There is no one indicator of housing condition, although in general, the older the housing,
the more likely it is to be in need of rehabilitation. According to the 2000 U.S. Census,
22 percent of all the housing units in the SNHPC region were more than 60 years old
(built before 1940), while another 22 percent were built within the last decade.

Recently SNHPC approved the 2010 SNHPC Housing Needs Assessment. Housing Supply for the region in 2008 was analyzed using the US Census data and NHOEP estimates.

Note: Calculations based on sample size of less than 50 are highly volatile and not considered valid.

Note: The above averages and counts were calculated from a database of all residential transactions in the region including single, two, and multi-family residential, condominiums, and manufactured homes. Figures above may vary from those reported in the SNHPC Real Estate Tracking Reports as the reports are calculated using transactions from October through September, whereas the figures above are from January to December of each year.

In an effort to track purchase price trends in the State, the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority (NHHFA) compiles residential purchase price datat on an annual basis. This data, and much more, is made available on the NHHFA website.
