Hampstead NH Home Sales from May ’09 vs ’10

I just wrote a post over on our NH REALTY SCOOPS website about home sales in Hampstead, NH from May 2009 versus the sales in May 2010.

Due to the tax credit being extended back in late ’09 it sure did help sales this spring. But, so far this 2nd quarter sales have slacked off and it  should be interesting compared to the 2nd quarter of last year.

Look for the first half year stats in the first week of July.

Our new grand-daughter Paige Ondine Gosselin! Born at 11:21pm 3/15/2010 7lbs 7.4 oz. I got to hold her Friday afternoon March 19th. She is the cutest little girl with her full head of nice dark hair.

In memory of my step-brother Patrick Powers

I was eleven years old and I remember it like it was yesterday. Bill Powers was having dinner at our house in Watertown, Mass. when he received a phone call that his house was on fire.  We learned that his son Paul who was 4 years old had taken a lit candle into a closet and burned the house down.

The following year Bill’s ex-wife had taken ill and was now unable to take care of their three boys, Peter, Paul and Patrick. Peter moved in with my cousins and lived with them. Paul went to Canada and lived with his mother’s relatives and Patrick moved in with us. Two years later my mother and Bill married and now Patrick was part of our family.
