• New Hampshire home prices set a record, bucking a national trend (keenesentinel.com) — If you're hoping to buy in Franconia or elsewhere in Grafton County, be prepared for intense competition and record prices. New Hampshire's median single-family home price just hit $580,000, with Grafton County sales volume—covering Franconia—up more than 40 percent as limited inventory and strong demand keep the market firmly in sellers' hands.
