New Listing in Wilmot!

202 Village Road, Wilmot, NH 03287 | Offered at $662,500 | MLS# 5006464

It’s only a short walk (on the “famous” 3-mile loop) to the local beach on Tannery Pond from this 4-bedroom, 4-bath expanded cape. Rich in history and thoughtfully updated, the various additions since its beginnings in the late 1700’s have added to the home’s unique character and charm. The rambling first floor features the primary bedroom and private bath, the dining room adjacent to the kitchen/family area with propane fireplace, laundry room and pantry, a family/movie room, and an office set away from the general busyness of the house. Above the primary bedroom are two bedrooms and a full bath. Above the movie room is another bedroom with a private bath. Lastly, over the garage is a light and bright workout room and another office. While the home has a great variety of comfortable living spaces to meet practically every need, the outside adds another dimension of enjoyment. The backyard has great space for relaxation, games, and enjoying family and friends. There is a patio, a natural stone pit, outdoor Bluetooth surround system, and a private hot tub. A special addition to the backyard is a wonderful kid-sized playhouse with power and a second floor. For pet safety, there is electric dog fencing around the entire property. With a location minutes to both New London and Andover, and Mt. Kearsarge nearby, this home will have a broad appeal.

How to Declutter in Anticipation of Listing Your Home

When you're thinking about selling your home, decluttering is a great first step! Here are some ways to make the process easier.

1. Come Up with a Timeframe
Once you know when you want to sell your house creating an attainable timeframe is key. That way it is more manageable to tackle the decluttering process. Once you know your timeframe for selling it'll make breaking up the process easier, whether you have weeks or months before listing.

2. Break Up the Process
Depending on your timeframe come up with a goal for decluttering. Whether it is one item each day or one area at a time. Maybe breaking up the process by category would work best for you, such as clothing, kitchenware, holiday decorations, etc. By making the main goal into small attainable projects, it will make the overall process a lot easier to overcome!

3. Write a List
A great way to help keep your decluttering goal on task is to write a checklist. It's so fulfilling to check off an item!

4. This is Still Your Home
While decluttering is great, don't declutter just to declutter. Your home does not need to look perfect in order to sell, but organizing and staging your home will help potential buyers imagine themselves in the space. Plus, it will make the photographs of your home look even better!

5. Is this a Job for Me or the Professionals?
If you have no idea where to start or feel overwhelmed by the process, hiring professionals might be your best option! There are great companies that can show you how to organize and declutter your space by teaching tricks that will help you in the future.

6. What to do After You Declutter
While you are decluttering it would be a good idea to create different piles or bins for every item you no longer need. Instead of throwing everything in the trash, make a donation, sell, or gift piles, that way your no-longer-needed items can go on to another home.

Do Elections Affect the Housing Market?

With the Presidential election just months away, you might be thinking it would be better to wait to buy or sell until after November. I’ve heard some experts say an election year is good for the housing market and others say it negatively impacts it. The reality is the housing market is influenced by many factors including supply and demand, housing starts, unemployment, and interest rates. It is not dependent on who is running or who wins. “Historically, the housing market doesn’t tend to look very different in presidential election years compared to other years,” says Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist at Bright MLS. Home prices tend to rise year over year and the latest data from NAR shows after seven of the last eight Presidential elections, home prices increased the following year. An election year doesn’t alter the price trend that is already happening in the market. Presidential candidates often stress their economic plans, but economists generally agree that presidents have little to no influence over a market as broad as the U.S. housing sector. Bottom line, if you’re considering buying or selling, there’s essentially no reason to let an election year change your plans.
