What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 279 closed sales in Derry over the last six months, with a median closing price of $449,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $365,000 and $590,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 279 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $261 and $342 per square foot.

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Derry over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $365,000 and $590,000. Among the 16 New Hampshire markets with a published band, Derry's middle-half spread ($365,000 to $590,000) ranks 5th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 42nd percentile of the 2,187 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of September 4, 2026.

How long a sale takes here

  • Listed to under contract: a median of 8 days, across 100 Derry closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
  • Contract to closing: a median of 30 days, across 91 Derry closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 279 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Derry angle

Derry's closings sit within a narrow band by the standards of the markets we track, and that narrowness is the most useful thing the data offers. $449,000 is closer to any given sale than it would be where the spread is wide, so it functions well both as a first approximation and as a test of an estimate. Still, build the comps. 279 closings supports a screen on property type and a defined size range, and a matched set does better than the midpoint for a specific address. The narrow band's real value is that it makes disagreement meaningful: when comps and $449,000 diverge sharply here, the set usually needs re-auditing. The band is not centred. From $449,000 up to $590,000 is a longer stretch than from $365,000 up to $449,000, so upper-band properties sit in the looser part of an otherwise narrow spread and warrant closer matching.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Derry address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Derry over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track across the Derry Census-designated area are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 11% of the 279 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $450,000.
