What’s Happening in the Moultonborough New Hampshire Housing Market? – January 9, 2026 Update

Seller’s Perspective

• Strong Pricing Power: Homes are selling at an average of 97.2% of their final list price, indicating minimal discounting. This suggests pricing remains strong and buyers are willing to pay close to asking.
• Low Inventory: The months supply of inventory is just 1.3, which is well below a balanced market (typically 5-6 months). This signals a seller’s market with limited competition.
• Quick Sales: Average days on market for sold properties is 79, and the median is 63—homes are moving relatively quickly, especially for higher price points.
• Pending Activity: The pending ratio is 13%, showing steady buyer activity compared to active listings. However, this is not an extremely hot market, so strategic pricing and presentation are still important.
• High-End Market: There’s robust activity in the $1M+ segment, with strong average sale prices and reasonable time on market.

Advice: Sellers can expect solid demand and pricing, but should ensure their home is well-presented and priced correctly to maximize interest and minimize time on market.

Buyer’s Perspective

• Limited Choices: Inventory is tight, meaning fewer options and more competition for desirable properties.
• Negotiation Room is Slim: With homes selling at 97.2% of final list price and only a slight drop from original list price, buyers shouldn’t expect significant discounts.
• Act Fast: The average and median DOM for sold properties are under three months, so buyers should be prepared to move quickly when a suitable property appears.
• Segment Variation: The lower price segments ($0–500k) have very little inventory and sales, while the $1M+ range is more active, so opportunities may differ depending on budget.
• Pending/Sold Trends: Steady sales volume (average 12 closings/month) means properties are moving, reinforcing the need for readiness and pre-approval.

Advice: Buyers should be decisive, have financing in order, and be prepared for competitive offers, especially in the most active price bands.
