Chester NH ~ Scarecrows galore! 2010

Chester NH ~ Scarecrows galore 2010

Driving through Chester the other day I noticed some pretty interesting looking yard decorations. Chester residents and businesses, especially those along the main roads always seem to go all out with holiday decorations. They have an annual Holiday door contest and now for the first time they are having a Scarecrow Contest to benefit the Chester Historical Society. I couldn’t help but to stop and snap a few pictures but I’m sure I missed a few…so if you’re a Chester resident or business owner that I missed I would love it if you sent me  a picture of you’re scarecrow to add here. You can e-mail that to Photo@NHViewfinders

NH Holiday Home Selling tips…

Thinking of selling your Southern New Hampshire home during the holidays?

In this market we all know a home needs to be “prepared” to sell or “staged” to sell as some would call it. It is especially important during the Holidays.

We all love our special holiday decorations but when your home is on the market it’s time to keep some of them packed away. It’s hard to “live in” a home while it is on the market and to keep that home feeling like it is still your home.  But, as attached as we are remember that “less is better” when it comes to decorations, family knickknacks and yes even family pictures.

It’s important that the potential buyers can imagine themselves in your home and if your home is heavily decorated and full of all “your” stuff it sometimes inhibits the buyers and makes it hard for them to get beyond your stuff to the point where they can picture their stuff in it’s place.

We want to help them mentally move in!

Curb appeal is crucial both at the curbside and on the Internet …how your home is packaged makes all the difference. We can get potential buyers to your home but once there your home needs to capture them. Your home needs to “pop” and touch the buyer.

A well staged home…either professionally or with the use of some common tips can make a big difference in the marketability of your home. This video is just the first step. Give us a call if you’re considering listing your southern New Hampshire home for sale. We can assist you in pricing and in making sure your home is ready for the market. No obligation- No pressure…just some free help with the hopes that you like the difference we can make so much that you trust us with the sale of your home.

Wintry Wonderland at Charmingfare in Candia NH

Winter in NHI’m not sure if this is really the last weekend that Charmingfare Farm in Candia New Hampshire will offer their horse drawn sleigh rides like their website claims. But in case it is, you should really consider doing it. It’s been snowing all day (what else is new??) and I’m sure all this fresh snow will make the sleigh ride all the more special. Jay and I did it a few years ago and had a blast. So if you’re looking for a fun thing to do this weekend head on out to Candia and enjoy a great time at Charmingfare Farm. Check out their website for more info…http://www.visitthefarm.com/singlesleigh.php

If you’re looking for something a bit faster and louder head on up to Ossipee NH for their second annual SnoCross racing action. They are offering two full days to please both racers and spectators alike. Watch as racers twist and turn, jump and bump over hills and around turns all on a 1/3 mile track. Enjoy good foods from area vendors and just plain enjoy the beautiful Ossipee area! More info about the Blizzard Festival can be found on their website http://www.mountainblizzard.com/ Have a great New Hampshire weekend!

Hampstead NH versus Home Owners

Hampstead, New Hampshire Lake front property owners win a giant battle against the town.

In case you missed this piece of news, a yearlong battle regarding year round status was recently decided at the Rockingham County Superior Court. The case involved a local couple trying to sell their shore front properties only to discover that the town of Hampstead had declared the properties as “seasonal”. Seasonal, even though the tax assessment card, long used by REALTORS and residents alike, to help determine the status of a property made no reference to being seasonal. As a REALTOR one of the first things we do when taking a listing or doing a CMA (comparative market analysis) is to go to the town and pull the card. [Read more...]
