Mortgage rates aren’t doing NH housing affordability any favors

The second floor was much hotter than the first floor, and their kitchen was drafty.

One of the greatest honors for me as executive councilor for District One is representing the towns around Lake Winnipesaukee, one of New Hampshire’s most stellar natural resources.
