What’s Happening in the New Durham New Hampshire Housing Market? – December 18, 2025 Update

Seller’s Perspective

Market Activity & Demand

• The pending ratio for the overall market is 30%, indicating moderate demand, but in the $500k–$1M segment it drops to 17%, while the $1M+ segment is higher at 200% (though this is based on very low inventory and pending counts).
• Average days on market (DOM) for active listings is 69 days overall, 66 days in $500k–$1M, and 61 days in $1M+—suggesting homes take about 2 months to sell.

Pricing & Negotiability

• On average, homes are selling very close to their final list price (98.6% overall sale-to-final-list), and even slightly above in the $1M+ segment (100.9%). This shows sellers have strong pricing power, especially at the high end.
• The months’ supply of inventory is low (2.3 months overall, 4 months in $500k–$1M, and 1.4 months in $1M+), signaling a seller-favored market, particularly in the upper price tier.

Advice:
For sellers, pricing just below key thresholds and presenting the home well can attract buyers quickly, especially in the $1M+ range where competition is limited but buyers are paying close to or above asking. For $500k–$1M, expect a bit more competition and slightly longer market times.

Buyer’s Perspective

Inventory & Negotiation Power

• Inventory is tight (2.3 months overall supply), but the $500k–$1M range has a bit more breathing room (4 months supply), giving buyers slightly more leverage there.
• Sale-to-final-list ratios above 98% mean there’s limited room for negotiation, especially in the $1M+ range, where some properties even sell above list.

Market Timing

• Average sold DOM of 55 days overall (45 days in $500k–$1M, 33 days in $1M+) means buyers need to be prepared to act within 1–2 months from listing to closing.
• Fewer pending sales in the $500k–$1M band (pending ratio 17%) suggest less competition than at higher price points.

Advice:
Buyers in the $500k–$1M range can expect a bit more choice and potential to negotiate, but should still move quickly on well-priced homes. In the $1M+ segment, be prepared for limited options and to pay close to list price.

At-a-Glance Key Metrics (6-Months)

*Note: The 200% pending ratio in $1M+ is due to low sample size (just 1 active, 2 pending), so interpret with caution.

Summary:
The market at Jackman Pond Rd’s likely price point is favorable to sellers, especially above $1M. Buyers should act quickly and expect to pay near list price, with slightly more leverage in the $500k–$1M range. If you’d like a more detailed price band analysis or a shareable report, let me know!
