You have not mentioned two other vital aspects of a move to NH. If you are not already retired or have a decent trust fund (NH has lots of these folks) then jobs are not plentiful in other than the lower wage categories.
Secondly, though politics is not a subject appreciated on this forum, coming from liberal Oregon you if you are of that bent may find the western side of NH more to your liking. Although the lakes region does attack many from Mass and CT with thier ideas on how the rest of us should live our lives.
Your idea of renting for a year is an excellent idea. Nothing worse than finding out that it was not a good fit after buying and finding out exiting usually takes a year or more to find a buyer.
