Board Reports Modest October Sales Gain Across The New Hampshire Seacoast

PORTSMOUTH, NH — October sales of single-family homes and condominiums in 13 Seacoast towns posted modest gains from 2025, according to monthly statistics released by the Seacoast Board of Realtors.

Single-family home sales rose 5.4 percent from October 2025, with 78 transactions recorded across the 13-town area. The median sale price for those homes was $791,250, down 8.9 percent from last year and the lowest monthly median so far this year since February. The board reported October inventory for single-family homes was at its highest level since 2019.

The market covered Exeter, Greenland, Hampton, Hampton Falls, New Castle, Newfields, Newington, North Hampton, Newmarket, Portsmouth, Rye, Seabrook, and Stratham.

The biggest single-family sale in October was in Portsmouth at 395 Little Harbor Road, where the property sold for $5.1 million, or $100,000 under list price. The 2,149-square-foot home has four bedrooms and three baths and sits on 0.95 acres of Little Harbor waterfront land. The report described the property as a multi-level structure with sweeping Little Harbor views.

“Sales prices and volume are not as ‘flashy’ as we have seen in the past,” said Seacoast Board of Realtors President Ryan Kaplan. “But considering where the real estate market is on a national level, the Seacoast market, once again, performs very well.”

Year-to-date, single-family sales were essentially flat, up 0.6 percent, while the median price reached $875,000, up 2.9 percent, according to the board.

The condominium market also showed stronger inventory than in recent years. October condo inventory reached its highest October level since 2019, and 54 sales closed during the month. That marked a 10.2 percent increase from October 2025. The median condominium sale price was $594,500, up 17 percent from last year.

Portsmouth had the top three condominium sales for the month.

The highest was 24 Porter St., a 2,850-square-foot unit with three bedrooms and two baths that sold for $2,775,000 on a list price of $2,830,000.

The latest report points to a market with more available listings than the region has seen in October for several years, alongside continued sales activity in both major housing categories.
