This is the market I'm tracking weekly.
I publish a Market Pulse report on Substack every week based on the same defined list of towns, split into three tiers by how close they fall to my home office. Nothing here is a hunch. This page is that list: exactly which towns, how far from Portsmouth, and why some get more attention than others.
See the coverage map ↓Three rings, one defined region.
These are the towns that are geographically closest to me. That's why I track them. My running analysis each week looks at a fixed set of 49 towns across the NH Seacoast and Southern Maine. I occasionally look beyond this hyper-local core because 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.
Full deep-dive. Portsmouth's immediate core, both sides of the NH/ME line. Every metric, every week.
Key metrics. The Dover/Durham corridor, the Hamptons, and coastal Maine out to Kennebunkport.
Wider context. The towns just past the core, some closer in than half of Tier 2, out to the edge of this 30-mile view.
The tier numbers above are shorthand I use to organize the data pull. You'll never see them in a report, a listing conversation, or anything with your name on it.

Tier 3 is a deliberate "wider context" list, not a catch-all for unmatched towns. It ranges from places closer in than most of Tier 2 (Epping, ~16 mi) out to the edge of this 30-mile view (Springvale, ~27 mi).
This is my 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. A town falling outside this list doesn't mean I'm not interested, it's just outside this report's scope. If you're looking somewhere 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.
