So, what's a double-dip anyway? Is it two scoops of ice cream on a waffle cone like what you can get at the famous Weirs Beach Kellerhaus every Wednesday for just 1.09? Is it a sledding hill like what used to be used at the Laconia Country Club where the hill would go downhill, then level out a bit, and then go downhill again? Yeh...that sounds right except what the double-dip that's been in the news lately refers to is the selling prices for residential homes......ok!
So, anyone seen any signs of the double-dip in the lakes regions? Do all those homes for sale with 'Reduced,' or 'Newly Priced' or with 'For Sale By Owner,' or just with "For Sale" signs that have been up for two years in the same spot.......are these all the signs of the double-dip?
Where-o-where is the double-dip? Inquiring minds want to know? Has anybody seen the double-dip around these here parts in the lakes region, and will 2011 become the year of the double-dip? Most likely, no one will really know it was a double-dip until it has gone past by, and some smart real estate writer in the LaDaSun talks about it from the perspective of two years after the double-dip has past us by. Like for example.....you all just remember that 2011 double-dip of two years ago......homes were stuck at a price where no one would buy them......sellers would not go lower.....buyers would not go higher......el nothing was happening.....after all, unless a buyer is paying with cash and not a mortgage....then a house can only be worth what a bank or mortgage company is willing to loan out on its' purchase. But not to worry, now that the double-dip is past history, your home will once again go up in value.......at least up in assessed value as determined by your town anyway......so not to worry!
And, sad to say, even at the famous Kellerhaus, that double-dip ice cream that sounded so good for just 1.09 on every Wednesday......guess what......the double-dip will cost you 2.18.....you can only get a single scoop for 1.09...... even at The Kellerhaus.....but boy-o-boy is it ever good ice cream.....and they have this tall athletic young lady working there who scoops the ice cream out from the big containers down in the freezer and she has a Russian-Romanian style accent and looks like she could be Vera Zvonareva's sister, the Russian tennis player........"yes darling, how will that be?"..........too bad....no double-dip at that price but yes, a single dip and definately worth it for 1.09!
So what's the latest with the double-dip?
And oh yeah, what's the latest on 35 Leaward Shores Rd since first starting this thread back in February, about ten months ago?
