There’s always one property that sticks with you, no matter how many homes you’ve seen. For me, it’s the House on Lost Acres, a place so mysterious it seemed to have vanished from records long before I arrived. My buyers were captivated by its charm—a stunning old estate hidden deep in the woods, full of history and intrigue. But the story behind the house was even more mysterious than its hidden location.
As I dug into the property’s title history, I discovered that it was... missing. No official documentation had been filed in decades. It was as if the house had fallen off the map, leaving behind a trail of rumors—family disputes, lost heirs, and an ownership that was as elusive as the property itself.
In the end, my buyers and I had to walk away, unable to claim a house whose title was lost in the shadows of history. To this day, I wonder if anyone will ever be able to reclaim the House on Lost Acres.
This experience taught me that a clear ti. ...

New Hampshire’s housing market is all over the national news, with record-breaking stats like 57.8% of homes selling above asking price over the last five years—almost double the national average. It's a number that grabs headlines, but behind it is a more complex story. Yes, the market is hot, and Manchester, in particular, has claimed the title of the hottest housing market in the U.S. for a record 29th time. But as someone who’s worked globally in real estate for over 24 years, I see this market in a way many don’t: it’s ripe for disruption, and unless things change, the same forces driving prices up will end up hurting the very people who keep this state running.
The Price of Success: What Happens When No One Can Afford to Live Here?
There’s no question that New Hampshire’s real estate market is booming. The state boasts a 76.4% increase in median home prices over the last five years, the second highest in the nation, just behind . ...
