Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Portsmouth’s rolling three-month data through May 2026 shows notable shifts from a year ago. Typical home values are down about 16% year over year, and median list prices have fallen roughly 14%, signaling softer pricing than last spring. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list price has declined to about 18%, well below last year’s levels.
Looking at the latest three-month window, inventory and activity have both picked up. Active listings are roughly flat year over year but have climbed more than 30% compared with the prior three-month period, while new listings are up about 11% year over year and nearly 50% month over month. Homes sold rose around 5% year over year, and pending sales are up just over 8%, suggesting buyer demand is still present even as prices ease.
Conditions on the ground reflect a market that is less frenzied but still leans toward sellers. Months of supply sits at 3.2, higher than a year ago yet consistent with a seller’s market, and homes take a median of 44 days to go under contract, far longer than last year even though more than half go off the market within two weeks. With sale-to-list ratios just under 99%, pricing strategy and negotiation remain important. Buyers and sellers in Portsmouth can both benefit from having a skilled local agent, and Agent Pronto can help connect them with the right professional for their needs.

“Great real estate experience with Charlotte. I recently had the pleasure of working with Charlotte as my realtor, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her outstanding service throughout the entire home buying process. From our initial meeting to the closing day, Charlotte demonstrated a level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication that greatly met my expectations. One of Charlotte's standout qualities is her extensive knowledge of the local real estate market. She took the time to understand my preferences and priorities, providing valuable insights into neighborhoods, property values, and future market trends. Her expertise not only streamlined the decision-making process but also ensured that I made informed choices.”

“Joanne was exceptional in doing her due dligence to provide me with the smoothest experience in selling my home. Since I was living in another State, Joanne did a commendable job handling all aspects of the process. She would always offer to take care of a matter for me so I wouldnt have to be there physically to deal with it. If I asked her if she could take care of something for me, she did it selflessly and without question. For example, since the home was part of a Condo Association, she met with and picked up in her own car one of the other Trustees to have a document signed and notarized. She also managed arrangements to have all of the smoke detectors replaced so they would pass inspections, just so I did not have to physically be there myself. Without reservation, I recommend to anyone in need of a Realtor, to pick Joanne Tassoni. You wont be disappointed.”
