The consequences of not having car insurance is that you're wholly liable for any damages incurred by your uninsured vehicle. This can be up to and including losing your license until reparations are satisfied and requiring insurance on your license when you get reinstated. So yes, not required but HIGHLY ADVISABLE 😉 Also the key to getting along with the lifelong residents, and this is coming from someone who's parents assimilated into a small town. Remember why you decided to live here. The "lifers" are here because they absolutely love this state. We wouldn't change a thing. If you start yearning for things like town water/septic or sidewalks in towns that don't have them, you will face pushback. Don't try to change it into where you came from. The locals warm slowly to new people. But once you do get accepted, you are family and we will do anything to help you.

No need for A/C in our White Mountains. A generator and tractor are required at my mountain home. Property taxes can be cheap (like mine) if location is chosen carefully. Car registration is extremely high but offset by extremely cheap car insurance. More snow = more skiing!

What makes late spring so special in N.H. it is an emergence from 6 months of the darkness and cold of winter.I moved to Florida from N.H. and for me the air-conditioning season in N.H. lasts about 3 weeks.
Thanks for watching! I plan on using UA-cam shorts to show the weather year round, as those who hate winter thinks it lasts forever and those who dislike summer think the same.
That reminds me of Mannheim Germany and Tacoma, Washington where I have lived previously…it gets to a point where you can’t stand it, then it is over..lol
I lived there for 25 years. The winters are 6 months long. Starts snowing in mid November and doesn't stop until late April. The worst snowstorm I ever saw up there was 20 feet of snow dumped during one storm during the first week of May 1993. You don't see buds on the trees till June. The funniest thing about the winter up there is that every year about the third week of January (MLK Day) there's a thaw for 2 or 3 days and every year most people up there, even those who have spent their whole lives up there, forget there's always a thaw during that time of the winter. They cry climate change and government manipulation; but it happens every year and has been for centuries. Autumn is beautiful, but I think New England is the only place to be in the summer. It does get humid and hot sometimes, but it usually only lasts about 4 days.
I moved to NH from California in 2001. We have gotten by just fine with window A/C units in the bedrooms just fine. Perhaps I am different than most, but it has been a very rare summer day where a fan in family room was not sufficient to keep me comfortable. I gave up on trying to embrace winter. I tried for years. I have settled on 'enduring' it. Now that I work from home and no longer have to get up at 5:30am to clear our 200ft driveway, it is even better. I can handle the snow shovel much better after 11am. All in all the move to escape from the rent in the SF Bay Area was worth it. I have no intention of ever leaving. Yes, when we moved here the home prices were more reasonable. But if you can manage it, New Hampshire is worth it. My town has hiking trails that start just a ten minute walk from home. Yesterday was a picture perfect day [72 degrees, sunny, no humidity] and the walk was stunning.
Thanks for the comment - I agree with everything you wrote, including the snow removal later in the day. It can actually be a good workout. And I live for those perfect days that make you happy to be alive!
Hello sir. Would you mind sharing what area(s) you are in or considered? We too are originally from Cali, albeit greater Los Angeles. We moved to the rural Nashville area back in 2004 and it was a significant adjustment, but after 18 years here we've grown to enjoy it. However, we're looking to move (and possibly retire one day) to a more progressive state and New Hampshire is on our short list. We have 8 acres now, a 1200' gravel driveway, and only about 10 minutes into the city. We've got that rural feeling, but still close to civilization (almost too close though). A nearby hiking trail(s) would be fantastic! I too work from home in the IT field and solid broadband Internet is a necessity. Any suggestions on counties we should consider? Thank you and warm regards.
@@jaybrooks4242 Hi there Jay. I spent the 60's and 70's in Orange County, then spent the 80's and 90's in the SF Bay Area, then off to New Hampshire. We live in the town of Fremont about 15 miles inland from coast. The area is growing, but very slowly. NH is the least liberal of the New England states, but liberal enough. The people of New Hampshire appear to steer clear of religious and political conversation. 1 to 4 acre lots are the norm, and the newer homes with 2500 sq ft are going for about $600K. The closer you get to the coast, the more expensive it gets.
