In 2025, New Hampshire’s statewide median sales price increased 3.9% to $535,000. That growth, however, was far from uniform across the state’s largest cities and towns. Bedford experienced a notable 9% jump in median price, while Nashua followed closely with a 7% increase. By contrast, Rochester saw no change in its median price, and Dover recorded a 4% decline.
Among the state’s 15 largest municipalities, Portsmouth remained the most expensive market, while Keene was the most affordable.
Despite these differences in pricing, every community shares one critical challenge: a severe shortage of available homes. None of the state’s largest municipalities has more than 1.5 months of housing inventory—well below the 5 to 6 months generally considered indicative of a balanced market.
