The New Hampshire Trend- January sales down, prices up is also showing in the Upper Valley. These trends continue to shadow what we see in the Hanover NH, Lebanon NH, Norwich VT, Hartford VT and rest of the Upper Valley towns. We currently are seeing low inventory; meaning the number of homes for sale is currently low. With low inventory we see prices creeping higher.