Lol good luck. You best find housing first, because the average NH landlord has about 150-200 applicants per rental (WMUR 9 News). So I hope you’re an exceptional prospect! The homeless population is steadily on the rise. And I mean working families whom you’d never suspect as homeless. The motels are full of them. Lifers are fleeing NH due to the horrific housing market. I’m one of them.
Correct, we do get all 4 seasons but............ southern and northern NH are very different. You can expect a 20 degree difference at times during all 4 seasons.
I was borned in NH and i will die here (603) all the way. Bring it on winter. But really I haven't travel much but from what I have seen so far I'm good right here. Great video keep up the good work 👍
Thank you for your video, Jenn. I grew up in Gilmanton. It couldn't have been any smaller - one blinking stoplight and one store. Played New Hampshire Youth Baseball. It's a very pretty state, and they haven't chopped down all the trees. I would call it a nonconforming state in general. Winters are freezing and never end. I mean really freezing. I live in Tucson, Arizona now, where the summer heat is extreme! Love ballroom dance. AZ is a great place for golf.
I've lived in Florida & New Hampshire. The humidity & heat in New Hampshire is NOTHING compared to most other states. Even the worst hot, humid day is still pretty comfortable.
I’m from Concord, NH. The humidity, if you live anywhere near the Merrimack River, is as bad as it gets in Florida during the summer. It gives Florida a run for it’s money. The only difference is that the humidity lasts longer in Florida. And in Florida, there are no beautiful lakes to go to have a beautiful swim in order to cool off, ( we did not have a/c back in the day, no one did). Even the ocean in Florida is warm. I like to go swimming in the ocean in the summer to get cool. My parents retired to Florida, and I hated it there. The thought of the never ending heat drove me out. I’ve lived for many years in southern Ohio. The climate is comparable to New Hampshire. We do not get as much snow, generally, but we get cutting, biting winds in the winter that are horrible. In some aspects, this is worse. And we endlessly cloudy days for months. New Hampshire was not like this. I still love my state, New Hampshire.
Thank you for this very informative video. My wife and I are visiting NH in a few weeks for the first time. We've been talking about leaving Nashville for a number of years now and NH is on the short list.
@@NHHomeandHustle Hello Jenn! My wife and I stayed for the Thanksgiving week at the Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa in Whitefield NH. The area was certainly beautiful, but I bet even more so in Spring and Fall. Our first full day we went for a casual, scenic drive and ended up over the border into Maine to pick up some goodies for the week that we couldn't get in NH. Later in the week we went into the nearby Littleton to do some shopping and have lunch at a local spot. Everyone was super friendly and the vibe is very chill. Very small town vibe. The only turn-off was the much-higher-than-expected number of Trump flags and signs. Not trying to make this political. It's just not our preferred flavor. We've lived in Middle Tennessee since 2004 and while we do really like it out here, the area has turned into a small sliver of our roots in Los Angeles. We left to escape the traffic, congestion, and city life but we've found ourselves again having to coordinate our errands around the rush hours. We're on about 10 acres in the county which is fantastic insulation against all this growth, but we're exploring options and New Hampshire is on the short list.
I like your channel. Your so honest. I'm from Des Moines, IA. We have brutal winters here... Nebraska is right next door... Midwest. Since I'm in the middle- Chicago, Wisconsin, Kansas, Michigan, there's no escape! Everywhere you turn, you encounter freezing cold temperature's...
I guess you should mention, winters ice storms. Should make sure for all four season you have a generator. Taxes property is outrageous and also many hidden taxes people do not know about. Make sure you check out everything.
