new hampshire: Porthsmouth Book Club June Meetup - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - 05/12/10 01:25 AM
Tonight we discussed, "Book of Vice" by Peter Sagal and we expected a small turnout not because of the material but because of the number of RSVPs. However, it turned out to be a very large group for this particular group discussion which I was not prepared for! We had to bring out extra tables for all of the new people. I couldn't have anticipated a better evening.
Many of us enjoyed Mr. Sagal's satryical point of views on naughty vices, but his words fell short on ears that had not before heard his tones and voice. I love Peter on his NPR … (0 comments)

new hampshire: Portsmouth Book Club May Meetup - The Book of Vice - 04/13/10 11:42 PM
This evening we met at the Rosa in Portsmouth to discuss Little Bee by Chris Cleave. We had a great turn out, a huge group! I heard this book had the potential to create a good "back and forth" in a group discussion atmosphere, but I wasn't prepared for the intensely charged group, and our ensuing emotions, which we had this evening.
In Little Bee, two young sisters are running for their lives from a group of men with machetes in Nigeria who have slaughtered their entire village, and family, for the sake of oil. They run and run until they reach the … (0 comments)

new hampshire: The Portsmouth Book Club - February Pick - The Hunger Games - 01/30/10 12:44 AM
Last month we discussed, The Help, by Kathryn Stockett. Our group rallied around this book in unison and gave it the universal thumbs up. Although the book was heavily weighted in feminine character and thought (there wasn't one strong male character throughout), the men enjoyed this novel as equally as the women. For me it was a bit of a slow start, but once it got going, you just couldn't put it down. I was up until 3am one evening (morning!) finishing this book because I just had to find out what happened next. I have never understood how an author … (0 comments)

new hampshire: Portsmouth, NH Book Club January Pick - The Help - 12/12/09 10:12 PM
In our last meeting we discussed The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
First, I would like to openly admit that I did not finish the book, although I am the meeting founder and coordinator. This usually does not happen. But what can I say? A) I'm human. B) I'm a full time real estate agent slash mom. And I had an extremely busy month. So let's leave it at that.
This is one of the reasons I started my book club. There are many reasons, but one is the fact that I love to read but often lack the time. Book … (2 comments)

new hampshire: The Portsmouth Book Club - December Pick - 11/17/09 01:33 PM
Our December pick for the Portsmouth Book Club is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Here is a brief synopsis from Barnes and Noble of The Book Thief: It’s just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. . . . Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t … (2 comments)

new hampshire: Investment Properties - 08/03/09 07:09 PM
A number of people are now looking for investment properties, mostly multi-families and duplexes. I have a number of buyers who are currently looking for these types of properties. A few years ago, these were hot properties. After the recent real estate decline, these types of properties weren't as hot anymore, and prices tumbled. Now that the prices are becoming more stable, the multi and duplex properties seem to be making a comeback. I suddenly have several buyers in the market! Have one to sell? Call me!
Aside from multis, I also have a number of buyers looking for NH and … (3 comments)

new hampshire: FSBOs in Seacoast NH - 07/31/09 05:18 PM
According to NAR®, less than 10% of all FSBOs are successful, why? There are too many reasons to count.
1. You can't get listed on the MLS without a Realtor. Sure, you can pay for an entry only listing, but a true Realtor® will list you for free, you only pay when your home sells.
2. Realtors®, who have the majority of the buyers, will not show FSBO homes, or will advise against buying them.
3. FSBOs may not understand the current market conditions.
4. Unscrupulous buyers target FSBOs with deliriously low offers and effective sales pitches.
5. FSBOs may not … (1 comments)

new hampshire: The Most Common Home Styles in New Hampshire - 07/29/09 09:40 PM
The three most common home styles in New Hampshire are: The Cape, The Colonial and the Ranch. I was curious to know just how common they were as compared to the multitude of other home styles, so I went about it by looking at all of the homes sold in the past year in New Hampshire, and I made a chart.
Homes Sold in NH July 29, 2008 - July 29, 2009 (excluding condos and mobiles)
10,037 Homes Sold
You can see how the ranch (raised ranches, split level and single levels), Colonials (antiques and neo-colonials), and Capes heavily outweigh … (1 comments)

new hampshire: Portsmouth NH Bow Street Fair This Weekend - 07/13/09 03:53 PM
The Bow Street Fair will be this weekend in Portsmouth, July 18th and 19th, a beautiful Arts and crafts celebration benefiting the Seacoast Repertory Theatre. You can have your own booth set up for $200 (visit the Bow Street Fair link for the application), but if you are like me you will be just as thrilled to take your family on a stroll through the booths and the people.
This is a great way to support the arts in our community, and enjoy the weekend as well!

new hampshire: Portsmouth NH Market Report - June 2009 - 07/09/09 12:43 AM
Residential - Single Family Homes
I have not done a market report in a while because of the season, I have been very busy. In my last reports, I had been combining single family homes, condos and mobiles and in hindsight, I should not have been lumping them together since the prices on each particular type of property vary too much. Going forward, I will focus on single family homes as an economic indicator.
