Sales Volume Record

New Hampshire's housing market continued its strong performance in June, with closed sales reaching their highest monthly total in four years and residential sales volume setting a new all-time record.

NEW HAMPSHIRE MONTHLY INDICATORS

The median sales price for a single-family home in June was $575,000, an increase of 1.1 percent compared to June 2025. For the second quarter of 2026, the median sales price also reached $575,000, representing a 4.8 percent increase over the same period last year.

Closed sales totaled 1,474 in June, a 12.3 percent increase from June 2025 and the highest number of homes sold in any month since 2022. The increase in sales activity translated into a record-setting month for residential real estate at over $1.01 billion – the first $1 billion month in the state’s history and a 17 percent increase from June 2025.

Buyer demand also remained exceptionally strong. Pending sales climbed 24.5 percent from a year ago to 1,717, the highest monthly total since 2021, indicating continued momentum heading into the second half of the year.

The number of homes available for sale and the number of new listings both increased modestly during June, providing buyers with more choices than they had a year ago. However, inventory remains well below historical norms. There were 2,745 homes for sale in New Hampshire during June, compared to more than 6,000 homes available in June 2019 — a 37 percent decline. 

"The New Hampshire housing market continues to demonstrate remarkable strength," said NHAR President Josh Greenwald. "While home prices remain near record levels, buyer demand has only accelerated as more inventory has become available. 

“The combination of rising closed sales, record-breaking sales volume, and the strongest pending sales in five years suggests the market remains highly active despite our affordability challenges.”

Year to date median sales growth has not been uniform across the state. While Nashua has seen single-family median sales growth of 8.3 percent over the past six months, Portsmouth has seen prices drop of 12.5 percent in that time. 

“Local markets are evolving in their own unique ways depending on available inventory,” said Greenwald. “In Concord, a city of 40,000, there were fewer than 30 homes on the market on any given day in June. A decade ago, there would have been over 90 homes in June."

"Amidst the sea of change to which the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS has played witness in its 85 years, one thing that has remained constant is the Realtor 'R' and the value we bring to every real estate transaction in which we take part. We are part of a unique community where our familial cooperation transcends our business competition. These are not mere platitudes, but our living ideals, and they are, in fact, the foundation on which we conduct ourselves in our day-to-day affairs."