There are four seasons in New Hampshire ... yeah , right! Spring? Fall? Summer..hmm Winter... its just two seasons in New Hampshire . Winter, Winter, Winter, and then a 3 month summer (June, July, August, and sometimes first 2 weeks of September) then its cold from September to May.
I should have mentioned mud-season (between Winter and Spring) and hunting season (between Fall and Winter) but overall we have the quintessential seasons - but I agree that their timing can vary and that sometimes we get a Winter night in Spring and a Summer evening in Fall, but the variety makes it fun! Thanks for watching!
We have 6 seasons up northern NH. Your basic 4 plus mud season and hunting season. Mud season is right between winter and spring. And hunting season is between fall and winter.
This just makes me want to move to NH more lol! the only part I really could take issue with here is the property tax, but being from New Jersey which has THE HIGHEST PROPERTY TAX in the country AND high income tax (top 3) AND high sales tax (top 8), I don't think I will mind the property taxes in NH 🤣
I live in Montana with no sales tax either. My parents bought a summer camp in Epping in 1919. So I am familiar with the tax situation. If people would only realize that a state gets enough money to run on. New Hampshire chooses to get all its revenue from property and meal tax (Montana doe not have a meal tax}. But we have income tax and property tax. Wyoming has a sales tax and a property tax. The point I am trying to make is New Hampshire is no different in taxes than any other state .New Hampshire has one basic source, Montana and Wyoming have two and Massachusetts has all three. I would never like to be charged a tax on a gallon of paint or any other purchase. We are all charged 100% of what it costs to rum government. Which pocket it comes from is up to the tax payer.
New Hampshire is certainly on the much lower side of overall tax burden in the Union and likely the entire world, IF you stay away from the large population centers. Regardless, this is why it's incredibly important to keep government as small as possible to justify as least as possible the taxation forced upon you.
The ethos out West is much different. People tend to be more open. Even the chairlifts tend not to have protective bars. People in Nueva Hampshire tend to be more reserved.
Strongly considering moving to NH, and I have been looking at real estate, and one of the things that struck me as odd, is after looking at at least 50 online listings, not a single house has A/C!? And only a couple had a pool. For the record, I'm looking mostly at rural homes @ $550k and under.
Thanks for the comment! I agree, it has everything to do with each individual town and their budgets, so I encourage everyone to get involved in their local politics.
Hello, I am definitely going to try to connect with you. I will be moving from NYC. I am currently submitting my resume. Next, focusing on an affordable apartment. Driving schools etc. Thank you.
Good point! The traffic is definitely inconvenient during that time, mostly on the major highways. Residents of NH know all the 'back ways' to get from here to there. Thanks for the comment!
wow, you lost me at high summer temperatures and humidity. So I am fine with the snow and cold but where then is the high heat and humidity reduced? Towns with altitude or near sea?
Thanks for watching! The heat and humidity exists, but rarely for more than a few day stretch before thunderstorms roll in and cool it down, and those sticky stretches only occur within a 2 month summer period (July/August).
Owning a second property in NH I've become very familiar with the state. Love the gun laws. Hunting regulations are very interesting as are fire permits. I'm in Henniker so we don't get crazy snow falls. I definitely recommend a generator. As far as humidity in the Summer it's not that bad, it's usually only two or three weeks during the Summer. As far as property taxes it goes by town so do your homework.
Thanks for watching! As someone who does not love the hot/humid weather I perceive summer as lasting a lot longer than a month, as I know those who hate the cold feel winter lasts forever. I plan on using UA-cam shorts to describe the weather here every week, so we'll see!
Fall's the bes t season in NH, but it does bring mobs of leaf peepers clogging the roads. Also, Keene (ny home town) has a regularly scheduled bus going around the city, as doe many of the other small cities in NH. But a car is indeed essential
I'd like to know more about living in New Hampshire when you are on disability and live in affordable housing? Plus does New Hampshire have medical insurance assistance like Massachusetts has MassHealth for instance. Thank You in advance.
