As New Hampshire grapples with its housing shortage, legislators at the state and federal levels have moved to increase the supply by tempering zoning regulations, adjusting funding programs and encouraging new development. Meanwhile, home prices continue to rise, interest rates remain high, and inflation nips at every gain.
What parts of the state are seeing the most success? How are local land use boards responding? And is there any relief in sight for buyers staring down a $600,000 median home price this year?
In this seminar, our panel of experts from Sheehan Phinney, New Hampshire Housing, and The Stabile Companies will address the latest trends on land use and development, how zoning disputes are playing out in the courts and what innovations have shown the most promise.
