New Hampshire Housing Market 2026: Prices, Sales & Trends
What homes actually sell for in New Hampshire: a median closed sale price of $505,000 across 15,263 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, plus the state's largest markets by volume.
New Hampshire's median closed sale price is $505,000, measured across 15,263 closings Resideline tracked statewide over the last six months, as of September 2026. These are closings we track directly, a measured sample rather than a complete state record, which is why we can show the detail below at all. A statewide median hides how far apart New Hampshire's markets sit. Among its highest-volume markets, Portsmouth carries the highest median and Concord the lowest. That gap is the reason a state figure belongs in a market briefing rather than in an offer: it describes the middle of the distribution, not a price you can underwrite against.

New Hampshire markets measured over the last 12 months
These New Hampshire markets close too few sales for a six-month figure to be worth publishing, so their count and median cover the last 12 months instead. A longer window collects more sales, so these counts are not comparable with the six-month table above and are not ranked against it.
| Market | Closings tracked, last 12 months | Median closed sale |
|---|---|---|
| Exeter | 314 | $483,500 |
Volume matters as much as price here. Higher transaction volume generally provides more potential comparable sales, although the usable set for a specific property still depends on property type, size, condition, location and recency.

How to price a specific New Hampshire property
Work from the closings, not from the state number. Start with sales of the same property type inside a tight radius, match size and condition before you widen anything, and treat the figures above as a sanity check on the answer rather than as the answer. A statewide median is useful for spotting which markets deserve attention; it will mis-price an individual address in either direction.
Run any New Hampshire address through Resideline and you will get the local comparable set and the property's value together, in one report.
