Just got back from a week at Lake Coeur d'Alene ID and I'd say lake front properties are 15 - 20% higher there. It's a beautiful area but I'd take Lake Winni any day!!

OK, so the place directly accross the street from me on Lake waukewan, an A frame built in the 60's, just went on the market for 1.5 million. The lady bought it last June for 550K and completely remodeled it, but it's still an A frame. I'm guessing she put 400K into it. I know when she first bought it she was getting estimates around 300K but 6 months in she told me the price jumped considerably. It was completely gutted and a new 3 bedroom septic installed. This market just keeps getting crazier!

I just read an article on Idaho that said there was a big influx of remote workers from California moving in making property prices sky rocket so it won't be long before property taxes follow suit.

True but unlike places like Denver or Salt Lake City which also have experienced the same kind of growth, Idaho lacks industry outside of agriculture and mining. So once those remote jobs disappear folks are going to be holding very expensive property and a local economy that can’t support the rising costs - it will have to adjust just like everywhere else. I mean the average income in Boise is 31k a year where average houses are fetching well into the 400s something has to give.

Another fishing expedition?
So new listing just up, 46 Rum Point Rd, Alton. Asking $3M for 2 bed, 1 bath, 1100 sq. ft.
Has that feel of another cash grab while the market is hot...but maybe I'm missing something about the property's appeal, I don't know Alton bay super well. Any predictions on this one, mswlogo? |

A large lot with a grandfathered footprint and 800 ft of waterfront on a point. That one is all about the lot.

I was talking to a realtor last weekend and he said the market has started to show signs of peaking. He said people are still over pricing but buyers aren't over bidding anymore. He also said in all his years of selling property in the lakes region he has never seen so many cash sales.
I know a few places in my neighborhood that sold below asking but their asking prices were astronomically high to begin with. |

Stock Market?
In 2017, the DJIA was starting at ~17000. It is now almost at 36000. So it drops 15% to 26000. Temporarily. We're all still way ahead. People will likely still be fleeing NY,NJ, CT. Waterfront will still be valuable. Buy whatever you can on the smaller lakes now. Comparatively, Ossipee and Newfound are probably cheap.

Housing actually leads the market.
It only seems the other way around because real estate is not valued minute to minute through the weekday. As stated housing is very effected by location... so some will see softening prices long before others. And different sections of the housing market will act differently throughout the cycle. |

What's happening is because of extremely low interest rates and the run up in the stock market people are taking money out of their primary residences and buying second homes in cash at an alarming rate.
When we have a recession, and we will have one again, what will people do to save their primary residence from foreclosure if they can't keep up the payments? Do they sell their primary residence which could have a bigger mortgage than the sale would bring in or do they sell their second home with no mortgage for less than what they paid for it? In past recessions vacation area's got hit the hardest and recovered the slowest but we are in a place where we've never been before in our economy so it will be interesting to see how this plays out. |

Another thing to add to the unique situation is since the 2008 real estate crash is a lot of builders got out or went bankrupt. So there is a shortage of housing in general. It’s pretty hot in lots of places besides vacation areas. The low supply is a big part of rising prices. A lot depends on “Pandemic 2.0”, and right now that’s not looking good at all. I think a normal recession would not be so bad. But we could see the worst economic crisis ever a year from now if we see another COVID winter like the last. I think there is a 50-50 chance of that happening. |

I think it is more likely people still try to unload their second homes to try and save their primary home. When that happens inventory sky rockets, no one can afford to buy, and prices fall. Just how far they fall depends on the length of the down turn and how long people can hold on. |

Not sure that there are a lot of 35 year old people taking money out of their primary home to buy a second home - maybe pulling money from their retirement accounts.

My wife and I are fairly successful 37 and 36 year olds w three kids and I wouldn't have even close to enough money to pull out of my primary home to purchase a house on the lake haha! As a matter of fact it could be 100% paid off and I still would only be purchasing one of the vacant lots on Rattlesnake right now...
Now if I wasn't paying full time day care for three kids maybe I'd have a shot! |

"Adequate info"
If you're buying, selling, financing real estate (or your boat) based on info on this Forum, you need to re-think your plans. Talk to YOUR OWN CPA, and investment advisor. If you have only ONE, you are probably under-advised. At the same time, you need some self-education so you're not paying these folks 1% each for overlapping advice. And note that Fisher investments and similar, who has a lot of convincing commercials, charges twice what you pay to many brokers who offer many more services through related banks.

