portsmouth homes: Portsmouth NH Homes and Condos - Market Update for Dec. 2008 - 01/10/09 12:54 PM
 Portsmouth New Hampshire Real Estate Market Update - December 2008
The real estate market in Portsmouth had ups and downs in 2008.  Demand was there, inventory was there in some parts of the market and in other parts it was very lean.  Some areas in town have a pent-up demand, such as the Little Harbor area, and others have an over-supply of homes or condos on the market.
Real estate in Portsmouth NH and the surrounding area is always a topic of interest for most people in this area.  As the real estate market goes, so goes most other things, it seems.

Portsmouth NH Real Estate Market Update  - September 2008
Real estate is always one of the topics of conversation wherever we go, because who isn't interested in real estate and how markets are doing!  Someone is always looking to buy a home, sell a home, or they know someone thinking about buying or selling real estate of some sort.
Home sellers and home buyers in Portsmouth NH are no different, and I get asked about the New Hampshire real estate market all the time.  I love real estate, and helping people buy and sell homes and condos, so I never tire of real estate … (8 comments)

portsmouth homes: Portsmouth's Pet Pooch Park - Portsmouth New Hampshire - 06/15/07 07:42 AM
Portsmouth New Hampshire has loads of pets all over the place, and it's a great town for walking dogs (and kids!) - sidewalks in most of the town, a pet-friendly downtown, lots of nice little parks.  And we have a City of Portsmouth Dog Park, too.  That wasn't easy to get going, but it's been in existence for a few years now at this point.
 
 
Good news about the Portsmouth Pooch Park - it's in the process of getting a nice new overhaul.  A couple of weeks ago, a brand new fresh surface was put in.  It's now a stone surface, and it's been … (21 comments)

Skybus, a newly launched airline, has added Portsmouth NH to its destination schedule.  Skybus began its twice daily flights in and out of Pease International Tradeport on May 12th, and will be adding more flights down the road.  They are here 'for the long haul'.
If you've ever flown into or out of Boston/Logan, or even our own Manchester Airport, you know it can be just a tad bit troublesome at times.  Flying into and/or out of Pease is a total breeze!  And the airfares … (19 comments)

portsmouth homes: How "SUSTAINABLE" is Your City? - 01/08/07 05:15 AM

 
I was reading a copy of Midwest Living Magazine over the holidays, and came across a small little article that was titled, "Midwest Metros Get Green".  The title caught my eye, so I read a little more....
This article was talking about cities that had been ranked as being among the most 'sustainable' in America.  To be considered 'sustainable', the group who did the ranking looked at public transportation, local food sources, energy usage, water and air quality, park space, walkability, and more.  Other factors they looked at, in the event of how well a city can perform in the face of … (26 comments)
