As February wraps up, we’re seeing momentum continue across Seacoast communities like Portsmouth, Dover, and Exeter.

Here’s what stands out right now:

  • Inventory remains limited, especially under $800,000

  • Well-priced homes are going under agreement quickly

  • Buyers are positioning themselves ahead of spring competition

  • Sellers are preparing listings for early March

Historically, March marks the beginning of increased listing activity — but buyer demand typically rises just as quickly. That means properly presented and strategically priced homes can still perform extremely well before the market becomes more crowded.

For buyers, this is often a window of opportunity before the spring surge hits full force.
