At HOME in Rye New Hampshire

At HOME in Rye NH
Rye New Hampshire is a beautiful scenic small town located right on the coast of NH. We have the smallest coastline in the country, and it’s just beautiful! Our small 17 mile long coastline is just as most picture New England’s coast – some rocky coastal areas and some beautiful sand stretches of beach.
Our coastline offers some wonderful scenery and beautiful peaceful settings along the coastal route of Route 1-A, which follows the ocean. You’ll find great fishing spots, as well as whale-watching trips and deep-sea fishing cruises, all from Rye Harbor.
The drive along Route 1-A, Ocean Boulevard, is so tranquil, it can really soothe your soul. It’s one of my favorite drives, and is a favorite of most locals.
There are some truly stunning Rye homes along this drive, most were built as summer homes in the Victorian times. Today, many of these Rye NH homes are now used as year-round residences.
Rye NH became the summer playground for the rich and famous during the early 1900’s for many years. Many of the local residents today can trace their roots many generations back to the early settlers of Rye.
Students in Rye attend Rye Elementary School and Rye Junior High School, and then go on to Portsmouth High School, as part of the School Administrative Unit #50. Rye Elementary covers pre-school through 5th grade, and Rye Junior High covers 6th grade through 8th grade. The Rye PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) is very active, holding monthly meetings as the Rye Library during the school year. They take to heart the Rye School System’s slogan of “every child – one voice”.
Rye NH is in a great location – right along the Atlantic Ocean, less than an hour’s drive south into Boston, and an hour north to Portland Maine. Manchester NH and Manchester Airport is a 45 minute drive west, and loads of winter activities can be found within less than a 2 hour drive from Rye. Portsmouth NH is the next town over, just a short few minutes drive away.
These pictures show a sampling of the beautiful homes in Rye NH:
Come for a visit and you’ll soon find you’ll want to make this area YOUR HOME – you can then be AT HOME IN RYE NEW HAMPSHIRE!!
The beauty of this area just makes selling homes in the Seacoast areas of New Hampshire and southern Maine such a pleasure!

New Castle, Rye, North Hampton – New Hampshire Real Estate Market Updates – Sept 2008

Rye, New Castle, North Hampton – Real Estate Market Report Updates
for Sept 2008
The
Seacoast areas of New Hampshire are really some of the
prettiest towns you could want to live in. And the towns of
Rye, Newcastle, and North
Hampton are no exception to that statement. Our coastline here in NH
is the smallest in America, and
it’s also among the most scenic as well. Those of us who live here just love
it, however small it is!
Real estate in this area always has a constant demand
because of our location, and not just because we’re along the Atlantic Ocean.
We are within an easy driving distance to Boston, Portland Maine, and Manchester NH -
all less than an hour to get to. The NH mountains for skiing and
beautiful scenery are just an easy drive as well. We have loads of great
dining, shopping, golfing, scenic rides, and so much more that just all come
together to make this area a wonderful place to call HOME!!
Here are the real estate updates for the month of September
2008:
- – We currently have 18 homes for sale in
Newcastle, with an average asking price of
$1,318,444, and an average days on the market of 265 days. - – During September, 1 home went under agreement/sale pending, and
that home had an asking price of $1,050,000. It had been on the
market 166 days. - – September brought just 1 closed sale/sold, and that house sold
for $1,082,357. The asking price on that house had been $1,190,000,
and it took 738 days to sell that house.
- – We currently have 68 homes for sale in Rye NH,
with an average asking price of $1,214,247, and the average days on
the market is 190 days. - – The month of September saw 5 homes go under agreement/sale
pending, and the average asking price of those homes was $701,580,
with the average days on the market of 93 days. - – There were 9 homes sold in Rye in September,
and the average selling price of those homes was $739,621, while the
average asking price of those homes was $778,722. The average days on
the market before selling was 180 days.
- – We currently have 64 homes for sale in North Hampton
NH, with the average asking price being $773,177. The
average days on the market is 203 days. - – One home went under agreement/sale pending, and the asking
price of that home was $292,500. The days on the market for that home was
94 days. - – We had 2 homes sold in North Hampton in
September, and the average selling price of those homes was $300,000.
The average asking price was $321,250, and the average days on the
market was 98 days.
Whilethose numbers certanly aren’t great, they are showing us that it’s a great time to be a home buyer in this area. With real estate moving a little slower of late, and plenty of homes on the market, buyers have choices and they have some excellent negotiating oportunities in this market.
What does all this mean for sellers in these areas? It means if you want to sell your home, you need to price it aggressively and have it in the best condition you can get it in. Buyers have a lot of choices in some of our Seacoast towns, and you want to do everything you can to make your home their choice. And you must start with the price. If you price your home too high for the market, you may as well just not bother putting it on the market at all.
This market is ruled by price, and if your home isn’t perceived to be a good value before buyers look at your home, you’ll never get a chance for them to see what it really looks like. They just move on to another property that they do perceive to be priced realistically for the area and the market.
