Permits for new housing are up in southern NH
As someone who has spent years helping clients navigate the real estate market in Southern New Hampshire, I’m seeing a notable surge in new housing permits—reaching levels we haven’t seen in two decades, especially across our southern counties. While permits have doubled since 2009, we’re still not quite up to the pace of the 1980s. The demand remains strong, with projections showing we’ll need over 40,000 new homes by 2030. With the median home price now at $510,000—meaning a household income of $161,000 is needed to qualify—understanding these trends is crucial whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or investing. My local expertise helps clients make informed decisions in this dynamic market.
