Bedford has always been a strong market. A sought after area because of location to city and schools with a country feel. As prices have fallen in this market they will bounce back in time.It's a great time to buy into the Bedford area.

A close second to Andover, Mass. Bedford has always held it's own! A Great place to raise a family. Excellent school system and shopping :)

Seems, now's the time to buy, if Bedford's at the top of the list.

Bedford's new high school is the x factor in value. It has always had a great location and quality of life

I'm not familiar with Bedford, NH, but when I have gone through it, I feel it's an upscale New Hampshire town with a very strong country feel.

I think like most areas in NH and MA we will see a turn around in the market.

Bedford has always been a nice quaint town to reside in. The values are still there based on what you get from the town. The new High School has been rated very high also.

The community has a large "stock" of newer inventory unlike towns like Amherst and Hollis.

Bedford is great area for families looking for a strong education for their children. Bedford schools were rated number one in the state just recently for their curriculum.
