The Great Debate: Live vs. Artificial Trees for the Holidays
As the holiday season nears, one of the most cherished traditions involves picking the ideal centerpiece for your home. Our real estate agents at Badger Peabody & Smith Realty know that your living space choices show your lifestyle and values. This is why we're looking into whether a live or artificial tree fits your New Hampshire home better this year.
The Appeal of Live Christmas Trees

How to Winterize Your NH Home for Cooler Months
As warm weather starts to give way to cooler autumn days, it's not too early to start preparing for the winter months ahead. Winterizing your home is an important part of your annual home maintenance routine, and it's the key to a safe and happy winter. Taking preventative steps now while the weather is nice can limit the risk of major home projects during the frigid months. Our real estate agents are here with some important winterization projects to add to your list this fall.
- Prepare Your Plumbing
When it comes to winterizing, preventing frozen or bursting pipes is a top priority. Now is the time to prepare any plumbing that is exposed to the elements and can potentially freeze. Drain any outdoor faucets, garden hoses, and in-ground sprinklers. If you have pipes that run along exterior facing walls, add extra insulation or heat tape to help keep them warm throughout the winter.
