Condos Could Be a Win for Today’s Buyers

Thinking About Buying in New Hampshire? Don’t Overlook Condos – They Might Be Exactly What You Need

Not everyone’s dream home is the biggest house on the block—and that’s perfectly okay. For many homebuyers here in New Hampshire, simplicity, affordability, and low maintenance are higher on the priority list. If that sounds like you, then let’s talk about a smart option you might not have considered: condos.

Whether you're a first-time buyer looking to break into the market or you're ready to downsize without giving up location or comfort, condos can offer the perfect balance. And right now? The condo market is especially buyer-friendly in many parts of the state.

🏘️ More Condo Inventory = More Choices for You

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), there are currently around 194,000 condos for sale across the U.S.—one of the highest numbers we’ve seen in the last three years. What that means for us here in New Hampshire: more options, less pressure.

Instead of anxiously waiting for the "right one" to hit the market or rushing to beat another buyer with an offer, you can take your time, compare properties, and find a space that truly works for your lifestyle. Looking for walkable access to downtown, lake views, or on-site amenities? This is the time to be picky.

Compared to the fast-paced market we saw back in 2022, today's condo scene offers breathing room—and opportunity.

📉 Prices Are Calming Down, and Buyers Have More Leverage

With more inventory available, many sellers are open to negotiation. That can mean better pricing or potential perks like help with closing costs—especially if you’re coming in well-prepared.

In fact, recent data from Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) shows that condo prices nationwide slipped 1.3% in June compared to last year. Over half of the 100 largest U.S. metro areas saw slight year-over-year price drops. We’re seeing signs of that here in parts of New Hampshire, too.

That shift doesn't just help your budget—it puts you in a stronger position as a buyer. More inventory plus softer prices = more room to negotiate and get terms that work in your favor.
