New Hampshire Lake homes AvailabilityFall of 2012 Lakefront sales update for the New Hampshire lakes regions.  October has been the busiest month I have had since 2008 and November looks even better. If you are in the market for a second home or a retirement home get in your car and come on up. The lake home inventory is excellent at every price point.  New Hampshire is a wonder destination offering four full seasons of activity.  We are in the middle of the foliage season and the mountains must have been painted by Rembrandt, the colors are vivid.  We just took a trip on the Mount Washington ( an excursion ship ) around Lake Winnipesaukee this morning in the crisp fall air.  The views of the Ossipee and Squam ranges were spectacular along with unforgettable views of Chocorua and Mt Washington. I have gotten my skis ready for the Thanksgiving weekend opening of the local ski areas and I just registered my snowmobile.  Plan a visit to NH I guarantee you will stay.
