Mortgage rates aren’t doing NH housing affordability any favors

A new study shows that New Hampshire ranks ninth among states where residential mortgages are rising the fastest. The news doesn’t help ease the myriad concerns associated with the state’s ongoing housing crisis.

Trouble on the home front

Permitting and construction of new homes is up, but it’s still at historic lows and not enough to keep up with demand. The recent housing production is mostly single-family, with a smattering of multi-family developments but relatively few duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes.

Higher density cited as a solution to curb cost of new housing

Ask a developer about the best way to bring down the cost of new housing in New Hampshire, and he’ll tell you it’s allowing more density. That was the case Sept. 17 when New Hampshire Business Review (NHBR) hosted a webinar on housing that included Eric Jackson from the Stabile Companies, a housing developer/builder based in Nashua.

It's Worth Knowing: An aging state faces challenges with its senior population

It's still a fact in 2026 that New Hampshire has the second oldest population in the United States — 43.4 median age — tied with Vermont and topped only by Maine. Most senior citizens in New Hampshire say it's a great place to retire. But it depends on life's circumstances.

Jaffrey couple cut energy costs with NHSaves

Evan Clements and Precia Harthcock of Jaffrey love their 1926 home, but they acknowledge the drawbacks of houses built in that era.

The second floor was much hotter than the first floor, and their kitchen was drafty.

(Opinion) Camping for kids should be priority for the state

One of the greatest honors for me as executive councilor for District One is representing the towns around Lake Winnipesaukee, one of New Hampshire’s most stellar natural resources.
