The Manchester-Nashua, New Hampshire metro area ranked as February’s hottest housing market for the sixth time in the last year, according to a new report from Realtor.com. Manchester-Nashua hit number 1 for the first time in March 2021 and has been a mainstay at the top of the list ever since.
Realtor.com’s Market Hotness rankings for February take into account two aspects of the housing market: market demand (measured by unique views per property on Realtor.com) and the pace of the market (measured by the number of days a listing remains active on Realtor.com).
Overall, the report found that while the country saw home prices climb just 0.3% in February, the hottest markets saw 3.8% annual price growth. Though hot market price growth continues to outpace U.S. price growth, the report stated that the margin has narrowed significantly in recent months.