There are still modest affordable vacation homes in the mountains and around the smaller lakes of NH. Each family has to buy to their level of ability. I know of a couple around your age with 3 small kids that just bought a 2br camp with beach rights on lake Ossipee with cash from their the refi of their primary residence.

And we could all speculate on whether they’ll be a recession or a large correction and the prices of real estate will plummet none of us knows for sure and as we seen recently the government and businesses alike including banks will do everything they can to try to avoid going into an extended term recession.

A "Cash" offer does NOT mean the buyer has the cash sitting in their checking account. All it means they are willing to write the contract with no contingency for a bank loan approval. With high demand it was often a necessity if you wanted a property to make a "cash" offer. I've done "cash" offers with every intention of getting a loan and I was confident I'd qualify for the loan and had more than enough down payment that would cover a low appraisel. In the past you could save money making a "cash" offer because that was a more secure offer to the seller than a higher financed offer. Although some sellers now demand that you have "proof of funds". But that does not mean you have to use those funds you used as proof. You could show them your retirement account and then go get a loan. So nobody knows how all these homes were actually financed. Only what was written on the contract, which is totally irrelevant. But I will say, there are a lot of people with a lot of cash. I've "financed" every way imaginable Including have a bank loan approval on the contract when I intended to pay cash. The only thing really required is you show up with a check on closing day. Where the money comes from and what was on the contract could be any thing. My guess is 1/3 of the "cash" purchases were true cash purchases. They could have sold another property (possible with a bridge loan), refinance another property or did a standard mortgage. My guess is they surely had hefty down payments on hand though. Also with the Septic Assessment requirement for water front, you can walk away from any contract if you just don't like the assessment. Most buyers don't know that though. So there is little risk in making a cash offer initially. And the assessment is technically not due until closing !! For our last purchase I had money from a sale (that had no mortgage), but not enough to cover the new home. But I made cash offers well over what I had in cash. We had a good sized equity loan on our primary with no balance (great advice someone once gave me). So I just used that. But the seller demanded showing we had the cash so I showed them our IRA, which I never used. It's all fun and games. |

When I said people are taking money out of their primary homes to buy vacation homes in cash it doesn't mean that all the money is coming from there but people have been tapping their home equity to the max because of these low rates that we may never see again. Many people are in debt to the max with the rates this low. Is it wise, only time will tell. I'm just happy I don't have to worry about debt any more. I do have to admit though, that if I was younger I would be taking advantage of these low rates also because they will only go up from here. |

Maybe this has already been mentioned in this thread, according to www.zillow.com this 105 Hauser Estates Rd, 1.66-acres with 200 feet waterfront, $3,995,000-asking price in Moultonborough was sold on April 23, 2021 for three million dollars. Was maybe listed in November, 2020?
Does Hauser Estates Rd get snow plowed by the town? Does it get town trash pick-up? Is there town water and sewer service? Is there internet/tv service available? How long a drive to the Market Basket and Walmart in Pymouth, NH? ...... 25-miles and 41-minutes drive ......probably driving Rt 25-B in Center Harbor and Rt 175 in Holderness/Ashland to get to Plymouth. One thing is for sure about MoultonboroUGH .......MoultonboroUGH is a looooong waaaaaay from everywhere ....... is why MoultonboroUGH is spelled with an UGH! You ever notice that there's no UGH in Tuftonboro or Wolfeboro ...... so, why is that!

But as far as Water and Sewerage. I prefer a Well and Septic. Towns rip you off on that service. I have Septic in MA with a sewer line going right by. It would cost a fortune just for the permit, never mind the actual work. And once hooked up they double your water bill. |

Why saddle oneself with rust stains, chemical shocking, Radon and arsenic content, when especially good water is available with minimal treatment? (If any). I don't expect Town Sewerage to be available in our lifetimes, but they can't double your lakewater bill. (Though I expect they'll find a way). |

You do not have a choice on sewer hook-up. It is at the discretion of the municipality under a waiver.