We have been actively interested in a possible move to NH to be near our grandchildren. With home prices being so high, we have been hesitant since that is the main tax mechanism for NH's budget. If home prices start to settle (meaning go down in price), we would be interested in exploring this more thoroughly. We currently live in Michigan so are familiar with (and enjoy) the four seasons. I think property taxes are in line with taking up the slack since other taxes are absent. The inflated prices are such a negative now.
I am starting to see a few price reductions on active listings as well as an overall slight decline in home prices, but they will most likely not reduce to previous price points, and that is the same throughout the country. If you focus on New England though, winter can sometimes be the best time to buy as less people are wanting to move and therefore there is less competition for the homes that are on the market. I would love to experience autumn in Michigan!
Yes I have been watching the market closely and see the same thing. We ARE going to buy a house next year. We have closed on ours and are in a holding pattern.
Your average places on the planet has a 40° difference between winter and summer New Hampshire has an average of 140 degree difference between winter and summer more if you're including Mount Washington's temperatures. Secondly I've seen temperatures in Concord at 115
I’m from New Hampshire. My dad was on our roof a lot in the winter, scraping and shoveling so that we didn’t have problems with this type of thing. There were also men in our town who would do this for a living, mostly roofers who had insurance, etc… Back in the day, we generally had worse weather than nowadays. But we survived, without all the modern stuff. Its just the way it was!
Great question - the seasons are similar, with temperatures decreasing for each season as you head North in each state. ME and VT both have sales and income taxes - although ME has a lower than average sales tax, while VT also has a higher than average property tax, coming in as the fifth highest. Cars are a necessity in these states, but then you have the freedom to travel to the ocean, lakes, mountains or Boston for day trips and Canada or NYC for weekend trips. Let me know if you would like more information!
I'm from Algeria and I'm planning to travel to New Hampshire me and my husband to continue my studies their in New Hampshire s university can I get your FB count pls to ask you about living there I really don't have any ideas
Three things most people in New Hampshire own. Trucks, guns, and chainsaws. Your going to be hearing all three if you move to New Hampshire. Music to my ears 😉
Wait…. I am a lifer, I have a truck, several guns and chainsaws…. Yup… btw, the blow ins love to call the police about active shooters when I use my range on the farm; kinda funny.
This may be your home state, however, you are not native. Spring? March and April. Statistically, NH has the most snow fall in these months of the Northern states. May's average temperature is 58 degrees (Concord). A sustained 70 degrees daytime temp usually is seen around June 11th. It does get hot and humid in July and August. September proves to be comfortable, however, plan for snow around October 15th or so. You are in Manchester, yikes.
I have lived in NH all my life, but agree that everyone has a different tolerance for the weather. I like telling the anecdote that on Halloween I have worn a hula skirt one year, and layered a winter ski suit under a dress for another. Here is actual averages: www.usclimatedata.com/climate/concord/new-hampshire/united-states/usnh0045 Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! This summer a lot of people were comparing NH to a desert with Dunkin Donuts. It's amazing how we get to experience all the seasons every year!
Thanks for watching! I may approach some topics from the point of view of a homeowner in NH, but I don't discuss properties for sale or anything like that in this video. Even if you move here to just rent an apartment these 3 things are important to know!
I appreciate where you are coming from! Make sure you don't move to any of the states listed in the top 10 most expensive states though (NH is not one of them, but Massachusetts is!) worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-expensive-states-to-live-in
@@NHHomeandHustle Left Massachusetts 25 years ago and will never move back. Demographics have changed in NH as more Massachusetts residents are pouring in the State especially Southern NH.
Looking to move to NH within the next year. We have 3 little kids. We’re looking for semi rural with great schools and amenities within 1 hour drive and good high speed internet. Any suggestions?

I lived in New Hampshire back when I was 5- then moved back down to South Carolina cuz we ran out of money I remember seeing a whole ass bear walking past our house
You missed the most important detail and that is that most people in nh are really sick of all the outsiders moving in changing the state and driving up the cost of living. The general populous would prefer they don’t move here.
