Heating oil in New Hampshire is up about $2.59 a gallon from a year ago, so lower bills are on a lot of minds around the Lakes Region. But an upgrade can also pay back in comfort or at sale time, and those don't arrive on the same schedule.

Before you spend, ask what you want the work to do, then judge it by what you pay after incentives. My latest post walks through it.

A quarter mile from a sandy Lake Kanasatka beach, and now $550,000.

19 Vonhurst Road in Moultonborough is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape on 1.66 private acres. Start the morning on the farmer's porch, then stroll down to the water through private association beach access. When the snow arrives, the wood stove and pellet stove keep things cozy, and a standby generator (installed 2024) keeps the lights on.

Two levels of back decks, a firepit, a blueberry patch, and a two-car garage with parking for the boat and kayaks round it out. Castle in the Clouds and the Lakes Region's mountains are minutes away.

Reduced your price and still received a low offer? It is frustrating, and the decision is yours. An offer is the start of a conversation. You can accept, decline, or counter, and a counter can include price, timing, or concessions. Look at the whole offer, not just the number, and check what comparable homes in your town are actually selling for. Want a second set of eyes on an offer? Message me.

Most owners weighing "sell it or rent it out" start with two numbers: what the house would sell for, and what it would rent for. Those two numbers do not answer the question.

What matters is what each path nets you over the years you would hold it. Selling: the proceeds after commission, closing costs, and repairs, and then what that equity does next. Renting: the mortgage plus property taxes, insurance, a maintenance reserve, a vacancy allowance, and management fees if you will not handle it yourself.

For reference, over the last 12 months average rents across Belknap and Carroll County have run about $1,477 (1-bedroom), $2,098 (2-bedroom), and $2,659 (3+ bedroom), per PrimeMLS.

When people move, there is usually an assumption built in: you sell the house you are leaving and put the money toward the next one. More Lakes Region owners are pausing on that and asking a second question: should I sell it at all, or keep it and rent it out? This month's article walks through both paths with Belknap and Carroll County numbers: what each one nets you, what changes the day you become a landlord, and when selling is the better call.

Moving doesn't have to mean selling. If you're leaving a home in the Lakes Region, you can keep it and rent it out, but it makes you a landlord and can start a tax clock worth reviewing with a tax professional. This month's article walks through both paths with Belknap and Carroll County numbers.
