Selling
Selling a home in New Hampshire.
A general outline of the sale process and the local conditions that influence it. This is informational and not legal, tax or financial advice.
Understand the local market
Conditions differ between regions and often between neighboring towns. Recorded sales in the immediate area are more informative than statewide averages.
Prepare the property
Repairs, systems documentation and records for wells, septic systems, heating equipment and any additions or renovations reduce friction later in the transaction.
Pricing
Pricing generally reflects recent comparable sales, current inventory, property condition and, in seasonal markets, the time of year.
Disclosure
New Hampshire sellers have specific disclosure obligations, including water supply and sewage disposal information, along with federal lead paint requirements for pre-1978 housing.
Offer review and closing
Offers are evaluated on price alongside contingencies, financing type and timeline. Title work and recording take place at the county registry of deeds.
