The Secret to Finding the Perfect New Hampshire Home

New Hampshire is a great choice for focusing your new home search, whether you have a large family that seeks a cape in a great school district, or are a single professional looking for access to a vibrant community to stay, work and play. Verani Realty's online property search catalog can help you begin browsing available inventory instantly. But how do you use it to search for New Hampshire homes that fit your needs? Our relocation specialists recommend starting with these key questions.

What is your ideal environment?

While location is the obvious first question, also consider proximity to neighboring homes, tolerance for traffic, access to community services and transportation, and special features such as waterfront access or age-restrictions. Do you want a new home in a 55+development with a homeowners association, or would your family prefer rolling acreage for backyard farming and Frisbee? What do you want to see when you look out your new bedroom window?

How far are you willing to travel for work?

As a bedroom community for Boston, New Hampshire has well-connected highways and public transportation options that make commuting easier than you might expect. Rather than centering a search for New Hampshire homes on a specific town, search by one of the state’s 10 counties. You’ll maintain many of the location-specific features important to you, but may uncover properties slightly outside your main search area that are worth the extra few miles.

What schools are of interest to your family?

A strong public education system and numerous public and private options for primary and higher education exist in New Hampshire. If a certain school district is on your list of must-haves for your NH home search, find a search tool, like Verani’s School Locator, that allows you to use school districts, or even individual schools, as search criteria.

One last tip

If you’re not using a relocation specialist to help you, searching NH homes for sale can get overwhelming. Keep track of your preferences and homes of interest with a spreadsheet or a notebook. Or, register and use our search tool, where you can save your preferences and tailor your New Hampshire real estate search to your exact specifications. You’ll be informed, save time, and be well on your way to searching for (and finding) your perfect home in New Hampshire.
