Portsmouth NH Homes – Jan. 1, 2008 July 21, 2008

We had 67 homes in Portsmouth sell/close in this same time frame last year, and the average selling price of those homes sold was $366,103, and the average days on the market last year was 109 days.  This time last year, sellers on average received 96% of their last asking price.

So, we’re seeing the same number of homes selling this year as last year.  The average selling price this year is a little lower than last year’s average selling price, by about $40,000.  The average days on the market is the same, and the list to sales ratio is a percent different.  Prices are a little bit lower this year, so it really is a good time to be buying a Portsmouth NH home if you’re giving some thought to getting into the real estate market.

Buying A Home and A Community – Portsmouth NH Homes

 

Peeking In on Portsmouth NH Home - Ann Cummings 2009 NH REALTOR 

I had a client say to me the other day that they’re not just buying a home in Portsmouth, they’re buying into the Portsmouth community as well.  And that part of what they’re buying is very important to them.

If you’re thinking about buying a home in Portsmouth NH, or any other community, you’re buying into whatever that community has to offer.  That’s part of what you’re paying for.  You could take the basic 4 walls of any house, and plop them down in a variety of communities, and that 4-walled box will have a different value in each community.  Part of what goes into the value of each community is what that community has to offer.

 

And here’s what Portsmouth New Hampshire has to offer those who call Portsmouth home:

  • we have a fabulous downtown area, loads of shops, galleries, restaurants, museums, and more
  • we have a beautiful waterfront park, Prescott Park, where we can watch plays, hear concerts, take part in a variety of festivals, art shows, and more
  • we have Saturday morning Farmer’s Markets from May through November where you get all kinds of locally grown produce and locally made products, and meet old and new friends
  • we have a gorgeous huge new library with all kinds of programs open to all residents
  • we have great schools, 3 elementary schools, a middle school and a newly renovated and expanded high school
  • we have beautiful churches throughout the town, many with historic roots
  • we have lovely parks scattered all around town and have been awarded a “Tree City USA Award
  • we have a wide variety of homes in Portsmouth, choices in styles, ages and price ranges to suit everyone
  • we’re right here on the Atlantic Ocean and the Piscataqua River – awesome waterfront and a working port
  • we have a fascinating outdoor living history museum – Strawbery Banke.
  • we have loads of history all around us here, so if you love history, you’ll feel right at home
  • we have THE best seafood ever
  • we have loads of things to do in and around the Portsmouth NH area
  • we have great city festivals and fairs
  • we have super friendly residents who love living here and will help you learn all about Portsmouth NH living
  • we are in a super location for commuters – easy access to highways going north, south and west
  • we’re only an hour or so from great winter ski areas
  • we have lots of fun antique stores in the area
  • we have a great walking town to call home – sidewalks in most places with friendly neighbors calling out greetings as you pass by
  • we have glorious springs, spectacular falls, fun-filled summers, and winters that can bring snowy winter scenes

Portsmouth NH – Beauty and History in Our Churches

Portsmouth NH - Our Brand New Steeple on the North Church in Downtown Portsmouth
 

If you live here and make your home in Portsmouth New Hampshire, then you’re likely already aware of the beautiful churches all around town.

Portsmouth is an area rich in history, and our churches play important roles in that history as well.  Our oldest town churches are right in the heart of downtown, Market Square area.  One of our stately historic downtown churches was part of Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride to warn of the British coming.

North Church underwent a complete rebuilding of its magnificent steeple that can be seen from many areas of town.  North Church sits proudly in the very heart of our downtown Market Square, and has been the subject of many paintings and photographs of Portsmouth.

 

Enjoy this picture tour of some of the wonderful churches and houses of worship that await you here when you make Portsmouth NH your home!
