Look west of Exeter.
Fremont, Raymond, Auburn, towns right off of route 101. Real estate is insane around here right now though. I could sell and put some cash in my pocket but I couldn’t afford to buy anything else. Good luck. |

I wouldn't want to commute from Pittsfield to Exeter every day.
What are you looking for in terms of a house or property? Brand new cookie cutter neighborhood? Good schools? Acreage you can shoot on and a barn? City? And yeah, real estate is pretty wild around here. According to zillow my house has gone up 32% since purchasing less than four years ago. My property taxes have also increased 50% in that time frame due to rates increasing and the town reassessing. |

Im about 20 min south west of Exeter . A commute from Pitts to Exeter would be minimal traffic, but all backroads and will take about an hour in ideal conditions. Homes and rentals are in extremly high demand so bear this in mind carefully before you decide to pack your bags and move. The Raymond / Nottingham / Lee areas might offer better circumstances to your needs.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Looking for something with a few acres, but 10+ would be ideal. Room for a barn/garage is a must for long term plans. Schools are not a concern right now. I also downhill mountain bike so being near Highland mountain bike park would be awesome.
Might be worth finding a monthly Airbnb place. Not looking to buy the house that isn’t right because I’m in a pinch. A few thousand bucks up front to let me find a good place wouldn’t kill me. I will poke around west of Exeter on realtor.com. Planning on staying Friday night and taking Saturday to do some exploring. |

If you want, I can hook you up with an excellent Realtor and he's one of us. Just send me a PM and I'll send you his contact info.
He's an active member on NortheastShooters.com and helped me find my house in NH. Good luck. |

You should look at property values and real estate tax rates for the various towns you are considering buying a house in. Because of heavy reliance on property taxes for education, there are "rich towns" and "poor towns." I think Pittsfield is a "poor town", so property values will be lower, but property tax rates will be higher. I would seriously consider renting your first year in NH. The market will stabilize post-Covid.

If I could find a small apartment close the Exeter I could live with that for a while. |

Lots of good advice given here so far. My wife commutes to Exeter from Dover every day and even that can be a haul under less than ideal traffic conditions. Pittsfield would become a nightmare in the winter time and when the school buses are back on the roads.

I know where there will be a 5k sq foot old house up for sale in Derry sometime soon if the MiL would stop dragging her damn feet.

I live just down the road from Exeter. Finding property on the 101 corridor will prove difficult. It's all over-priced. I recommend heading north for land availability.

I wish you the best of luck if you attempt to buy a house in this over inflated market. A state like NH should not be experiencing a real estate boom with a net 1% migration and so many high earners leaving to places like Florida for remote work. If I were you I'd rent for 1-2 years to wait out for a market correction.

Pittsfield is not a good location if Exeter is your destination. It is convenient to Concord and Manchester. Portsmouth to a lesser extent.

Ended up cancelling the interview after looking further into the real-estate. Might make more sense when the market settles down a little.
The employer said they have this problem quite often with out of state candidates. Thanks for all the input everyone! |

And depending on the land acreage, that will be about a $8k+ annual tax bill . Derry / Londonderry tax homeowners HARD right in the ass.... so do your HOMEwork on property taxes . |

Just wish we could figure out a better way to do it instead of killing property owners. |
