New Hampshire Real Estate Market

Rockingham County in the southeastern part of the state is considered an excellent place to live if you want a more suburban feel. Homes for sale in Rockingham County are selling at a median price of $528k. Citizens consider this a price worth paying for an area with almost no crime, proximity to beaches and mountains alike, and, best of all, a small-town vibe, despite its status as the second-most populous county in the state. Rockingham County's largest city is Portsmouth, one of the oldest seaports in the nation.

The state capital of New Hampshire is Concord, which doubles as the county seat for Merrimack County. In comparison, Merrimack County is significantly more affordable, with a median listing price in the mid-300k range. Even still, that kind of price does not mean sacrificing size or character. Houses in Merrimack County tend to be older, with all of the accompanying unique characteristics that come with age, and the median square footage of currently available real estate is 1,900 square feet.

The two largest cities in New Hampshire, Nashua and Manchester, share the county seat for Hillsborough County. Both have been nationally recognized as some of the best places to live in the country. Nashua citizens love its freedom from sales tax, extremely low crime rate, and robust job market. Similarly, if you're looking for inexpensive New Hampshire real estate, Manchester has a reputation for affordability, livability, and its high concentration of well-supported small businesses.

K-12 Schools in New Hampshire

Frequently Asked Questions About New Hampshire Real Estate

Where is the best place to live in New Hampshire?

● For families: Hanover of Grafton County is often recognized as one of the most family-friendly places to live in New Hampshire. Real estate in this area is much more expensive than many other cities in the state, but its proximity to Dartmouth College, its status as the safest place in the entire country, and the excellent public schools are all worth it to the people who choose to live there.

● For young professionals: Windham is an excellent option for young professionals, due in part to the easy access it provides to the Boston metropolitan area. The houses here are older but usually in especially good shape, and as it blossoms into a busier suburban area, it offers increasingly more opportunities for nightlife and entertainment.

● For retirees: Hampton is located along the coast and is considered one of the quietest places to live in New Hampshire. Real estate in Hampton includes traditional Cape Cod-style homes that serve as excellent places for retirees to settle down to enjoy the mild weather and the ocean views.

What kind of jobs do people have in New Hampshire?

New Hampshire was established as an important center for textiles in the 19th century, but its focus has now shifted to a more modern economic base. The largest industries in New Hampshire are real estate, professional business services such as teachers and accountants, manufacturing, government services, and health care. Its largest employer in the state, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, is located in Lebanon.

Where is the nearest commercial airport in New Hampshire?

What major landmarks/attractions are a must-see for New Hampshire?

New Hampshire has a lot to offer for those who love the outdoors. Real estate in New Hampshire is close to beaches, mountains, forests, and waterfalls, all within just a few hours' drive of each other.

New Hampshire real estate also has access to Mount Washington, one of the busiest natural attractions and the highest mountain peak in the northeastern region of the United States. Its weather extremes are almost as famous as its height; in 1934, Mount Washington recorded the fastest wind speed in history.

White Mountain National Forest offers outdoor recreation all year long, from snowshoeing and skiing in the winter to biking and horseback riding in the summer. The summer months between Memorial Day and Labor Day are an excellent time to take a trip down to Diana's Baths in North Conway, where a short hike ends in a natural waterfall and pool. Don't forget your swimsuit!

There are a few quirkier landmarks that draw visitors as well. One is Funspot, the world's largest video arcade, in Laconia, which contains some of the earliest arcade games ever made. Perhaps you want to visit Lincoln in the White Mountains, where you can stop by Clark's Bears and watch trained bears shoot hoops or eat ice cream.

When do schools in New Hampshire start this year?

New Hampshire schools start around the beginning of September, after Labor Day, and summer usually begins around mid-June.

Local Tips For New Hampshire

● Plan to save money on many of your purchases: New Hampshire does not have a state sales tax, and many local municipalities don't either.

● Be sure to try the seafood. New Hampshire is especially famous for its clam chowder.

● Sap houses are everywhere in New Hampshire. These small shacks are located near maple trees and are where maple syrup is made. In the spring, check out an event for a "sugaring off" open house, where you can watch the sap boil until it becomes maple syrup.

● The summers are humid, and the winters are long and cold. Dress accordingly!

● The kids here are smart. New Hampshire juniors and seniors routinely tie with Massachusetts for the highest SAT and ACT scores in the country.
