What’s Happening in the Carroll County New Hampshire Housing Market? – December 4, 2025 Update

Seller’s Perspective

• Market Activity & Demand: The pending ratio is 11%, meaning there are roughly 11 pending sales for every 100 active listings—indicating moderate demand and some competition among sellers.
• Pricing Power: Homes are selling for about 97.4% of their final list price on average, with the average sold price at $701,483. This shows sellers are achieving close to their asking prices, but there may still be some negotiation room.
• Days on Market: The average days on market for active listings is 106, but homes that sell average 72 days before going under contract. Well-priced homes are moving faster than the overall inventory.
• Inventory: Months supply of inventory is 3.3, which suggests a balanced market—not strongly favoring buyers or sellers, but leaning slightly toward sellers if demand increases.

Advice for Sellers:
Pricing competitively and ensuring your home is market-ready will help you capture buyers’ attention. Expect some negotiation, but most sellers are achieving strong prices relative to their list.

Buyer’s Perspective

• Negotiation Room: With homes selling at about 97.4% of final list price, buyers have some leverage, though deep discounts are rare.
• Inventory & Choices: With 406 active listings and 3.3 months of supply, buyers have a reasonable selection, especially in the $500k–$1M segment.
• Pace of Market: Average days on market for sold properties is 72, so buyers should be prepared to act within 2–3 months, but there’s time to conduct due diligence and negotiate.
• Price Trends: Active list prices are averaging higher than sold prices, indicating some listings may be overpriced or slow to adjust to market realities.

Advice for Buyers:
There’s a decent amount of choice, and while competition isn’t fierce, desirable homes are still moving steadily. Be ready to negotiate, but don’t expect steep price drops. Focus on value and be prepared to move when the right property appears.
