Welcome to New Hampshire Real Estate
The fourth smallest state in the nation in land area, New Hampshire has a lot of interesting history and culture packed into a small region. Although it was the 9th colony, New Hampshire was the first to declare its independence from England. It currently has the second oldest state constitution in the country (established in 1784).
New Hampshire is the site of several other significant "firsts," including the first free public library, the first alarm clock, and the first legal lottery.
The economy in New Hampshire is good, and the state's average household income is well above the national average ($65,000, compared to $60,000). The crime rate is phenomenally low (56 on an index where 100 is the national average). On the whole, one would expect residents to pay dearly for such a quality location. But New Hampshire real estate is actually quite reasonably priced, with the average home going for $197,000 during 2004.
