I was asked recently about the real estate market in Belknap County and how it was fairing in this seemingly "tough market".  Most consumers don't realize how good we have it here in this part of New Hampshire compared to the rest of the nation.  Real estate markets are local and according to the following statistics Belknap County is doing pretty well.
