The Realtors Affordability Score was just 0.57, showing that fewer than half of available listings are within reach for typical earners."
New Hampshire earned a C- with a total score of 42.2, reflecting a widening gap between housing supply and demand. The 2024 median listing price reached $572,784 while median household income was $94,929, producing a Realtors Affordability Score of 0.57 and leaving fewer than half of listings affordable to typical earners.
