It probably comes as no surprise to homesellers or buyers in the area, but a recent report from Insurify, a Massachusetts-based insurance pricing comparison website, says the Manchester-Nashua single-family home market is the 11th hottest in the nation.
According to Insurify, which used Realtor.com data from January, the Manchester-Nashua area had a median home listing price of $397,950 – 17% higher than the national average of $346,162. Despite that high price tag, a single-family home in the area stays on the market for a median 49 days – 35.5% lower than the national average of 76 days.
The Manchester-Nashua area, in fact, was the only home market in the Northeast to be included on the list.
Topping the list as the hottest market was Vallejo-Fairfield in California – a state that had five of the 20 hottest markets in the rankings.
