Housing prices not bouncing back here as fast as in most of country By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA – The good news is the stock of available houses for sale in Central New Hampshire is dropping; the not-so-good news is that while more houses are being sold the median selling
BELMONT — A two-car head-on collision at 7:12 a.m. Thursday on Route 106 sent two local residents by ambulance to hospitals. Cherie Shaw, 27, of Gilford was transported by ambulance to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medial Center in Lebanon with serious injuries and Aaron Downing, 28, of Belmont was taken to LRGH with minor injuries. Because of the weather, the DHART helicopter see WrECK page 15
price is not rising. Roy Sanborn of Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty and a regular Daily Sun columnist said a good number of sales in the Lakes Region are in the low range, bringing down the median price.
“The nicer, high-end stuff is still waiting for buyers,” Sanborn said. As of June 1, Lakes Region current inventory levels, said Sanborn, represent a 15-month supply of houses with 1,190 homes for sales. On June 1, 2012,
there was an 18.5-month supply of available homes for sale. As the number of available units shrinks typically the price of the remaining units rises. However the average asking price as of June 1 was $493,820 see HOUSiNG page 9

The Laconia Department of Public Works (DPW) staged this photo for The Daily Sun on Thursday in order to dramatize what will and will not be acceptable with the start of a new mandatory recycling program on Monday morning. Residents who are used to placing trash enclosed only in plastic bags at the curb must realize that is no longer acceptable. All general trash must be placed in hard containers like those on the right. The first in line is a 30-gallon container and the second will hold 45 gallons. Any size is acceptable as long as the total in any given week does not exceed 60 gallons. The two containers on the far right are for recyclables. The green bin like the one on top is available free of charge from DPW. The larger container below will hold 64 gallons and is available for purchase at DPW headquarters of Bisson Ave. for $25.
