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

Seller’s Perspective

• Pricing Power: Homes are selling very close to their final list price, with an average sale-to-final-list price ratio of 99.1%. This indicates that well-priced homes are attracting serious buyers and sellers are retaining most of their asking price.
• Market Pace: The average days on market (DOM) for sold properties is 48 days, which is moderate—homes are moving, but not flying off the shelf. Active listings are seeing a slightly higher DOM at 70 days, suggesting that newer, well-priced listings are more likely to move quickly.
• Inventory: Months supply of inventory is 3.2, which leans toward a balanced market but still gives sellers a slight edge. There’s enough demand to keep things moving, but not so little inventory that buyers are desperate.
• Pending Activity: The pending ratio is 11%, meaning there are about 4 pending sales for every 38 active listings. This is relatively low, indicating steady but not overwhelming buyer activity—competition exists, but sellers need to be strategic.

Buyer’s Perspective

• Negotiation Room: With homes selling at 99.1% of final list price and 97.7% of original list price, there’s limited but some room for negotiation, especially on properties that have been on the market longer.
• Inventory Choices: With 38 active listings and 3.2 months of supply, buyers have options, especially in the $200k–$500k segment, which represents the bulk of the market activity.
• Market Speed: Buyers have time to consider options, as the average DOM is not excessively low. However, the best-priced homes can still move quickly, so readiness is key for top properties.
• Price Trends: The average sale price over the last 6 months is $398,379, with the average final list price at $403,227. Prices have remained stable, so buyers shouldn’t expect dramatic discounts but can feel confident about price consistency.

Key Takeaways

• For sellers: Proper pricing and presentation are critical. Homes priced right are selling close to ask, but overpricing leads to longer market times.

For buyers: There is reasonable inventory and some negotiation power, but the market is balanced enough that waiting for big price drops may not be productive.
