Most people are familiar with the midnight ride of Paul Revere and its historic relevance to our nation. But most people don't know about Paul's midday ride to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, four months earlier.   242 years ago today, December 13, 1774,Paul Revere rode into Portsmouth to warn locals of the British intention to secure all their munitions. (to keep the rebels from getting their hands on them)Portsmouth's patriots gathered and planned an attack on Fort William and Mary.

What is the “absorption rate” for Portsmouth NH  and the New Hampshire Seacoast homes for sale and why is that number so important?First we need to define exactly what a market absorption rate is and how it’s calculated. The strict definition of an absorption rate is the number of months it would take to sell the current homes listed for sale on the market. Generally around 6 months is known as a “balanced market”, that is one in which neither the seller or the buyer holds an advantage over the other. More than 6 months supply means that houses are not selling as well as they should and some sellers are willing to make concessions to sell their house. Under a 6 months supply means that houses are selling at a brisk pace, the lower the number, the faster the rate of sale.Real the whole s... 02/03/2016

Curious about how the Portsmouth NH real estate market did in 2015?Almost everyone seems to have great interest in how real estate markets perform. We frequently have people asking us questions about the local market.  The media is full of information about ‘the national real estate market’, and yet there is no ‘national’ market.  All real estate is local, and it really can vary greatly from town to town, and even from neighborhood to neighborhood in the same.  While "location, location, location" remain very important to real estate; "local, local, local" is alwso critinally important because all real estate is local. Click here to read more about how Portsmouth NH Home And Condos did in 2015 01/28/2016

Looking For Foreclosures? Foreclosures aren’t easy to find unless you have a licensed real estate agent in your back pocket.  The Realtor’s multiple listing service does not allow foreclosure properties to be displayed as such.  They look just like any other listing.  Foreclosure listings are not labeled because thieves will perceive those properties to be vacant and then target them for the copper pipes and other items that they can sell.  It’s really a mute attempt at property preservation.  Thieves are thieves and they will find things to steal. How To Find Foreclosures There are a hundred internet websites that claim they have all the foreclosures listings but since none of them have license to pull information from our MLS, the information is false or old so most buyers don’t have ... 04/17/2015
