As the calendar turns to spring, warmer weather makes it the perfect time to get out and about in north-central New Hampshire. And even better, spring brings many events and shows to the area that will make for fun additions to your seasonal plans. Our real estate agents suggest the following spring shows and events to add to your calendar:
Many people think real estate goes to sleep during New Hampshire winters. But our real estate agents at Badger Peabody & Smith Realty see something different in Coos, Grafton, and Carroll counties. January brings a distinct subset of purchasers who aren't casually browsing—they're actively committed to securing their next property despite snow-covered landscapes and frigid temperatures.
Smart buyers know that January offers opportunities to save money that disappear when spring comes. With fewer people looking to buy, they can negotiate better deals than during the busy season, when lots of people are trying to outbid each other.
The mountain environment, outdoor recreational activities, and a slower pace of life were motivating factors in the decisions of a trio of entrepreneurs who have chosen northern New Hampshire as the place where they wanted to locate and grow their businesses. These enterprising business people strongly believe in supporting and improving the regional economy by hiring local people, participating in and giving back to their communities, and serving as an inspiration for other small companies to consider doing business at the northern end of the state.
Any time of year is a good time to stop by an independent bookstore in your community or visit one when you are travelling.
And with winter just around the corner, it's time to stock up on books to carry you through the cold months ahead. Books make great Christmas gifts, too!
Every bookstore has its specialties, from the ambiance of the setting to the shelves stocked with best sellers, local authors, outdoor guides, and more. Many carry other items like magazines, audiobooks, toys, greeting cards, calendars, and various gift items. Most have a chair or two where you can relax while you peruse a few volumes. It's easy to while away an hour or more in the friendly atmosphere of a bookstore!
Fall is here, and your home should match this welcoming warmth to attract potential buyers in this gorgeous season. Our skilled real estate agents at Badger Peabody & Smith Realty know that fall gives you a special chance to show off how your property can host memorable gatherings and create intimate moments.
Your living room has an impact on fall home entertaining. Clever staging turns this area into a buyer's ideal gathering place. Replace light summer fabrics with rich textures—consider wool throws, velvet pillows, and cashmere blankets in deep red, golden yellow, or forest green. These elements add visual warmth and help buyers picture cozy nights by the fire.
