Another Great Halloween In The White Mountains!

Carving pumpkins, Dressing up as super villains, and of course grabbing as much candy as you can!

Fall is the nicest time of year in New Hampshire. As the night air turns crisp, the leaves turn to brilliant reds, golds, and yellows and, occasionally, the mountain tops get a frosting of snow along with the beautiful colors. Well, this past weekend our neighbors in the southern part of the state didn't have to travel up to the mountains to see snow. From Wakefield and south there were areas that had snow on lawns and fields. This seems early to most people to have snow on the 18th of October, but I do remember having snow on the 12th. So one may wonder about all this talk of "Global Warming". Not much sign of that this year with the rainy, cool summer we have just had and the early signs of snow.

This early snow down south may make you think that it is too late in the season to be buying or selling real estate. However, this is not the case. We have been busier in the past month than we have been for quite some time. This is also the concensus of other real estate offices in the Mt. Washington area. Some people may say that is because of the stimulous money being offered by Uncle Sam, but I don't find this to be true in this area. In our office I have not heard of any one who was taking advantage of that $8000. To me this is a sign of a slow, but natural, recovery of the market. Time will tell if I am correct, but let's hope so.

The Wild Things are loose in the Great White North!

Black Bear Realty designed another fun addition to the Jackson NH Pumpkin People tour.

This Hunter doesn't know what he is missing while he enjoys a nap in the "Indian Summer" warmth of October. Check Out this display and may others on the Jackson NH Pumpkin People Tour!

Asleep under a Pumpkin Tree, the Hunter is surrounded by a Red Fox, A Little Skunk, A Fat Tom Turkey and a Surprised Little Deer.
