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.

Located on beautiful Lake Winnisquam, this furnished garden-style condo offers a rare opportunity to enjoy waterfront living in the heart of the Lakes Region with the kind [...]

There is a particular kind of buyer who understands something the general public often misses.

They are not just buying a house.

They are buying shoreline.
They are buying privacy.
They are buying exposure.
They are buying views.
They are buying the feeling of being out there, while still being close enough to the mainland for life to [...]

Every year in the Lakes Region, there comes a moment people wait for with almost absurd devotion.

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?

As the season turns, more properties begin to come to market, buyers start watching more closely, and sellers naturally begin asking the same question: what kind of spring market are we really stepping into this [...]

What Matters Before You Fall in Love With the View

There are few purchases more emotional than waterfront.

People do not walk into a lakefront home and begin by asking about setbacks, septic, frontage, permitting, or whether the dock is conforming. They walk in, see the shimmer off the water, imagine coffee on the deck, grandchildren [...]

If the first quarter of 2026 proved anything, it is this: the Lakes Region market is no longer willing to indulge lazy assumptions.

The frenzy has cooled. Buyers are more selective. Sellers have less room for fantasy pricing. And homes now need to offer more than a dock, a dream, and a slightly overconfident list [...]

Every year, without much announcement, it happens.

First the ice goes. Then the serious buyers show up.

The ice loosens.
The lake exhales.
And suddenly, the Lakes Region feels awake again.

Around here, ice-out is more than a date. It is a turning point.

One day, waterfront is still an idea.
The next, it becomes tangible again.

And that is when the market [...]
