The state's Republican-controlled legislature passed two housing bills aimed at requiring local cities to allow multifamily development on commercially zoned land, part of a years-long push to cut zoning red tape and expand housing supply.

May market numbers are in for Rockingham and Strafford County!📊

Here's what the data is telling us right now. 👇

If you're a seller, the average home is selling in less than a week. Values are strong and serious buyers are out there actively looking. If you've been thinking about listing, conditions are working in your favor.

If you're a buyer, at this pace, being prepared before you start looking isn't optional, it's everything. The buyers winning in this market are pre-approved, know what they want, and are ready to move when the right home comes up.

Summer historically brings even more activity to the NH market, so whether you're thinking about making a move this season or just want to know where you stand, now is a great time to have that conversation. 🏡

📊 Monday Housing Market Update

This week marked a significant turning point in the housing market: inventory officially flipped negative year-over-year for the first time. Here's what the data is telling us:

🏠 INVENTORY
▪️Current inventory: 795,921 homes - down from 803,479 this same week last year. That's the first negative YoY reading after a prolonged stretch of supply growth that once reached +33% YoY.
▪️Inventory is still at multiyear highs compared to 2020–2023, but the trend is now confirmed: supply is tightening

📉 MORTGAGE RATES
▪️Rates ended the week at 6.56%, within the 2026 forecast range of 5.75%–6.75%
▪️Rates never broke above 7% even during the Iran conflict spike, thanks to well-controlled mortgage spreads
▪️The 10-year yield pulled back to 4.44% after hitting a 2026 high of 4.68% on May 19

📋 DEMAND
▪️Purchase applications: flat week-over-week, but up 5% year-over-year
▪️18 of 20 weeks have been positive YoY, including 9 double-digit weeks
▪️Pending sales: 69,215 in 2026 vs. 68,071 in 2025, buyers are still active!

🏗️ NEW LISTINGS
▪️71,249 new listings this week vs. 70,414 last year -slightly ahead YoY, but still well below the historical seasonal norm of 80,000–100,000 per week
▪️Memorial Day caused a temporary dip, expect a rebound in the data next week

✂️ PRICE CUTS
▪️36.88% of listings have a price cut in 2026 vs. 38.00% last year
▪️Slight compression suggests sellers have a little more leverage nationally

⚠️ WHAT TO WATCH
Jobs report this week could push the 10-year yield up or down significantly. Rates above 6.64% historically soften housing demand. Monitor purchase apps closely!

The market is at an inflection point. Supply is tightening, demand is holding, and rates are behaving. Want to talk about what this means for your specific situation? Drop a comment or send me a message.

Still waiting for rates to drop before you buy? Here's what the data says you might be waiting into. 👇

This week's numbers tell a story worth paying attention to:

✅ Mortgage rates are sitting at 6.65%, which is higher than where they started the year, but buyers haven't gone anywhere. Pending sales are actually up compared to this time last year, and purchase applications have climbed 8% year-over-year. The demand is real.

✅ Inventory is the other piece of the story. There are more homes available than last year, but barely, we're talking less than 1% more. That gap is shrinking, not growing. Price cuts are slightly less common than they were a year ago, which means the window for negotiating is narrower than it looks.

✅ And here's what often gets lost in the headlines: wages are outpacing home prices in 2026. That hasn't always been the case, and it matters more than most people realize.

⬇️Here's the risk of waiting:

If a major geopolitical shift pushes rates lower, more buyers flood back in almost immediately. And if inventory goes negative year-over-year, you'll have fewer homes to choose from AND more competition chasing them.

The window where you have negotiating room may be closing, not opening.

You don't need a perfect rate. You need the right home at the right time with the right strategy.

📊 Monday Housing Market Update | Week of May 16-22, 2026

Rates are up. Inventory is shrinking. And buyers are still showing up.

Here's what the data is telling us this week:

✅ Mortgage rates hit a weekly high of 6.75% before closing at 6.65%. Still below year-ago levels.

✅ Active inventory sits at 794,286 homes, with year-over-year growth down to just 0.89% - nearly flat and potentially going negative soon.

✅ Pending sales came in at 79,370 vs 72,312 last year. That's nearly 10% more buyers under contract year-over-year.

✅ Purchase applications are up 8% year-over-year despite a 4% week-over-week dip.

✅ New listings at 85,159 vs 83,143 last year, healthy but far from oversupplied.

✅ Price cuts are slightly less common: 36.77% this year vs 37.00% last year.

✅ 17 of 19 weeks in 2026 have shown positive year-over-year purchase application growth.

Inventory has been the biggest thing to watch lately. Going into 2026, most people expected supply to keep growing, but it’s actually started slowing down. If inventory drops year-over-year, that could start putting more pressure on home prices again.

Another major factor to watch is the potential Iran peace deal. If that happens, we could see the 10-year Treasury yield move lower, which may help bring mortgage rates closer to the mid-to-lower end of the projected 5.75%–6.75% range.

If you're thinking about buying in New Hampshire, knowing where the market is moving, and where value still exists, makes all the difference. Let's find the right fit for your budget and goals. 📲 DM me to get started.

Over the past 12 months, the median sales price for a single-family home in New Hampshire reached $540,000 — a record level statewide.

But that number only tells part of the story.
Communities like Bedford, Portsmouth, and Windham ranked among the highest-priced markets and had a lot of closed sales, while towns such as Sugar Hill, Kensington, and Center Harbor saw far fewer sales — in some cases averaging barely one closing per month. The takeaway? The New Hampshire housing market can vary dramatically town by town. Curious what homes are selling for in your town?