Hi Jay! I would rather have people living in NH that want to live here than those who don't like it and complain all the time. For everyone that relocates here, someone else is moving away - it balances out. I think it's an even number of people wanting NH to never change vs. those that want to change it. Make sure you go out and vote locally for this reason!
This lady is so far off! Winter is 6 months! Snow on the ground from November through April. Then mud and bug season before summer (Memorial Day to Labor Day)which over the past few years is cloudy/GREY and rainy 5 scattered days throughout the week. Fall is the best season hands down in NH but it’s short.
Thanks for watching! I could not imagine living in a state without a shoreline at all! What's nice is that NH made sure that everyone can enjoy the ocean by establishing a number of state park beaches. It is quite beautiful!

I'm from the Philippines, hoping to live with my family & work in New Hampshire, New England someday.
I'm here to help you make that goal a reality whenever you are ready. Do you currently have family in NH?
@@NHHomeandHustleI
Like New Hampshire! History and present
NH property taxes are low compared to CT, which also throws in high income and sales taxes.
I like your channel. Your so honest. I'm from Des Moines, IA. We have brutal winters here... Nebraska is right next door... Midwest. Since I'm in the middle- Chicago, Wisconsin, Kansas, Michigan, there's no escape! Everywhere you turn, you encounter freezing cold temperature's...
Winding roads are nice. I use to live in Troy. But they plow the roads better than MA.
Thanks for watching! As long as people keep the speed limit in mind, the winding roads are quite special.
I guess you should mention, winters ice storms. Should make sure for all four season you have a generator. Taxes property is outrageous and also many hidden taxes people do not know about. Make sure you check out everything.
Thank you for watching! What hidden taxes should we know about?
There are four seasons in New Hampshire ... yeah , right! Spring? Fall? Summer..hmm Winter... its just two seasons in New Hampshire . Winter, Winter, Winter, and then a 3 month summer (June, July, August, and sometimes first 2 weeks of September) then its cold from September to May.
I should have mentioned mud-season (between Winter and Spring) and hunting season (between Fall and Winter) but overall we have the quintessential seasons - but I agree that their timing can vary and that sometimes we get a Winter night in Spring and a Summer evening in Fall, but the variety makes it fun! Thanks for watching!
Having lived in Texas and being native NH I noticed that Texas taxes are the same as NH plus they have a high sales tax.
We have 6 seasons up northern NH. Your basic 4 plus mud season and hunting season. Mud season is right between winter and spring. And hunting season is between fall and winter.
This just makes me want to move to NH more lol! the only part I really could take issue with here is the property tax, but being from New Jersey which has THE HIGHEST PROPERTY TAX in the country AND high income tax (top 3) AND high sales tax (top 8), I don't think I will mind the property taxes in NH 🤣
Thank you so much for this video. Looking to move in a few months.
I m from Brasil!!Nice vídeo very infomaciam New Hampshire!!
Thanks for watching!
I live in Montana with no sales tax either. My parents bought a summer camp in Epping in 1919. So I am familiar with the tax situation. If people would only realize that a state gets enough money to run on. New Hampshire chooses to get all its revenue from property and meal tax (Montana doe not have a meal tax}. But we have income tax and property tax. Wyoming has a sales tax and a property tax. The point I am trying to make is New Hampshire is no different in taxes than any other state .New Hampshire has one basic source, Montana and Wyoming have two and Massachusetts has all three. I would never like to be charged a tax on a gallon of paint or any other purchase. We are all charged 100% of what it costs to rum government. Which pocket it comes from is up to the tax payer.
Thanks for the comment, that was very insightful!
Vehicle registration is another money maker for NH. A new 3/4 ton pickup truck is about 1000.00 to register the first year.
...but some states have more than they need to run on. I live in FL. I moved from KY. I pay 9K less a year in taxes.
