How did we pick these 10 bargains?
We pulled every house for sale in Haverhill MA, Amesbury MA and Salem NH on October 24. We kept the ones still open to offers, with at least 3 bedrooms and no condo fee.
Then we compared each home's price per square foot to the middle of its town. The best values made the list, up to four per town. We skipped any listing that said it needs major work or cash only.
Should you buy in Massachusetts or New Hampshire?
It depends on your whole monthly cost. New Hampshire has no broad income tax on wages. Its property tax rates often run higher.
Salem NH sits right over the line from Haverhill MA and Methuen MA. Our MA vs NH comparison lays out the tradeoffs.
Can you offer less than the price the seller is asking?
Sometimes, and it's worth asking. Most buyers wait for a price drop. That wait can cost you the home.
Here's what I do. I look at how long similar homes take to sell. A week before a home hits that point, I ask one question. Is the seller open to a lower price? A calm ask saves my buyers real money.
