To the dismay of aspiring homeowners and the delight of those looking to downsize, the average sales price of a New Hampshire house continues its upward march.
The median sales price for single-family homes hit yet another all-time record in July: $580,000, 5.5% more than June 2025, according to the New Hampshire Association of Realtors. This metric means half of homes were more expensive and half were less.
The eye-watering price isn’t deterring buyers. The Realtors group said there were 1,532 closed sales during the month, 10.4% higher than a year earlier, and pending sales also rose 7.2%.
The price does seem to be luring sellers, as the number of homes available for sale in July reached 2,992, the highest level since the COVID-19 pandemic and 16% higher than July 2025. That’s still far below the number that Realtors say would make it likely for prices to stabilize or fall.
“While recent increases in housing inventory are a positive sign, the persistent shortage of available homes, especially starter homes, continues to place upward pressure on prices,” said Josh Greenwald, president of the state’s realtors association. “The record median sales price underscores the need for continued efforts to expand New Hampshire’s housing supply through policies that encourage the construction of homes across all price points.”
Lawmakers have passed several laws this year aiming to make it easier to build certain types of housing.
Rockingham County has the highest median sale price at $710,000. The only counties
with median sales prices below $500,000 this summer have been Cheshire ($422,000), Sullivan ($425,00) and Coos ($269,000).
