How the New Hampshire Real Estate Market Is Heating Up This Summer.

It’s not your imagination, this summer’s real estate market in New Hampshire is moving fast, tightening up, and getting even more competitive. If you’ve been wondering whether it’s the right time to buy, sell, or invest, the short answer is it depends, but opportunity is everywhere if you know where to look.

The data from PrimeMLS tells a clear story: inventory is still low, demand remains high, and homes are going under contract faster than most buyers can say “pre-approval.” In fact, across much of the state, days on market have dropped, especially for well-priced, move-in-ready homes. Multiple offers are common again, and bidding wars, while not as intense as the 2021 frenzy, are back on the table for desirable properties.

So, what’s behind the surge?

The New Hampshire Association of REALTORS® reports that median home prices are holding steady after a slight dip last fall, and some counties are seeing price increases again. Combine that with a wave of buyers fleeing overheated urban markets and interest rates stabilizing just enough to get people off the fence, and you’ve got a recipe for a competitive summer.

Sellers are stepping back in, but not fast enough to meet demand. We're still in a seller’s market, and homes in the $350K–$600K range are especially hot. If you’re thinking about listing, this is the moment to shine. Well-staged, properly priced homes are flying off the shelves, often within a week.

Buyers, meanwhile, need to bring their A-game. That means getting pre-approved, moving quickly, and working with a local expert who knows how to craft a compelling offer and navigate today’s faster-paced transactions.