New Hampshire is certainly on the much lower side of overall tax burden in the Union and likely the entire world, IF you stay away from the large population centers. Regardless, this is why it's incredibly important to keep government as small as possible to justify as least as possible the taxation forced upon you.
The ethos out West is much different. People tend to be more open. Even the chairlifts tend not to have protective bars. People in Nueva Hampshire tend to be more reserved.
Strongly considering moving to NH, and I have been looking at real estate, and one of the things that struck me as odd, is after looking at at least 50 online listings, not a single house has A/C!? And only a couple had a pool. For the record, I'm looking mostly at rural homes @ $550k and under.
One thing about the roads though! They are VERY well maintained!
Thanks for the comment! I agree, it has everything to do with each individual town and their budgets, so I encourage everyone to get involved in their local politics.
Hello, I am definitely going to try to connect with you. I will be moving from NYC. I am currently submitting my resume. Next, focusing on an affordable apartment. Driving schools etc. Thank you.
Please do! Just by living and working here my whole life I have contacts and resources to help when you are ready.
I notices you left your work cell number. I will shoot you a text, letting you know my area of interest. Thanks again.
I think in fall you should of brought up the out of state leaf peepers and traffic because of them.
Good point! The traffic is definitely inconvenient during that time, mostly on the major highways. Residents of NH know all the 'back ways' to get from here to there. Thanks for the comment!
@@NHHomeandHustle thank you for the content. I just found your videos while researching some obscure NH related stuff.
Thank you for the information. ❤️
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Actually, in the mid 1970's it got up to 104 degrees at night on Lake Winnepesaukee.
wow, you lost me at high summer temperatures and humidity. So I am fine with the snow and cold but where then is the high heat and humidity reduced? Towns with altitude or near sea?
Thanks for watching! The heat and humidity exists, but rarely for more than a few day stretch before thunderstorms roll in and cool it down, and those sticky stretches only occur within a 2 month summer period (July/August).
What areas are in Manchester are safe areas that offer apartment living options?
I have been wanting to move to NH for many years.
Thanks for watching! Let me know if there is any way I can help make that dream a reality.
NH is down to only 3 seasons. Winter is no longer a season there, unless you consider 40s and rain to be winter
The snow lasts at least 7 months before we get warm weather.
Owning a second property in NH I've become very familiar with the state. Love the gun laws. Hunting regulations are very interesting as are fire permits. I'm in Henniker so we don't get crazy snow falls. I definitely recommend a generator. As far as humidity in the Summer it's not that bad, it's usually only two or three weeks during the Summer. As far as property taxes it goes by town so do your homework.
Can't find your way? GPS... 😅
Might wanna download the local areas, as some areas have decidedly less than ideal coverage for mobile data.
Visit (USS)Albacore Park in Portsmouth.....She was my home from Aug. '67-May '68...
Some crazy times....arrrr
Thank you for your service! That must have been quite an exciting time!
Spring doesn’t exist here in NH. It’s goes from winter straight to summer which only last like a month max until ur back in the low 40s.
Thanks for watching! As someone who does not love the hot/humid weather I perceive summer as lasting a lot longer than a month, as I know those who hate the cold feel winter lasts forever. I plan on using UA-cam shorts to describe the weather here every week, so we'll see!
A month max?????
The weather hits in the 70's May through the end of September! It's November now, and still between 45 to 60 degrees!
I forgot to mention the ticks and Lyme disease very very bad up there
Fall's the bes
t season in NH, but it does bring mobs of leaf peepers clogging the roads. Also, Keene (ny home town) has a regularly scheduled bus going around the city, as doe many of the other small cities in NH. But a car is indeed essential
I'd like to know more about living in New Hampshire when you are on disability and live in affordable housing? Plus does New Hampshire have medical insurance assistance like Massachusetts has MassHealth for instance. Thank You in advance.
