d\u00a0That’s the question Roy Sanborn, a realtor in Meredith, NH, posed in a column on Saturday in the Laconia Daily Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to data compiled for the month of April from the\u00a0Northern New England Real Estate MLS System, the average sales price of a home on Lake Winnepesaukee \u2014 $2.15-million \u2014 was more than double the average sales price last April.<\/p>\n

Paula Hinckley of Lady of the Lake Realty<\/a> in Sanbornton says her experience selling waterfront homes confirms Sanborn’s observation. \u201cIn years past there would be heavy negotiations,\u201d Hinckley says, and buyers would get 20 percent off the asking price. Now, \u201cthose deep discounts are not happening.\u201d Today, she says, negotiations are more often within five percent of the asking price.<\/p>\n
