Three Real Estate Myths?



A recent article on the Fox Business News website by Brendon DeSimone cautioned readers not to be fooled by three real estate myths. Hey, what do you know, Real Estate Mythology! The first myth was that spring is the best time to sell a home. It has long been the conventional...

Lakes Region of NH Waterfront Sales - March 2013

There were five waterfront sales on Lake Winnipesaukee in March, 2013 at an average price of $869,200. Two of those sales did break the million dollar mark.