Most communities will give you an initial hook up deal, special price and let you pay it over time interest free. I doubt they would force you to hook up unless your septic wasn't up to snuff, which would be on you to prove. So if you have an old system it would wise for you to hook up. I some cases it will make your property more valuable. If you only have a 2 bedroom septic system and you hook up to a sewer system now when you go to sell that restriction is lifted.
If you don't take the initial deal and you want to hook up at a later date then you're going to pay though the nose. |

I have a gareden and lawn I water back in MA with a fairly good size water bill and most of it is not going down the drain. But sewer would double the bill. I think it would cost $10k or more just to be allowed to hook up. Price keeps going up. And then $10-20k to actually hook in. So it could cost $20-$40k and double my water bill. Vs $200 to pump every few years. You are not required to hook up. Probably if building new or septic needed replacement yes. But they don’t force you to disconnect from a working septic. I doubt any town does that. But possibly in very problematic area they do. |

The ''deal'' is usually based on the road to lay the pipes and the equipment to dig, etc is already there. If you do it later, you entail the entire cost.
If you read the attachment, you will find that we amended the statutes about thirty years ago, and further corrected about twenty-five years ago, to allow for the waiver. A building with a ''new'' septic system would be waived if not in a critical environmental area. They would not be forced to hook-up until the waived system failed and needed replacement or major repair. At that time, the hook-up would cost about as much as the replacement/repair. |

If they allowed hook up for free and the town itself could hook in for a good price I might do it. Say if total was under $10k I probably would. But the early “incentive” is now working against them. My system was installed in the 70’s. It’s only my wife and I on a 3 bedroom system for the last 20 years. |

Our well systems generally put out iron (staining) and calcium (water spots)... hard water... but some location have organic matter and can experience soft water conditions that need to be resolved. Simple test kits exist for each. We can get doses of arsenic or leaching of various distillate derivatives, but that is rather rare. Radon is generally only a situation with an artisan well, as the granite can embedded the water with it... but other than on the map (https://www.dhhs.nh.gov/dphs/radon/d...don-map-nh.pdf) would be rare... with odds increasing on whether the home is really tight (low air exchange) and has a basement/cellar or a crawl space. It would be doubtful to be able to purchase a home in a low density area, not on a water body, that had the option of municipal water and sewer. |

A lot of it will depend on the sewage plants down the line.
Waukewan and Winona, along with smaller tributaries, are part of a watershed protection area... so they are very careful. |

PH is great, Hardness is great and the Iron is all undissolved Iron (a lot easier to remove). I currently have a 1 micron sediment (removes most of the iron takes it from 3 ppm to about 0.3 ppm), Pentair Iron Filter (brings iron to 0 ppm good for 80K gallons), Pentair 0.5 Micro Carbon for the whole house (all 4.5" x 20" big mothers). And a Water Drop 0.01 Micron Carbon combo at the Kitchen sink for cooking and drinking. Oh and I had to swap my anode in the hot water heater from a passive rod to an "active" one, otherwise hot water smelled like rotten eggs. Very common issue with well water. In MA I have a 1 micron sediment filter for whole house and just the Water Drop 0.01 micro under the kitchen sink in MA on town water. No Reverse Osmosis, No Softener and no UV needed. |

New lake house is not septic limited but is 0.4 miles in on a private dirt road. As much as I hate the dirt road at times, I would miss the campy / non residential feeling the dirt road gives. |

Municipal water treatment.
Homeowners in general, to my knowledge, have never gone that far. I think I have only ever sold one RO undercounter system for drinking water. |

We have RO in both homes--it is excellent. But I am not surprised you have sold only one. RO is very expensive compared to other filters (but very cheap compared to Poland Springs!)

Many people that are ''political'' seem to think that our local municipalities use the old tech of the places they come from. And the second would be you... homeowners general do not go that route. When people state direct from the lake is best, they don't realize that the municipalities draw from the lakes and then ''treat'' the water even further removing impurities. Municipal systems also have very stringent testing protocols, while as a well user... mine has only been tested three times in the last 24 years. |
