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

Seller’s Perspective

• Market Pace: The average days on market (DOM) for active listings is 92, while recently sold properties averaged 75 DOM. This shows homes are taking about 2-3 months to sell, with some moving faster.
• Pricing Power: Sellers are achieving, on average, 96% of their final list price at sale, and about 92% of their original list price. Pricing accurately from the start is key to maximizing returns.
• Inventory & Competition: There are 19 active listings and only 1 pending, resulting in a low pending-to-active ratio (5%). Months supply is at 2, indicating a market that still slightly favors sellers, but competition is increasing.
• Recent Sale Prices: The average sale price over the last 6 months is $395,677, with the median at $364,155. If priced right, homes are still moving at strong values.

Advice:
For best results, set realistic expectations on price and be prepared for negotiations. Homes priced competitively and in good condition are still attracting buyers, but overpricing may lead to extended DOM.

Buyer’s Perspective

• Selection: Inventory is modest but not overly tight, with 19 active listings and 2 months’ supply. Buyers have some choice, especially in the $0–$500k segment.
• Negotiation Leverage: With a low pending ratio and homes selling below original list price, buyers have room to negotiate, especially on properties that have been on the market longer.
• Value Trends: The average sale-to-final-list-price ratio is 96%, suggesting that while sellers aren’t discounting heavily, there are opportunities for value, especially if you act quickly on well-priced homes.

Advice:
Act decisively on well-priced homes, but don’t hesitate to negotiate—especially if a property has been listed for over the average DOM. Watch for motivated sellers and be ready to move when the right property appears.

Key Takeaway:
Ossipee’s market is balanced but tilting slightly toward sellers. Well-prepared sellers can expect solid offers if priced right, while buyers have more room for negotiation than in a high-demand, low-inventory market.
