Moving Into Town
I was recently talking with one of my regular customers at my store about the local area, and she was surprised to learn I've lived here all my life. Alternatively, I was surprised to learn that she has not lived here much longer than a few years. She looked at me somewhat sheepishly and asked what I thought of new folks moving into the area. I realized she was probably expecting some sort of sarcastic response, or an overall general disdain for folks who relocated here in recent years. I explained that I think change is good (and necessary).
I don't feel any type of negativity towards folks who move into the area. Most of the time, I feel really inspired by the people I meet who have moved here, because with new people come new minds and new ideas. They not only have a different perspective from living elsewhere, but they...

Feeling the Beat of the Valley
When I talk to people from out of town who haven't experienced our music scene, I find myself boasting about the many live performance options going on year round. The summer of 2023 is no exception, as there are plenty of indoor and outdoor stage options to keep locals and vacationers enthused.
So, what does music have to do with real estate? In addition to me having helped some of my favorite local musicians to buy and/or sell homes, and bonding with clients over our favorite musicians, I find music to be as much a Valley VIBE as the majestic mountains that surround us. It's the beat that keeps our spirits soaring and our feet tapping. It's a place to gather and groove, a way to see folks of all ages enjoying a common theme, a way to stay young at heart, and one of the many reasons people choose to visit, vacation, and live where the sounds of m...

Make Your Way to These Turkey Trots
Thanksgiving Day often means overeating and then lazing around watching football or just relaxing, but Turkey Trots let you have some fun while burning off some calories. Some are held on Thanksgiving Day, and others in advance of the holiday, but either way, they're a great opportunity to exercise before the big feast. Many also help benefit local worthy causes.
Our real estate agents share the following list of Turkey Trots around Carroll and Grafton counties:
- PALS Turkey Trot - Lisbon Regional School, 25 Highland Ave., Lisbon, NH 03585

Exploring The Ammonoosuc Rail Trail on Bike
Northern New Hampshire has an amazing recreational resource that you may not know about called the Ammonoosuc Rail Trail. The reclaimed rail line is now a multi-use trail that is about 20 miles one way between Woodsville and Littleton, NH. The trail's surface is stone dust and gravel with occasional sections of chunkier ballast from the now removed train tracks. It's a beautiful scenic route passing through woods, alongside fields, over multiple bridges and repeated views of the Ammonoosuc River.  |

First Snow of the Season
Well, it's finally happened! We have our first snow of the season last evening/this morning with more in the forecast for the weekend! The seasons in New Hampshire are wonderful, and when the foliage finishes, I love the change over to winter (and I will say, by March, I'm ready for spring!) However, the first snow is one I love to see, as well as our children! I had a nine year old outside this morning creating this mini-snowman near her pumpkin. And her little sister watching from the wings, waiting to be old enough to go out too!
We found our winter clothes this morning, the boots, hats, mittens and more and we're ready to go! Soon, all of us who love winter will be ready for skiing at Bretton Woods or
