Months supply measures how long the current inventory of homes would take to sell at the present sales pace. Six months of inventory is generally considered a balanced housing market, where buyers and sellers have roughly equal negotiating power.

This past summer, New Hampshire averaged 2.8 months of inventory statewide, but market conditions varied significantly across the state—from just 1.7 months in Hillsborough County, reflecting a strong seller’s market, to 7 months in Coos County, indicating a slight buyer’s market.

Even within individual counties, months supply can vary considerably from town to town. That is why buyers and sellers should speak with a local REALTOR® to better understand market conditions in their community and neighborhoods.

PS Carroll County is at 4.4 months of supply

New Hampshire’s summer housing market was hot. The median sales price of a single-family home reached $575,000 from June through August, up 3.6% from the summer of 2025. And despite rising prices, buyers remained active, with closed sales increasing by more than 8%.

Some communities saw even sharper price gains. Among municipalities with at least 50 sales, Laconia led the way with an increase of more than 16%, followed by Dover and Goffstown at 14%.

But the story wasn’t the same everywhere. Hudson, Keene and Portsmouth all recorded lower median prices than last summer. Even with a 2.4% decline, however, Portsmouth’s median sales price remained $912,500.

It’s a good reminder that real estate is local. Market conditions can vary significantly from one community to the next—and from season to season. Whether you’re buying or selling, a local REALTOR® can help you understand what’s happening in your market.

In the summer of 2019, there were 4,935 single-family homes for sale across New Hampshire. During the same period in 2026? Just 2,781.

That’s a 44% decline in available homes. This persistent shortage of inventory has been a significant factor in pushing New Hampshire’s median sales price to $580,000.

And some counties have seen even steeper declines since 2019: Sullivan County down 52% while Cheshire and Hillsborough Counties are down 50%

Even Coös County, which experienced the smallest decline, is down 32%, followed by Carroll and Belknap counties.

More homes may be coming onto the market, up 15% from 2025, but New Hampshire remains a long way from the inventory levels we had before the pandemic.

Housing markets and inventory can vary town-by-town, neighborhood-by-neighborood so consult a local REALTOR before buying or selling

New Hampshire's housing market reached another milestone in July as the median sales price for single-family homes climbed to an all-time record of $580,000, a 5.5 percent increase compared to June 2025, according to the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS®.

Despite mortgage rates remaining elevated, the market continued to demonstrate surprising strength. New Hampshire REALTORS® reported 1,532 closed sales during the month, a 10.4 percent increase over one year ago, while pending sales also rose 7.2 percent, signaling continued buyer demand and suggesting closed sales may remain strong in the months ahead.

The number of homes available for sale in July reached 2,992, the highest level since the COVID-19 pandemic and 15.6 percent higher than July 2025. While the increase in inventory is encouraging and provides buyers with more choices than they have had in several years, it remains well below what is needed to meet demand across the state.

Single-family home construction is moving in the wrong direction, according to a report released this week by the NH Department of Business and Economic Affairs.

Since 2020, permits are down 20% — while median sales price is up 60% during the same period. Supply is not keeping up with demand, driving prices higher. NHAR advocates to remove unnecessary and unreasonable municipal zoning barriers to housing construction.

Fewer homes = higher costs and less affordability.
