New Hampshire’s Housing

By Laura Knoy on Thursday, March 5, 2009.

We continue our monthly series on the economy with a look at the New Hampshire housing market. The state has been hit hard by shirking home prices and a rise in the rate of foreclosures, but there may be hope. President Obama’s stimulus package may help responsible homeowners at risk of losing their homes, and allow first time homebuyers to find a house that is finally in their price range. We’ll look at housing and mortgages and how they are faring in a down economy.

Guest

  • Russ Thibeault, president of Applied Economic Research in Laconia
