Dear ,
Early on, 2025 gave buyers a flicker of hope.
More homes hit the market. Sales climbed. Price growth cooled.
But year-end data reminded us who’s still in charge.
- Median single-family price: $535,000 — a record high
- Price growth: Up 3.9% — the slowest in over a decade
- Affordability: Tied for lowest ever
So yes, activity picked up. No, the market didn’t reset. Some sellers (but not all) still hold leverage.
Inventory rose—but we’re still sitting on just a 2-month supply.
A balanced market? Needs more than double that.
Some counties—Carroll jumped 6% + and Belknap set 4.5%
Others softened slightly. But statewide, the squeeze remains.
Here’s what that means if you’re buying or selling in 2026:
This isn’t a market to time. It’s a market to understand.
Because when homes move fast and prices climb slowly, knowledge becomes your edge:
- Buyers: You need to know where you can negotiate, and where you absolutely can’t.
- Sellers: You need to know how to price confidently without leaving money on the table.
Every town. Every lake. Every price band tells a different story.
That’s where strategy comes in.
And it’s what I’m here for.
The Big Elephant in the Room Question Everyone’s Asking me: and 2026?
The honest answer?
Nobody knows.
Not with the uncertainty we’re seeing in the economy, markets, and in global events.
But I do know this:
I’ve been doing this since 2014, through ups, downs, and everything in between—and New Hampshire holds.
We’re a small State. Quiet. Tucked away. And still, demand never seems to let up. The NH Lakes Region: there's just nothing like it.
People want to live here. To stay here. To own something real here.
And that desire has always outpaced supply.
Unless we see something truly unexpected, that won’t change.
If you're buying here and planning to hold for 5–7 years or more?
You're making one of the more resilient real estate decisions in the country.
And that’s not speculation.
That’s just how New Hampshire works.
