Trying to sell your Portsmouth NH home or condo?
If you are, then you know competing for today’s buyers is quite challenging, to say the least.
Want to increase the chances of those buyers wanting to make your Portsmouth home theirs!
You need to go the extra step or two to make your house as welcoming and inviting as you can, and that means from the curb to the inside.
In a recent article in the Portsmouth Herald, an article “Staging Helps Home Sale Speed and Price”, the author talked about the benefits of making sure your home is properly presented to potential buyers, and ways to go about doing that. Be sure to check out that article for more detailed information on the staging process and how it can help in the home-selling process.
Getting your Portsmouth NH home sold in today’s real estate market….
….means working with your experienced professional NH REALTOR – setting the proper price and setting the right presentation of your home.
For buyers in today’s market, it’s the EXPERIENCE they feel when they view your home, and you want that to be the very best it can be, from the first moment they lay eyes on your home from the street. That exterior curb appeal has to be such that it makes them want to come see the inside of the home. Once they’re inside, you want your entryway to speak to them and beckon them in further.
Getting things right from the start – price and presentation – will help your home sell quicker than the competition and typically for the most money the market will bear. It’s all about attention to detail and the experience!

Scarecrows of the Port | Portsmouth NH Homes

If you make your home in Portsmouth NH, or have been visiting and wishing you had a Portsmouth New Hampshire home, you’ve most likely seen all the endearing scarecrows that have popped up all around the downtown area.
Some just kinda sneak up on you, and others are right out there and easily spotted.
These Scarecrows of the Port are the brainchild of volunteers from the Greater Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce, and various businesses around town added some scarecrows of their own this year. “The Scarecrows of the Port began last year when the submarine USS New Hampshire was commissioned. It was suggested that the scarecrows would be a good draw to the city and give the submarine event another perspective of Portsmouth.”, quoted from The Portsmouth Herald.
Take a drive around the downtown Portsmouth area and see how many of these fun scarecrows you can spot! Every time I drive through town, I see another 1 or 2 that I hadn’t seen before. And to make sure you’re not missing any, make sure to check out the video and map available at the Scarecrows of the Port website.
Don’t wait too long to see these scary but lovable Portsmouth NH Scarecrows – they’ll only hanging out around town until November 1st…… if you miss them, you’ll have to wait until next fall to see them again….

Portsmouth NH Home to Tall Ships Festival

Those of us who call Portsmouth NH home know that we have all kinds of great things that go on all year long. One very special event that has been taking place for the last 10 summers is our Tall Ships Festival, put on by the Piscataqua Maritime Commission. The folks on that commission do a fabulous job bringing in Tall Ships for us to enjoy each year.
This year, the first of the four ships visiting for our Tall Ships Festival began arriving a week ago. The Tall Ships Boat Parade was Friday morning, starting out at the mouth of Portsmouth Harbor. I watched them come into the harbor in Newcastle, and then I followed them through Newcastle and then down into the downtown area where they tied up at the State Piers downtown.
These ships are so majestic to see – just beautiful!
If you want to see more beautiful pictures of these Tall Ships, please check out Philip Case Cohen’s Photo Blog – The Daily Portsmouth. His photographs are just beautiful!

The Scenes of Home in Portsmouth NH

Calling Portsmouth NH home means so many different things to different people.
It can mean the closeness of family and friends. It can mean the closeness of all the water in and around Portsmouth. It can mean the beautiful historic homes and rich history we’re surrounded with here. It can mean the beautiful parks scattered all about town.
It can mean the wonderful brick buildings that make up our downtown area. It can mean sitting outside downtown at any number of outdoor cafes and restaurants.
To me, Portsmouth NH as my home means so many things, some of which are the iconic scenes that so many associate with this fabulous town……
….. the beautiful soaring steeple of the North Church, the Moran tugboats that navigate the river and harbor with grace and dignity, the bridges that connect Portsmouth NH with Kittery Maine, our beautiful parks ……….
…..these and some much more are home to me, home here in Portsmouth New Hampshire.

Tall Ships Are Coming to Portsmouth NH

If you live in or around Portsmouth NH, you know we always have lots of things going on that are centered around all the water we’re so lucky to have all around us!
Another fabulous event going on this week is our Portsmouth NH Tall Ships Festival, which is brought here to us by our Piscataqua Maritime Commission.
We’ve been fortunate to have had Tall Ships visit us for a number of years now, and visitors and residents alike just love our summer Tall Ships Festival. This is our 10th annual festival.
This year, we’ve got 4 ships coming in: the US Coast Guard Eagle, the Kalmar Nyckel, the Spirit of Massachusetts, and the Spirit of Carolina. These ships have begun arriving in Portsmouth Harbor. The Spirit of Massachusetts is already in port, having arrived on Sunday. The others will be arriving on the 5th and 6th. During the week, these ships will be sailing up and down the river – great picture-taking opportunities.
The Tall Ships Boat Parade will be held the morning of August 7th, starting at the mouth of Portsmouth Harbor, going upriver to the docks in downtown Portsmouth. Once the ships are docked, the official festivities will begin – tours, entertainment, day sails, and more.
This is a wonderful event to take part in – plan a day here in Portsmouth NH and see these beautiful ships! I watched the boat parade last time, and got to see them at the docks. They are beautiful ships for sure!
If you’re here and make Portsmouth NH home, or if you’re in the area or are close enough to take a day trip here, come see these magnificent Tall Ships – well worth spending a day here to see them and enjoy all that downtown Portsmouth has to offer.
