After the Peak…
After the Peak…
It’s the week after the peak, and most of the leaf peepers are back in NY or Boston or Chicago or London with happy memories of Mt. Washington Valley. For those of us fortunate enough to live here, the foliage is still glorious. Tenacious leaves are hanging on for a few more days or, if we’re lucky, weeks. It’s a lovely, quiet time in the Valley. Less traffic and fewer visitors make it pleasant and relaxing to search for that vacation home or condo you’ve thought about. And as the falling leaves reveal summer-hidden mountain views, exploring land for sale is easier, as well.
Need more incentive? Interest rates remain low, listings are plentiful and expectations are high for a terrific ski season.
