N.H. Market Trend Report…The future isn’t what it used to be

The New Hampshire Association of REALTORS released their market trend report written by Peter Francese, as usual Peter make us really think about the future of New Hampshire’s real estate market. Most REALTORS we’ve been talking to report an increase in activity, not a lot but an increase. June traditionally is a slow month with graduations and vacations but our personal Internet hits are up and we have customers out looking at homes.

That famous Yogi Berra quote pretty much sums up the situation. Who could have imagined a year or two ago the price of gas and heating oil rising above four dollars a gallon? Unless something is done to bring down fuel costs, housing throughout this region will become less affordable to the young people we need to assure our future economic growth.

To secure our future, we must know more about the buyers of residential real estate in NH.

Speaking of economic growth: Our economy is not exactly in the pink of health. The New England Economic Partnership recently held its spring meeting in Boston, and Dennis Delay (their New Hampshire economic forecaster) discussed the present and future economic outlook for our state.

Summer in NH…waterfront living

I love summer in NH. I love our rocky coastline and our wonderful lakes. Awhile back we started a blog for our waterfront listings and it has morphed into a site that covers not only some NH waterfront listings but also some NH Lakes and Pond information. If you haven’t stopped by…check it out here http://nhwaterfronthomesforsale.com/ It’s still a work in progress but we’d love your suggestions and or opinions.

Updated Home Search ability

We’ve updated and improved our Search New Hampshire Homes tab located on the top of this blog. Now you can have a “Saved Search Portfolio” that allows you to build a portfolio of listings. You can also instantly share your favorite listings with friends and family with just one simple click. We realize that you’re busy and may not have the time for detailed searching so now you can simply put in the criteria that you’re looking for (price range, town, size, number of beds/baths etc) and just get email alerts with the homes that fit your criteria!

If you don’t want to “sign in and create a folder” you can still search the entire state wide listings of NH homes for sale…Vermont and Maine too.

Our Pledge to you remains the same…

We will not hound you/bug you or call you repeatedly

We will not sell your information or share it in anyway

Our goal has always been to give you the opportunity to get to know us personally as well as professionally so that maybe, when you’re ready to look/buy or sell real estate-you’ll think of us.

We love referrals, they’re safe with us! You can’t imagine the honor we feel when someone trusts us with their family or friends. It would be our pleasure…

Jay and I went to the beach yesterday to take a peek at the Sand Sculptures. They were not yet finished but even so it was just amazing to see the talent! I loved the Tim Russet Tribute!
I hope you enjoy the show we put together but if you get a chance to get to the beach, do it… they are so much better in person!
Enjoy!

Rye NH…an adventure with a Swan

When Jay and I left this morning the sun was shining and it was just gorgeous out. We headed to the beach to check out the sand sculptures on our way to Portsmouth to have lunch with fellow Blogger Ann Cummings and her family. The weather often changes on a dime and today it would not disappoint. While driving up the coast a thick fog bank came in and covered everything. Then we saw a huge Swan by the side of the road…it was magical. I had to film it, the Swan, the fog, a swamp, lily pads and ducks.
