Savings Bank of Walpole has announced plans to open a new branch in Winchester, its sixth in Cheshire County.

The bank has filed applications with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and New Hampshire Banking Department to open a branch at the recently vacated TD Bank location next to Kulick’s Market.

“TD Bank’s departure left Winchester without a bank, and we immediately began hearing from businesses, individuals and town officials asking Savings Bank of Walpole to consider opening a branch in Winchester” said Mark Bodin, president of the bank. “The Monadnock Region is our home, and we felt a sense of duty to explore how we can expand to serve Winchester and the surrounding area.”

He said support from the businesses, residents and town leadership “played a big role in our decision to move forward.”

Savings Bank of Walpole plans to begin work on renovating the branch this summer with an expected opening around Labor Day.

Would lower interest rates help NH’s real estate market?

As New Hampshire’s residential real estate market continues to trundle along — with an all-time high median price of $565,000 recorded in June for a single-family house — one spot of relief could be lower interest rates. That’s what President Donald Trump and officials in his administration are advocating. But Susan Cole, president of the New Hampshire Association of Realtors, cautions: Lower rates from the Fed isn’t a guarantee of lower mortgage rates.
