Belknap County Market Update 1/13/2026 - are we really in a balanced market -
Belknap County’s real estate market continues to show strength, but with a noticeably more balanced feel than the ultra-competitive years many buyers and sellers remember. Over the past six months, the market has averaged approximately 113 closings per month, supported by around 309 active listings. With a months’ supply of inventory sitting at 2.7, conditions still lean toward sellers — though buyers now have more breathing room.
Pricing trends reinforce this stability. Active listings average about $820,000, while pending properties come in lower at roughly $620,000, indicating buyers are exercising more discretion. Closed sales have averaged $639,469 and are selling at 97.8% of their final list price, showing that well-positioned homes are still commanding strong value without excessive overbidding.
Days on market tell an important story. Active listings are averaging just over 100 days, while sold homes are moving in closer to 69 days. The takeaway is clear: homes that are priced correctly and presented well are selling, while others may linger. This gap highlights the growing importance of pricing strategy and market timing.
The range of opportunities in Belknap County remains wide — from the least expensive single-family home currently listed at $90,000 in Belmont to a $16.95 million waterfront estate in Meredith. Whether you’re buying or selling, understanding where your property fits within this spectrum is key to making confident decisions in today’s market.
