Hampton NH Real Estate Market Report 2010 vs 2011

January 18, 2012 By Monika McGillicuddy 1 Comment

Hampton New Hampshire

Hampton New Hampshire lies just north of the Massachusetts border on route 1 and route 1A. Easily accessible from Interstate 495 and state route 101 Hampton NH is the play land for New England residents as Hampton Beach has been a great destination for a lot of people for decades.

Childhood memories, salt in the air and walking the jetty

Even when I was a kid we visited Hampton Beach during the summer months a lot and I just loved smelling the salt air and loved the long walks at low tide and walking along the jetty wall watching the fisherman leaving and returning from their daily fishing trips.

Hampton NH Real Estate Market Report 2010 vs 2011

2011 was a decent year for Hampton NH home sales when comparing to 2010. Over all Hampton home sales were up in 2011 by 7.5% over 2010. Home sale prices were also up 2.5%.

Seabrook New Hampshire Real Estate Market Report 2011 versus 2010

Seabrook is a small New Hampshire border town that boasts a thriving Maine Street (Rte 1) with just about any kind of store imaginable, it’s location is ideal for those loving the beach life, fine dining and an easy Massachusetts commute. Seabrook beach is often referred to as a “hidden gem” and trust me when I say that phrase is so true.

NH Seacoast Area

Rte 1A ( the coastal route) north from Massachusetts winds through Seabrook and on up the NH Coastline. Seabrook only has a few miles of shore line but it is a lovely stretch of sandy beach. Seabrook real estate is very diverse from entry level housing to mega priced beach front homes. As you can see from the chart below there were 59 homes sold in 2010 compared to 56 in 2011. It will be interesting to see what 2012 brings to the Seabrook NH real estate market but all indications are that rates and sales will increase.
