December Market Watch from Peabody & Smith Realty
It has been quite a ride in 2009, rising foreclosures, lower housing prices, and at the beginning of the year it all was looking so bleak. However, it would appear we have hit bottom and are rebounding, both nationally and locally. Fed Chairman Ben Bernacke was recently quoted as saying,
"Housing in the coming year is going to be a relative bright spot - a helpful driver of national economic growth, rather than the wet blanket it's been for the past couple of years."The headlines are everywhere: "Pending home sales have risen for nine months in a row, a first for the series of the index since its inception in 2001, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Riverglen Challenge
The first Riverglen Challenge, a 5 mile race for both walkers and runners, and a 2 mile fun walk was held this past Saturday at the Riverglen House in Littleton, NH. The day was perfect and although the weather forecast had called for rain, it held off for the entire event. There were several multi generational teams of walkers, including one with walkers from age 8 to age 87! The oldest racer to not only to compete in the event, but to complete the 5 mile walk is turning 90!!! When she approached me and asked if she was the only one walking with a walking stick (and it was NOT a cane), I had no idea that she was that old! She looked absolutely fantastic. This race was organized by David Dodge from the Riverglen House, and several local sponsors also contributed to the event. The proceeds will help to fund health and fitness pr...

Cash for Clunkers and the $8,000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit
As I passed by Littleton Chevrolet one of our local car dealers, I couldn't help but notice the large dumpster out front with the two "clunkers" in it. I love the visual, and I think its such an effective way to promote the Cash for Clunkers program. In fact I was going to take a picture of it, but the Associated Press beat me to it, and I saw one of Littleton Chevy's sister dealerships - Springfield Auto Mart in the Wall Street Journal with their own dumpster and clunkers.
But I digress, what does the... 30
A Brand New Sign for a 39-Year-Old Business!
As a marketing person, I often times get excited when I see a business doing something new, or innovative. Recently, on my way home I saw some sign posts going up at an established business in our area, but I realized, this was a business that had never had a sign. The business - Schofield's Septic Service. Schofield's is located on busy Route 302, just outside of Lisbon NH and they service septic systems all over the North Country of New Hampshire and beyond. I wondered, would this be a sign for them? A few days later, as my husband and I drove by, we both gasped when we saw what now appeared between the sign posts - a beautiful hand crafted wooden sign, with gold lettering - made especially for Schofield's Septic.
"Wow," my husband said. "That is one beautiful sign... 28
Fishing in the Ammonoosuc River located in Downtown Littleton NH
I am an avid fisherwoman, when I'm not working and for years I've been asking all my friends, why I never see anyone fishing in the Ammonoosuc River in downtown Littleton NH. Our Peabody & Smith office used to be on Main Street, and the river access wasn't as easy as our new location, here at 11 Riverglen Lane, and I thought that perhaps I would get myself into the river and give it a try, but I still wondered why I hadn't seen anyone fishing.
Finally, as I was leaving the offic...
