When it's wintertime across Coos, Grafton, and Carroll counties, many homeowners assume real estate activity slows to a crawl. Snowstorms, icy roads, and short daylight hours can make the season feel quiet, but the winter market in New Hampshire is often far more active than expected. Motivated buyers are out there, especially in the White Mountains, Mount Washington Valley, and the Lakes Region. These buyers are serious, time-sensitive, and ready to move quickly—making winter one of the most overlooked seasons for sellers who want stronger leverage and less competition.

If you're thinking about listing your home this winter, you can absolutely make it stand out. Our real estate agents can create a strategy that highlights your home's best features, creates a warm impression, and shows buyers how comfortable life can be during a New Hampshire winter.

Author John Steinbeck's cross-country travels with his poodle Charley were the basis for his well-known travelogue Travels with Charley. When the book was published in 1962, it wasn't common to take a road trip with your pup. Now, more than 60 years later, it's not unusual for man and woman's best friend to accompany his or her owner on a day trip to sample a new brewery or on a longer vacation. 

Pet-friendly venues, from restaurants, hotels, inns, and campsites to dog parks and walking and hiking trails, are the norm. Pet-friendly stores stock all the latest doggie clothing, toys, treats and more, and when owners want a day to themselves doggie day-care centers welcome pups with a range of options from grooming to spacious play areas.  

Have a destination in mind for you and your pooch? Google the name of the town, add "pet-friendly," and lots of options will pop up.

Fast forward to the 21st century, and the National Golf Association estimates that "nearly 25 million people played golf on a golf course in the United States in 2020."
