New Hampshire Real Estate Continues Positive Trend

    The New Hampshire Real Estate Market continues to show improvement. Home sales in August continued in an upward trend with 22 percent more sales than in August 2011 according to the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS®. 

    Homes sales in New Hampshire increased for the eighth time in eight months that home sales were at least 15 percent ahead of the 2011 pace. This brought the total number of sales to 8,413, 21 perecent head of the 6,973 sales in the first eight months of 2011. 

   For the first time in 2012, the median price was at the same level with the median price in 2011 - ($210,000 in August 2011 and in August 2012).  The median price increased in six of the state's 10 counties.  There was a 3.5 percent rise in Hillsborough County. 

   All 10 counties experience sales increases ranging from 9 percent in Grafton County to 41 percent in Sullivan County. 

   While no one can predict the future, these sales trends are welcome news. It appears that the market has been very busy during the first few weeks of fall.  We will see if these positive trends continue.