We have been actively interested in a possible move to NH to be near our grandchildren. With home prices being so high, we have been hesitant since that is the main tax mechanism for NH's budget. If home prices start to settle (meaning go down in price), we would be interested in exploring this more thoroughly. We currently live in Michigan so are familiar with (and enjoy) the four seasons. I think property taxes are in line with taking up the slack since other taxes are absent. The inflated prices are such a negative now.
I am starting to see a few price reductions on active listings as well as an overall slight decline in home prices, but they will most likely not reduce to previous price points, and that is the same throughout the country. If you focus on New England though, winter can sometimes be the best time to buy as less people are wanting to move and therefore there is less competition for the homes that are on the market. I would love to experience autumn in Michigan!
Yes I have been watching the market closely and see the same thing. We ARE going to buy a house next year. We have closed on ours and are in a holding pattern.
Your average places on the planet has a 40° difference between winter and summer New Hampshire has an average of 140 degree difference between winter and summer more if you're including Mount Washington's temperatures. Secondly I've seen temperatures in Concord at 115
When? I been here for 40 years .Haven't seen that .
So wouldn’t Vermont and Maine, add Upstate NY to the list also…
Wow thats my home state too
You forgot to mention ice dams and ceiling damage it causes 😳
That is definitely a problem in winter! Thank you for commenting.
Thank you for helping me be aware of something i didnt know was a concern!
You get that in many States that get snow..
I’m from New Hampshire. My dad was on our roof a lot in the winter, scraping and shoveling so that we didn’t have problems with this type of thing. There were also men in our town who would do this for a living, mostly roofers who had insurance, etc…
Back in the day, we generally had worse weather than nowadays. But we survived, without all the modern stuff. Its just the way it was!
Thanks 👍🌞
Property Tax is probably soo HIGH just to make up for not charging you for ins.for a vehicle insurance. Hehe.
How does this compare with VT and ME?
Great question - the seasons are similar, with temperatures decreasing for each season as you head North in each state. ME and VT both have sales and income taxes - although ME has a lower than average sales tax, while VT also has a higher than average property tax, coming in as the fifth highest. Cars are a necessity in these states, but then you have the freedom to travel to the ocean, lakes, mountains or Boston for day trips and Canada or NYC for weekend trips. Let me know if you would like more information!
I only wanted to Move there cux they don't Force you to pay cR insurance 😒
I'm from Algeria and I'm planning to travel to New Hampshire me and my husband to continue my studies their in New Hampshire s university can I get your FB count pls to ask you about living there I really don't have any ideas
Thank you for watching! You can find me on facebook here facebook.com/nhhomeandhustle
Three things most people in New Hampshire own. Trucks, guns, and chainsaws. Your going to be hearing all three if you move to New Hampshire. Music to my ears 😉
Truth! Thanks for commenting!
Wait…. I am a lifer, I have a truck, several guns and chainsaws…. Yup… btw, the blow ins love to call the police about active shooters when I use my range on the farm; kinda funny.
This may be your home state, however, you are not native. Spring? March and April. Statistically, NH has the most snow fall in these months of the Northern states. May's average temperature is 58 degrees (Concord). A sustained 70 degrees daytime temp usually is seen around June 11th. It does get hot and humid in July and August. September proves to be comfortable, however, plan for snow around October 15th or so. You are in Manchester, yikes.
I have lived in NH all my life, but agree that everyone has a different tolerance for the weather. I like telling the anecdote that on Halloween I have worn a hula skirt one year, and layered a winter ski suit under a dress for another. Here is actual averages: www.usclimatedata.com/climate/concord/new-hampshire/united-states/usnh0045
Thanks for watching!
@@NHHomeandHustle I appreciate your attention and taking the time to reply.
Property taxes are stupid high in New Hampshire.
Frost heaves
Thank you for the comment - frost heaves are quite damaging to the roads and our cars!
Lady, you got your facts wrong. It was -40 F in 2003. I remember it well.
Yes, we can get extreme weather in both directions!
