🏡 If you’ve been wondering “What’s next” — here’s your fast-track guide on what’s happening right now in the New England real estate market based off the latest analytical data. 👇

🍁 Fall 2025 - UPDATE

Across our region, local dynamics (supply constraints, remote-work migration, affordability pressure, and shifting suburban demand) are driving some distinctive patterns. Below is a snapshot on whats heating up the New England real estate market right now.

🔑 Key Trends

💲Prices Continue to Climb — But More Moderately 🐢

Rising prices remain a theme, but the pace has cooled compared to earlier post-pandemic spikes. Some markets are now leaning toward steadier, less volatile appreciation.

🏘️ Inventory Is Slowly Increasing - Easing Some Pressure For Buyers 🧘‍♀️

Across New England, listings are growing in many suburban areas around Boston, though the region still remains below pre-pandemic inventory levels in many desirable ZIP-CODES. Buyers are getting a bit more breathing space — but inventory isn’t quite abundant enough just yet.

📍Regional “Hotspots” - Buyer Value Opportunities 🎰

REALTOR.COM pegged the Manchester – Nashua, NH area as one of the country’s HOTTEST ZIP CODES in 2025 - applauding its relative AFFORDABILITY in comparison to other local metros & communities.

💸 Home Value Growth - Financial Stability ⚖️

Recent reports consistently reiterate New England remains STRONG nationwide when it comes to HOME PRICE GROWTH!

Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist says, “Home buyers are in the best position in more than five years to find the right home and negotiate for a better price. Current inventory is at its highest since May 2020, during the COVID lockdown. Housing affordability is inching up and wage growth is now comfortably outpacing home price growth, and buyers have more choices. But home sellers shouldn’t fret: Most are still faring well financially, and no major market declines appear on the horizon”.

⚖️ Shifting Balance: Toward a More Neutral Market 📊

Several expert analysts believe New England is gradually shifting toward a more balanced market that will be less extreme in favor of sellers. With more homes available for sale, buyers are finding room for negotiation, and getting more attractive contract terms, all in their favor.

This suggests the need for Sellers to do the following:

List PRECISELY on PRICING
PREPARE in time before listing hits in MLS
LIST within optimal TIMING - paying extra close attention to the current climate - both literally & figuratively.

🔮 So What’s Next? 🤔

If you’re a SELLER - now may be a good time to list your home for sale. Sale prices are still strong, buyer enthusiasm & energy is still present — but DON’T OVERPRICE!
If you’re a BUYER - now you may be able to lean into more favorable negotiating power than in recent years.
For those INVESTING - watch listing inventory growth and supply vs. demand trends closely — as they may be early indicators of shifting momentum in your desired areas of interest.
EXTERNAL FACTORS such as; mortgage rates, macroeconomic stability, local zoning & municipal building policies all play a role in whether buyer momentum picks up further.
Continued modest PRICE GROWTH is expected across New England.
