The Lakes Region real estate market is doing what it often does best: confusing people who are trying to make it sound simple.

At first glance, the numbers appear to tell one story.

Sales are down.

Prices are up.

Days on market are longer.

Inventory is still tight in some places, wildly ambitious in others, and waterfront buyers continue to behave as if Lake Winnipesaukee has quietly become its own [...]

Accessory dwelling units are getting a lot of attention across New Hampshire, and for good reason. State law has made ADUs more accessible in many cases, including allowing one ADU by right per property and providing specific protections for ADUs between 750 and 950 square feet, while still leaving towns with authority over many local [...]

Selling a home is never just one task.

It is pricing, preparation, presentation, marketing, negotiation, communication, timing, problem-solving, and keeping the whole thing from going sideways when real life inevitably barges in wearing muddy [...]

I follow Nikki Beauchamp on LinkedIn because we know each other through FIABCI, the International Real Estate Federation, a global real estate network. So when I saw her mention Terri Williams’s recent Forbes article, [...]

Some properties stand out because of their size. Others because of their setting.

And then there are properties like this one, which stand out because they make sense.

Not mud season. Not Memorial Day. Not the first brave soul in shorts.

Ice-out.

And now that Lake Winnipesaukee’s official ice-out has been called, the shift begins again.

To outsiders, it may sound like a local novelty. A bit of regional theater. One more New Hampshire tradition to file under charming but [...]

Many second-home owners in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region are asking the same question right now:

Should I rent it out for a while instead of selling it?
