The Big Question

This is NHPR’s The Big Question! We ask you a question about life in New Hampshire, you submit an answer, and your voice may be featured on air or online.

The median home price in New Hampshire hit a new record high this summer: $575,000. The last time the state had a balanced housing market, when the number of buyers and available homes was roughly equal, was a decade ago. Vacancy rates for rentals are well below the national average.

So for August’s Big Question, we’re asking: How has the cost of housing in New Hampshire shaped your life decisions?
