Those of us who call New Hampshire home know that the quality of life one finds living here is simply unsurpassed. You will love NH. That may sound like a biased opinion, but it is backed up by facts. In a recent study that examined how the fifty states rank in terms of quality of life for their residents, NH topped the charts with all the key indicators– always in the top ten and often in the top three!
You probably have heard that the current real estate market in New England is a seller’s market, and depending on which communities and the region of the state in which you look, the signs may indeed be there to support this. While the market varies based upon where you live, there are three clear signs to look for:
Your home is beautiful and perhaps, unique. But when you prepare to sell it, you have to think about how the average buyer will perceive it as they pull up to the curb. This is an important factor known as “curb appeal”, and yes, you probably know this means cleaning up debris and making your yard look pretty. But did you know that there are several things, perhaps those that you think make the home stylish and uniquely your own, which can turn potential buyers off?
If you are a parent and are also about to move, you are probably worried about the how difficult the transition may be for the youngest members of your family. There are studies that can increase your stress by listing off all the potential challenges your child may face, so perhaps you are in need of a reality check to ease your worried mind.

There is an increasingly high demand coming from today’s home buyers for homes that utilize solar energy. Popular with Millennials to retirees, this green source of energy is something these eco-savvy buyers are willing to pay a lot more to have.
The National Association of REALTORS® and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry has recently released a report to give insight as to which of the most popular home renovation projects would provide the most impact to your bottom line when it comes time to sell your home. It becomes clear that some renovations offer more bang for your buck, while others leave the homeowner with a pretty small return on investment.
With limited inventory on the market, some home buyers who have been shopping for a while may start to wonder if the only way to find the “right home” for their family is to build one. It can be frustrating to know exactly what you are looking for, but struggle to find it on the market, or lose-out because someone outbid your offer. But is building a home better than keeping up your search of pre-existing homes?
The average price of rent in New England, and across the country, continues to inch upward, yet many of those renters admit they are afraid to buy a home. In a recent survey conducted by Bankrate.com, almost half of the renters polled said that they have avoided purchasing a home because they don’t think their credit is good enough for them to be able to qualify for a mortgage. These renters also expressed that they could not afford a down payment which, they believed, was always required.
