The best way to try and show you what the Hampstead NH real estate market is doing is to create an Absorption rate chart for you. Hampstead NH Absorption rate Oct 2008... not a pretty picture. Currently there is a 21.7 month supply of homes on the market. This is based on sold data with no price range or size restrictions. If you narrowed it down to a specific price point and size it would narrow significantly.

For example using the same time frame but adding the price range of $250,000 to $299,900 the chart would narrow down to 13 + months of inventory. 13 plus months is still pretty high. If you compare it to a year ago we're doing a little better. Which is a good thing!

Hampstead NH annual Christmas parade is right around the corner!

This year the Hampstead NH Firemen's Association Christmas Parade will be held on December 14 2008 at 2pm

The theme will be "Christmas In Candy Land" and it should be a very special event, one for the whole family to enjoy.

Last year I took a few pictures and created this slide show to share with you all...

Last night after dinner I took Monika out to go look at a house on Emerson Avenue that was all decked out for Halloween. These people decorate their house for Christmas too and it is magical.

I don't know how much money they spend every year but I do know the electric company sure does love them. I spoke with the owners father and he said Christmas was the most costly because they entertain the neighborhood for two weeks during the Christmas season. HAlloween isn't all that bad. LOL

Here is what we saw tonight.

I had the privilege to visit a wonderful place today. It is a day care facility for people living with Alzheimer's disease. Sarah Care offers a safe place where patients with Alzheimer's can go for a few hours or all day so their custodial family can "get a break" from the 24-7 care necessary to keep these people safe.

Sarah Care is set in a strip mall called Hampstead Commons located on Route 111 in Hampstead just east of the Stage Road intersection. The environment is welcoming and friendly like a huge living room with kitchen & dining facilities and full medical staff on site.

I was there today with a group of my friends; we call ourselves, Vox Jubilante.

We sing inspirational music of all kinds - we choose the songs because of the message they impart. Hopefully we put a smile on some faces and planted some hope in a heart or two.

Hampstead Commons has some other convenient shops including; a bakery, a bank, a butcher shop, a wine shop and a coffee shop called Bean Towne.

If you are looking for help with a friend or family member living with Alzheimer's, check out this facility. Sarah Care could be just the place you need to help you continue to keep your loved one home.
