Data presented on 6/2 shows median single-family home prices have increased by 8%. While waterfront and luxury properties ($1M+) are seeing significant sales, the $300,000–$500,000 range is becoming increasingly scarce.

This scarcity creates a bottleneck: first-time homebuyers are priced out, and seniors looking to downsize have nowhere to go. The Commission identified this 'luxury vs. mid-range' disparity as a major community issue.

The Commission also discussed streamlining Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) via pre-approved plans to cut costs, but they are pausing major initiatives until they align with the Planning Board. Stay tuned for how this affects our zoning. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/new-london/housing-commission/2026-06-02/

Longer-form draft.
At the June 2, 2026, New London Housing Commission meeting, officials highlighted a growing and concerning trend in our local real estate market: a widening gap between luxury sales and affordable options. Data presented during the meeting shows that median single-family home prices have risen by 8% compared to last year. While there is a surge in sales for high-end properties valued at over $1 million, the inventory in the $300,000 to $500,000 range is shrinking. This lack of mid-range housing makes it significantly harder for first-time homebuyers to enter the market and for seniors to find manageable homes when they want to downsize. The Commission also discussed ways to address housing variety, specifically regarding Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). There was a proposal to create a resource of pre-approved plans and vendors to help lower development costs for homeowners. However, the Commission has decided to hold off on launching these initiatives until they can coordinate directly with the Planning Board. As the market continues to shift toward high-end properties, residents should keep a close eye on how the Commission and the Planning Board work together to address the shortage of middle-income housing options. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/new-london/housing-commission/2026-06-02/ #MeetingWatch #NewLondonNH
