Portsmouth NH Homes Condos Real Estate

Dover NH Homes | Dover NH Condos

Dover NH real estate market showed some strong activity during 2007.  Average sales prices increased in homes and condos, average list-to-sell ratios stayed strong, and days on the market remained about the same as in the previous year.  The were fewer homes for sale, and yet there were more homes that sold in 2007 than 2006.

This certainly sounds like a fairly robust market to me!  Especially when you compare it to all the negative news media reports about how down and dour real estate is.

Once again, information like this proves that all real estate is VERY LOCAL, and that the media that continues to harp on a 'national real estate market' really need to get a clue and understand that there is NO SUCH THING. 

It's really very important for consumers to speak to a local real estate expert, and disregard the broad brush the news continues to paint all of us with.  We have good news in the real estate industry right here in our own backyard!



Dover is just northwest of Portsmouth, and actually has a larger population base than Portsmouth does.  The University of NH is in the next town over, in Durham.  The downtown area of Dover is a great walking area, with a number of restaurants and shops to visit, as well as a waterfront park where all kinds of fun entertainment and community events are held.
