Timing: The Key to Finding Your Dream NH Home

Home buyers have many concerns and hesitations when deciding to purchase a property. (Not surprising when you consider that a home purchase is, for many people, the largest single investment they'll ever make.)

Among the apprehensions are:

  • Have I looked long enough to understand the local market and the range of housing options available?
  • Could there be another, even better listing on the market, perhaps at a better price?
  • Will an upcoming listing be more appealing?
  • Should I wait and see what else might come along, or should I go for it?


The Internet is a great tool to quickly get you up to speed about the local market. Also, ask your agent to provide you with a list of similar listings that sold within the last six months or one year. (This will help you determine how often listings like the one you're considering become available and whether you should move forward quickly with an offer.)

Be sure to get pre-approved, so you know exactly how much house you can afford.

Don't pass up a good listing because you don't think you know enough to make an informed decision. Do your homework and be ready to act when you see your dream home.
