What’s Happening in the Bristol New Hampshire Housing Market? – December 4, 2025 Update

Seller’s Perspective

• Low Inventory & Fast Turnover: Months supply is at just 1.7, indicating a strong seller’s market with homes selling quickly (average sold DOM: 62 days).
• Strong Sale-to-List Ratios: Sellers are achieving, on average, 97.6% of their final list price, and 94.5% of original list price. This means well-priced homes are commanding near-asking offers.
• Consistent Demand: The pending ratio sits at 12%, with about 10.2 homes closing per month, showing steady buyer activity even as inventory remains tight.
• Pricing Power: The average sale price over the last 6 months is $594,633, with a median of $475,000. Higher-end properties ($500k+) are moving, but most activity is concentrated below $500k.

Advice: For sellers, now is an excellent time to list. Well-prepared, competitively priced homes are likely to sell quickly and close to asking price.

Buyer’s Perspective

• Competitive Market: With low months supply and high sale-to-list ratios, buyers should be prepared for competition and act quickly when the right property appears.
• Price Sensitivity: While the sale-to-list ratios are high, there are still occasional opportunities for negotiation, especially on properties that have been on the market longer (average active DOM: 94 days).
• Segment Activity: The $200k–$500k range is the most active, offering the best chance for selection and turnover. Entry-level inventory (under $200k) is extremely limited.
• Strategic Offers: To succeed, buyers should present strong, clean offers, ideally close to asking price, especially for well-priced homes.

Advice: Buyers should have financing in order and be ready to move quickly. Flexibility and decisiveness will be key to securing a property in this environment.