From December until April New Hampshire is basically Antarctica with Dunkin Donuts.
Thanks for watching! This summer a lot of people were comparing NH to a desert with Dunkin Donuts. It's amazing how we get to experience all the seasons every year!
Property taxes, and The 2nd highest electric bills are a downer…
Agree, and electric rates are going up next month which is increasing the interest in renewable energy sources.
@@NHHomeandHustle they said they will double… Yet no one ever stops them from increasing the rates
This is more of a real estate video. She did say she was a real estate agent.
Thanks for watching! I may approach some topics from the point of view of a homeowner in NH, but I don't discuss properties for sale or anything like that in this video. Even if you move here to just rent an apartment these 3 things are important to know!
Make sure you have lots of money. I'm moving out after 25 years.
I appreciate where you are coming from! Make sure you don't move to any of the states listed in the top 10 most expensive states though (NH is not one of them, but Massachusetts is!) worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-expensive-states-to-live-in
@@NHHomeandHustle Left Massachusetts 25 years ago and will never move back. Demographics have changed in NH as more Massachusetts residents are pouring in the State especially Southern NH.
Winter tires 🙄😒
Looking to move to NH within the next year. We have 3 little kids.
We’re looking for semi rural with great schools and amenities within 1 hour drive and good high speed internet. Any suggestions?
Have you watched this video? It discusses the best small towns outside of the larger towns, which sounds like what you are looking for: ua-cam.com/video/4ljMRguuPE8/v-deo.html

I lived in New Hampshire back when I was 5- then moved back down to South Carolina cuz we ran out of money
I remember seeing a whole ass bear walking past our house
Wow! Do you remember what town you lived in? Bear sightings are more popular up North but they are everywhere and love backyard bird feeders!
@@NHHomeandHustle i can’t remember XD too young, plus we kept moving everywhere
“A whole ass bear” LMAO 😂
You missed the most important detail and that is that most people in nh are really sick of all the outsiders moving in changing the state and driving up the cost of living. The general populous would prefer they don’t move here.
Hi Jay! I would rather have people living in NH that want to live here than those who don't like it and complain all the time. For everyone that relocates here, someone else is moving away - it balances out. I think it's an even number of people wanting NH to never change vs. those that want to change it. Make sure you go out and vote locally for this reason!
Don't forget about the massive amount of ticks, Lyme Disease and all the horrible co-infections.
Ticks are a real problem, as well as mosquitos during the warmer months. Thank you for the comment!
I don’t know what all the fuss is about. People have lived in NH for centuries, and have done ok.
This lady is so far off! Winter is 6 months! Snow on the ground from November through April. Then mud and bug season before summer (Memorial Day to Labor Day)which over the past few years is cloudy/GREY and rainy 5 scattered days throughout the week. Fall is the best season hands down in NH but it’s short.
I never trust a state with the shortest coastline in the country
Thanks for watching! I could not imagine living in a state without a shoreline at all! What's nice is that NH made sure that everyone can enjoy the ocean by establishing a number of state park beaches. It is quite beautiful!
NH for many reasons is a good state to stay away from, if you must go that way, I would go to Maine...
Mud Season
Yes! That time between winter and spring....
@@NHHomeandHustle OH I know all about. I am a native Granite Stater, I lived there for the first 33 years of my life and am getting ready to move back home.
Move to Florida help us make marijuana legal
Wow! A familiar face!
Hi Bill! How'd you find me on here? Where are you nowadays?
@@NHHomeandHustle Hi Jenn! This video just randomly popped on my UA-cam page. Crazy, huh? I’m in Indianapolis. About 25 years now. Very well done videos, btw.
booo hool hoo
Being from New Hampshire and loving the state, there is 1 reason I left; Winter. I do not miss it. Not at all.
Understandable! Where did you move to?
@@NHHomeandHustle Florida. I was just in New Hampshire a few months ago. Always great to come back. The White Mountains are like a 2nd home.
