Raymond's average sale price ran approximately $480,000 (up 3.2% YoY), while its median sale price ran approximately $510,000 (DOWN 12.9% YoY over the same period) -- a real, disclosed same-source contradiction (base record).
Property tax runs above New Hampshire's own statewide median
Raymond's 2.19% effective property tax rate (Ownwell) runs above both the NH statewide median (1.82%) and this project's own NH statewide anchor (1.93%) (base record).
New Hampshire's real tax structure still applies
No broad-based wage-income tax, no sales tax, and (per a real 2025 repeal) no tax on interest or dividends either -- though New Hampshire's real 8.5% Meals & Rooms Tax and business-level taxes still apply (base record).
A genuinely favorable statewide homeowners-insurance picture
New Hampshire's statewide homeowners-insurance spread ($900-$1,611/year) runs well below the national average, and Raymond's inland position likely avoids the Seacoast's coastal-storm premium (base record).
