The New Hampshire housing market continues to indicate signs of a real recovery.  In October of this year, home sales continued an upward trend and the prices were up for the second month in a row.

From October 2011 to October 2012, the median sales price of homes in New Hampshire increased by 11.6 percent, from $190,000 to $212,000.  Every month in 2012 there has been increase in unit sales compared to the same month in 2011.

In the month of September 2012, the median sales price was $199,900. The 6 percent increase in median home prices over the month was the largest monthly increase in New Hampshire in almost five years (2008).

In October of 2012, there were 272 homes sold, compared to 217 homes sold in October of 2011.  This is an increase of 25.3 percent.

In Hillsborough County, the number of home sales year-to-date from October 2011 to October 2012 increased from 2,308 to 2,802, which is a 21.4 percent increase.

The inventory is low compared to this time of the year in 2012 and foreclosures and short are declining as well.

It looks like the New Hampshire Housing Market is on the road to recovery and this is good news for both buyers and sellers

New Hampshire was named the Most Livable State in America 

(6th year in a row!)

New Hampshire is the Safest State in America, 2010

New Hampshire is  Third Healthiest State in America!

New Hampshire is the Best place in the US for children to live!

The interest rates continue to remain historically low, and homes remain more affordable, making it a good time to buy.  Sellers in Southern New Hampshire who prepare their homes and price them for the current market are selling their homes more quickly and in some cases, are getting multiple offers.  If you would like to know if it is a good time to buy or sell, please contact met and I will be happy to discuss how I might be able to assist YOU.  603-566-1715 or email RealEstateAgentNH@gmail.com.

Hi Joan,

I agree with Hannah about the positive aspects of your NH Real Estate Market Report. We're seeing similar positive signs here too and expect it to continue through next year...at least that's what our signs point to.

As for inventory, we're down here too, we're almost at an ALL TIME LOW here, I've only seen it slightly less once in 30 years when it comes to the number of available residential properties for sale in my somewhat small community. Comparatively, we're probably at less, because at that time we had fewer homes in the city.

Joan, the market reports from you area continue to get better every month.  And I love the stats about New Hampshire.

  • Most liveable state
  • Safest state
  • Third Healthiest state
  • Best place to raise children

And who wouldn't want to raise healthy kids in safe state. 

Happy Thanksgiving, Joan.
