Housing remains the hottest topic in the Granite State, as industry leaders converge to discuss the future of residential real estate in New Hampshire. A recent webinar, organized by NH Business Review, offered a comprehensive look at emerging trends and challenges facing the housing market in 2025.


With record low inventories, experts from New Hampshire Housing, Kennebunk Savings Bank, and the New Hampshire Association of Realtors are pioneering creative solutions to navigate these turbulent times. They are particularly focused on legislative reforms, pathways for first-time homebuyers, and innovative financing for accessory dwelling units.


Key Highlights from the Webinar

  • First-Time Homebuyers: Experts discussed successful pathways and deal structures for new homebuyers, emphasizing the types of homes being purchased.
