The latest forecast by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) claims that existing-home sales are projected to trend up in 2008.  I definitely see that happening here in the Seacoast.  In fact, Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for NAR was quoted recently saying, "The improvement in the Northeast reaffirms a trend apparent for some months now that shows signs of recovery, noteworthy because that was the first region to slump." Yes, he said did say improvement in the Northeast!
Let's check out what's been going on in Hampton/North Hampton, NH.

new hampshire: Visit and Get Lost in a New Hampshire Corn Maze - 09/17/07 01:10 PM
So what exactly is a CORN MAZE?  It's a corn field that has trails through it shaped into a maze. Visitors to a maze walk through the trails and try to find their way to the exit.  In the spring, farmers plant a normal corn field.  When the field reachs about knee high, it is cut, and transformed into a corn maze.  It is a-mazing to trek through living walls of corn that are over 8 feet tall!!
 
You can find corn mazes in New Hampshire at the following farms:
Beans and Greens Farm in Gilford, NH

Think again!!  New Hampshire may have no income or sales tax for residents but this state sure does know how to get you in other ways.  Under a two-year budget approved yesterday by the House budget writers, plans have been made to increase the tax on cigarettes, wild turkey hunting permits, car registrations and home sales.  Increases are as follows:

2.  Resident's wanting to obtain a permit to hunt wild turkey will be charged $10.00,
3.  It will cost an additional $6.00 to register your car, and last but not least...

I am an avid NASCAR fan.  Yup, I'm one of the millions of women in America who watch mostly grown men drive fast and turn left.  As the Race to the Chase begins in Loudon, New Hampshire tomorrow, I thought I would write to see how many other ActiveRain folks follow Nascar.  I'm also curious if anyone markets to a sport or even Nascar fans?  As this sport is something that I enjoy, I'd love to combine my love of real estate with my enjoyment in watching racing.  And, since I know your all dying to know, it's the 6 car I root for.  … (4 comments)
