Data shows it was a case of good news and bad news for New Hampshire’s housing market last year. Home sales rose by over three-point-five percent in 2024, but that was the smallest increase since 2012, which is when the country was rebounding from the Great Recession. The median sales price for a single-family home was more than 500-thousand dollars, up from the previous record of 470-thousand in 2023. However, fewer Granite Staters are able to afford a new home these days.
