Behind The Numbers

This is the market I'm tracking every week.

I publish a Market Pulse report on Substack every week based on the same defined list of towns, split into three concentric rings by how close they fall to my office HUB. This page defines exactly which towns I'm tracking and why some get more attention than others.

The Weekly Report

Three rings, one defined region.

I operate from Portside Real Estate Group's Portsmouth office. The towns here are geographically closest to me, and as such receive the bulk of my attention. Each week I run an indepth analysis against a fixed set of 49 towns across the NH Seacoast and Southern Maine. I occasionally research beyond this market because I'm naturally curious, and because I choose to work with people that sometimes want to buy or sell beyond the 25 mile radius I concentrate on.

1: HUB
9 towns

Full deep-dive. Portsmouth's immediate core, both sides of the NH/ME line. Every metric, every week.

2: Inner Ring
25 towns

Key metrics. The inner ring from Seabrook/Hampton around Great Bay, through the Berwicks to Kennebunk/Kennebunkport.

3: Outer Ring
15 towns

The outer ring for wider context: towns further from the coast but still a short trip by car.

The tiered model above is meant to help you visualize how I organize the data I pull. I review data beyond 25mi as a service to the strategic partners I work with in new construction and land stewardship.

The outer ring is a deliberate "wider context" list, not a catch-all for unmatched towns. It covers a range of towns (Epping, NH ~16 mi) out to the edge of this 30-mile view (Springvale, ME ~27 mi).

What About Everywhere Else

This is my home market. It's not my only interest.

My weekly Market Pulse stays inside this map on purpose. It's small enough that I can actually know it, not just report on it. But real estate doesn't stop at a 30-mile ring, and neither do I.

I regularly work with clients buying or selling outside this area, with closed transactions as far as Cumberland ME and New London NH. I also review data beyond the 30 mi outer ring, especially when working with strategic partners in new construction and land management. A town falling outside this list doesn't mean I'm not interested, so please reach out directly. If you're looking insights in a market I don't cover on a weekly basis, I still dig into the actual data for that specific market before we talk strategy, the same way I do here.
