For the year 2011 the Wolfeboro office of Maxfield Real Estate is the number 1 office for sales out of the eight real estate offices in Wolfeboro, and the Maxfield Alton office is the number 1 real estate office in that town for 2011 sales. Heady numbers attained in an extremely competitive business, but richly deserved!

2011 Sales Report Wolfeboro & Alton Area Real Estate Companies

In Wolfeboro, Maxfield Real Estate was 45% ahead of the closest competitive real estate office in Wolfeboro. That’s a dollar volume for the Wolfeboro office of over twenty-three million dollars in combined sales over that closest competitor.

When there have been a string of difficult years in real estate sales due to the economy, why is Maxfield  Real Estate able to remain a continual leader in real estate market share of transactions? The simple answer is that working for an  independent family run company, with over 55 years in Wolfeboro, and with leadership that is “fair and balanced”, as Bill O’Reilly likes to say on FOX, has inspired exceptional people to work in the Maxfield offices.

A beautiful sunset looking across Lake Winnipesaukee from Tuftonboro Neck

When I look out through the windows of my house in Tuftonboro I can see the stone walls used during the 19^th century to keep in pasture sheep and which were constructed with rocks left by the retreating Laurentide ice sheet 22,000 years ago, large shag bark hickory trees, views of the “Broads” the widest part of Lake Winnipesaukee, Rattlesnake and Diamond Islands in Alton, and the Belknap Mountains from Mount Major to Gunstock in Gilford.

It is a view that I never take for granted as I have been blessed to live in two amazing places as an adult, Jamestown Rhode Island, and Tuftonboro in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.

Having spent a significant amount of my life in music, I almost always have some style of music playing in the background. As a quick aside, last night I had the opportunity to hear Keb Mo at the Stone Mountain Arts Center in Brownsfield, Maine. The arts center is less than 1 hour from Lake Winnipesaukee. It was a tremendous concert as are all the shows I’ve seen at Stone Mountain. Today as I write this blog and as I look out my window to the west, I have been playing Jefferson Airplane’s “Surrealistic Pillow.”

Surrealistic Pillow catapulted the Jefferson Airplane into Rock & Roll History in 1967

I have the original album that I bought in 1967 when it was issued. This, their second album is rich with incredible songs, but the song whose lyrics have most often affected me when hearing them is “Comin’ Back to Me.”  As one who loves being outdoors and I admit is a bit of a romantic, two of the stanzas, “Strolling the hills overlooking the shore, I realize I’ve been here before,” along with the haunting recorder solo intertwined with the voice of vocalist Marty Balin makes me think of the many miles that I have wandered Tuftonboro Neck and though the topography never changes there are always changes in the seasons and what accompanies those seasons in light, temperature, and how all living things adapt and change as the seasons dictate.

Other lyrics of this song can bring images that do intertwine with my feelings about where I live as well as with who I live with. “The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long. The winter looked the same, as if it never had gone,” and “One begins to read between the pages of a book, The shape of sleepy music, and suddenly you’re hooked, Through the rain upon the trees, that kisses on the run.”

If you also have a song or songs that has enriched or impacts your life in some way when you hear it played, please consider sharing the title(s) and the story behind the song. If you are intrigued with life here in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire than contact us today

Buyers in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire may be wondering if they may have missed the boat when it comes to the $8,000 tax credit that ended on April 30^th. As it pertains to that credit the answer is yes, but fortunately for those buyers who are still looking there are excellent opportunities to purchase a home with the prospect of substantial savings coming to them from two areas.

First is the reality that there still exists a large inventory of properties on the market with prices that have and will remain relatively flat for some time to come. It’s the old supply and demand scenario and until supply dwindles significantly and demand heats up dramatically there will be bargains. Secondly there continues to be exceptional financing opportunities from many lending institutions for new homeowners, as well as funding programs offered through the State such as the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority who advertises that they are designed to assist low to moderate income persons obtain housing, and that they are offering the lowest mortgage interest rates in over 30 years. That just may be you trying to get into your first house.
