Our Walk through Downtown Littleton NH and the RiverWalk
Its was an overcast Monday (6/15) here in Littleton, NH but April Reinhard and I left our Littleton office and took a 15 minute "heart/health walk" down the Riverwalk path many tourists who come to Littleton take, but one that we never have - and we've lived here our whole life! We left our office and went over the Cottage Street bridge, when looking left we saw the Paddleford Covered Bridge which was constructed within the last few years, its absolutely beautiful. We then headed onto our Main Street, which is currently under construction, but traffic was still traveling through and a bus load of tourists were browsing through the shops, and one lady had just had her nail...

Summer Market Watch from Peabody & Smith Realty - Current Market Snapshot
Is it a Triple Play? Consumer Confidence Rising; Real Estate Sales Increase, New Construction numbers rebound.
As of June 1st, all three important indicators are positive. Plus, the low interest rates and the $8000 First time Home Buyers Tax Credit continue to be market makers. So, is the market back?

This increases the annual number of homes sold in the NE from 690,000 to 770,000. New home building starts increased 21% in April over March, a great sign that the excess inventory of new, un-sold homes is getting cleaned up.
