(Keeler Family Realtors – November 2025 Market Insight)

If Concord is the pulse of New Hampshire, the Lakes Region is its deep, steady breath.
It’s where weekends stretch into lifetimes, and the same people who once came for the view end up staying for the peace.

At Keeler Family Realtors, we know the path from Merrimack County northward isn’t just a drive — it’s a change in tempo. The closer you get to Lake Winnipesaukee, Squam, or Newfound, the more you understand why the region continues to outperform market predictions year after year.

Why the Lakes Region Keeps Defying Expectations

While some markets are cooling, the Lakes Region has held firm — and in many towns, even gained ground.
Inventory remains limited, but that scarcity tells its own story: people aren’t leaving.

Our team continues to see strong demand for:

• 
  

  Year-round waterfront and water-access homes in Laconia, Meredith, and Gilford

  
  


• 
  

  Newer construction and expanded ranches for retirees and relocators

  
  


• 
  

  Turnkey short-term rental properties for second-home investors

  
  

Even with fluctuating interest rates, the emotional value of “living by the lake” continues to outweigh financial hesitation.

From Vacation Spot to Everyday Address

More buyers are making the Lakes Region their primary residence — especially those with flexible or remote work.
Communities like Alton, Center Harbor, and Moultonborough have seen a notable uptick in full-time residents who once split time between here and Massachusetts.

The appeal is easy to explain but hard to replicate:

• 
  

  Morning coffee with lake views

  
  


• 
  

  Year-round recreation: boating, skiing, hiking, and culture

  
  


• 
  

  A slower pace without sacrificing sophistication

  
  

It’s no longer just where you go on weekends — it’s where you want to wake up on Mondays.

For Sellers: Visibility Is Everything

Buyers are already searching. The key is making sure they find you.
That’s where Keeler Family Realtors’ reach across Concord and Merrimack County comes into play.
We bridge the state’s largest buyer base with its most coveted properties — connecting those ready to move north with listings that rarely stay hidden for long.

Our digital tools, including CINC’s advanced MLS integration, ensure your home shows up where the right eyes are looking.
Because lakefront magic deserves more than word of mouth.

The Market Outlook Heading Into 2026

As inventory remains tight, we expect continued upward pressure on well-maintained, well-marketed homes.
Expect modest appreciation — not volatility — and continued interest from cash buyers and relocation clients seeking lifestyle over leverage.

For sellers, it’s an excellent time to prepare now for early-year listing launches.
For buyers, it’s a reminder that the best opportunities rarely wait for spring thaw.
