Are You Ready For Some Football?!?!?!?!
Do you love football? Are you a New England Patriots fan?
If you live in the Portsmouth NH area and are looking for some Super Bowl fun for this coming game on Sunday, Feb 3rd, there are lots of options for you! How great is that?!?!?
I read an article recently that was talking about the cost going to the Super Bowl this year, and they compared that cost with the cost of the median home in some states back in 2000, per the US census. That median price was $133,000. Did you know that you, and 9 of your closest dearest friends could go to the Super Bowl this year, and watch the game in style in one of the luxury boxes for just a mere $30,000 more?
A little too rich for your pocketbook? It certainly is for mine! Another article I read said that you could find, if you were lucky, tickets for seats on the 50-yard line for $8,500 to close to $20,000, or end-zone tickets for about $5,000 each. Hmmm, that's still pretty steep for most people, including me.
So, how about sticking closer to home here in the NH Seacoast area? Hang out with friends and family, or head out to one of the variety of places around the area that offer multiple TVs to catch the game on.
Here are some choices for you:
Enjoy the Super Bowl, and GO PATRIOTS!!!! ....Just in case you were wondering who I'm rooting for.... ;-)

Here we are again in Portsmouth New Hampshire, getting hit by ANOTHER snowstorm!
At this point, none of my clients who've relocated here this past year are believing what I told them when I first started working with them when they'd ask about how much snow we generally get here in the Seacoast each winter - and after the snow we've already had so far this winter, I can see why they're wondering!
Until yesterday, we had bare ground with just spotty patches of snow here and there, and of course the snow hills that had been piled up in parking lots around town. But nice bare ground, which was VERY nice to see!
REALLY - we really do get far less than this on average each winter! And just to prove that point, the snow budgets in the towns around me are pretty much spent, and we still have a couple more months to go in which we could get even more snow.
Our snow budget here in Portsmouth NH only has about 15% left of the total amount that was budgetted for the WHOLE winter, and that wasn't taking into account what will be spent on today's storm.
I had an email the other day from a client I sold a lovely home to in Stratham NH. She started off by teasingly commenting that she knew meteorologist was not part of the job of being a great REALTOR.........
Predicting snowfall is more art than science, and you can only go by what's happened historically. This is proving to be a less-than-normal winter in most of New Hampshire this year. Here in Portsmouth, we've already had about 3 feet of snow, today will add about another foot to that total, and who knows what the rest of the winter months of Jan, Feb., and March may bring us. We typically don't have that much in an entire winter's worth of snow!
The 1st picture above was around 7:30am this morning, and the 2nd picture was taken about noontime - piles of snow on top of my birdfeeders, and it's still snowing, just not as heavily as in the first pictures I took this morning. As of about 12:15pm, the news is showing that we have gotten about 10 inches of snow here, with some more still to fall before this storm moves off the coast.
Global warming???? I'm thinking that philosophy might need to be revisited just a bit........

Let me put my years of experience here in the coastal areas of NH & southern Maine to work for YOU! Servicing the greater Portsmouth, Hampton, Exeter, Dover, NH areas & the southern tip of Maine.
Welcome, and thanks for checking out my site! I LOVE what I do, and that's helping buyers & sellers in the coastal areas of New Hampshire & southeastern Maine. I've been doing so for the last 25+ years, full-time right here, so I've really gotten to know the Portsmouth New Hampshire market thoroughly, and have seen many changes over that time. The one thing that doesn't change, however, is the dream to own one's home. I believe that those who truly want to own their own home should be able to, and that's what I'm all about.....helping those who want their own piece of that dream!!
I grew up in the Air Force, moving all about the country, and having to adapt to the changes each move brought. Because of that, I know first hand what it's like to pick up and move. It's not always easy, nor is it always a move someone really wants. I work hard to ensure each move and home purchase/sale is as smooth and pleasant as it can be. Moving and the home buying/selling process is stressful, and my goal is to take some of that stress away.
To make sure I continually offer the best real estate service I can, I always make it a point to attend educational sessions, and I'm very active in the REALTOR organization. I've earned several designations and certifications through my on-going education: GRI (Graduate REALTORS Institute-a comprehensive educational program that provides additional education above that needed to earn a real estate license); CBR (Certified Buyer Representative-this is a comprehensive training course with extensive education regarding representation of buyers in the home-buying process); REALTOR (member of the National Association of REALTORS - subscribing to a strict Code of Ethics in all real estate dealings); e-PRO (training course that provides extensive educational on working with internet-empowered consumers). I'm presently working on several others as well.
Within the REALTOR organization, I've been very active, and I work very hard to promote what we, as REALTORS, stand for......the protection of private property rights and the right to enjoy it. I serve on various committees on my local level, as well as at the state level and the national level. I've served as President of the NH Association of REALTORS, and I've been given the great honor of being chosen "State REALTOR of the Year" for the NH Association of REALTORS.
I LOVE what I do, both for buyers & sellers, and for REALTORS throughout my organization!

My professional concentration is on residential real estate - single family homes, condos, mobile homes & manufactured homes, multi-family homes, and land - and I focus primarily on the coastal area of New Hampshire (Portsmouth, Rye, Hampton, Exeter, Stratham, Greenland, Dover, Durham, Rochester & surrounding areas) and the southeastern corner of Maine (Kittery, Eliot, York, South Berwick, Berwick, North Berwick, and surrounding areas). I'm a licensed Broker in both New Hampshire and Maine, and I've been licensed since 1981.
My goal is to help educate each of my clients - buyers & sellers - on the New Hampshire & Maine real estate market and on what's needed to help them achieve their real estate goals, whether buying or selling. The price ranges in my market can run from $100,000 to $12,000,000, and I work hard to help each client make the best and most-informed decision they can about their real estate purchase or sale.
I'm a big proponent of using today's technology to make the process the best it can be for all involved. I have an abundance of area information on my websites, and I encourage you to visit them for all kinds of helpful and useful information. www.AnnCummings.com and www.PortsmouthNewHampshireHomes.com will provide you with great information to help you learn about this wonderful area I love calling HOME!!
